MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.

quite well in the early part Of the session
with large trading. Many orders from out
siders were here to be filed, which, with To-
cal order and scalping of room traders, made
business active. Later, the early buying be-
ing over, there was disposition to realize,
and the market went off sharply. The break
brought trading against privileges, keeping
up brisk business. Reports of crops were
as wide apart as as ever Other American
markets yielded as much as this, and the
feeling was quite unsettled through the day.

There is good demand for low grade but
ter say such makes as usually sell at 3 to &c,
several car loads having been shipped out
during the last few days. The grocery trade
is picking up the 8@12c butter quite closely.

at once at 15c, and sometimes more SO that
the market can be called in frst-class cOndi-
ton for almost all makes, and especially so
for choice goods. Cheese-Prces are steady
and unchanged, with better feeling exist
ing. Young America and brick firm at quo
tations. Twins show an advancing tend
ency, and cheddats are firmly held. The
receipts of eggs are light, and the demand
is for small lots and not large, though the
market is steady. and those who have fresh
stock are holding for 1401412c, with an &C.
casional sale made fraction above. The po-
tato market is firm, with fair demand and mod
crate offerings The offerings of all Kinds Of

ate supply. An occasional fancy calf brings
