MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.

Wheat was steady at the outset excepting
for July. That was lower at the first, al
though rallying later. There was more firm
ness i'll foreign quotations than had been
quoted before in considerable time. That
helped to establish a better opening. 1t
seemed to be realized that prices are well
down, in view of the position of affairs all
over. Still the heavy movement i'll this
country with the large crop, bore heavily in
the opinion of a great many. Commencing
to-day and continuing throughout July and
August the chamber of commerce will ad-
journ every Saturday at noon. The Chicago
board of trade does the same.

Indifferent fashion for a Saturday moving
as it did all the week only as demanded for
present use. The present dizziness is due
almost entirely TO the difference in this
