MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber ofCorn.nerce.

The wheat markets were firmer on the
| opening with more demand, and the loss of
] Wednesday was nearly regained. Other
| grains were we'll supported Also all classes
| apparently sympathizing with the report of
| heavier damage by frost in the North than
was at first supposed, although the injury is
more in quality than in loss of yield Still it
was believed the latter would be considerable.
| Cables were frmer which gave a feeling of
more stability. The Cincinnati Price Current
says to-day: Corn is further improved, and
moro than an average crop is practically as
| sured.'' Excessive moisture is injuring
| stacked wheat to some extent in the West.
Farmers are evidently preparing for enlarged
| wheat areas in the winter wheat states
December wheat opened at 81 and closed
| OF 99lsc; September closed at 95l2c.
CASH WHEAT.
| Cash wheat was fairly active. with in
| creased offerings The buying was scattered
| Local millers were moderate buyers, and one
| elevator company bought few cars Ship
pers were picking up good many lots No.
! 1 northern, new, sold mainly around CSC and
| No. Csc. Low grades were dull. Receipts

shipments. 151 cars. Duluth received 1872

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The added daily output Of the mills
grinding yesterday will probably aggregate
8. 300 barrels Quoted at S. 1Od5 so for first
patents; S490@5.I5 for second patents; S4.45
@495 for fancy and export bakers: S2.4O@
sos for low grades in bags, including red
dog.
Flour sales have not been so large for
few days and the market is getting really
dull. The demand is large for all low grades
and bakers. The latter have sold up to 30s
Sd for the basis of London delivery, but the
stuff really to go TO the continent. About all
the bakers and low grades are contracted
that milierS dare to sell until more patents
are disposed of. To sell class of flour out of
proportion to the sales of other classes is
risky and is too much of a speculative char
acter to make a satisfactory situation.
Bran and ShortS-Shipments, 70S tons;
quoted at Sl0.00@105 80 for bran, S15.250l5.75
for shorts and S17.000o1S 90 for middlings
Bran was dull and in that respect tending to
weakness. Some millers that have been ex-
porting claim good demand for that trade
that brings better results than to sell TO the
domestic trade. They asked firm prices and
others asked about as much, but buyers were
holding off. The eastern trade was quite
well supplied when there was talk of higher
freghts
Corn-ReceIpts, 1910 bu; shipments, none
Quoted at 60062 on track. Corn was well
supported by speculation in the near future
September being stronger this morning than
it was last night. The movement here was
by sample with that regulated mainly to the
requirements of local consumption at pres
ent. The price is naturally held up by the
small crop, but the near futures and stiff cash
prices are due to what is supposed to be man
ipulation of prices by some New York con
Germ working through Chicago brokers.

Blu. Quoted at 2S12@3Ol2c by sample. The
oats markets are dull in speculative features
with good sample demand that is supplied
only to little more than to fill the wants of
local consumers. Prices of futures were
moderately well held, but were less stiff than
corn, wheat or rye. The reason of il may be
due to all shorts interests being eliminated
and prices left to the care of cash demand
The quality is proving to be very satisfactory
for the new crop grain.
Rye-Receipts, 500 bu; shipments 1900
