MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.

The shorts had filled pretty well Tuesday,.
and to-day prices were easier from the firsS
and fell to where there was some buyfng for
another rise, checking the decline. Prices
were unsettled put fairly steady, il the email
fluctuations OF I30Ac are excepted Corn
and oats i'll the line of futures were lower
III the morning for about the Same
reason that wheat was lower but
they later regained strength. The rise
had been too rapid to be expected to
continue without halt. Receipts were fair
here and very moderate movement was re-
ported in the country. There was sharp
rise about Il O'Clock that took May wheat up
again, ana under some excitement transact
tons were lively. When the top was gained
business relapSed into some dulness. About
clock there was severe break in futures;
prices fell about lie. Wheat closed: No /
hard, January, Ole; on track, 92c; No north
ern, January and February, 0OI2c: Nav, g36se;
on track, Ole; No. 9 northern. January, SSc:
on track, S9l2@S9c.
CASH WHEAT
The demand for cash wheat was good and
particularly so for No. northern and No. 2
northern, but prices were lower, correspond
ing with the early decline in futures q range OF
9l02c mostly for No. / northern. The mill
ers did not take hold so literally as yester-
day, but elevator people and outsiders took
hold quite we'll Receipts were 1855 cars and
shipments 120 cars.
FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-Ihe added daily output of the mills
grinding yesterday will probably aggregate
1900 bbls. Shipments, 15443 bbls. Ouoted
at S4.55@4.9O for first patents: S43O04bO FOR
second patent; S360@410 for fancy and ex-
port bakers; S1S0@2.10 for low grades in
bags, including red dog. The market has not
lost ground in few days at least, although,
considering the amount Of advance in the
wheat market, flour has not made as much
Roadway. Wheat is about 36l5c higher and
flour ought TO be l5c higher to CORRESPOND.
Some are getting more for flour,
and all are holding with more
firmness, but the full force Of the
wheat rise did not appear in the flour mar
ket. Buyers of the latter are disposed to wait
for the full establishment Of the rise before
pushing their orders, and then they want
them filed at the price quoted before the ad-
vance in grain. Trade has been so long void
OF life 1t will take a little more effort to
arouse it to full activity.
