MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
CI,arnher off Co,n,nerce.

Wheat was lower at the opening, the re-
action being about 5sc below the closing last
night There was a higher range for corn
noted in the Chicago market with which
there was a feeling that wheat would sym
pathiZe, and there was some steadiness after
the early break in wheat on account of it.
Trading was much on the scalping order,
without any large lines going from either
side. Gold still goes out in exports. with the
large quantity attracting fresh attention.
Still the opinion prevails that gold exports
are nearing the end. Small lines and quick
changes from one side to the other gave the
market a chOppy character within narrow
range. Closing: No. l hard, June, S1.04; on
track. S1.0II2: No. l northern. June, 81. O1l2;
July, Sl.02I2@1.G25s: on track, 81 .0li2@1. OF;
No = northern. June, 97tac; on track, 97l2
@99c.
Cesh Wheat-No. 1 northern sold princi-
pally from 51.01s4 to S102A. and No. north
ern from CSC to s., with the bulk at 9S12cQSl.
There was good demand for No. l north
ern, but it was not so active as Friday. Ele-
vator companies were i'll the market for
No. northern al a cent under July, and one
or two millerS at Sl011c under. The other
grades were slow. Receipts were fair, and
shipments smaller. Receipts of wheat for
"a hours were ~ cars; shipments, Is cars.
Duluth received 60 cars.
FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The added daily output of the mills
grinding yesterday will probably aggregate
90, 400 bbls Shipments, 1851 bDls. Quoted
second patents; S4.25D4.90 for fancy and ex-
port bakers; S202. 25 for low grades in bags,
including red dog. The flour trade is slug
gish vet for there is more flour offered than
there is present demand for. Perhaps the
current production in this country does not
exceed consumption, as many mills are shut
down. But the surplus does not go down so
much as is desirable in view of the cetermin-
alton of dealers to carry short lines of flour
for the present. An export market would
quickly relieve the market if we had it.
Wheat is freighted at less cost than flour.
Bran and Shorts-Shipments, 6S7 tons.
Quoted at SO 75@0l1 for bran. S14@l4.25 for
shorts and Si5@15;5O for middlings Bran
aud shorts were held with some tirmness at
quotations owing to good demand for
prompt shipment.
