NgENNEAPOLlS MARKETS,
Chamber Of Commerce.

Wheat was easier in the morning. and sales
ranged under the low prices Of the preceding
day. In the first hour low price had been
reached, and then a small upward turn car
ried the market above the opening price The
buying was to realize on short sales but it
was mainly started by the large exports re-
ported, and the heavy buying demand at the
Atlantic ports for the same purpose. Cables
were especially quiet and business dull at
foreign ports. December wheat opened at
S57Sc and closed at S53Sc.
Cash Wheat-Tbe shipments were again
considerably in excess of the receipts.
Prices on cash wheat were steady, with the
bulk of the wheat sold at about Wednesday S
figures The demand was fair for good
wheat, but very slow for low grades. No
sold mainly at csc. A few fancy lots i'll
sold from 92c to 04c, with 93c the most com
mon price. Receipts of wheat for twenty
four hours were "a cars, shipments los cars.
Duluth received 26 cars.
FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The added daily output of the mills
grinding yesterday will probably aggregate
2a,500 bbls. Shipments. 27,0J5 bbls. Quoted
at 81 1905 for first patents: S4.50O4.lO Tor
second patents; So 90td4. 80 for fancy and ex-
port bakers: s. 100l2. As for low grades. in
bags including red dog. The flour markets
are pretty steady but not any more active.
Sales for two days, although aggregaung
fairly we'll, have not been on so large scale
perhaps There are some chances taken in
making the forward flour sales that part of
the local millerS are unwilling to assume.
They have booked less than others who
could see a reasonable excuse for 1t. The
business has picked up and with the move
ment of the new crop promises better results.
Bran and Shorts = Shipments, 1907 tons.
Quoted at S0.50@10 for bran, S1t0l525 for
shorts ana Sl6Q1S for middlings A good de-
mand exists for all styles of mill feed that
promises to continue well into the autumn at
least which promise is made by conditions
of coarse grain. Oats are cheaper, but corn
is not The latter is the more important reg
ulator. The demand is now, much of IL,
from the east and taking the average cost
there it is nearly 1c pound. New oats Will
be but little dearer. but corn will cost as
much. There is fair prospect yet for mill
feed.
Corn-Receipts. $500 bu. Quoted at 5S159c
on track Market was very quiet for corn,
but it was taken fairly up to the extent OF the
local demand. There was not much inquiry
for any other purpose.
Oats-Receipts 1850 bu; shipments 9l0 blu.
Quoted at 27@3Oc by sample. Some new were
offered, to arrive at near the present price
of spot grain, but buyers thought about 21c
for new was about all they could stand for
forward delivery of ten days or two weeks.
Rye-Recelpts q. 900 bu; shipments none.
Quoted al 65@67c for sample cars OF new on
track. The offerings of rye were readily alb
sorbed when the quality was satisfactory. A
few cars coming along in the sweat, or damp
ness. from some cause were slow, but dry,
sound grain moved easily.
Barley-Receipts none; shipments none.
Nominal at 4c@55c for poor to fine samples
of No. 8.
Flax = Receipts $50; shipments none.
Flax sales are based on 100llc off from the
Chicago market.
than car lots $22 .25@22.75, with cornmeal at
S20.75@2L75.
