MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS,
Chamber ofCo,m,nerce.

Wheat was weak and lower yesterday with
easy cables and the buyers OF Monday trying
to get out with profit. The weather was
good in all directions. The general report of
making rapid progress in the Northwest,
with that long enough in the ground making
a good start. Receipts were smaller. There
was large increase of wheat on passage, but
the decrease OF corn was as much. Wheat
futures were somewhat unsettled all day,
but easy most of the time. Close: No
hard April, 81 90: on track, S1.0961109l2; No.

ern, April, Sl.04; on track, S1.041201.05l2.
CASH WHEAT.
Cash wheat was again slow Yesterday. Lo-
cal millers were not in the market, and the
outside demand was light, buyers only taking
few fancy cars. Elevator companies were
fair buyers of No. l northern at 2d124c under
July. Some sales of No. 1 northern were
made before the break al Sl.07l2Q1. 90 f. o. b.,
No. 1 northern sold at Sl.S'12 delivered, with
some lots selling at S1.06 when July broke to
81 .0S14. Low grades were dull. No. , north
ern sold principally at SL05. Receipts of
wheat twenty-four hours were 220 cars; ship
ments, Sc cars. Duluth received 81 cars.
FLOUR AND COARSE G RAINS.
Flour-The added daily output of the mills
grinding yesterday will probably aggregate
20,309 bbls.
Shipments 12,414 bbls. Quoted at $500
SIS for first patents: S5.25@5.55 for second
patents; S4.350525 for fancy and export
bakers; S2.2C02.75 for low grades, in bags
including red dog.
Business remained lifeless. with nothing
further doing than the filling of the small
order trade. Fair sales made when the mar
ket was active partially covers the present
output. 1t is now nearly week since the
break began, and that time measures the past
length of the prevailing dullness. What is
in store the millers and flour dealers would
like to know, but neither sees clearly enough
to inspire with confidence. Practically no
one wants any flour.
Quoted at Sl5Gl15.50 for bran, S1G117 for
shorts and Si7@517.50 for middl:ngs
Corn Receipts, 3050 bu. Shipments r.
$50. Quoted at 6i065c on track. This mar
ket was dull and prices easy for samples in
sympathy with the generally unsettled mar
kets for other grain and for corn on specula-
ton. Fine prospects for all STYLES of crops
and the outlook for good weather ahead give
poor encouragement TO corn buyers at late
prices There is weakness in the foreign de-
mand also. A great deal of live stock has
been disposed of to save feed, and what there
is left does not consume so rapidly. The
supplies on hand are looked to now with con-
fdence to meet the demand.
Oats-Receipts 6,640 bu; shipments, 1900
bu: quoted at 5C@51c by sample Some late
pressure has been brought TO bear in the oats
markets to sell out. People long of oats for
future delivery are showing signs OF Weari-
ness, with more disposition to unload OH to
some one when he can be found, who will
voluntarily shoulder the load, now too heavy
for late carriers. Yet the latter in many
eases. put on bold front and make the mos
out of them. There have been recent rallies
after sharp breaks, and the bears scare easily.
Rye - Receipts none; shipments none;
quoted at S0@S1c for sample cars on track.
This market fell 10 lower level nominally,
with few lots for sale ana no special inquiry.
Prices are very much lower to sell in consid-
erable quantities.
Barley-Receipts, none; shipments, none;
quoted at ga l0c for poor to fine samples of
No. 3. Rather more inquiry comes from
country sellers of barley for the value of their
samples sent in for bids, the most of it only
moderate in quality and figured on for feed
ing. Still some desirable samples are offered
to sell near outside.
Flax-Receipts, 1,750 bu; shipments, 9, 75O
bu. Flax sales are based on Sc off from the
Chicago market.
Feed-Millers held at 81. 7.5O92S.5O, with
cornmeal at S26.50@2750.
Hay-Receipts, 90 tons; shipments, 10 tons.
Choice wild quoted at SJ.500975 and good
timothy at S11@l1.5O; fair wild, $S0S.50.
