MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber OfCOrnsnerce,

Wheat opened easy, with some disposition
to look for q further break on the part of
bears. There were good buying orders on
the drop and some frmness among local
longs. There was also fair announcement
from outside. The market turned and III
the first hour rose 12c. The longs were then
greatly encouraged by the rise and shorts
were nervous fearing that the heavy break
they predicted to be more important would
not be realized. The snow of Thursday
nights storm was general throughout Min
nesota and the Dakotas, but clearing in
the Northwest. AT the rise there were
privileges and broke the market, setting
it back to where it left off last night. Some
activity was noted, but generally there was
dulness. A few talked about late seeding,
but on comparison it was found that with
good weather Tor a few days it might end
nearly as early as usual. Farm sales OF wheat
have been very light, due partly TO bad roads
perhaps.
Closing-No hard. April, S1O6; on track,
81. C6I2. No. / Northern, April and May,
Sl03A; July. SL034; on track, S1.03 1201.04.
No. Northern, April, S1.01; oh track, S1.01l2
01.02
The receipts were light with comparatively
large shipments. There was very little good
milling wheat on the tables, the most of the
offerings being off grade stuff that was slow
to sell. The local demand was moderate,
with fair buying for outside account Prices
on spot wheat ranged mostly 1l202c over
May. Considerable wheat was sold to arrive.
Receipts OF wheat for twenty-four hours were
104 cars; shipments, so cars. Duluth received
80 cars.
FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour, the ADDED daily output of the mills
grinding yesterday will probably aggregate
-, 900 bbls. Shipments II, 40 bbls. Quoted at
$510Ql5 40 for first patents; S4.9505. 10 for sec
ond patents: S4En4.60 for fancy and export
bakers; S2@2.50 for low grades, Ill bags, in
cluding red dog The demand for flour was
the current output Quite large amount of
flour has been sold lately to go abroad. More
could be spared to the advantage of manu-
facturers If it could be placed at satisfactory
prices. After all, good deal of flour finds
consumers in one way and another, though
fair amount of it was sold some time ago.
Bran and shorts.-Shipments, TAB tons.
Quoted at S15.5C@16 or bran, S165CQ1175 80
for shorts and Sl6.5O@175O for middIings.
The bran markets are steadily active but less
strong than a few weeks ago. Yet large
western trade exists and prices give fair
satisfaction.
Corn-Receipts, $3.50 Blu. Shipments $3.50
Quoted at 66@67c on track Demand limited.
The corn markets have recently been rather
quiet, with very moderate movement. The
Argentine Republic, according to the late
adVices, cannot possibly secure even q fair
crop OF corn this year and as 1t has been in
late years, strong competitor for foreign
favors the loss of the crop brings the greater
INQUIRY for American. The late movement
toward the east has been rather larger than
had been expected, but the position seems
TO be fairly satisfactory TO holders and as
they claim no signs of weakness are active
yet.
Oats-Receipts, $3.50 bu: shipments. 9,12O
bu, Quoted at 51053c by sample. The oats
markets have been irregular lately on specu
lative accounts, while spot stuff has ruled
fairly active, with prices on the latter, but
slightly affected by the fluctuations of fu-
lures. The supply seems ample for the de-
mand. a few oats were taken for seed, but
the high prices have seemed to reduce that
demand for shipment. A year ago shipments
were large for seed, and the large supply
coming here this season shows it. A larger
supply at the farms in Minnesota may be one
reason of the small demand for seed oats
here this spring.
Rye-Receipts, none; shipments, $50 blu.
Quoted al S1@lS3c for sample cars on track.
The market was quiet for there have been
but few cars here recently, and they sold at
about S10S3c by SIMPLE.
Barley-Receipts. none; shipments, none
Quoted at 55@170c for poor 10 tne samples of
No 3. Butlittle barley has been offered here
lately: due it is claimed to that grain being
about all in and sold. The few sales made
show very little alteration in the range of
value with prices at about 6C065c for the
general run.
Flax-Receipts, 1890 bu; shipments 1850
blu. Flax sales are based on SC off from the
Chicago market.
Feed-Millers' held at s2550026, with
cornmeal at S24. 5C@25
Hay-Receipts, ia tons: shipments, none.
Choice wild quoted at SS50@9.50, ana good
timothy at S10@11.50 Fair wild, S70S.
