St. Paul daily globe., 1891-01-13
MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS,
Chamber of Commerce.

Wheat opened weak but more active in the
morning. due to disappointment in the final
report of the government on the wheat pro-
duction of 1890 and the prospects of that of
1891. The condition of the latter was higher
than had been expected. and the yield OF the
former was placed above the common senti-
ment of the bulk of traders. The further
fact that the Northwest wheat movement
has continued larger than had been thought
probable encouraged weakness for the day.
Prices fell quickly after the opening of the
future markets. There was absence of out
side buying, and elevator companies did but
little, as they are shipping about as mgch as
they receive daily. The first trading YVES
above Saturdays closing, and touched

changes laler. Total receipts at the four
