MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS..


Wheat was weak and lower for future
months with very little business i'll them.
Cables quoted English markets slow, with
little offered. Paris was quoted lower on
some months and higher on others, with flour
cheaper. The visible supply increased libe-
rally of both wheat and corn That with the
SOFT weather made spectators shy of tn c
long side, and dullness took away what tone
there would have been.
CASH WHEAT
The demand for No. 1 northern was good.
Prices were about the same as Saturday No.
northern sold principally ut SSc. Some thin
lois sold at size, and some sales were made
at s7l23S7S4c tor good wheat, when the early
decline Ill futures occurred. Other grades
were dull. Low grades were not improved.
1t was difficult to find buyers, except in a
small way, and the POOR lots were almost I'M
salabIe. Some lots were sold at 45c, with con-
siderable offered around that price, with no
takers.
. Wheat screenings were nominally steady at
S95OGBlO per ton, with light offerings. Diff
cult to get any for prompt shipment.
FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The added daily output of the mills
grinding yesterday will probably aggregate
Is, 200 bbs. Shipments, 1855 bbls Quoted
at S4.5o04.70 for first patents; 81 45Gf55 for
second patents; S4Gl4. 80 for fancy and ex-
port bakers; s.. 1898 for low grades, in bags,
including red dog.
Flour sold as well as usual for the last few
days Few large transactions were noted, but
considerable went ont in scattering way to
export and to distribute in the domestic
markets. Prices are naturally weak under
the circumstances of waiting for a more
active market.
Bran and Shorts Shipments, 1,148 tons.
Quoted at $40 7j611 % for bran; SO. T5Ht1 25
for shorts and $12Q13 for middlings. Mill
stuff is lower, and millers mainly offered
bran and shorts at about SLOTS. 1t was said
that some were offered under that. The de-
mand is fair for present use, but many are
waiting for further declines. When the bot
tom is reached, and dealers recognize it, buy
Ing IS expected to proceed more literally
again on contracts for future supplies.
Corn-Receipts, 29, $40 bu; shipments To-
6SO bu; quoted at 32Gl33c for No. 3, 34I26l35c
for No, yellow and 35Q537c for No. 2 yellow.
Corn was easy and slow, with such lots as
were below good sound shipping difficult to
move at any reasonable price. The stocks of
corn i'll store, public and private, increased
last week about 100000 bu. The great want
in the trade is cars TO ship 1t out to the At
IRntlc coast for distribution there, and also
for export.
Oats-Receipts, $3.50 bu; shipments. 49,
$40 bu; quoted at 29Ql29I2c for No. white,
2S(g29c for No. j white, and 26l2@27I2c for
Nos. aHd3 Oats are quiet. with free offer
ings of samples at the current quotations
With cars more available for loading here the
demand would likely improve There is
nothing to speak Of done for future delivery.
Rye-Receipts, Ito bu; shipments, 1900
bu. Quoted at S0l0S1c f. o. b. for No. 2.
Barley-ReceiptS 1880 bu; shipments. TO-
$50 bu; weak at 500 46c for No. 3. The barley
trade was dull as the low prices and modest
demand tends TO cur;ail business, including
arrivals. There was no important alteration
in the market in any way.
Flax-Receipts, 5, 760 bu; shipments. none
Flax sales are based, less freights, on
Chicago market.
Feed-Millers held at SfG@1750; less than
car lots, Sl6.5C6tl7.50; with cornmeal at S15Gl
Il; bolted meal, 81; graduated, 1913.
Hay-Receipts, 115 TONS shipments, none;
$500; poor wild, S6@7 timothy nominal at
S120l 10; upland, SgQb9.5); fancy Iowa upland
would sell at $3.50.
