MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber OF Commerce.

Wheat opened steady today at the closing
price of Saturday, but the market had no
edge to it and after Il short time fell easily
about l2c. There was frmness saturday,
caused by the Russian prohibition edict.
When the matter was looked into il was felt
to be practically helpful so far as our prices
are concerned. The market was very weak
ABOUT the middle of the session, but with
large buying sold up full cent shortly after.
Ca les were firm and generally quoted
higher

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS
Flour-The added daily output of the
mills grinding yesterday will probably aggre-
gate - 400 bbls. Shipments, %, 4a5 bbls.
Quoted at SA60Q14S5 for first patents; SL59@
46) for second patents; sat - for fancy
nd @ ba in
bags, including red dog. Flour continued
in good export demand, and ii Yves possible
to make fairly satisfactory sales i'll such
cases as seemed to call for ii to be pushed
along on fresh business. The domestic market
takes great deal ofltheioutput. although that.
if left to absorb the entire production would
soon fill up the channels and create a sur
plus that would be difficult to manage AS it
Is the export inquiry takes away ali surplus
above domestic demand. The market price
is steady.
Bran ana Shipments. 1923 tons.
Quoted at Sill 75G1l2 for bran. Sl20I2S5 for
snoris and SI2.a0 1li3.5J for middlings.
Millstuff is selling well and miilers who
happened TO be well sold up were pretty stiff
in their asking rates. Others sold at the
previous figures The range OF asking prices
for bulk bran had spread of about 75c a ton.
At Ome mills common shorts were held at
soc above bran, with others varying as they
happened to be situated on sales, modified by
the qualities of the Offering, The late firm
ness in corn caused part of the strength OF
| feed.
| Corn-Receipts, $40 bu; shipments. 270
| bu. New quoted at39l i2c.
Corn was firm, but the req lest for samples
was moderate only, with that filed mainly
| with the new corn offered. The old corn

average, with that source of demand ex-
pected to last through the cereal year
| There was firm opening in the futures mar
kets and while November did not start at
| the extreme limit noted last week. there was
! little general change in the position.
| COats-Receipts, 50, 600 bu; shipments, none.
| Quoted at 3Jl2Gp31c for No. white; 29lz0
| 3UI2c for No. 3 white and 2SG130c for Nos. =
| ana 3. Oats are firm and there is very little
| late accumulation. Some oats are held in
private storage, but the public houses con-
tain nothing TO mention. Shippers took away
the surplus last week above the requirements
| for local consumption. A good export de-
| mand was said to exist at the Atlantic sea
| board that wonld seem to assure fair returns
for the remainder of the crop.
| Rye-Receipts, 43l0 bu: shipments, 1880
| bu. Quoted at So120S7c for No. !.
Barley-Reeeipts, 1880 bu; shipments,
$40 bu; steady at 4oQ155c for No. 3.
| s.The barley market is in q rut. No specula-
| ton of importance is noted in futures of ii
anywhere and. with full supplies OF samples
offered all around, the demand has no sharp
ness to il. The prices barley sells at have a
very wide range, and abn~t all there is that Is
