MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber ofCo,s,,neree.

Wheat was unsettled and lower on good
weather and prospects in this country and
some Improvement in weather and crop con-
ditions in Europe. The opening was well be-
low the closing figures, with some depres-
sion. fair buying demand took the market
q little higher shortly after the opening and
then the course was of beariSh tenor, with
frequent small fluctuations during the MORN
ing hours. July was most active again, with
May out of fashion, excepting so far as hold
over trades were concerned. The early weak
ness was the reverse of Yesterdays late rise.
Cables lacked uniformity of Interpretation
and, while some called them an improvement,
others thought them less favorable for an up
market. The small reductions in our visible
supply statements led some dealers to insist
that the supply in thirty days would be no
sm aller than it was year ago for the CORE
So onding time. These with the good wealth
er were an offset to the bullish tendency 9TH
erwise, and added to our prospect in this
country, lett the market unsettled, with
changes and uncertain results ahead. The
larger movement being expected in the
Northwest it had small effect, excepting to
make buyers backward. July opening at

i'll speculative buying, and purchasers held
down their orders to the amounts wanted to
meet present demands as rule. few fair
sized sales were reported The markets are
too unsettled for active business. Large
sales were made few days ago by millers

unsettled wheat and oats market affected
the views of buyers with respect to corn
| values.

bu; quoted at 52@j4l2c by sample. The late

| pie grain adversely. Prices were little more
uncertain and when there was urgency 10 sell
| the want of activity and enthusiasm of buy

wanted and buyers would take them if they
| felt secure of their footing.
