MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber ofConnmerce,

Wheat cables were lower from Liverpool,
and London were easy, while French were
strong, and 1t was said there was no better
prospect for the wheat crop in that country.
Weather in most of Europe was better and in
England springlike, giving vegetation bet
ter chance. The opening wheat markets
were low and the feeling. was depressed.
Buyers found they responded to purchases,
and then, with fresh buying, the market shot
up before noon some 1c a bu, with fair de-
mand and good buying. The trouble in Chi
cago with the Hutch deals did not prove
so troublesome as expected. Closing: No.
hard April, 81 .0S; on track, Sl.0Sl201 .09l2;
No. 1 northern, April and May, S1.O6; July,
u .Os; on track, S1O6@1.06A; No. north
ern, April, S1,03; on track, S1.02@l.04.
Cash Wheat-No. l northern wheat sold
fairly to-day, but No 2 and grades below that
were very dull. Elevator companies were
the main buyers of No. northern at about
&c under July. Local millers also bought
some wheat on the same basis The outside
demand was rather small. Sales of No. /
northern were principally made at Sl.06@
1.06l2. Some fancy cars, f. o. b., brought
Sl.O701.97l2. Receipts of wheat in twenty
four hours were 232 cars; shipments, 20 cars
Duluth received 81 cars.
FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The added daily output of the mills
grinding yesterday will probably aggregate
10, Zoo bbls Shipments, 22029 bbls. Quoted at
second patents; S4.35Q5.25 for fancy and
export bakers; S2.2G12.75 for low grades, in
bags, including red dog. Flour was unset
tied, as it naturally would be after such
millers are asking 1915 for -four classed
as the highest grades of patents, while
others are selling at $3.50 and still
others 9. quoting export patents down
TO S5.25. The break was scarcely
so much on bakers and low grades. for they
are in good general request in spite Of breaks
and unsettled markets for the higher quail
ties or for wheat Even at the decline buy
q rQx fnro r,Nfh
for theydo not take to buying actively.
Bran and Shorts = Shipments 51 tons
Quoted at S14@14.50 for bran. S15.50Q16 for
shorts and Sl6917 for middlings.
Corn-Receipts. Il, $50 bu; shipments none
Quoted at 64065c on track There has re-
Gently been wide range in prices of corn for
speculation, and with it prices of spot grain
have also been more or less in sympathy, par
ticulariy with the declines. The uncertainty
for the last day or so of the standing of
Hutchinson's deals was the occasion Of more
of the late fiuctuation.
Oats-Receipts, $50 bu; shipments 1000
bu. Quoted at 50I2@52c by sample Oats
have recently been shaken down pretty well
and some are beginning to feel that there is
some reason now to look for more steadiness
with some trmnesS. 1t is quite q long time
TO the new harvest and many thought too
early to bear samples yet on prospects of an
other crop. There is good demand for spot
oats when they can be bought, when il is felt
there is safety in them.
Rye-Recelpts 80 Du; shipments, none.
Quoted at 7SllS0c for sample cars on track
There was slow market in offerings and in
curry and easier prices in sympathy with late
general declines in other grain.
Barley-Reccipts, $40 bu; shipments, none,
Quoted at 6c@70c for poor to fine samples Of
No. 3.
Flax-Receipts, 1,050 bu; shipments, LOO
