MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber ofCoIn,nerce.

The early wheat market had in it some
show OF hrmness, for the phenomenal
strength 1t so recently showed was not for
gotten by the shorts that were caught in the
whlrl. Excepting their experience there WIS
nothing in the present situation To o"rSn ex-
rec atoms of much higher prices. Gables were
steady and, as foreign marAe.s wee neal
up to our own, there was nothing III them to
cause expectations of more than the Crdin-
ary break from an extraordinary rise FL
nally after about an hour of steadiueSs, prices
OF futures fell about Voc, and sales of May
were once more below the magic ST bushel
AS the sample trading then had hardly be-
gun, IL was too late to show in the steadiness
of May, but i'll time to sympathiZe with the
decline; Closing: No. haro. March, $i.01; !;
on track, S1.0sGll .03 No northern. March

out Tnls left hardly enough for the local
milling demand, which was quite active
Prices at the start were at about 81 .0Nl2GlI .01
for good No. l northern, but before much of
the wheat was sold May wheat broke to 99l2c
and cash buyers withdrew until the market
became steadier. when thev came back and
cleaned up the tables at 99l2@Sl Near the
close and after the cash wheat had mostly
been sold, May advanced and spot wheat
was higher Spot wheat was about L2c above
May, but most of it had been sold before the
last price. Receipts of wheat for twenty

ond patents; S40450 for fancy and export
bakers: S?@?.40 for low grades in bags, in

as wheat was weak yesterday, and all buyers
at home and abroad, held off for the results
OF the break to assert their regulating bower
in the flour market They are undecided as
a rule, and while in that state are doing lit
tie. They bought as much flour on the two
days OF wheat bulge as the mills maze in
week. They bought while buoyed by the
tirmness III wheat. When that went they
collapsed, and now, with milers more dis
posed to yield to the persuasion of later
events, most flour buyers sulk, and wait for
the exhilaration OF another boom in wheat.
