MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber OF Commerce.

Wheat opened excited, with 34c bulge over
Mondays close, sold up 1sc, and broke lac
during the first hour. and after that there
was more uuietness English cables came in
12d higher but Paris and Berlin came weak,
so did Antwerp. The fine weather and the
increase of 900 bu on ocean passage were
weak features. New York reported good eX-
port business, with twenty loads taken up to
noon. Receipts of winter wheat were heavy,
and with small arrivals at spring wheat
points, the aggregate receipts at interior
places exceeded 100000 bu. Liverpool
stocks show decrease of 5000 bbls of flour
month. W. D. Washburn, who is in st.
Petersburg, Russia, cabled from there that
the crops there were very short, and that
there would be nothing for export.
Cash Wheat-The offerings of cash wheat
were very light The demand was small.
The market opened with sellers asking 2@D2l2c
over Mondays price, but buyers would not
pay it. and they came down to about 1c over.
The bulk of the wheat sold at 96c with few
scattering sales made a little higher early.
Low grades were neglected, with no sale for
them. Receipts of wheat for twenty four
hours were ~ cars; shipments, A cars. Du-
luth received cars.
FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The added daily output of the mills
grinding yesterday will probably aggregate
%, 800 bbls. Shipments, 1852 bbls Quoted
at $475GD5 for first patents; S4.5504.70 for
second patents; So. 90@4.50 for fancy and ex-
port bakers: S2.10@02.45 for low grades, in
bags including red dog. The flour market
is steady, and there is some selling above the
output by portion of the local millers. while
the others are careful about their lines of
either sales of flour or purchases of wheat.
The systems of keeping close to the shore
and of going into the widest channels of
trade are practiced by different millers. The
latter have contracted sales of flour tor fut-
ure months, and have bought lines of wheat
for future months as extensively, The form
err have done little of either. Quotations
steady.
Bran and Shorts-Shipments 713 tons.
Quoted at So 40010 for bran, S15@D15 .25 for
shorts and S160lS for middlings. Bran was
quiet and easy, though the market was fairly
sustained, considering the decline in prices
of oats and some other feed stuffs. Hay is
cheaper, and pasturage generally good. Still
there is large inquiry for mill feed, with
fsir offerings.
Corn-Receipts, 1900 bu Quoted at 5612@
5SI2c on track. The corn markets are quiet
and well held. The season it late for the
new crop. and the old would soon be con-
sumed if the use were not restricted by full
prices. Market steady at Quotations.
Oats-Receipts. 1850 bu; shipments, 910
bu Quoted at 2s@o3lc by sample. The new
oats SO far offered are very presentable in
color and weight, and the only equality
that the old has with the new is in age, all
other desirable qualities being with the last
crop. A few cents covers the difference i'll
favor of the old crop.
Rye-Receipts none; shipments, 4,26O bu.
Quoted at 66@67c for sample cars of new OH
track. The late frmness in the rye markets
i'll other sections hardened prices here. Moth
ing is reported in futures. and the cash pur
chases are mainly, it is said for export.
Barley-Receipts. none: Shipments none.
Nominal at 4o@55c for poor to fine samples of
No 8. The Minnesota crop is said to be
harvested in good condition, with pros
poets of bright grain. In some of the states
harvested south of this the grain is reported
stained, particularly in Nebraska and in
Western Iowa.
Flax-Receipts none; shipments none.
Flax sales are based on 10@ilc off from the
Chicago market.
Feed-Niillers held at s21. 75@22. so; less
than car lots So .25@22. IS, with cornmeal at
$40. 1921. 70.
Hay-Reeeipts, "a tons; shipments none
Choice wild new quoted at ST .50@S; fair
wild. $j.5C@7; poor wild, S4.5G@5.50; good
timothy at S9.5C@10 new. Demand was fair,
but with much wild of one sort or another
