MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber OF Commerce.

Wheat was weak and lower on large re-
celpts throughout the country and prospect
i've increase in the Northwest with better
weather. Reports from Europe were varia-
BILE. some indicating firm markets and others
weak. Still reports were not unfavorable in
view of the decline suffered on this side.
Prices fell from a closing of 92c saturday for
December to 90Ssc early in the day. There
was brisk trading on the decline to even up
business on the basis of lower markets. 1t is
thought that a large short interest may, with
scare cause reaction.
Total receipts at the four principal spring
wheat points since Aug. l. the beginning OF
the crop year foot up: Minneapolis, 1855,
$50 bu; Duluth. II, SAP. 54S bu; Chicago. 49,
IS, 5lS bu; Milwaukee, ZOOS, 35S bu; making
total of IS, 1924 bu: against 20.l41.sSS bu
during the same time last year, and %, 969 2lS
bu in 1859.
The total receipts of wheat at the four
principal winter wheat points Toledo, st;
Louis. Detroit and Kansas City, from July !
to date are 6,750,9 l7 bu, against 15,24S Az bu
in 1900 and 1885. s03 bu in 1889.
Local flour shipments since Jan. amount
to 5,63s,9I9 bbls, against 5,246, 7g4 bbls during
the same time in 1880 and 4 106, 301 bbls in 1889
Offerings were large to-day The demand
for good milling wheat was quite good but
No. 3 and no grade worked out slow. Prices
opened up about Ole for No. northern, but
fell 14(0 l2c before many cars were sold. The
bulk of No. 1 sold at 9Cl2 and No. at s7Ge
S7I2.
Receipts of wheat for forty eight hours
were sol cars; shipments, 16S cars. Duluth
received ,169 cars.
FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS
Flour-The added daily output of the mills
grinding yesterday will probably aggregate
%, $40 bbls. Shipments, 34,414 bbls. Quoted
at 81 61G15 for first patents; S45CM415 for
port bakers: 81. g2503 for low grades, in bags,
including red dog.
Flour continues to move fairly, consider
ing the late break i'll the wheat markets.

but indications point to increased movement
of fresh selling when the necessary reaction
comes i'll wheat probably this weak. Large
sales were made for forward sale last weak
early and for few days before. Mills are
partly employed to-day to fill them, so that
temporary slackness in the demand would
create but little notice. Prices are shaded
lower.
Bran and Shorts-Shipments 1,O06 tons.
Quoted at 025GD TO- 70 for bran. Si1.2JG1I2 for
shorts and 81. 5C0f3.50 for middlings
Bran continues 10 sell steadily with some
firmness, i'll sympathy with questions at
other points. The shorts offered moveo at
Si02 above the cost of bran. Millstuff
is taken little more perhaps for the Eastern
trade, with Il fair Western demand through
Wisconsin. Illinois and Iowa. with a market
fairly satisfactory for all points in one or
other OF the feed stuffs.
Corn-Receipts. 3, 1870 bu; shipments none.
Quoted at 54I2G55l2c for No. 8. Corn was
quiet, and in the market for future months
/
favorable for gathering the new crop, and
new corn may be in the market early. De-
cember is discounted quite literally for that
reason. Samples are very scattering, and
the stock of corn here is small in the hands
of feed millers, with hardly any in the ele-
vators.
Oats-Receipts. 22,2-O bu: shipments, 3,7so
bu. Quoted at 21@2712c for No. 2 white; 26l2
Go27c Tor No. white, and 25l2@t26I2c for Nos
2 and 3. Oats continue 10 sell fairly. with
moderate movement for shipment. Tine re-
ceipts to-day were larger and the offerings
from sample rather larger. Futures were
pretty steady quotations being a little easy
and corn have had little influence in the
oats markets. The crop is large and tends to
check much buying on speculative account
Rye-Receipts, $40 bu; shipments, 9. 100 bu;
quoted at Sic, f. o. b., for No. 2. Rye was
wanted, with very few lots offered. These
were, taken readily at quotations when OF
standard quality,
Barley-Receipts, 1860 bu; shipments,
2;4G0 bu: steady at 4c@55c for poor to fine
samples of No. 3. Barley sells pretty well,
excepting poor grades. Mailing barley OF
the upper class meets O fair shipping de-
mand. Too much grain that Is damp or dis
cclored finds its way here TO sell satisfac-
torily. There was enough of these poor quail
tiles to satisfy requirements, while more
bright dry grain was wanted.
tlax--Receipts. i, 200 bu; shipments, 1880
bu. Flax sales are based on 10c off from the
Chicago market.
Feed-Milers hold at SIS 5c@10.50; less than
@22.
Hay-Receipts, 70 tons. Choice wild quoted
ut 5000; fair wild. S 09 poor wild S60i7;
good timothy; SI1@l9.
