MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber Commerce.

Cables were weak. and as far as Europe
went there was little in them TO help wheat
prices. The weather was generally clear and
hot in the West. Exports of wheat and flour
tor the week were reported at 1880 bu of
wheat for the week. against 2,5ll.00O bu last
week. Many are encouraged by The diSap-
pointing yield of winter wheat to buy for Il
rise. Liverpool quoted wheat cheaper, Lon
don steady. The markets were dull gcner-
ally. as usual Saturdays The cash wheat.
market was SLOW. with the supply above the
disposition to buy. except i'll small way.
Wheat closed as follows: No. / hard, on
track, Soc; No. l northern. August, Use:
September. 75lSc: December, 77ssc: on track.
fSt2c; NO. northern on track. 1:O15c.
FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
fIour-ReceiptS. 800 bblS: shipments, g.
154 bbls; quoted at SlGI4.4J for first patents;
S3.S0@41 10 for second patents: S2E@34o for
grades in bags including red dog. There is
little to be said regarding the posilion OF
flour. Values remain about the same, and
some millers report a fair domestic demand
but regarding the demand for export they
are somewhat reticent There is however, a
much better feeling in the trade and conf
dence daily growing as 10 the immediate
future. The vacillatlng course of the wheat
market causes buyers to hold aloof from
doing anything except supplying their i'm
mediate wants.
Corn-Receipts. 4,4j0 bu; shipments, 1,5SO
bu: quoted at 100 iSc for good dry No B. 40
47l2c for No. s yellow, and 3s6D4lI2c for dry
No. T. Corn was strong today i'll the SDecu a
tive markets. ana had considerable influence
on the cash article. Reports, almost without
exception, were ulscouraglng as to the grow
ing crop. Holders therefore, were strong i'll
their position. and the few sales that were
made brought higher prices than could be
realized yesterday. The present outlook
would warrant the hope for still higher
prices. Corn. however. is high for this sea-
son of the year, and dealers should move
with caution.
Flax-Flax sales are based, less freights
on The Chicago market. Chicago flax closed
at S1.t3i2.
0aJs-Receipts, 4.040 hu: shipments 7.'S1
bu; quoted at 3ll26a32c for No white. 3JI2Gl
3llac for No white and a9laGo3)lac for \ os
and 3. The trading i'll oats so far as
ported was very light-we make no change
III quotations. Oats are undoubtedly strong
and the probabilities are that present prices
will look cheap ere long. The demand is
good, but holders here have exhaulted IDEAS
of values which check business.
Rye-Receipts3.S00 bu: shipments |. $50 blu;
was quoted nominally at 5ol0GJc for No. f.

timothy held at S. j0G19.
Barley Receipts, 10 bu; shipments. 761
bu Barley is slow. The season is passed for
all mating purposes, and the demand is,
II any. simply tor feeding purposes. The
property is held nominally at 3S0i6c for
No. g. and No. is 3G041c according to sam
pie.
