The wheat market opened a shade higher
than it closed Saturday and there was some
inquiry, but on the decline in other places
weakness set in here. There was little
more cholara in the market as a factor in the
situation. Cables were weak and in some re-
ports were called lower. The arrivals of
wheat at all the leading wheat receiving
points were larger and the movement from
farmers bins in the Northwest are larger. At
q few points in North Dakota the farmers are
filing the elevators with their present offer
ing. The movement OF grain to Minneapolis
and to Duluth was active, but would have
been larger if cars had been obtaina BILE.
Some elevators are already full of wheat.
Cash Wheat-Receipts were oSS cars; ship
ments 1913 cars. Duluth received 763 cars.
There was good demand for new wheat,
held about where it sold Saturday, but No. =
was little lower. Local millers, elevator
companies and outside millers were in the
market. New No. l northern went princl-
cars brought little more, and some that
were only fair l2c less. Old No. North ern
cleaned up pretty well at 72(114c to local and
outside dealers, principally the latter. New
No. . sold mostly from % to &c. Old No. .
was slow. New No. 3 and lower grades were
in fair demand, but the old no grade was
very dull.
\FLoUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The flour market remained quiet
and with prices showing an easy range. The
local production is being pretty well dis
posed of. though sometimes concessions
have to be accepted. Stocks az Eastern
points are said TO be only moderate ana
show little accumulation. Flour appears to
be very cheap at present quotations, and the
margin of profit is small. Foreign supplies
are reported 10 be large, and with good
crop outlook the foreign trade does not show
much anxiety to buy. They Will buy, how
ever, and buy freely at prices they will bid.
The sales would make loss to millers II the
bulk of bids were accepted. The added
daily output of mills grinding yesterday will
probably aggregate $500 bbls. Quoted at
S3.9nn430 for first patents; So. 75G03.90 for
second patents; S2.9C6l3. 10 for fancy and eX-
port bakers; Si.3 D1.9J for low grades i'll
bags. including red dog.
Bran and Shorts-The movement Of mill
stuffs continued On about the same basis as
for the latter days of last week. There
seemed TO be considerable steadlness III
prices, though there were slight reductions
made in bran prices when an accumulation
was TO be moved. Shippers claim they cam
not handle except q some reduction from
quotations. Still the demand seemed quite
enough to move the large product turned out
Shipments. 1,0l4 tons; quoted at $40 .2501e5O
Tor tran, $40. sea- i.59 for shorts, and Sll.500
II for middlings.
Corn-Corn was easy all around, and, as
much of the crop is beyond the danger line
and the remainder is SO close to it, the feel
ing is that the crop is now quite safe for the
1,60o, 000, 600 blu. Some of the well posted
corn traders figure that such crop, with the
stocks of old crop likely TO be carried for
ward, Will serve all purposes of demand.
Others feel that prices are liable to go lower
in view of the weakness of wheat The mar
Ket for cash corn was lower, with more Of
fered. See sales for prices. Receipts, $500
bu: shipments, none.
Oats-Oats were in full supply at the quo
tations for futures ana, owing to that fact
with the others, that wheat and corn were
slow and weak the market lacked buoyancy
that it sometimes has. Yet there was some
steadiness all around in oats. The demand
for cash oats from the local trade was fair
Prices are still above a shipping basis. See
sales. Receipts, 50. $50 bu; Shipments 40 bu.
Rye-The market was quiet around sic de-
lvered for No. =. Demand fair around sic,
delivered, for No. 2. Receipts, 4,320 bu; ship
meuts. 2.400 blu.

cars in this morning. Much of il, while
stained, was evidently of fair mailing quail
ity and brought from 40 to 43c. with grain of
lighter weight and the same color going at

there was little sold, brought around Soc
