MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Con,nrerce.

Wheat was sustained Yesterday morning,
partly by strength at other places. Later the
support did not save prices from bad break.
Perhaps one OF the most weakening features
was the difficulty of finding storage for the
wheat brought here. The arrivals are still
large and amounted to 1,O44 cars. Duluth
GOT 725 cars. Chicago 1855 cars. Cables were
steady and dull for wheat. The large arrivals
and the storage difficulty that bids fair to be
troublesome, produced disquiet Ill the mind
of buyers The market fell fiat after the
noon hour. While there was less decline at
other points. even they weakened in svmpa-
thy. Long buyers grew weary and sold out
i'll part. The visible supply increased 2,91O,-
90 0bu.
Cash Wheat-Receipts of wheat were 1,c47
cars: shipments. II cars; Duluth received
TBS cars. The cash wheat market was slow,
with a large supply. Early in the day NO
northern sold at 6t12c for choice wheat but
the demand at that price was limited. Inc
bulk of the good wheat sold at Csc later IN
the day. No. was slow, with large offer
ings Sales were mostly at 50W6)c. Low
grades were slow. For full range of prices
see cash sales. Late in the day straight
country No. northern sold at 654@65l2c.
Considerable wheat was carried over.
FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-Flour was decidedly slow for do
mestic use. as we'll as for export. This is to
be expected afetr so long depression III wheat
markets with so many mills running at
greater capacity and making more flour than
H..
there was no trouble about surplus There
is now little export buying. which throws too
mucn flour upon the domestic market, ana
IS setting to a condition of chronic dullneSS
An advance in wheat would distribute the
flour better by parcelling it out among re-
| taiers, who are said not to be heavily sup
Piled By the time they would be filled up,
export buying might increase again, as it
would likely do with the pressure from this
side to sell removed
10 odd al nnfnnt
yesterday will probably aggregate @e,s0o
bbls. Receipts. none; shipments, 26.
17g bbls. Quoted at So. 7O@4 for first patents;
| So. 5O@3 IS for second patents; $?.35@290 for
fancy and export bakers 81. iC@1.35 for low
grades in bags, including red dog.
Bran and Shorts-Millstutf was in rather
more demand, and the minimum prices were
| advanced by millers from 50 Saturday to
| 1928 in bulk yesterday. The top figures re-
| manned where they nominally were Satur-
| day, at $40. Shorts showed market with
| rather better feelings in it also. Bulk lots
| were held at $9.7501. excepting for some
| choice, held above. The output was light,
which may tend to strengthen the market.
| Millstuff sent east by lake. before the close
| of navigation, cost less than all-rail ship
ments now, and the early lots are undersell-
ing fresh arrivals, making slow demand for
sacked stuff. Shipments, 022 tons.
Corn-rhe corn markets were steady with
| May corn selling early at small fraction
higher than the closing Saturday. Cash
corn was said to be in pretty good general
supply with receipts holding up to expec-
tatious generally. The small rise today was
| in sympathy with other grain, rather than
| from any independent action. Liverpool
| quoted the market firm for spot corn. After
| the early rise the market settled back and
was dull. Receipts, 52,940 bu; shipments,
| 610 bu. The cash market was slow, with con-
siderable offered.
Oats-Raised fraction this morning in the
May prices, but it was chiefly with the other
markets. The supply of csample oats was
large and the demand was slow. See sales
for prices. Receipts, 1880 bu: shipments,
$3.50 blu.
Rye-No. 2 rye is nominal at about Ale.
Demand limited. Receipts. 1900 bu; ship
ments, 540'bu
Barey-Receipts, 20, 800 blu; shipments 49,
90 bu
Flax-Receiptss9. 100 blu shipments, 74O bu.
Feed-Millers held at Sl5@9l6; less than car
lots. Sl5@16.25; with cornmeal at S14.5U@l5.
Granulated meal, $50
Hay-'rhe market is firmer, with only a few
cars on track. Choice Iowa upland is salable
at IS, and Minnesota, S1017.50 Receipts 23O
IONS; shipments. As tons.
