MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.

The general markets for wheat were higher
at the opening, based upon the government
report of some decline in the whe at condi-
tons below the July report. Longs were ex-
pectlng 1t, and uulOaded upon the early buy
ers. There was report that depression in the
price OF silver worked against values, and
that was made the excuse for weakness also.
Since the government report of conditions,
Aug. 10, estimates of final yield are along
from 500. 1000 600 blu to 525,0O0,000 blu. The
bulge in futures at the opening set those buy
vance in prices actively to work. They paid
SIC for choice fresh country No. l
northern at first. There were not many
samples placed on the tables. however.
and before they got in futures broke off and
cash wheat followed. Most of the sales were
made at S1@S1I2c. Late in the day same class
of wheat that brought SIC at the start was
offered at Sic. Elevator No. northern sold
from 7s0S0c. No. 2, when choice, sold quite
we'll. Soft and bleached wheat was slow.
The demand for No. 3 was not good. The
higher prices sellers had been asking this
week has shut off the outside demand to a
large extent. Low grades were slow, except
ing at low prices. The following are the
closing quotations: No. l hard, on track,
SIC; No. northern. August, 75ssc; Septem
Der, 7Sssc; December, 7712c; on track, S012c;
No. northern, on track. 73@77c.
FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-Receipts, lbs bblS; shipments, 3S $50
bbls; quoted at Si@4.40 for first patents;
S3.S0@4. 10 for second patents: So 15Gl3. 40 for
grades in bags. including red dog. Today
some millers report a very active demand for
flour at the old prices. and some orders
were reported a trif1e better. The feeling
is generally strong, and hopes enlarged as
10 the future. The uncertain wheat market
is little discouraging inasmuch as it has
bad effect on would be purchasers of flour.
The situation, however, is considered strong
ana Hour manufacturers are greatly eGcOur-
aged.
Corn-Receipts, none; shipments, none;
quoted at 43(04Sc for good dry No. 3, 450D
41l2c for No. ) yellow, and 3S94ll2c for dry
NO. f. There were no receipts yesterday,
consequently we can quote no cash sales
The feeling, however, is very nervous The
speculative market yesterday morning was d
little wild, and is not an index as 10 the un-
dercurrent of opinion. Practically corn is
high for the season. Specuatiyeiy it may be
cheap
Barley-Receipts. 1850 bu; shipments 700
bu. Barley is slow The season is passed for
all mating purposes, and the demand is
1t any. simply for feeding purposes. The
property is held nominally at 3Sai6c for
No. 3, and No. is 30@4Jc, according to sam
pie.
oats-Receipts, $3.50 blu: shipments, 9.27O
bu: quoted at 3ll2@34c for No. white, 32A
@33c for No white and 39@3lc for Nos 2
and oats. Oats are strong and higher and
the market somewhat excited. Quotations
herein are at the top and based upon the
opinions Of those in the trade. Sales were
but few, and holders have very strong views
regarding the future. There is, however a
limit to the value of oats. and it would be
not care TO follow the speculative market.
Shippers should not expect too much. We
have no words to add today.
Rye-ReceiptS LILO; shipments, $50 bu;
was quoted nominally at 5S@1G9c for No. 2f
O. b. Rye is weakening in Eastern markets
because of receipts of the new crop. and will
no doubt be reflected here in day or two.
Feed-Millers held at SIS 256l15.50 per ton:
less than car lots Sl6mIT with corpmeol
at $14. ISOLATE.
Hay-Receipts,' S5 tons; shipments, none
The market is fairly steady, with good de-
mand tor good new hay Sales of upland
range from 81 to SIS per ton, with new tim
othy held at S.. 50@99.
Bran and Shorts-Quoted at IS 1909 for
bran; s.. 2599; % for shorts, and 50. 75@lO for
middlings. Millstuffs are a little frmer.
with much better inquiry.
Flax-Flax sales are based, less freights
on The Chicago market. Chicago flax closed
at 81 .03l2lAI GA.
