MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.

Wheat was higher this morning on more
encouraging news from abroad, with fair
exports from the Atlantic coast. Some
cables quoted Berlin aud Paris weak, while
Liverpool was stronger for most styles of
offerings
The large decrease of 100000 bu in the
visible supply was strong feature, and
there was apprehension that this cold term
may prove destructive TO winter wheat fields
where not protected by SNOW. The increase
IN Northwestfcountry stocks for the week is
202, 100 bu. Private stocks in this city de-
creased $1,000 blu.
CASH WHEAT.
The demand for No. northern wheat was
good at Sic, but slow if hell above that price.
Some sales of thin wheat were made early at
S5l2c. No. 2 wheat sold fairly at S2@S4c,
with the bulk of the sales made around the
bottom price. No3 sold from - to nc with
most lots at !5c. Low grade wheat was

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The added daily output of the mills
grinding yesterday will probably aggregate
21,0OO bbls Shipments, 34,979 bbls. Quoted
at S4.30@1465 for first patents; "a. l50i.3O for
port bakers; Sl.75@l2.75 for low grades in
bags, including red dog.
Flour sold rather better, due. it is pre-
ssumed, to higher prices for wheat in the last
days of the past week. 1t does not appear
thas there is any hesiancy in buying flour
only to guard against paying more for it than
its just value compared with the price it will
bring when resold by the retailer or jobber

$50 bu.; quoted at 29@29Isc for No. white;
