MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
BuI1ish Day in Grain-Good Demand
for Cash Wheat

The most active day in wheat markets that
has been experienced in long time was re-
ported for Saturday The opening was higher
In sympathy with higher markets abroad and
with big export demand at the seaboard the
American markets took on enough strength
to continue the advance about up to the
close. Shorts were covering lines at Chicago,
which added strength to the market and the
higher prices went, the more Of this wheat
there was to be bought back. The news OF
the day was of the same bullish color that
has characterized it all along. There was a
good demand for cash wheat at the same
premiums that were in effect Friday. The

CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-Wheat furnished a
disagreeable surprise today to the bear ele-

to depress prices. Big advances in foreign
markets and small Argentine shipments
caused Steady advance. September closing

were weak, and closed Mc lower Provisions
are practically unchanged. The foreign de-
mand for wheat was very much in evidence.
Acceptances from abroad were supported by
the strength of foreign markets. and a strong
START to the Chicago market was the result.
September was Immediately wanted at from
561sc to 56$sc, an advance of about &c. One
commission firm here that had its cable offers
OF wheat of the night before accepted, had,
In addition to that, foreign buying orders
for 250 900 bushels December and executed
them at the buying price. Resumption of the
foreign demand. with the good clearances and
engagements at the seaboard were all encour-
aging to holders, and stimulated speculative
buying and covering by shorts. The Argen-
tine shipments for the week were only 1000
blu, against $4,000 blu the week before and
the Northwestern advices continued to tell
OF lowering estimates of the crop there. The
strength at the beginning of the session was
added to as the day wore. The price of Sep
TENDER was quickly advanced to 5634c, but
declined again to $3.50, and was hanging
around the latter price when the closing
cablegrams were received and it was found
that Berlin had advanced the equivalent of
from 17sc to 2Ac per bushel. This stimulated
renewed activity, and prices rose in hurry.

maintained to the close Corn was too much
depressed by the continued favorable weather
for the crop to catch any enthusiasm from
the rise in wheat The undertone was weak,
although in the end September closed &c
higher than it did yesterday. September
opened a shade higher at 22M623c sold at
227sc and at 2Sc, and closed steady at the
latter figure. Oats opened steady. Later,
however, the weakness and lower prices in
cash oats extended into the speculative crowd,
and liquidation In September was free. Dur
ing the last hour the advance In wheat stimu-
lated prices, and the market recovered some
of the decline. Spot opened 17Ac, sold down
to 16%c, and closed easy at 1879. Pro-
visions were heavy until late in the session.

Midway Horse Market.

Barrett & Zimmerman's Report-The mar
ket this week has shown signs of improve
ment, and from this on we confidently look
for heavier receipts, larger sales and more
encouragement for shippers to make consign-
ment of their horses to this market. During
the past week more outside dealers were look
ers and bought more freely than for some
time. Many farmers were here in person and
bought one or two pairs each. Local dealers
took most Of the choice drivers at fair prices.
Farm stock Is most I'M demand. The supply
of really choice drafters is limited and those
received sold readily around top quotations.
During the next few, days special effort will
be made to dispose of the stock hand, to
make room for the entries to be received for
the gre : com lniti.n s,le, to take place the
