MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 25.-The day on
Change was rather quiet one, orders from
outside being relatively scarce, with local
traders not disposed TO do much for present,
and appearing TO be quite mixed as to the
possible near future The news of the day
was rather meager, as is usual on Satur-
day, and the gossip generally unimportant.
The chief feature of the market from the
start was weakness, with actual trading near
the zero point. The trade, as a whole, is at
sea- Every condition in the light Of former
experience is strongly in favor of higher
prices. There is, however total lack of
speculative interest shown, and will con-
tinue to be so till cash wheat fails to sell at
a premium.
December wheat opened at SS%c, against
S91hc yesterday, lost 1sc, irmed up to S9c,
dropped to SS4c, firmed UP to SSas@SS1kc, de-
c.ined to SS1sc, gained &c, lost 1sc, frmed up
to SS2s@SS1Ac, lost Ac, sold at SS1hc, declined
to SSlhc firmed up to SS1ac, lost Ac by 11:45,
and closed at SS14c. The cash wheat mar
ket was very slow, as is usual on a Saturday.
Increased offerings also depressed the mar
ket. No northern sold at 11ac premium
over December, the same as yesterday, but
No. northern was very hard to move ex-
cept at material concessions. Lower grades
were extremely dull; in fact, the heaviest day
of the season. At the closing hour there re-
mained large quantities of low grades un-

CHICAGO, Sept. 25-All the grain mar
kets suffered today as the result of heavy
receipts and general neglect. Wheat de-
clined 11s@1Ac, corn 1c, and oats A@%c.
Provisions still suffering from yellow
fever, closing prices showing 5@71sc declines.
There was considerable difference of opinion
at the opening of regular trading in wheat
regarding the proper direction for the mar
ket to take. December, which closed yes
terday at 92h@925sc, ranged all the way
from 925@921ac at the start with the bulk
of the trades at 2A@92asc. After holding
at around the latter figure for few min
utes the market began to yield gradually,
and in the course of little half an
hour it had got down to 91hc. The heavi-
ness of local and Northwest receipts was in
the main responsible for the decline. Min
neapoiis and Duluth reported a total of 1885
cars, against 95S the corresponding day of the
year before. Chicago received 241 cars, Of
which 20 were No. 2 spring which is de-
liverable upon contracts up to Oct /, and
not subsequent to that date. Only five car
loads of wheat deliverable upon December
contracts were received this week. This re-
deeming feature was paid no attention to,
however. Liverpool quotations were un-
changed, but private advces said the mar
ket was weak, and reported heavy offerings
from Black sea ports. Antwerp reported
prices the same as the day before. Paris
noted a decline of 10 centimes for September
wheat, and the remote futures without
change. The days clearances, wheat and
-four, from Atlantic ports were equal to $780,
coo bu. New York reported good export
business in wheat en- the break and called
the quantity placed for shipment so boat
loads or 100000 bu. Prices recovered some
what on this, December advancing to 9lAW
91%c but the market weakened again later,
gradually declining to 91c. Trading during
the decline was intensely dull, this in itself
being a weakening factor. The figures on
export business were disputed by well in
formed persons, who placed the new busl-
ness at only five boatloads. The weeks ship
ments of wheat and -four from both coasts,
as given by Bradstreet's, was 5,623,493 bu,
against 6,2S9, 949 blu the week before. Beer
bohm's estimated the weeks shipments from
ali ports to Europe for the week at 5000, ,oct
bu Eighty Fer cent of the wheat around
Fargo, N D., was reported to have been
already marketed. During the last hour OF
the session the market improved somewhat
on covering by shorts. December advanced
to S13sc, where it Closed.
Germ was exceedingly weak all day, with
heavy commission house selling. December
ranged from 301b@2S1ac, closing 1c lower at
295kc. Cats were weak in sympathy. pc
cember ranged between 20s4c and l91sc, CLOS
