MARKET LETTER.

The following market letter is fur
nished by Edwards, Wood & Co.,
Commission Merchants, 10 Chamber
of Commerce, Minneapolis. $40 Board
of Trade, Duluth.
Last weeks wheat market was
active and strong, and the Mime
apolls wheat made a net gain of 1915
cents per bushel. The price rests
upon the broad and sure foundation
of a large and steady home and foreign
demand. Wheat continues to go out
to Australia from both American
coasts and shipments Of -four from the
Pacific coast to South Africa are good.
Exports for the week were 8, 761, 900
bushels, but the foreign demand is
better shown by sales for export which
were very large. The eagerness of
foreigners for American wheat is
partially explained by the closing of
navigation of Danubian ports and the
falling off of the exports from these
countries. Our domestic visible sup
ply gained 2,211,O 600 bushels for the
week but continues to drop under last
years figures. Two weeks ago the
difference was 1000, 900 bushels, a
week ago, 1000, 900 bushels, and the
visible supply is now II, 900, 600
bushels under the amount at this time
last year; the indications are strong
that it has reached the maxium for
the year. Receipts of all grains at
primary points last week were 10, SAB, :
900 bushels, the lightest in two months
and IA per cent less than the previous
week, and 10 per cent under last
year. The decrease was mostly in
wheat and oats as receipts of corn in.
creased $780, 90 bushels. Worlds
shipments boards fgures) we're six
and a half million bushels compared
with 1850, 900 for the week before,
and 2, 095, 900 bushels a year ago. The
amount on passage decreased 2. $50, 600
bushels following a decrease Of 30, 3d.
600 bushels the week before. The
English visible supply increased $685.
600 bushels compared with an increase
of SO, 900 bushels last year. The
Liverpool market has been very firm,
said to be on account of small receipts
there which were last week 24O, 600
bushels with %, 900 bushels estimate
for this week. whereas weakly re-
quirements are about 70, 5000 bushels.
We confidently expect to see higher
prices for May wheat and therefore
favor the buying side.

largely attended and enjoyed more
than the ball. Everything worked
harmoniously and everybody was
highly pleased. The Odd Fellows
