Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce,
I September 5.-Much wheat on sale and
the most active cash market of the new
crop season were features today. Open
ing rather steady after the two-day
i holiday, the market met the pressure of
/ an accumulation of stuff, and stood it
well. Cash wheat was lower in price.
but hardly lower relative to the option.
No. l northern sold from S5c to SIC on
much Of the early business, with occa-
sional sales of choice lots up to Soc. No.
2 northern was down to SOC for some
lots, with range up to SIC for choice.
On the whole the cash stuff did better
than might have been expected under
the circumstances. The trade found
plenty of wheat in sight, for not only
& did the Minneapolis total look up, but
the southwest ran over, Indicating that
the dropping off of the winter wheat
movement is not yet in sight. Three
Gays receipts brought s3S cars into
nneapolis, an excess of 1873 over the
days of last year. Chicago fell off a
little, with III against l59 and Duluth
got 81 against 1919. St. Louis got $780,
900 bushels against 900, and Kansas
City 81 900 against 69l, 900. Winnipeg
had 20 cars against 10.
Gl Nothing appeared in the weather out
5llook to cause uneasiness, but, on the
4 contrary, everything was favorable.

acres in his vicinity, and thousands of
