Wheat sleepy today.

Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce, Aug. d.
Despite the cooler spell and the lower tenn
peratures over Sunday no frost appeared In the
northwest. One spot showed 80 degrees for
low, which enough to make the fax trade
nervous and the wheat men interested, but moth
ing damaging appeared anywhere. The old news
however, referring to damage done by the re-
cent hot weather, began to come In again.
North Dakota, from all accounts, got pinch IN
the high temperatures The rains that followed
were unfavorable. More bad weather would
no doubt stir up the trade, but the market was
easy this morning, soon as the forecast had
been marked up, for fair weather and some
what higher temperatures are to come. The
market was dull, but not weak. The pressure OF
hedging and made prices Waver, but
the UNDERGONE firm. Local elevator stocks,
having fallen off by 1,40O, 600 bu last week,
decreased $4,000 bu more over Saturday and
Sunday. Only t>s came in here against
1893 year agO and comparisons elsewhere
were light, Chicago IS and 81 Duluth and %,
Winnipeg 40 and 12 st. Louis $4,000 bu and
125, 900, Kansas City 900 and 100000. D..
Total worlds shipments of breadstuffs during
the past week 9344 900 bu against 9,16S,00O the
previous week and &c, 1873, 900 year ago. The
quantity OF breadstuffs shipped for ORDERS in"
pared with 100000 in the previous week and
l,536,oOO year ago. The total Of wheat taken
by continental countries the past week was
1896 900 against 4,312, 900 in the previous week.
