were fairly supported with accumu-
lated supplies and buyers were ind!f-
terent except for Immediate use.
Minneapolis receipts were IS cars,
against i4l cars in the same time Of
the previous year. Shipments were
not active but reached SO car loads

The receipts Of corn in MINNEAPOLIS
in the present crop season is largely
reduced below the arrivals one Tear
ago and are under 5000 900 bushels
against about s.01o,000 bushels up To-
This time last year. A leading cause
ior the smaller receipts is brought
about by the extended demand for the
use Of corn on the farm for feeding
purposes. The production in Mime.
sofa and the Dakotas was larger than
In previous years but for the reason
stated the farm demand was a greater
consumer than before, which cur
down the merchantable supply. Corn
Is late this year as the planting Of II
vas greatly delayed by un~suttable
weather for planting. with much care
IN selecting seed a fair crop is vet
hoped for. "
