ST, PAUL.

WHEAT-The market has shown considerable
strength and prices have been maintained in the
At one mill alone the daily receipts by teams aver
aged 1000 bushels daily, making of the heavi-
| est weeks for business in the line ever known.
Prices are now up to good fair point and this,
together with the fact that ahere is no farm work
progressing leads farmers haul freely, especially
while country roads hold good. Rail receipts have
been light, but are increasing though showing
mostly ordinary quality of wheat. The board Of
trade market has been firm, with small advance
In prices, and closing with easier tendency, with
buyers more choice in their selection Of grades.
The demand is steady, so that if sellers should
make the slightest concessions from current quota
tons, all stocks would be readily taken. Specula-
ton is not quite active in the futures, yet suc
entity confident to make bids daily. Prices now
little lower in bids than week ago, both spot and
futures, following Eastern markets. These are
liable to be ctuating, but in the main, will prob
ably maintain values, as the supply of good wheat
in Western farmers hands is probably less than
previously anticipated Closing quotations: No.

WHEAT-This market opened a week ago al
ST. IL for No. hard and closed yesterday at
81. 10le for spot, showing general decline OF ll1c
for the week The other grades and the samples
fell of about the same as No. hard While this
weakness has prevailed hers there has been some
ease in the market at other places. Yesterday,
however, outside points regained the loss for the
week and closed at the highest reached on tho
1t is not unreasonable TO conclude. therefore, that
local prices. stimulated by yesterdays frmness in
the lake markets, will advance to the price Of
week ago. The cause assigned for easy prices here
is the refusal of local mlers to follow up the ad
vance: 5 cars of No. 1 hard sold yesterday at
$1.11h for March delivery. 1t was offered for
