DULUTH, Mimi, Sept. 29.-The strength
of the market developed yesterday proved
short-ived, despite the strong undertone
which seemed 10 exist. Opening figures to-
day were about the same as yesterdays
close. but after a short period of strength,
during which there was an advance of &c
they began to decline under systematic and
heavy selling by big firms. The local export
business is simply nothing just now. Ship
perS report no demand at all. Word was re-
ceived here that Minneapolis had telegraphed
TO Chicago that receipts in the Northwest
would show a large increase from now out
and that by the END of the week Minneapolis
and Duluth would be getting LOCO cars day.
This is undoubtedly what caused the
heavy selling in Chicago, which broke
the market. Local firms received a telegram
of inquiry about noon concerning the rep ort
and replied that it was simply rot. Cash
