DULUTn. Mimi. Dee. 10 - The market
opened 4c lower this morning. For May
delivery ii was duh ana weak and prices de
clined S4c more on slow and small business.
Cash was extremely dull and had tendency
for widening of the difference between
the cash price and May delivery until fair
carrying charges can be secured. The differ
ence heretofore ruling of 4s46I5c between
cash and MAY, offered no inducement to car
riers To take spot stuff. A year ago at this
time May commanded Il premium over spot
wheat in this market of 7SSdSc per bushel,
which gave 10 the capitalist fair interest
for his money. Could present values be al
justed 10 about that basis il no doubt
would tend 10 largely increase the stock
in store and naturally increase the
volume Of trading. The close was
quiet ana easy with sellers OF whole list at
inside prices, and sIc of from opening quo
