The demand for futures was slack,
and while prices advanced nearly &c in
a few minutes after the opening, the de-
mand was no greater than at the start.
Ii that indicated anything it was that
there was very little short interest in
the market unprovided for. Futures
were dull with the opening price of May
at about ,$1.l11s@1.1l3l, and rose to
slips. calculating little during the
next two hours between S1.12 and
S1.125S. Outside orders were smaller
than usual, and the local crowd showed
little disposition to put out any liberal
lines on either side. The rise that cut
down milling orders from. other states
had something to do with the slackness
of buyers of futures. and the late rise is
too fresh in the minds of. scalpers to-
leave them feeling safe Oh the short
side. The close was fairly steady at
S1.123s for May. The following are the
closing quotations. No. l Hard-Feb-

But little inquiry existed for milling
wheat at the opening and sellers were
asking about yesterdays figures for
kets had moved up about 1c. BUYERS
took hold little better and trading at
one time was fairly active. Local mil-
lers were looking for the best lots of 1
northern and some fair lots of No. 2
went to that class of buyers. A few or
ders for outside points were being filed
but the demand from this source was
light. Receipts for the twenty-four
hours were 16S ears and sixty-fve were
shipped out. Duluth had thirty-three
