MINNEAPoLIs-There was a frmer tone to
the cash wheat market from the start although
the buying was anything but active the first
half of the session. The blackboard showed
a liberal movement both in and out of the city-
and buyers appeared unconcerned as to the
supply. Early sales were scattering but prices
paid were Z@1c above the last prices of yes
terday. Some shipping inquiry was apparent
toward noon, and local millers began taking
small quantities of the best samples of No. /

ceipts for the day here were sos cars, and l55
