MINNEAPOLIS, Aug 2.-There was but lit
tie inquiry for cash wheat at the opening, and
during the first half OF the session the sales az.
gregated but few cars. mostly TO local millers.
There were q few outside millers in the market,
but they were not IN the buying mood, and even
reduced prices did not tempt them. The light
receipts posted on the board had no terrors for
buyers, as the supply in local elevators has not
yet been exhausted. Some local millers were
picking up few cars of No. and No 2, but
only for immediate consumption Receipts AZ
