MINNEAPOLIS. Jan. s.-There was less wheat
on the sample tables than yesterday, but sellers
were not worried about the scarcity The de-
mand was no better than it has been for the past
four days, and less grain was sold from the SAM
pie tables than on Monday. Time was when a
cent or two advance in speculative wheat would
not stimulate the buyers of cash stuff, but that
failed to work to-day, and at the close the usual
proportion of wheat offered was carried away I'M
sold The total receipts were 81 carloads, and
az carloads were shipped out. Following were
the closing quotations.: No. hard, January,
$1.16la; February, 81 May. 81 %; on track,
