MlNNEAPoLis-The demand for spot wheat
WAS brisk to-day, and there was also good re-
quest for good milling wheat to arrive. Con-
siderable No. Northern sold to arrive at near
the price Of spot grain. The receipts continued
small and shipments full. which left only 81
cars more that arrived than that departed
That feature created some uneasness among
millers, and they bought as literally as the
character of offerings would admit of; pur-
chases to be shipped to outside mills made
demand too large to be supplied by the light ar
rivals. Low grades went fairly. Closing quo
