MINNEAPOLIS-There was fair call for spot
wheat to-day, and in the bulk of business the
figures showed a lower average, though with
about the same general range. Buying was by
the different classes of buyers that are usually
in the market. Local milIers were the most
prominent ill the buying, with shippers and
local elevator people in the market There was
some frosted wheat with No. 3 inspection that
was hard to sell at any fair price. but milling
wheat went well at the figures it would bring.
