The wheat market opened firm in the line
of futures, at Saturdays closing price for
May. The market was subsequently weaker
and sold down to 1850, but later, on fiuctua-
tons at other places and good demand here,
there was an advance to .Ssl@7s7sc with a
large demand at 1SS4c. The visir lie supply
of wheat decreased $4,000 bu. The special
cause of the decline was the Government
report, that it was rumored would
in the winter wheat prospect and
2 per cent increase in acreage. above
last year at this time. Some parties buying
early were dishearlened by the report, and in
selling out broke prices about 14c below the
opening. The feeling on the part Of shorts
was evidently nervous, and on the smallest
indication of an advance they would Jump
i'll and buy back. Early cables were dull in
tone and generally easier, and later ones said
holders of wheat and corn were anxious
sellers. Following are the closing quotations:

Receipts of wheat for the two days includ-
ing Sunday, were 204 cars: shipments. So
cars. The arrivals at Duluth were 10 cars.
m1llers were i'll from outside points, in per-
son, looking after purchases. These buyers,
with some commission orders, made the com =
petition sharp for good milling wheat, and all
the receipts suitable for their purpose were
taken early at full prices that averaged as
high as Saturday, that market being little af-
fected by the weakness and fiuctuatIng char
acter OF futures. Low g AIDES were slow, and
though the amount offered was small, some
of them hung on until late in the day before
they were taken up, The feeling in the mar
ket for low grades was dull, and buyers COM
planned thBt they could see no profit in them
at the price.
