MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 6.-Receipts of wheat
for the day were 144 cars; shipments, % cars.
There was a good demand for milling wheat at
the opening, but before it was all taken the de-
mand ceased, apparently because futures de-
clined. Millers aud other buyers held back for
concessions, and after the middle of the session
the market dragged badly. There was some low
grade wheat ON band that holders We're unable
TO dispose OF, and that sort that was considered
among the poorest would not sell at any re-
spectacle price. Closing quotations.: No. / hard.
