M1NNEAPoLIs-Raceipts of wheat for the
past "a hours were Oil cars, with shipments of
80 cars. The early demand for cash wheat
from the sample, was slow and came princi-
pally from local millers. Still the days bus-
ness aggregated quite large. and was called
fairly satisfactory by most dealers. Prices OBJ
tanned were little higher than those of yester-
day for similar grades. due more to the better
tone reported from outside markets than to
any activity in the general demand, excepting |
from home milers, who bought quite freely a |
portion of the day. Closed quotations.: No. |
