MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 1s.-The market
responded to the little advance, and at
1l:30 o'clock reached 92c. From that time
TO the close there was steadily advancing
market. May opened at 9la4c. and fell isc.
then recovered lac. and for over en- hour
the market held without greater fluctua-
tions than lsc. Then the heavy buying in
Chicago advanced the price to SIC, aided
by stronger cables. Then San Francisco
this helped out the close materially. The
closing prices were 92l9c for May, S6i3c for
December and seize for January. Cash
wheat was quiet and active. and large
