MINNEAPOLIS.
Chamber ofComlnerce.

Wheat was very greatly unsettled. The
late position of seeding caused natural rise
in the price of wheat To that natural rise
was added further advance, caused by
shorts buying. Yesterday morning there
was drop from the extreme point reached.
Then another advance followed and subse-
quent fluctuations as trade drifted 10 one
side or the other. Gables showed some Ell
cOuragement, with improved buying, al
though prices were steady. The snow and
rain, it was thought would delay COM
pletion of seeding in the north at least
n week loLger than had been expected.
The market for cash wheat was slow on all
classes Buyers lost confidence when the
market began to break on futures. This oc-
CURED so early in the day that less sales were
made than usual. At the opening few sales
of No. northern were made at S5c, deliv-
cred. Later the same class Of wheat sold
