Minneapolis-May wheat sold to-day at
69Hc. The feeling was very weak ana this
market was relatively weaker than CHICAGO.
The difference at the close had widened
half cent for the day. The Chicago crowd
was on tile bear side. There was talk OF
another big increase in the visible supply on
Monday and this started selling. There
was considerable long wheat dumped on the
Minneapolis market at the opening, which
caused a weakness here that held we'll
throughout the session. Some OF this wheat
was bought back later, though, and the buy
ing at the close brought the market around
TO the opening price. May wheat opened at
701Sc, and closed at the same price after
a short time; December opened at 64sIc, and
closed at 641c; there was good demand for
