MINNEAPOLIS, March r.-Receipts Of
wheat to-day were 271 cars; shipments, %
cars. The demand was good and the track
offerings were all sold out at about lt2c
above the May price, and about &c above
the July price. Sales 10 arrive were not
large, less than 80 cars being disposed of
in that way. 1t is understood to-day that
there will be considerable decrease in the
country elevator stocks on Mondays re-
ports. Farmers are marketing lightly, and
with the favorable weather are getting their
ground and grain in condition for spring
seeding. If the weather continues as it
is now ii is thought considerable wheat will
be soon on dry ground next week. In that
ton will be smaller: May wheat opened at
