Duluth Grain.

DULUTH, Mimi, June 4.-The wheat
market opened heve strong and nc
higher than Saturdays close, the
strength being manly due to the big
decrease in the visible. supply in this
country and more encouraging cables.
Prices held steady throughout the
morning, with trading about equally
divided between. July and September,
with good trading in cash stuff. The
mills took considerable quantities of
wheat, to arrive, at 11Sc premium over
July. and also large amount out of
store. aud it was the best business in
cash wheat for many days. Shortly
after noon the market showed signs Of
weakness, and eased eff, closing &c
higher than Saturday for cash and JULY.
