MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Heaviness in Grain Trading and
Light Receipts.

On higher cables at the opening the first
trades in May. wheat were at good advance
over Saturdays close. But there was heavy
feeling soon developed, and prices sank under
the influence of large offerings. There was
something of surprise among traders when
the receipts here for two days were posted at
400 cars. That is not far from what they have
been running all along for a single day. 1t
was ascertained that the usual amount was
received at the head of the lakes, and it is
found that more than 800 cars will show up
tomorrow in the receipts at that point. Fol-
