MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Dull Trade, With Quotations In
cIined to Weakness.

There was dull, light trade in specula-
tive wheat, with prices inclined to be easy
during the greater part Of the session. The
opening was firm in sympathy with higher
cables and higher prices quoted at other
markets. But the advance found plenty of
wheat for sale, and the market for December
wheat at once declined to around 55c,
around which point it held throughout the
greater part of the session. There was a
good demand for all offerings of wheat of
contract grade. either on spot or to arrive,
but the market for off grades was dull and
more or less depressed. Following are clos
ing prices: No. l hard, track. 55c; No.
