MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Big slump in Both Cash and Decem-
Der Wheat.

Cables came higher, but the cash wheat
situation is right now claiming and receiv-
ing attention Of the trade. The receipts OF
late have been so large that much remains
in the yards here waiting to be unloaded
and the spread to &c in the difference be-
tween the cash article and December wheat
naturally looks wide to prospective buyers
of the future. The opening was lower by
more than cent and Immediately fell to
around 74c for December wheat After that
the market fiuctuated between "a and 7434c.
The features (which have been gaining
prominence in the cash wheat market here
were still further developed yesterday with
the difference betwRen the cash article of
contract grade and December prices for it
fully &c per bu.v Late Tuesday buyers were
pressed to take cash wheat to arrive at &c
under December, but generally refused to
buy. Yesterday the opening price was at
about 41Ac under December, but soon fell
to sc under that future. The elevator people
have found it difficult to get money, with
which to put up margins on hedges already
wheat is now Offering for sale. The mills,
of course, are profting by this condition,
as they generally haYe to pay nearly Decem-
