MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Wheat Steadily Declined and Closed
MT Lowest Prices.

The wheat market held steady on it's decline
yesterday, opening prices being highest and
closing prices being lowest for the day. The
feature was the Bradstreet report which
showed decrease in the worlds visible sup
ply of wheat of only $4,000 blu, against esti-
mates yesterday of 800, 600 bu decrease. This
was not the first cause of weakness, however,
but it assisted the break after it's announce
ment There is but little to say about the
market outside of this. The weakness was
charged up in the main to Armour, who has
withdrawn his support.
May wheat opened at 595sc and broke to
5S$ac, closing at 5SSc. July closed at 602sc.
Receipts of wheat here were 222 cars, and at
Duluth and Superior, 1874 cars, against 81 and
81 cars year ago.
