MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.

December wheat opened Saturday at SOc
exactly where it closed Friday, but within a
very few minutes it had dropped to 791ac
| Then began iuctuating market, but con-
stantly reaching a lower level. Selling was
| heavy. both lquidating long wheat and sell
ing short. Buying was of a rather poor
character. News was generally bullish, but
the market failing to respond to this news
caused old traders to believe that there are
two sides to the market at these prices. Liv-
erpool wheat closed u lower; corn u lower
There was a good demand for cash wheat
but on the lower grades there appeared little
reluctance on the part of buyers. The reg
ular price for the contract grade was at a cent
premium 1aafnsl over over DECEMBER: Following are the
