MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Higher Cables Aided In Strengthen
ing the Wheat Pit.

Cables came higher yesterday and proved
surprise to the crowd, after Thursdays
decline. This caused holders to ask high
prices at the opening, and the first trade
was made at about 1sc advance, but that
price met enough selling to lower the value
more than 1ac,-when buying started in and
carried the price up about 1sc above the
opening. The market then settled to about
Thursdays closing point, and then advanced
to about Zee aboveglast trade of Thursday.
New sources of money supply have~been
found, and the wheat buyers in cash wheat
were feeling little better yesterday. This,
together with the fact that offerings of wheat
both on spot and to arrive are falling off
good deal, has tended to strengthen the feel
ing, and there vas, less indisposition the
part of buyers. They started in by bidding
1Ac under December for the contract grade.
and in not a few cases the difference was
narrowed to an-even cent, but the bulk of
the wheat sold was at the regular bid price
