MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Sharp Break Early, Followed by
Slight Weakness

There was a sharp break at the opening
yesterday, with December selling down be-
low 78c. But good buying soon developed
and the price rapidly advanced to around
79c, when selling set in, which soon reduced
the price of that future to around TIC. On
the whole, it was one Of the more active days
on the crop and the fluctuations were wide
and rapid. The news of the day was mixed
but inclined toward the bear SIDE
Offerings of wheat were large and the de-
mand appears to have slackened up a good
deal. Buyers are beginning to feel that there
will be wheat enough and that storage room
will finally be worth something Elevators
are, as consequence, buying their wheat on
better terms. Today the regular price paid
was on the basis of &c premium for Ne.
