MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Slight Cold Wave Caused BuIIixh-
ness In Wheat,

There was lively trade in May wheat and
prices showed good advance. The opening
was Just about where the market left off yes
terday and the trade was as a general thing
little bearish, owing to the fact that the
promised cold wave did not materialize In
any damage to the winter wheat But cables
came stronger and higher, and at Chicago
some OF the big bears are reported to have
turned bulls. This led to considerable spec
ulat1on and with big cash wheat doing the
price OF March rapidly advanced to 621ac here.
AT tnat point there came large amount of
cash wheat on the market at &C. and the
sales against the purchases of this wheat
checked the advance here, and Chicago went
on up, gaining a quarter Of a cent on the
local market. Later, when the market at
chicago became more quiet, prices here grad
ually worked up to about the usual difference
