MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Wheat Pit Panfclxy and Prices Much
Lower.

There was small-sized panic in the wheat
market at the opening yesterday morning.
Curb trading lowered the price to around
TIC for December Wednesday night, and
with lower cables there was a large guam
tity of wheat for sale. The first trade was
made at about 115c under the last trade Of
Wednesday and the price rapidly fell off
to 70Ac This is exactly Sc under the high
point reached last Monday; morning. Buying
then set in and the price was gradually
worked. Liverpool lost 315d for the day
1t is reported that better supply of money
was available yesterday than was the case
Wednesday, and the market for the cash
article was in consequence more satisfactory
for the selling side On the big break buy
ers tried to get the contract grade at 4c
under December, but were unsuccessful in
the main and then raised their bids to 31ac
they began bidding &c under December that
any large movement resulted. Sales at that
figure are reported to have been large, and
a good deal of it was resold from Wednes-
days market. The market was panicky
throughout. Buyers being more or less in
