MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Dull Trading in Grain of All Kind.

Dull Trading in Grain of All Kinds.
There was very dull trade in speculative
wheat, with prices ruling within a narrow
range. The opening was at about Fridays
closlng point, and the market did not move
more than a quarter of a cent from that
during the session.
There was good demand for cash wheat
on the basis Of old prices. Trade, however,
was small, owing to light offerings. The
line companies are selling little or no old
wheat and private houses holding wheat are
not disposed to sell at ruling values. New
wheat is not offering freely, owing to the
fact that people in the interior prefer letting
1t come in and be sold on spot as it arrives
to selling large quantities at these prices, in
anticipation of receipts at their houses from
the farmers wagons.
