MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Bearish Feeling Prevailed in Grain
Pits.

Ihere was quite heavy trade in wheat
futures, with the interest in the wheat for
favor. The May wheat, however, is still the
actlve future. The opening price for the
wheat was about 1sc lower than Saturdays
closing price, and proved the high point.
This was at $3.50. There was enough buying
early to hold the market quite steady at
around that price but with little selling fol-
lowing the market soon got through 5Sc and
dropped as low as 575sc then followed
slightly better tone, and with some shorts
covering the market sold up to around 5Sc
