MINNEAPOLIS WHEAT MARKER

QQAlfy MA hhUl Es
& MINNEAPOLIS WHEAT MARKET.
Wheat-A1l foreign cables this morning
were lower and most OF the news items to-
day have been bearish In tone. The mar
kat = In q nut and it will take some very
strong news one way or the other to get
It out of this rut. Outsiders are not. doing
anything and scalpers are running the
pit for fractional scalp. The range to-
day was but &c UP to II o'clock, ana dead
dull at that time. the pit being almost ems
tirely deserted. September wheat opened
at SIC. against 53Ac, closing price Friday;
advanced hc and then sold down to 5211c,
rallyinG back to 52X on buying against
puts. There does not seem to be any hope
IN the situation to put wheat up at pres
ent. and 1t is liable to sag lower In the
absence Of any buying and the weight Of
long wheat coming out from time to time.

part OF the receipts Of cash wheat are APP

Of the cars being sold to local buyers at
about &c over September, outsiders pay
Ing 1c over September
No. northern to arrive: There was the
usual demand for this wheat to arrive at
Nc over September, but offerings were
small and but little was sold as holders OF
wheat are waiting the outcome OF the
present crop before disposing Of their SUR
plus.
No. 2 northern: This grade still brings
Nc under No. northern. There Is good
demand for all offerings.
No. northern and rejected wheat:
There Is not much of demand for these
grades Of wheat. A good share of the re-
cotptS have more or less frosted wheat in
them and are slow of SALE Most cars of
such wheat are sold to go out, as the out
nders pay better price for such goods.
The better class Of these grades bring &c
under No. l northern.
