MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Good Selling of Wheat Caused by the
Advance.

There was an active market for May wheat
Saturday. with prices reaching the highest
point thus far on the bulge The opening
price was higher by about a cent than Fri
days close, and after little sparring around
Gle the bulls took the market in their own
hands, and before many minutes were passed
the price had reached 61Bc There was pretty
good selling on every fractional advance but
at no time after the first rally did the price
get below the 611ac mark. Millers attempted
to widen the difference between spot and May
but as few of the elevators that have some
little available storage room came into the
market to pick up what they wanted, there
developed enough competition to hold the diff
ference at the regular point of 20.
