MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Weakness In Grain Quotations
Quite Marked Early

There a light trade in speculative wheat
with very narrow range of price the result.
The opening was shade lower in sympathy
with lower cables, and there was natural
disposition to sell out wheat bought last
week when it became evident that new trade
was not coming IN this week to support the
market at the advanced gained then. The
price gradually sagged off to point half
cent below Saturdays close before much buy
Ing began. At that point there became a
slightly stronger sentiment and the market
advanced to a point equal to the point of
the last trade last week.
Towards the close On fresh liqutdatons De-
cember wheat declined again to around sec.
The wide disparity of values between the
local market and at the head of the lakes
still creates a new feature to the cash wheat
market. Much of the goods arriving here are
shipped out to other points, and freight rates
are SO made as to assist in this sort OF con-
dition The local elevators are loading out
wheat to local millers on terms favorable for
the latter and the consequence is that this
demand is not active In competition with out
side call. e-ze-g.
