MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Decentralization and New Low Prices
for Wheat.

There was great decentralization at the OPEN
ing yesterday and September wheat sold down
to the unprecedentedly low point of 1880. But
stocks took on strength in New York, foreign
ers began to buy out wheat and the money
market showed signs of recovery in the fact
that the spread between December and Sep
TENDER began to narrow at Chicago, and all
these things started shorts covering and the
price appreciated more than a cent before the
advance ceased, running the market up near
" cent before the close Of Wednesday.
wednesdays inspection showed ten cars of
new wheat This stock is fully up to the
standard in quality and considerably better
than that which usually starts the movements
In the fall. There is beginning to develop
quite an interest in the new wheat. Sales to
arrive We're made today quite freely on the
basis OF September price for the contract
grade.
