MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS,
Fluctuations Quite Marked i'm Grain
Pits.


The market opened in hesitating manner.
The news was mixed, but the market was
apparently of one kind The pit traders
called it 'whipsaw market" The fluctu-
ations were within narrow limits but they
were rapid. The opening price here was
around &c for May, and after a little stead
mess break occurred which brought the
price down to &C. Then followed rapid fiuc-
tuations between 62 and 621Ac The demand
for cash wheat was a little mixed. The mills
were less inclined to buy and the elevators
were not so anxious has been apparent
for day or two past. The general senti-
ment is that the market for futures is more
or less strained and conditions are unnat-
ural Receipts of wheat were 301 cars; ship
ments of wheat were 131 cars. Duluth re-
ceipts of wheat were 213 cars. Flour output
