MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Very Little Doing in the Cereal
Pits.

The extreme dullness of trading was prob
ably the most potent reason why September
wheat did not make substantial gain. There
was bull news Of strong character, such
as the Missouri state crop report, which
claimed that this years yield in that state
will show deficiency of S8,000,000 bushels
against last years figures. Another item OF
interest to those who look for an advance
was the visible supply which claimed de-
crease of 408 coo bushels. The market can
be said to have sunk under its own weight
until the last hour of trading, when a trihe
over an 1sc was gained from the opening
price. Other favorable news was to the ef-
feet that bids for wheat from foreigners are
more numerous, and reports of good clear
ances from New York were also factor
News from the Northwest was of favorable
import to the bears, as the weather generally
continues fair.
