MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Steady and Strong Demand for
Grain.

The opening was steady and the market
held around opening price during the first
half hour of the session, when cables turned
dearer and cash inquiry showed up in
many of the markets. Buying became gen.
eral and with still higher cables to sup
port them, buyers took hold in good shape,
running the price UP about a half cent. At
every advance there was some selling but
at no time was there enough to materially
check the steady and persistent advance.
There was a very sharp demand for con-
tract grade and all offerings were cleaned
up early in the session. The supply Of con-
tract grade Is not large enough, while there
appears to be a surplus of the lower quail
ties. Money appears a little easier but at
the same time appears able to get
in the quantities desired. The regular price
for the contract grade was n to 1ac under
December prices Later all the offerings were
taken at 12c under that future.
