MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Greater Activity Than Has bee,
Displayed for Weeks.


Displayed for Weeks.
There was more action in the wheat pit
yesterday than has occurred for weeks. While
the fluctuations were not wide they were
rapid. At the opening, on the strength Of the
cold wave, there was buying enough de-
yeloped to put the price of May up a quarter
Of cent, but then followed such selling as
the pit has not experienced for some time and
traders began to drift around the outside
when there came g. wave of buying on the
Chicago market which advanced the price
down there about cent, and this market
followed, but in the advance lost about a
quarter of "a cent compared with" Chicago.
There was 20 news to affect the market
either way and the fluctuations were simply
the result Of the drift of trade. There was
quite an active cash trade, with the price of
No northern touching May price. Receipts
of wheat were 265 cars. Shipments of wheat
