MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Sharp Upturn In Wheat Surprised
Bears.

There was another surprise in store for
traders yesterday, when, contrary to all eX-
pectat1ons, there occurred sharp upturn in
wheat Yesterday afternoon there came
Hood OF bear news on the market and the SEN
timent was turned from one of bullishness to
one OF decided bearishness. The millers again
set the pace at little ahead of the elevators
and began picking up No. northern spot
wheat yesterday at half-cent under the May
price. Early in the day, before the opening,
when the price of May was expected to drop
off in sympathy with the lower and Indifferent
cables, receivers of cash wheat expected to be
able to get premium in consequence of the
decline, and were confident that they would do
so, but with sharp advance in May at the
opening, millers placed the price at above diff
ference, and as that is more narrow differ
ence than the elevators care to take wheat at
under the present conditions, the millers had
things pretty much their own way. Receipts
of wheat were 265 cars Shipments of wheat
were SO cars. Duluth receipts of wheat were
161 cars. Flour output week ending Feb. g..
