MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Bull Trade at Slightly Lower Quo
tatiOns for Grain.

There was a small trade in wreat futures
at prices generally little below the closing
point on Saturday On reported larger world S
shipments last week the market opened a lit
tie lower, but found quite little buying by
holders of puts and by the short interest. This
brought rally to a point about Ac over Sat-
urday's closing. Then liquidation set in with
little wheat apparently wanted and the price
settled to point somewhat below the open
ing. The crop news was bulIish as ever but
receipts at Chicago are increasing and Sep
TENDER liquidation is the ruling factor. The
visible supply again showed a decrease of
about half million. The proportion of new
wheat in the receipts at this point is still
showing fair increase although not so
large as would be if prices were higher This
new wheat is thus far showing remarkably
high grades. About a third of 1t grades No. /
northern. while about half grades No. 2
northern. The balance is divided between
No. and rejected, with practically nothing
so far grading mo grade
