MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Fairly Active Trade In Grain With
Prices Strong

There was fairly good trade in speculative
wheat with prices at one time about where
they closed Friday, but closing little lower
The opening was lower by selling on the loca
trade, to realize on previous purchases and
the market appeared weak for a time, but
with strong foreign report there occurred
q reaction which advanced the price back
to about Fridays closing point. Then on
some selling before the close the price was
REDUCED to below the opening price. Clear
ances from the Atlantic coast for the week
were large. There was a rather unsatisfac-
tory wheat market at decline in prices
and falling off in the demand for the
lower grades which now constitute greater
proportion Of the receipts than the case
week or SO ago. Premiums for contract
grades are unchanged.
