MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Fair Activity Hut Some Weakness
Shown I'm Grain.

There was fairly active marketin specula-
tive wheat. The opening was lower on ac-
count OF pressure to sell by discouraged
holders who withstood previous declines, and
"a big failure in New York helped the ten
dency to liquidate. Under these influences
the market sold off nearly cent from Tues
DAY close, but large clearances brought some
OF these sellers back as buyers and the loss
was recovered. There was rather quiet
cash wheat market On the break in prices
following the opening there was little offered
outside the spot stuff, which was small in
volume. Old wheat appears to be little cas-
Ter, some sales having been made at nc over
the price of new.
