MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.,

There was dull, heavy market for wheat
futures Saturday with the price showing
good sized decline for the day. The senti-
ment was bearish from start to finish, and
the amount OF bear news thrown into the
market was overwhelming to the long side.
There was a little easier feeling in the cash
wheat market after the sharp drop of Fri
day, and, as the price for May wheat opened
lower and every one was on the bear side
with elevators out Of the market, the millers
had rather soft snap in getting what they
wanted at the same difference between cash
and May that was paid when May was a
cent and a half higher.
Receipts of wheat were 225 cars; shipments
OF wheat were IS cars; Duluth receipts of
ing Feb. 8, 223,125 bbls.
