MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Fairly Good Trade With Prices
Firm

There was a fairly good trade in specula-
tive wheat. The opening price was a shade
lower than Saturdays close, but there
a good demand, and the price rapidly ad-
vanced to point about PC higher. Cables
were higher, but the worlds shipments
proved too large, and the advance was sub
sequently lost. There a very active
market for cash wheat, with spot offerings
large and sales to arrive footing up quite
well at the advanced prices. Buyers appeared
more anxious than to get hold of the
goods and started in by paying within &c of
December price for the contract grade. Both
mtllers and elevators were good buyers and
neither appeared able to get all they wanted
on that basis. Following are closing prices:
