MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.


MINNEAPOLIS, Oct 2.-Wheat was weak
and very dull, with last prices lowest of the
session and showing loss from yesterday OF
sc for December wheat and &c for May
wheat 1t was apparent almost from the
start that the market was heavy. Cash wheat
was dragging, with millers offering 3sc low,
er than yesterday on premium. This had
effect to weaken trading sentiment in futures
and the decline was easy, though less than
realized by Chicago. Foreign gossip showed
lack of stimulation. The visible supply was
estimated to Increase 2,e00,O00 bu Monday,
against !, 400, 900 bu last year. There was not
much news in circulation, but, with the ex-
ception Of drouth talk Southwest, and Its
possible effect on winter wheat acreage, il
was all bearish in tone.
December wheat opened unchanged at $3.50,
sold at SIC, and dropped to close at S6Ac,
against S6hc yesterday and 6419@645sc a year
ago May wheat opened at S7asc, broke to
s65s@S6&c, and closed at S6&c, against S72se
yesterday and 6s6caaa year ago. Receipts
