MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 2S.-A better feeling
prevailed among wheat circles this morning
than for some time past, and the friends of
wheat felt that the worst had passed and were
inclined to lock for better prices in the near
future. They were not over sanguine how
ever, for the reason that they know that the
pears have considerable winnings On the late
decline, and that on any rise they are in
a good condition to again attack the market
In Chicago when wheat was between zee and
soc for May there was fight for a fortnight
between bulls and bears. 1t was a question As
to whether the bulls would force the bears
to l1quldate on strong market or the latter
would force the bulls to Equdate on a weak
one. 1t Is no longer question. The matter
mas been settled. The longs have liquidated
1t is now felt that reaction is due and with
little encouragement prices will again adj
vance. The news of the day was little CON
netting, but on the whole more favorable
for turn. First cables quoted Liverpool as
opening weak and lower but through an
active demand recovered the loss remained
STEADY, again lost a fraction, then rallied
ana scored net gain Of I'd over yesterday.
The rapid fluctuations in Liverpool shows an
awakened speculative interest which has
been lacking for some time and should II
continue for day Of two we shall feel the
efects OF it here. Proctor's cable to Mr. Bak-
er, OF Chicago, says: THE late decline in
wheat was Irrational. The true position in
England and Europe is very strong" Berlin
was reported as weak, the cause of it being
state regulation which hampers the freedom
OF trade. Berlin closed steady. Chicago re-
