MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, June S-The course of a
higher active and strong wheat market has
been recorded today. This is somewhat of A
surprise to the trade, coming on the heels of
a market which appeared to have no redeem
ing features a day or two ago. Yesterday
the trade being without the usual goss:p from
Chicago and the East, were on the fence.
To-Day encouraging news for the bulls came
from many quarters. Liverpool was closed
so that there was no speculative news from
that quarter. New York, however advised
that foreign houses were in the market huv
ing freely. 1t found also that claar
ances yesterday on a liberal scale and
that considerable buying in a quiet way had
been done st. Louis reported that the okla
homa mills were bidding Csc for all the new

not a bushel of that crop will reach the great
wheat centers unless greatly higher prices
are paid to induce q change Of route Rut
the greatest surprise Of all was the visible

from chicago and Duluth found their resting

NEW YORK. Js.ae-s-The dry goods mar
ket shows no general Improvement The dis
NAL weather and the chilly days have hin
dered the trade in seasonable cotton dress
goods and sheet fabrics. Supplementary or
ders which have nbeen coming In somewhat
more freely than previously in the past few
days. have now ceased to arrive. In wooden
goods of all descriptions there is more de-
cided increase in supplementary orders and a
better feeling is noticed, though some sellers
are getting more business than others the
trade being decidedly uneven. In staple cot
tons the demand is still quiet. Printed goods
continue steady.
