MINNEAPOLIS, May 1.-The wheat
market gained cent in the first hours
BUSINESS TINS morning. and did 1t on firm
cables and with no other especial news
OF nature to bring on a upturn, but
rather on good demand for the wheat
AS soon as the market opened there was
buying Of May. The local cash market
was quiet, but from other markets re-
ports came Of good cash demand Ele-
Vators were said to be buying May in
chicago, The good demand started I'D
the May option, and on this the July
shorts began to cover, running that on

dlnerence by a fraction Deliveries here
were very light, and not much over 75, 600

who had kept close watch of the chang
ing over into July that has been going
on FOR some days. While it was known
that good deal of wheat had been
changed to July, yet the deliveries were

eral belief Is that most of the short wheat
