MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 31-Dullness
ruled the wheat market today As was
expected, there was no business aside
from few scattering trades at intervals.
With Minneapolis and Duluth the only
grain markets having a session it was
exclusively Northwestern day, and with
nothing especially new in the outlook
mere ana no outside sentiment to guide
on the market held in nc range. Du-
luth developed a little hedging in De-
cemDer, which closed that option relative
~ weaker than here. Receipts were 665
cars in both markets, APT here, against
3o1 last year, and 23S in Duluth. Local
stocks showed turn about and instead
or the heavy decreases of the past sew
eral weeks, this week shows an increase
OF 20. 20 bu making the total 4,4S3, S2f
bu. The usual Saturday predictions for
the Monday statistical changes were
lacking. In local circles a moderate in
1t is also expected that the three days
receipts will bring heavy offerings of
