MINNEAPOLIS. Nov. M.-Extreme
duilneSS came over wheat this MORN
ing. The market fell into a rut and
stuck there up to noon. Sentiment shift
ed over in some degree to the bear side,
yet the bear traders lacked the courage
to show aggressiveness Heavy receipts
and the prospects of their continuance
has dampened bull enthusiasm for the
time. The market shows no special
weakness, but rather a lack of inter-
est. If indications to date are borne
out, local stocks will increase this week
by 100000 bur This, with the contin-
another heavy increase in the visible
on Monday next. Corn was firm on
higher cables and oats were very strong,
this helping somewhat in wheat.
Primary receipts were 1. 800 bu,
against 692. 366 last year. Shipments from
primary points 672,S70 bu, against 653, 500.
Wheat and flour clearances equaled 514,-
600 bu. Minneapolis received sos cars,
against 293, and Duluth 316, against 81
last year
