MINNEAPOLIS.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dee. ga sharp break
in wheat at the opening this morning
made it look for a time as if the bull
movement had received a check, but 1t
proved to be only heavy realizing. The
market opened sc higher at 76Ac and
fell off to 755sc, where it turned again and
at noon strength ruled, with May holding
above yesterdays close, around 75Sc. IN
terest was revived in the matter of the
feeding of wheat to stock. Reports
of feeding in the Southwest are an old
story, but this morning one of the larg-
est local cash wheat buyers had an order
from a country miller in Southern Min
nesota for milling wheat. The country
miller has bought no wheat here for some
later supplies here, as the farmers around
his town are feeding their wheat.
Primary receipts were 1,165.000 bushels,
against $4,000 bushels last year, and
shipments 225,000 bushels, against 326. 900
bushels. Wheat and -four clearances esq.,
900 bushels. Minneapolis received Al cars
against the same number last year, and
Duluth had 343 against SO. Local stocks
will increase about 100000 bushels this
week, from present indications.
