MINNEAPOLIS.

MINNEAPOLIS. Nov. 23-The week
closed quiet and steady. Three strength
enlng factors came out during the week.
namely. reports of the need of rain over
the faH-sown wheat, increased frmness
in coarse grains and estimates of a con-
siderable quantity Of wheat already con-
sumed in the Southwest through feeding
to sock. Later rains took the force out
of the first item. Against the remaining
strong sentiment there was the increase
in the worlds visible supply. heavier re-
ceipts at primary points, and an espe-
cially liberal run of wheat into the
Northwestern markets. as compared with
the movement here last year. slight
Wavering followed this latter pressure;
at today's closing prices shows only
small fractional c lines by comparison
with last Saturday.

showing 1.01S,009 blu, against $4,000 last
