MINNEAPOLIS.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 9.-The wheat
market opened a little nervous this morn
weakness, and for an hour the market
was weak, though large offerings by
small holders. Later the market recoy-
cred strength and ruled strong up to toe
close.

against Tic yesterdays close; declined to
703sc. firnled up to 7es4c, dallied about be-
tween 7o5sc and 70a4c for while, then
to Tic, lost &c by n:25, and finally closed
at 707sc.
May wheat opened at 72a4@72Bc, against
I27sc. yesterday. declined to 7212@l22se
vanced to 73c, lost 1sc by 11:25, and closed
at 70 1-16c.
The cash wheat market was a little
slow for the low grades, but quite strong
for good milling grades, Sellers Were
again Handicapped by the discrimination
between the Nos 2 and 8 wheat coming
over the Great Northern. In. fact the
difference was greater today than ever
T he G o b e has explained this feature
on former occasions. The miller is still
willing to pay a bonus for wheat coming
over the Milwaukee or Omaha in order
to get the car for shipments East. NO
/ northern sold mostly at 11ac over De-
cember, with a few sales at Nc better
No. northern l cent under December
over Great Northern and zee under the
Omaha or Milwaukee. No. 3 wheat sold

or other Eastern roads. Sales were
