MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. H.-It was a
weak and hesitating wheat market today,
with declining tendency from the start.
This was the general tenor, but in ths
local market there was a trace of stub
bornness. May broke to 7412c before
noon Receipts here were again light,
there was not much selling pressure, and
the local TT aders followed the Chicago
dips with less alacrity than of late. Mani
toba wheat continues having depressing
influence. Chicago reported that export
ers there were feeling the competition.
No. northern, Manitoba wheat, was re-
ported offered today at 31sc under CHI
cago May wheat. This on a basis c. l. t.
Buffalo, at opening of navigation. This
makes it almost &c under cash wheat in
Chicago. Unsettled weather, with snow
f1urries. continues in the Northern sttaes.
and rain is noted in the South, but there
is no well defined storm centered in any
section.
Primary receipts were $4,000 bu, against
402, 600 last year. and shipments $500 bn,
against 267, 600 blu. Clearances wheat ard
flour, 383 coo blu. Minneapolis received
161 cars, against 800 last year, and Duluth
had 50 against Is.
The market broke to 744c near the
close. Bradstreet's figures for the week
wheat ad flour exports showed 100000
Blu, against 100000 bu last week, and
3,776 coo bu a year ago. At the close May
was 74A074ssc; July, 751ac; January, 1880.
Chicago closed May at 71s4@777sc.
The car question, after having been in
the background for a time, was to the
front again today in cash wheat. De
mand in general was good, and with very
light receipts prices held firm, but there
was lower price generally on sales of
lots in Great Northern cars No. north
ern in cars available for immediate re-
loading with -four went at &c under May
for few choice lots, but other No. 2
sold lower No. sold from TIC to
72&c for the extreme range. Low grades
were well cleaned up.
Following was the range of prices on
wheat:

Ffour-No change of Importance is noted
in prices, although cash wheat was a
little lower today. The tendency is to-
ward steadiness, with the easier wheat
effect offset IN part by the weakness in
mtjers' offal. Domestic demand is only
fair, but there is a better export INQUIRY
and more business in low grades to go
abroad.
