MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 20-Wheat fell
off a little more today, and May sold
at 74ssc. This weakness was not unex-
peeted, and in view of the preponderance
of bearish news the slight dip was taken
| as evidence of q firm undertone, and as
showing something of Increased conf
dence. The Price Current says of win
ter wheat that this is the fourth week
of continued snow covering, and that
there is no material change in condition,
which is fair to good. A moderate In
crease in the interior movement OF grain
| is commented upon. All the other news
concerning winter wheat was bearlsh-
Primary receipts were a42, 600 blu, against
10000 bu, and shipments $4,000 bu,
against 251 ,000 bu Wheat and flour clear
ances equal 100 000 bu. Minneapolis re-
ceived rs cars against 500 last year, and
Duluth had AZ against az.
Fifty loads were reported taken at the
seaboard. This came near the close, and
started covering. The market rallied and
closed firm at yesterdays figures. Ain-
neapolis May closed at 74zsc. July 1916,
Chicago closed May at 7el$@l6Ae.
