MINNEAPOLIS.


MINNEAPOLIS, March 25.-Extreme
dullness ruled in all the grain markets
this morning. There was not enough
trade to hold the market even against
very moderate selling, and May sagged to
6s1sc after an hour The pit traders were
a very undecided lot. They did not like
70 be bears in view Of the late decline
and present comparatively low price
range, and they were afraid to turn bull
ish after the recent disastrous experience
on the long side. On the whole, senti-
H-eht 1aYoIed a moderate upturn, but
everyone waited for someone else to take
the initiative.
Liverpool was off I'D at the close. New
York wired that the cash wheat cables
were little more favorable and there
We're some acceptanceS from abroad
From the Southwest it was the same
story; rain and more rain That the win
Ter wheat IS in good shape no longer adj
mits Of doubt and the question now Is
whether the prospect for q good yield has
been sufficiently discounted in the decline
to the present figure.
Any upturn must start here and cables
nave less than the ordinary significance
as Liverpool for the time has dropped an
pretence at leadership and is following
our lead closely. Richardson, Of Chicago
had Liverpool cable saying that it was
utterly impossible to stir up the least
enthusiasm there in the face Of the pres
markets
