the pits and by comparison with the recent
was impossible to determine any decided
tendency through the first two hours of
trading. The fact that it rained here was
the cause of a little scattered buying, the
posting OF the figures showing a gain of
371 cars in Northwestern receipts being
the signal for a little selling. One offset
the other. The scalpers did the business,
while the big traders looked over h
field, sized up everything In sight and
hesitated. Minneapolis December opened
at 70%c and held between that figure and
70h @70%c, with very slight changes. Chi
cago opened at 721ac and moved up and
down Mc at least twenty times in the first
haIf hour, but would not break either

The wheat market in Liverpool showed
considerable strength today in face of
the weakness here yesterday, and this
fact, together with predictions of rains in

mEEkLv MARKET LETTER

little and prices are going down. Up
to today the total loss for the week
amounted to about SO cents. Five
cents of this loss was regained today,
the market ruling that much higher
than yesterday. In spite of the big
drop this week our market is in excel
lent shape compared with other West
ern points. Prices are lower at all
points, and the decline has amounted
to more at most of the other markets
than at South st. Paul. See market
report in another column for today's
business.
SHEEP-Receipts have been heavy
this week. with the bulk coming from
the West. A fair proportion has been
put on sale here, but the stuff has run
largely to feeders. Killing stuff has
been scarce and prices are 20 cents
higher on lambs and 10@15 cents high
er on sheep. Stoekers and feeders are
moving a little better at slightly
stronger prices.
