MINNEAPOLIS.
Closing

MINNEAPOLIS, April 22.-Wheat held
its strength against conditions well cal
culated to bring decline, and al noon
Minneapolis was firm and a shade higher
than yesterdays close. The market had
a sharp setback at the opening, May sell
ing down to 73c. Rains in the Southwest
did it. The weather map showed pref
ty general precipitation West and South
west, but in no locality was there any
heavy rain. Hutchinson, Kan, and Val
entine, Neb., made the heaviest shOwings
with a half an inch. From this it shad-
ed down to a mere trace at other points
Kansas City naturally felt the full eff
feet of this, and at the opening that
market was excited on a scattered range,
7s6li1sc under yesterday. Other markets
weakened in less degree. Minneapolis
was sc lower at 1880 for May. and after
striking 73c on the break, turned about
and made good recovery.
The market is 50 susceptible to the
weather influence at this time that other
matters are apt to be overlooked. There
are some bull arguments entirely aside
from the dry weather reports. The con-
tinued light receipts everywhere are a
very important consideration. Although
the flour business is quiet, millers do
not find enough good cash wheat offered
