Doing Business All Alone, Mime
81 apoGs Starts a Little Bull
Market Going.
Receipts Here Only 297 Cars, Not
Counting in Wheat from

Liverpool Still Dull and Easy and
Unresponsive to American
Strength.

Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce, Dec. "a
May wheat sold up to $1.14M @1.14M this NOR
ming and Minneapolis did it all alone. every
other market being closed for n holiday. The
local pit had a good many little buying orders
in from outside, and Chicago. New York and
Winnipeg took on wheat in small way. There
were enough traders around in trading centers
where exchanges were closed, to make something
of interest, and as they could do nothing at
home they threw their orders this way. Against
this buying there was not enough selling to make
IN fair offset, for there only 297 of
wheat in, not counting the 80 that contained the
Canadian product, and with this showing the
bears chary about selling short. Hence
the buyers had to bid for the stuff.
Liverpool gave no encouragement, coming easy
and barely I'D up. against the American advance
of 1c yesterday.
Local stocks increased by sos bu. making
the total 14.32S, 741.
There good cash demand. The impression
on the floor is that the mixing Of Canadian and
American wheat will help prices for low grades.
Nothing in the way Of gossip came from the
outside
