Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce,
Feb. 1l.-Light receipts at: primary
markets made an influence for price
maintenance in wheat today. Only ,l54
cars turned up here, which, compared
with the 357 of year ago today, was
a showing we'll calculated to make the
bears hesitant. To some extent, no
doubt, the recent cold weather has OPP
Grated to hold back wheat, and it i. IS
possible the movement next week Will
increase. Still, with so light total
in this morning, decrease OF oa9,124
bu in elevator stocks for the week, and
of $4,000 bu for the one day to be fg-
ured into next week, the, local supply
situation was not conducive to weak
ness. The cash demand, too, was good,
No. 2 northern going about 311ac under

May price for the choice lots. Else
where there was little of encourage
ment for the bears, for, while Kansas
City, to the surprise Of all, ran over,
with $4,000 bu in against 81 900 a year
ago, st. Louis fell away behind, with
only $4,000 against $4,000. At Du-
luth there were only % cars against
ITO, and Chicago got 9 against II. Win,
WITH WITH 10.
Near the close Of the market an ele-
vator man reported the sale Of 100000
bu to como out Of store at a price not
stated, but apparently very satisfac-
tory to him. This helped the market
and put May up fraction, to $l.15&
M1.15B. May corn had sold to Acc
earlier in the day, and this was another
help to wheat.
The primary receipts were late in
coming, but indications were for about
