Hubbard. Price & Co.'S cotton circular says:
| The decline to-day following yesterday break
| can be largely credited to the liquidation of
| long interest accumulated before the receipt of
| the bureau report of the condition. The crop
| reports received by mail to-day are of con-
| tinued bad character, having been written in
| the midst of bad weather that fortunately has
| now ceased. These reports are mainly from
| the Atlantic states, while from the Mississippi
valley and Texas more encouraging reports are
| received, and the sentiment OF traders nndS
| expression in the lower prices recorded to day
| The scarcity of freight room to foreign ports is
| acting as powerful factor towards preventing
a better feeling upon near positions, which
| should be frmer in view of the fact of the
| actual need of cotton in Europe. Telegraphic
| communication with the south has been badly
interrupted, and light receipts arriving at ports
find many buyers to fill previous sales for Sep
| TENDER shipment Value should improve
while the movement continues so light"

CHICAGO, Sept. ll.-It is not known lust how
bad" the crop report would have satisfied the
believers in dollar wheat, for when the govern
ment figures show a decidedly poor crop, with
little or no improvement in winter wheat in the
harvest, and worse conditions in spring wheat
than existed thirty days ago. the let-go of wheat
is at it hot. The price of wheat went off about
%c on the curb last evening on figures tele-
grsphed from Washington When the markets
opened on change to-day wheat was 1c lower
and Il deluge of long wheat soon broke prices
another cent. 1t is more than probable that an
army of operators with long wheat we're hold
ing it to unload a big bulge, which they
thought sure to follow the fierce bull report for
August. When the figures proved tame the
crowd felt that The ground was sinking under
them and then threw their holdings and a &c
drop in prices the result. This WEAKNESS
continued TO the close at p. m, when prices
were 214GD2Isc lower than yesterday. Very ex-
cellent crop prospects did not affect prices. In
the corn pit there was a greater influence back
of the deal. There was good port demand
for corn at New York and orders from the sea-
board were filed in large numbers in this mar
ket. The cash demand here also very
strong and futures were easily advanced, with
the price leading upward. The opening for
October was at 45c, and afterward the price
touched 4536(ds45l6c. There was some big local
selling, principally by one house, which broke
the price to 4i16c. Then with cash buying the
price bounded to 45I5c, the outside for the SEES
sion, and the close at p. m. was at 1880. The
advance for the session was 1aD4c. Oats were
dull, with fluctuations confined within narrow
limits Pork was strong at the opening and
