CHICAGO. Sept. 1.-The wheat market
attracted only fair attention from the
speculative element, and principally Tor
local account to-day. The orders from
outside operators were generally Tor
small quantities. The short session or the
board tomorrow and its adjournment
over Monday Q4abor Day. had some In
| fuence In checking business. The market
opened unsettled. and SAC. lower than
| Yesterdays closing price. A further de-
cline OF Lc was caused by liberal sell
| ing on the part of New York houses.
| After the decline there was moderate buy
| ing, credited to shorts, and prices were
| advanced NC. to kc. for September and
| &c. for December. About an hour before
| the close the report that the
| Equitable Mortgage company. OF
| New York. had been placed In the
| hands of a receiver, having become gen
| orally known. the market became much
| more depressed. and closed at practically
! the lowest prices OF the day. The tota

| fluctuations covering a NC. range. cat:
were quiet and easier, most OF the busi
ness consisting of changing from near t

the first hours OF the session. A rev
transactions took place In ribs. AT tn
close the market was Arm at a moderate
advance for pork, easy for lard, en-
steady for ribs. September pork opene'
at $l450, and advanced TO SIS, closing u
the latter price. an advance OF BIC. from
