We desire to call the attention of
our correspondents to the fact that all
advertising matter must be contracted
for in this Office. Some correspondents
occasionally work into their copy free
advertising for their business neigh
bors. Such matter is, naturally, cut
out before the printer gets the copy, as
it would not be justice to charge some
men for local advertising and let others
in free.

Chicago Change.


 Chicago, H., Sept. 1.-The advent of two days recess of the board of trade caused general liquidation in all the markets to- day Monetary firmness existed at the opening of the wheat market and afterward prices showed distinct weakness The weak ness was most pronounced during the last half hour, and it was then that the inside quotations were established December wheat opened at 5S1Ac, declined to and closed at 57S@5Sc, ssc under yesterday Cash wheat declined in a corresponding degree with the futures
 Corn-No trading of any consequence and nc feature whatever attended the half ses- sion in corn today. A decline took place, wheat. The sole object of traIers seemed 10 be to even up pending Sunday and Labor Day recess. May corn opened at 243s0I2412c, declined to and closed at 241sc, Ac under yes terday. Cash corn was easy and Ac per bushel lower.
 The purpose of the majority of the trad ing in oats was with a view to compiling contracts entered into early in the week. some covering by shorts and some selling by the longs, with few miscellaneous ore rlers, constituted the dealings in the market. Sympathy with the other grains defined the tone. May oats closed 3sc under yesterday. Nssh oats were weak and h@l12c lower
 i'rovisions-Occasionally very moderate inactive periods were mostly the rule. A steady feeling was manifested at the start iJt owing to the absence of strength in the surrounding markets prices later yielded to )derate offerings January pork closed 10c }3Wer January lard 6c lower, January ribs :. 5aM5c lower.

Cotton Lattar.

Cotton Letter.
 New York, Sept 5-(Special. )-As Monday will be a holiday the greater part of today's business consisted of the evening up of out standing ventures, the large majority of the room traders being long. When the German bears this morning made a raid upon the market a great deal of local selling followed and January, which had opened at 8.36 was forced down 10 points to s.25. Thereupon the German quietly covered and gradual res covery took place. The close was firm at the best prices of the day, S3s being bid for January. After the close $40 was bid for January, with no sellers. Never, it seems to us, was there less Justification for a decline than for that of this morning. Old cotton men here all concur in saying that they can not recolleet ever seeing & crop report in the Financial Chronicle as terribly unfavorable as that published today. The prospect that the picking of the crop will be practically completed in October is certainly some- thing altogether without precedent. It is difficult to see, in the face of such a show ing, how anybody can expect cotton to de- cline.
 The September bureau report, to be pub- lished on Thursday, is almost sure to be far worse than the August report, and will probably sweep away any lingering doubts that may exist in Liverpool as to the seri- ous character of the crop shortage.
 Trade in the country, now that the silver scare is subsding, shows signs of improve ment and altogether there seems to be every reason to expect higher range of prices for cotton.
