Chicago, Sept. 5.-The advent of two
days recess of the board of trade caused
general liquidation in all the markets to-
day. Momentary frmness existed at the
opening of the wheat market, and after
wards prices showed distinct weakness.
The weakness was most pronounced dur
ing the last half hour and 1t was then that
the inside quotations were tablished
December wheat opened at 5S19c, declined
to and closed at 577s@5Sc, &c under yes
terday. Cash wheat declined in a CORE
spending degree with the futures.
Corn-No trading of any consequence,
and no features whatever attended the
half session in corn to-day. A decline took
place, the motive for which was obtained
from wheat. The sole object of traders
seemed to be to even up pending Sunday
and Labor day recess. May corn opened
at 24ss@241Ac, declined to and closed at
241sc, Nc under yesterday. Cash corn was
easy and Nc lower.
Oats-The purpose of the majority Of
the trading in oats was with view to
completing contracts entered into early
in the week. Some covering by shorts
and some selling by longs with few mis-
cellaneous orders constituted the deal
ings in the market. Sympathy with the
other grains defined the tone. May oats
closed &c under yesterday. Cash oats were
weak and AQ11ac lower.
Provisions-Occasiona moderate ac-
tivity was noted in provisions, but the in
active periods were mostly the rule. A
steady feeling was manifested at the
start, but owing to the absence of strength
in the surrounding markets, prices later
yielded to moderate offerings January
pork closed at 10c lower; January lard
sc lower, and January ribs 21aQ5c lower.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest. Lowest Closing
