CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

. Chicago, Sept. 1.-THE presence on the floor OF
the Board of Trade of visiting delegations from
various exchanges throughout the country. who
were here to attend grain mems convention, de-
tracted materially from interest in trading to-day
and prompted a shortening of the session by half
an hour. Owing 20 the inactivity. prices OF the
leading grains moved within narrow ranges. Wheat
closed weak at net declines of 1c to 10, cOmpared
with yesterdays final figures. Corn, oats and pro-
visions also closed easy.
Liquidation OF September holdings by a leading
long the feature OF trading in the wheat
pit Liberal receipts in the Northwest were the
principal bearish factor. The range for the De-
cenber delivery was between Sslzc and 99sse The
market closed weak at the lowest point.
Some show Of hrmness was manifested in the
corn market at the start. but during the greater
part of the day sentiment bearish. The De-
cember option sold between 6Ostc and 6IEc- The
close was weak at losses OF bc to &c, with De-
cennber at 6e2sc 10 60sc.
Oats we're firm at the outset owing 20 a FURRY
IN the September delivery, due TO covering by
shorts. but soon weakened IN sympathy with the
heaviness OF other grain. At the close prices were
unchanged to zc lower.
Provisions were inclined to be weak all day.
