WHEAT DECLINES
 IN QUIET MARKET Heavy Tone Follows Liquida- ton By a Leading Buyer RECEIPTS ARE LIBERAL Some Frmness is Shown in Corn Mar ket But Close is Weak and Low
 er-Oats and Provisions
 Also Close Easy.
RECEIPTS ARE LIBERAL

Chicago, September 1.-The presence on the floor of the board of trade of vls- iting delegations from various exchanges throughout the country who were here to attend a grainmen's convention de- tracted materially from interest in trading today and prompted a shortening of the session by a half hour. Owing to the inactivity prices of the leading grain moved within narrow ranges. Wheat closed weak at net declines of 1aQ1c compared with yesterdays final figures Corn, oats and provisions also closed easy.
 Liquidation of September holdings by a leading long was largely responsible for heavy tone which prevailed the greater part Of the session. Some of the most influential commission houses were persis- tent sellers of the December delivery, and this contributed to the weakness. Rallies occurred now and then on covering by shorts, but the upturns were followed by renewed proft-taking which caused fresh declines. Liberal receipts in the north west were the principal bearish factors. The range for the December delivery was between 9S1kc and 99ssc. The market closed weak at the lowest point.
 Some show of flrmness was manifested in the corn market at the start, owing to the covering by shorts, but during the greater part of the session the sentiment was bearish. The selling appeared to be led by elevator interests. The close was weak at losses of B@Ac, with December at 6oAQ6O%c.
 Oats were firm at the outset owing to a furry in the September delivery, due to covering by shorts, but soon weak ened in sympathy with the heaviness of other grains. Leading longs were moder- ate sellers of the nearby deliveries At the close prices were unchanged to Hc lower.
 Provisions were inclined to be weak all day because of Dc decline in live hogs. Prices at the close were 21sQ5c lower.
 Leading futures ranged as follows:

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York, September 1L-(Special.)- Cabegrams from Liverpool stated that that market was considerably affected by selling orders from America, but that there was a good undertone in conse- quence of continued good business in Manchester. After an advance of nearly 50 points the reaction at the opening was quite in order, though the steadiness of the market was quite a surprise in view of the sharp fluctuations yesterday aft ernoon. A slow improvement followed the demand from western buyers, to be checked by a report that the Arkwright club of Boston was considering a resolu- ton to refrain from buying cotton for six weeks Then on the absence of sell CTS and the report of an advancing hurri- cane in the West Indies pointed toward the east gulf states. the market closed at the best prices of the day The feature of the market is that far it has not declined on the large movement of the crop which must be bought by some one
 Liverpool is due to points advance tomorrow.

 Report That Gulf Storm
 is Approaching.
REPORTS OF CROP DAMAGE

New York, September 1.-The cotton market had lower opening this morn ing, but firmed up later, and at the close was steady with prices. ? to points net higher.
 The start was steady at a decline of to Il points, owing to disappointing cables and renewal of the late selling of yesterday.
 There was a good demand, and after the irregularity during the midday ses- sion the market became firmer and ac- tive on report that gulf storm was heading north and bullish advices from southern spot markets. Last prices were within a point or two of the top, and were only some to g points under the high prices of Thursday. There was not. a great deal of news in the market. Low CT prices at Liverpool were attributed by private cables to American selling, sup posed to be by New York bears and Liverpool rallied after the local opening. The weather map showed some scattering rains, but beyond reports of damage in the Carolinas and Georgia there was nothing to create fresh crop apprehen- sions until reports reached the market from New Orleans that a West Indian storm was making progress toward the belt
 Southern spot markets were 1-16c lower to Ac higher. Numerous private wires were received during the day, suggesting a better demand for spots in the south and light offerings, while the trade is ex- pectng large exports between now and the end of the month.
 Receipts at the ports today 55,000 bales, against 33,644 last week and 3S,342 last year For the week, 1S0,0OO, against 15l, S22 last week and 213sS2 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans. 1900 bales, against 1890 last year. and at Houston, 1886, against 13,164 last year.
