WHEAT DECLINES
 ON POOR DEMAND Continued Liquidation By Longs Marks the Trading .dnnn AIrnxxrc Ic DT ADIcII
CROP NEWS IS BEARIsH
Little Hut the Close is Un- changed-Oats and Pro-
 visions Show Decline

Chicago, September 7.-With export out let shut off and with milling demand so wheat today slidsdown in to 11sc. The end of the day left corn unchanged to a shade higher. oats A@asc down and hog products at a loss of Dc to 4Oc.
 The fact that northwestern receipts are lighter than year ago appeared to be the only element of strength in wheat. There was continual liquidation by longs, each decline tiring out an additional list of owners One of the chief causes was a bearish estimate putting the wheat crop of Minnesota and the Dakotas at 170,00o- ' 900 bushels. Then, too, the worlds avail able supply was shown to be T,00000o bushels larger than year ago. A big increase in Australian acreage was re- ported also Prices closed weak at near ly the lowest point of the day. The max mum was only a scant Ac above the final figures of the previous session.
 December ranged from s1 009s to $1 .o1ss9 1 .o1%, with last sales %Q1c down at s1 oo51. Two of the leading houses were ctive on both sides of the market, sell ing on bulges and buying on breaks.
 Some backbone was put into the corn market after forecast of much cooler weather tonight and tomorrow. Fears de- veloped as to possible frost. There was some new investment, country concerns doing little of it. Most of the de- mand, however, was from shorts. Decem- Der fiuctuated between 5514@55Bc and fin ished at 551kq55ssc to 55ssc, net gain of a shade.
 The cash market was lower early, but closed steady with No. 2 yellow at 571ac.
 Oats suffered from unloading by ex- hausted longs and made new low points. The worlds supply was reported the largest on record. December varied from 35Ac to 3shsc, with the undermost figures as the final ones for the day, net decline of sso.
 Shorts showed no desire to purchase provisions. Holders. moreover, were dis posed to realize. especially in pear-by deliveries Tho outcome was that pork closed 5c to S71kc lower than yesterday; lard down 75kc to 15c and ribs 5c to 4oc

EASTERN RAILROADS ! WANT HIGHER RATES

New York, September 7-Eastern railroads will have their innings for higher freight rates before the Inter- state Commerce commission here, be- ginning tomorrow. The first day will be taken up with tables prepared to show the need of higher rates.
 The New York and New Jersey Live Stock exchange sent to the Interstate Commerce comission today a resolu ton protesting against the proposed advance in the New York Chicago freight rates from 45 to 50 cents per hundred pounds on dressed beef and form 28 to 33 cents on live cattle.

Hubbard Bros. < Co.'S Letter

New York, September 7.-(Special. .)-An the markets this morning were affected by the continued selling by those who expected the new crop to advance near to parity with the closing prices of the old. It was apparent that at the decline Europe was a large buyer on arbitrage transactions, which in turn meant that spinners were buying on the decline to absorb the offerings against the purchases here Therefore, the trade expected a re- action as soon as tbis long selling ceased and 1t came during the afternoon, ad- vancing the market above the closing quotations of yesterday.
 After such a break 1t was good judg- ment on the part of the American and European spinners to buy. Whether they will follow any further rally will de- pend upon the weather in the cotton belt Rumors of a storm over Porto Rico aided the recovery in the last half hour.
