The null hypothesis ($H_0$) typically represents a statement of no effect or no difference, or the status quo. In this case, it would state that the mean weight of the cereal is equal to 14 oz, as claimed by the company. The alternative hypothesis ($H_1$) is what you test against the null hypothesis, representing the possibility that the actual mean weight is less than the claimed 14 oz, indicating the company's claim might not hold.
