[ Special Telegram to TUB IlEE.1 Everything Indicated still lower urlcos at the opening of the board of Undo markets. The trading of Iho first liour brought declines of lo In wheat , Uc In corn anil ye In outs. Hog products went down alsolOo for pork , a ofor lard and T'.jSlOo for libs. The whout market WHS at the mercy of tlio boars again today. There was , at soicral tagcs of Iho market , n good fight made by lo-il ; htilli to turn tlio market upward. There wasovon a rnlly of KG to 'Jo front tlio llrsb break and by torno help from shorts , who were covering up ns a tnatturof safety. Tills was followed by a second slum ) ) after midday when the price of may went toO'o with a thud. Tlio notion was : May opened at Mo , fold straight off toU" > ! fc , recovered to Oi c , sold at 05 > { o and recovered toO."iic ( , going toflJo In the half hour hoforo tlio closu. Tlioro was not much In tlxlitntany time on which to rally the mnrlcot , Liverpool was quiet for spot and'/id nIT for fntur s. The rucolpti In the northwest were attain llbontl with 287 cars at Minneapolis. Tlioro was more boar news from the i'uclflc ' coast states , representing that no one know how much who.it was piled up at Btntlons , etc. Figures aim wins the exports from the country for December at 4,771,000. against 0,00X000 for December , 1889 , were circu lated.

Uvurpool showed only 10.000 bushels of American wheat for three days. Hut the action of tlio market , WHS not so iiutcli duo to tlio news as to the dis position of the local trade. Tlio trading be gan \\lth the boars In control and pounding the market. Aflorastuall decline , a number of operators who had sold puts began to soil heavily to got whcut oir their hands. At the same time a nutnborof hnusoi began letting go of long wheat. Anton ; the former ' I'oolo anil Cu- mer were 1'ardrldgo , - duhy. AinonS ! the latter were Nor- toii-U'ortlilngtun. Hamsoy ft.

Mll- in I no Hodman and n fuw ether concerns boujtht freoly. Gilford was a buyer , lllooni and Mndlilootn both bid for round lots but did not buy In proportion. With 47,000 bushels of wheat and 2. " > .003 packages of flour out of Now Yoik. and the report that 70,000 bushels of wheat will clear at onoo from llaltlmoro. and a few fresh bulls taklnir hold , It looked favorable for a whllo for an upward turn. The strength lasted but a short tlmo and after a second lirouk there was a rally of but Uc to 0. > Uo ut 1 o'uloak. There was a very fair recovery in wheat before the close. Miny : local shorts found It uns.ifo to stay out , nnd bouglit to cover. The report that a contract was made to move a largo amount of flour from New York to IlrllMi ports helped the buying. The price of May moved up to 0315 ® 057,0 at. the close. January was quoted as low as 83yc , closing at 80'Jo ' ; July. Oltfo toOJ o to 01 He at the close. DThero was no redeeming feature to the corn market at any tlmo , Tim receipts wore oven larger than the liberal estimate utK17 cars. This caused oven receiving houses , the best support of the market , to feel tired. The esti mate for Saturday \ttisS28cais. Liverpool cables were Ud loworoaily and still lower at the close. The support was so poor the first hour that tins prlco of May went right oft from BlJ 'o to MUo ! and there was no wood recov ery to the'close. The recovery in corn the last fifteen minutes of the 4csslou was similar to that In wheat. May sold up to Miio ut tlrj close , showing a not loss of Jo { for the day. The nominal figures on early futures at the close were 48J4c for January and 48Ko for Feb ruary or } c lowur. July sold at 52o } and oir toDlJjo and closed nominal at52c. May corn privileges sold at 51ifflol'o ! ? andSlJiQ.'ilj c. There was nothing now In the oats trade. Belling was srattorlng all day and the prices went oir jjoormoro early , with other markets. Iliitclilnson was the best buyer. Tuttle was perhaps best Boiler. May sold at 45Vic@44e ! { nnd closed % o under last night atUa'c. No prlco was quoted for the montn at any tlmo. At the close Juno was quoted at 41KQI4Uc ; July 40 e. The provls Ion market was oven more de pressed than cereals , nnd Instead of oloslns wltlisomo Improvement , the last prices \vcro Ilia lowest of the day with losses from lust night atVc for pork ; 7io ! for lard , and lOc for ribs.
