Sonic of tha shorts covered , but nmny more nro still out In the ftlgld wcnlli- tr. A grout deal of stiength came fiom the heavy exporting agreements reported from IJvHton. Other markets were extremely dull but steady , corn closing a shade- higher , oats % e hlghon nnd provisions 5c higher. Wheat had recovered from thn extremity of yesterday's depression by the tlmo of bu. Ginning the operations of smother day. It Btixrtcd with n rise of 4c or nt from Sle to fc2e for Mny. Only Tor a short time , liow- cver , did the fair opening promise for the bulls continue , nnd they had to suffer an other bad half hour before the bull nnws bccnmo strong enough to change the tone ot the market. In half an hour from the ntart May wheat had dropped to Sl'.ic. In the course of the next hour It had recov ered to S2Hc. ! , The linn opening was wuiscd by the opening striingth of Liverpool and the small local and northwest receipts. The Ohio mate crop report , which RHVU H'e ' con- tlltion of wheat at 88c , compared with 1U1 December 1 , also contributed slightly to the opening adviini-c. Liverpool , whllu noting a ilecilliip there of ? id per cental to start with , imcrlbcd It entirely to sympathy with Hit- previous duy'ti dcprdwlon hew. C. Icuso received 10 carloads compared with SI n year ago. Ilnncapolls and UiiUith got only .Ul ! ems , iiKaliiHt : ! ( il a week ago and fioS on tliu corrcflpondlni ; day of the previous year.

Rvl- ilpnccs of conllnultif ; demand for wheat from the United Kingdom thnn came In und turned thu conrne of the market. Tele grams fiom Iloston , New York und Huffiilo it-porlrd vessels engaged nt the former plaeo for great qunntltlcH of grain for the United Kingdom ; In fact , nil the available freight room nt Hoston until April , nuffulo said 7HuW ) bushels of wheat were under orders to KO from there to Hoston , it nil n Nr-w York message reported a great denl of the Iloston vessel room was taken for wheat from Chicago. About half nn hour from the close May was bringing ffi&c , and It cloned nt 82fcc ! sellers. Corn was Inanimate , notwithstanding some disturbing rumors of Immense quanti ties of hot corn In railroad cars nt New Orleans and Gnlvestonvntch were , how ever , ofllclally contradicted from both places. The business In the pit was very small , nnd the fluctuations in price narrow. Mny opened u shade lower at 2j9c. declined to 23Vie , recovered to nnd closed nt 23'/.c. Receipts were- only eighty cars. Oats was n shade firmeras the brenk yesterday seems to have started consider able buying both to cover shoits nnd for the long account. Trading was extremely narrow , ivhnt little business there was be ing In small lots. A rumor from IJoston to the effect that charters or oats for three dnys amounted to l.OOO.COo nushcls assisted materially In the late nttvnncc. May opened VsO higher nt llWO'tc , sold back to 18'sc nnd recovered to ll'i&c. nt which price It closul. Trading In provisions almost wpiit to nothing today , not a single transaction be- ins ; roenrdcd In the first half hour. Oncn- Irg prices were nominally a s ale higher. In sympathy with a lighter run of hogs than expected , When trading dlii commence this advance was maintained and a little more nddcd to It , nid.'d . perhaps by the strength of wheat.

NHW YOItK , Jnn. 7. The stock market toilny , generally speaking , reflected the efforts of pow erful financial Interests to neutralize the effect of the reduction of the Delaware fc Hudson dividend. Manipulation waa evident In the high-priced stocks , for effect upon the general list. A tendency toward a higher level was apparent at the outset , which was Inlluenccd by foreign buying In this market and the execu tion of orders for commission account. Hxecu- lion of Improvement In Impending railway traf- no returns stimulated an Inquiry for the leading railroad stocks. The traders disregarded n stronger market for foreign exchange , owing to the more reassuring Washington advices regard ing the Cuban question , and made decided rCTorta to advance prices. Ilurllngton rota a pulnt on purchases for Honton account , nnd there was fair buying of the low-priced shares on orders , principally from the west. The exception to the general trend of prices was the nmnracltc coul group , which displayed heaviness. The strength of the exchange market WHS duo to largo pur chaser of bills liy prominent lower Wall sliuet Interests , and the light offerings were IWUKC- qucntly supplemented by supplies of recently hoarded exchange. Actual rates rose slightly , but the advances In posted llgures were more noteworthy. Chesapeake & Ohio was In good Inquiry- , advancing to IS on orders for foreign account , Induced by the recent mole f.V'iublc tralllo returns and gossip of the prohibit1 < ! ic- laratlon of n small dividend. The upwar.l m < ive- mcnt was checkeJ soon after the . " .i I of the llrst hour by a vigorous drive nt the high- priced Industrials and n renewal of lluul Intlon In the coalers. Ituslncss was less active on the decline , but the premire was very persistent. nnd eventually material losses were recorded In n number of Blocks. Chicago Gas sold off S'.i per cent ami Leather preferred fell 2'i ' per cent on rumors of n probable dlrcournglng annual report and uncertainty regarding the disposition of the hold ings of the late president ot ihe company. Ccr.- FOlldntc.l On lost 3 points to 41 , and pinup declines occurred In Sugar anil Tobacco. Dela ware & Hudson wna very errallc al Ihe oul- sct , but eventually dropped IK per cent to llOVi , rallying later to 11214.

A large proportion of all the cattle here were cornfcd steers , the most of them half- fat stuff that would have looked better In the feed lots than In the stock yards , The market on fat cattle was upon the whole slow and drnggy and the whole forenoon was consumed before anything like a clear ance waa effected. Other markets nil came lower , which made local buyers rather bearish , while at the same time sali-jrncn were nsklng gxiod stiff prltrin many cases higher than yesterday. This difference In opinion between the buyers and sellers was the real cause of the dullness and not the want of a good demand. The cattle , how ever , kept selling , such as were attractive- In the eyes of buyers bringing nbout the same pricca ns yesterday and the less do- slrablo and trashy .stuff selling lower. Tht-rc was no very 'marked change In the market for cow stnft , the ten or a dozen loads here selllngfor the most part In good season. The better grades were certainly steady and ns high as J3.70 was paid for a very choice bunch of heifers. The feeling on the common to i medium grades was easier. Stockcrs nnd feeders were In much lighter supply than yesterday und the market was Just about steady. Speculators bad quite a good many on' hand , but there- were a number of country btlyois In , who cut down the supply very materially. Representative sales : , . ' , NATIVES. HEEI-1.HTEERS. tfb. Av.
