Chicago, FEB. 9.-Liverpool came with
some encouraging news TO wheat holders
this morning. and those who were snort
over night and who, therefore, were far
from being holders, rallied to the support
of the market at loss to themselves. The
uncOncern of the outside to the condition
of the market and business generally was
not favorable TO strength, however, and

dated buyers with all the wheat desired

forts to weaken the market were aban-
