Chicago, 111, Aug. 17. WHEAT Profit taking by shorts was the feature in this market today. Early foreign markets reported wheat one-half penny higher. Liquidation in the September option seems to have run its course for the present and in its place there is quite a little buying of wheat of an investment character. The market, however, was not as active as heretofore. A great many traders were scrutinizing the stock quotations as eagerly as they usually do their own. Northwestern speculators were in evidence again, they appeared as buyers of both September and December on any slight set back in the price.

is extremely optimistic on the crop situation, but a great many tradersargue that wheat selling around tin seventies is a fair investment and ultimat?ly will pay handsome dividends. Therefore they have arrayed themselves on the buying side of the market, for a turn at least. The market closed rather dull, with part of the advance lost.
