Show WHEAT MART LIFTS IN MODERATE BUYING CHICAGO, Aug. 21 tat The wheat market rallied about a cent a bushel Saturday on the strength of moderate buying attributed to removal of hedges by exporters and soms profit-taking by previous sellers. Trade specialists said a break of around 25 cants a bushel in wheat since the season's high level was reached last month has eliminated many weak holders who have taken losses, thereby strengthening the technical position of the market. Private advices Indicated Canadian export sales overnight were belter than expected. Wheat closed S to 1 cent higher compared with Friday's finish, September Sep-tember $1.06s'1.08V.
