Prices Pushed Down About
Two Cents a BusheI at

BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,
AssoeiAted Rreas FinAncial Writer.

CHICAGO. June 18.-The wheat
pit absorbed enough profit taking and
hedging sales today to push prices
about two cents a bushel lower.
Buying demand was limited despite
plentiful trade news that could be
construed as favorable to the pur-
chasing side. Further pessimistic
crop news from the Southwest had
little effect, however, and was Offset
by reports Of favorable growing con-
ditions In the spring wheat belt.
The decline Of the last four days
wiped out more than Of the Is
cents upturn scored since the first
of June. Nevertheless, many traders
believe the market has discounted
crop deterioration in the winter wheat
belt reported so far this month. With
the wheat pit apparently overbought,
profit taking combined with the early
flow of hedging against movement of
new wheat contributed to the slow
decline throughout the session.
