By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-Grain prices
tried to- extend their recent recovery
today, but early gains of a cent or
more bushel were wiped out after
midsession.
Profit taking and hedging sales
became too burdensome in late trad
ing for the market to hold its gains.
Part Of the selling was attributed TO
dealers who were influenced by
weakness of securities following re-
ports that legislation to limit corpo-
rate profits is contemplated. In
creased wheat receipts at some ter
minals added to selling pressure in
the futures pit.
Soybeans registered gains of more
than 3 cents early in the deS, due
partly to heavy rains in many sec
