BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-Wheat prices
fell about a cent bushel soon
after the opening today as a re-
suit of selling blamed on a Washing
ton report that flour price ceilings
may not be changed materially
from present levels but the market
quickly recovered its loss and closed
higher than yesterday.
Buying of previous short sellers
occurred on the rally. Some of
wheat's strength was borrowed from
fractionally higher corn prices, re-
flecting official indications that
farmers would be asked to produce
even more hogs next. year. Early
lows in the wheat pit were lowest
in more than month.
Wheat closed unchanged to q
cent higher compared with yester-
day, December s1.23M-1.24, May

Postwar rebates for corpora
tions today won approval of a
joint Senate-House conference
committee, which also agreed to
retention in the new revenue bill
Of an overall limitation of 80
per cent on business taxation.
The conference committee ex-
pected to complete its work on the
measure during the afternoon.
1t voted to accept a Senate pro-
vision to permit corporations to take
current credits for debt reductions
or for postwar rebates of 10 per
cent OF their excess profits taxes.
The 80 per cent limitation, COM
mittee members said, would affect
only corporations with earnings high
enough to carry them into the
bracket of 80 per cent taxation on
excess profits. If their combined
normal, surtax and excess profits
taxes exceeded 80 per cent profits
net income, the liability auto
matically would be reduced to that
amount.
