'- CHICAGO, April 3-JP)-Vrheat prices about-faced today after bounding upward as much as a cent a bushel to new highs since last May, and at one time slumped more than 2 cents from the early highs under pressure of profit taking and some hedging sales. ,. Wheat closed s-l cent lower than Wednesday, May 91-lfc, July Mtt-H. Grain men spent another ses sion trying to translate reports cf Washington developments into market action and then decided to accept profits available as a result of 15 to 20 cents apprecia tion in wheat values since mid February and 8 to 10 cents gain in corri.
