MARKETS
GRAIN STEADY ON CHICAGO EXCHANGE CHICAGO, Dec. 5. Steadiness prevailed in the grain markets today to an unusual extent. A slight tendency to sag which was noticeable at the outset disappeared after a short, and there were trifling upturns in 6ome cases. Prospects of new price fixing legislation appeared to have lost force as a bearish factor. Opening quotations, which ranged from the same as yesterday's finish to 4c lower with Jan. $1.20a to $1.20 and May $1.18 to were followed by a little display of firmness but inside of very narrow limits. Oats like corn had no decided impulse In either direction. Trade was almost entirely local. Scantiness of offerings gave an upward 6lant to provision prices. Pork led the advance.
