The market was another slow and very uneven affair. Beef men were all out early, but they were Just looking, and up to a late hour not enough tales had been made to establish a market. What little early trading was done waa mainly In steady notches. Good corn feds brought as high as $12.65. ' There was a fairly broad demand for butcher stock, but the yards were full of cows and heifers, - and buyers Were taking their time about making their selections. Good to choice feeding cattle which sold to the best advantage yesterday were a drag on the market this morning. On lighter and cheaper kinds there was a fair amount of competition and quit . a few bunches moved at prices that were pretty close to steady. Quotations on cattle: Prima heavy beeves, $14.

President' Recommendation et War on Austria Cause No Change In Market. Chicago. Dec. 4. President Wilson', rec ommendation that Immediate war be de dared on Austria-Hungary did not cause even a flpple today In the markets here. His references, however, to a proposed new price fixing led to some selling of corn in the Inet half hour of the day. Corn closed unsettled at the same as yesterday's finish to a quarter cent higher, with January $1.20 and May $1.18. Oats gained ' to lc net.. Provisions underwent a set back of 27 to (5 cents. At first th corn market showed a de cided upward bent, the result largely of near-fulfillment of predictions of larger re ceipts. An advance of oat to the highest prices yet thlj season counted also es a notable stimulus. Mid-day bulletin telling of the president' attitude were eagerly read, but that his views would be of a vlgorous'mllltant character seemed to have been taken as a foregone conclusion. Ac cordingly, the only change In the market came late after new was received that he favored a broadening out of federal reg ulation of prices. Oats bulged sharply owing to pronounced scarcity of offering and because of ex porter having taken 1,000,000 bushel In the last two day. Announcement of trade restriction to meet the views of th federal government weakened provisions. Chicago Cash Prices Corn: Nos. 2 and yellow, nominal; No. 4 yellow, $1.66ji 72.
