Grain Market Rally Slows CHICAGO, Jan. 13-(P-Soaring grain prices of Monday were con verted into sharp breaks Tuesday with virtually all grain futures under heavy pressure most of the day. - - The dominant factor in both sessions was price control legisla tion. But Mondays' optimism that the legislation might be less re strictive than expected, turned to pessimism Tuesday as strong ad ministration opposition developed to inflationary aspects of the measure passed by the senate. On the breaks some buying was credited to milling interests but for the most part the trend was steadily lower. At the extremes, wheat, rye and soybeans broke as much as 3 cents, or more, while corn and oats lost more than a cent before recovering partially. Most final $ quotations were at or near the. May's lowest . levels. Wheat closed 2 to 2 cents low er, May $UQ4-, July $1.32. CHICAGO, Jan. 13-;p)-The world's busiest grain market in the Chicago board of trade, with its ; frantic shouting and waving of arms in the trading pits, will be hushed for one minute at 11 a. m.
