CHICAGO, Oct 22.-The feeling i'll wheat was
again unsettled and nervous On the whole
| trading was light, and the market would have
assn led much quieter feeling but for the
| operations of q few large local operators.
| Trading in December, in particular was very
| light, and chiefly in the way of q settlement.
Operations were confined principally to May,
in which month traders feel less fear of manipu-
lation Speculative offerings for May were

receded 81, and closed 16C above the lowest.
May fluctuated between &c above and 14c be-
low Saturdays fiual prices and closed NC below.
Only moderate trade was reported in corn.
