CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-In wheat a fair specula-
tive business was transacted, but trading was
in spurts, and most of the session the market
ruled quiet The ing was a little unsettled,

the quiet, and this created weaker feeling In
December future than May. the latter again
commanding a wider premium. The market
