The Rumors of Oabinet Changes.

The rumors Of Cabinet changes have no
other basis than the probab.e vacancy in

shortly. Mr. Williams denies absol tely
mat any effort has been made 10 discover
whether be could be confirmed by the
Senate. If Mr. Fish should Ieaye he
Cabinet before the expiration Of Prrsident
Grants term, it will be against the per.un
son Of all the best men OF the parn and
the urgent desire of the President that he
should remain. II is not even probable
that a successor for Mr. Schenck has been
decided on IN the Presidents own mind. -

BEEF CATTLE.-The opening of the
market early this week was attended with
a considerable degree Of activity, and with
prices cent higher on all grades than last
week, this being especially the case in the
wholesale trade. But the early expecta-
tons Of dealers were not wholly realized
in the after operations, when the market
subsequently fell off and dragged very
slowly along towards the close, with sales
generally at the range of last week S
prices, and in some instances at lower rates.
The tops were superior to those Of last
week, with not near as many common cat
tie on the market
Prices to-day for. beef cattle ranged as
follows: Best beeves at IS 00a7. 30; that
generally rated first quality S. COAT. 90 ;
