GARNET CHANGES.
Rlaias's Reason. for GOing-The "SEIent
NAM who ishO Longer Silent,

WASHINGTON, October president Ar.
thur has not yet fully decided as to his
cabinet appointments, as he has been COM
PEELED to give much Of his time lately to
the disposition Of his private affairs. This
much can be stated with positiyeness, that
he has assured Postmaster-G General James
and Secretary Hunt that they can remain
in his cabinet as long Us they desire to re-
tain their positions, and that he wishes them
to remain in the positions they now hold.
Both OF them will remain. Secretary Blaine
will retire early. He really wishes to do so
The story that Blaine wishes to remain
in the Cabinet Is not true. This was stated
to the Western Associated Press agent to-
day by very prominent Republican who
has the closest personal relations with
Blaine. This gentleman said that few
days after Gartield's death he was in New
York city where he met General Grant;
that the conversation naturally was about
Garfield's death and Arthur's eleva-
ton to the presidency. This gentleman
said he was much pleased with Arthurs
inaugural, which was just out, it being the
very day that Arthur took the oath of Of
flee at the Capitali that he believed Presi-
dent Arthur had the material in him to
make good President.
Gnnt replied that those who doubted it
would be mistaken; that Arthur WIS the
equal in every respect OF Garfield except in
oHltOry; and in personal independence and
slngeneSs Of purpose his superior Many
OF Gartield's appointments were politically
bad-serious mistakes-whiIe some Of
them showed boldest ingratitude, The
worst were those dictated by Blaine, whose
appointment To the Cabinet WIS the first
and greatest blundGr OF the series.
When this friend Of Blaine met the Sec
retary in Cleveland, he told him OF this
conversation with Grant. wherGupon an.
other friend was called In and the words
Of Grant repeated.
Now" aild Blaine, "lo you still advise
me to remain in the Cabinet, should Ar
thur desire it2"
"only until you can leave 1t without ap-
pearlng to do so from personal pique, or
in u manner which would injure the par
ty" said his friend.
Mr.. Blaine's feeling was then plainly ex-
pressed; that he had never contemplated
remaining, lie said the scene Of Cur.
fields death was ever present with him
and the long trial waiting for the inevit-
able, the death, the lust look upon the
dead and the bringing Of the remains to
their last resting place had given him such
mental and physical shock which only
months ofrest could cure, lie expressed
q kindly feeling for Arthur, who, he was
sure, was anxious to call all OF Garfeld's

rNsErrLEp Markets.
Corn Takes q TumbIe-S0tN . Bull or Rear
but Lyon short,

CmcAGo, October 4.-There was alnosta q
panic on Change to-day when II was
Ioised that John B, Lyon, who was report,
cd to be short about S,0O0,000 bushels Oi
corn, had suspended. Mr., Lyon has foE
wears been the heaviest shipper OF corn in
this market, and sometimes almost the ex,
elusive shipper. He was said TO have
been called for Sl,O00,0O0 margins last
night after business hours and 70
have failed to respond to this hlct, and the
action Of the Board OF Directors fixing the
marginal price OF corn at 68 cents, broke
the backbone OF the corn market all Others
selling down in sympathy. November corn
sold down to 70cents from 753, the closing
price yesterday. December sold down Ia
I8s cents, break OF 81 cents. October
wheat sold from 81 423 down to 81 II, and
November wheat from 81 10! down to
81 42s. Oats sold at an offer Of ? cents,
At 1880 prices were still weak and declin-
ing, and It was thought that the kct might
help Lyon pull through.
SRw YoRH, October 4.-The Commercial
AdreHiser has the following about the pro-
duCe exchange; The advance yesterday in
corn and wheat in Chicago was due to the
anticipation OF failures, and also that the
bulk OF that taken was by those thus left
short Of the market, who kept the embar.
rllSsments OF firms secrettill they could
cover and save themselves. Hence corn
broke Us badly as wheat, 2a2l November,
the option leading the break US it lately
lead the advance.
Lard followed the grain market down as
it lately followed 1t up, and broke loo here
and al Chicago, aft;r which Ii IHllied &c
with partial rally in grim, which latter,
however, was lost on very nervous mar
ket.
The oat market was affected in SYM
pathy, but US the party failing Ia corn had
gotten out OF the oat deal on the first, itdid
not affect outs ~ much as corn, and proba.
bly, will not hurt any one here, Us the deal
was closed out successfully.
There are rumOrs OF some operators here
being affected by the failures, but none
seem to be confirmed. The jump in
oats yesterday was due to pawnbrokers
coming into the market for cash, which
they sold for November and December de-
livery, to get the enormous carrying
charges offered the trade which had been
waiting for October deliveries and break,
were out OF stock, and when they saw the
stock again being locked up for further
delivery they were compelled to go in and
buy, and this competition with carriers put
the market up over eight cents, but 1t
eised buck late in the day fully onecent, and
opened lower again this morning,
