ALMOST 4 PANIC.

CHICAGO, Oct 4.-There was almost a
panic on change to-day when it was noised
about that John B. Lyon who was reputed
to be short about ixyht million bushels OF
corn, had suspended. Lyons had OF
years been the heaviest shipper of corn in
this market and sometimes almost the ex
elusive shipper He was said to have been
called for one million dollars
margins last night after business hours
and to have failed to respond. This fact,
and the action of the board of directors,
fixing the marginal price of corn at 62
cents, broke the back bone of the corn
market. and all other grains sold down in
sympathy. New corn sold down to 7C
from 75a, the closing price yesterday. De
cember sold down to 68s, decline to 51l
cents. October wheat sold from 142;
down to $141. and November wheat from
1864 down to 144s. Oats sold off two
cents
At 11:30 prices were still weak and de
clining, and it was thought that fact nigh
help Lyon to pull through.
