he is British subject His slaves, eleven

the ease awaits diplomatic or judicial decision.
Mr.. wilkins, the British Consul at st. Louis,

The slight panic created by tho foreign news had
almost entirely disappeared this morning. and
there was more hopeful feeling entertained in
commercial circles with reference to our foreign
relations. The indignation ~ displayed at LiT-
erponl appears to have been composed almost Gu
tlrelJ OF cotton, which fact il. duly appreciated
by our merchants and operators III e1ain and pro
yisiong.
The receipts OF Lire Hogs to-day amounted to
only 1e52, and under an active request by packers
the market Was brisk, and prices advanced Sc
per 1Go 1bs eince yesterday. About $500 head were
sold. mostly to packers, at range Of 81 s5@s65,
This is not such high range ofprices as was paid
yesterday; but the great bulk Of the sales were at
2e0-While the same class Of hogs were sold
yesterday at $2.60@255. At the close the pens
were nearly empty, and the market bare Of desira-
BILE lots-closing very firm, under good inquiry
bypaclzera.
ihe provision market was also firm though not
very active. There was rather more inquiry for
Mess Pork, chiefly on Canadian account and we
report sale Of 500 bsls at $3.50. free Of storage
till opening Of navigation (2D0 fos to be packed
into the barre0. For the usual weight, $sa5 was
offered and refused, holders being firm at $3.50.
There ts still good demand for English Middles,

packed Lard is In active request, and tending
upwards. with sales Of about SO pigs at $7.2s@
7.ao for kettlcrendered, and 70T,1c for steam.
The orders for Lard arc mostly for kettle-rendcr-
ed, to export to England where there is preju-
dice against eteam-rendered; hence the difference
In price at present.

THE CLOSE OF THE MARKET
WEDEEsDAY. Dec. 1f--The new arrivals of bu{-
locks this morning hnye thrown wet blanket
upon the market, and swelled the number consid-
erably ahead Of the total last week. It appears
upon count this morning. that the number yes
terday Was stated too small, Us the fresh arrivals
90 not number as many az appeared to-day over
the number Yesterday to make total of over 90
head. The total is 1850 more than was anticipated
by dToEcrs who based their calculations upon the
number OF western cattle. This State. Canada and
Michigan. have furnished unexpected numbers,
and altogether the supply is at least Thousand
more than can be sold without great sacrifice,
