Pork PACKING AT ST. L0uIs.-Ihe St
Louis Republican of the llth inst. says the
weather there for the past few days has
been more favorable for packing, and buy.
ers have evnced more willingness to take
hold, but receipts we're light and prices ad-
vanced lc during the preceding day, when
all receipts were sold before 10 A NJ. at
$9,5OalO,OO per 100 lbs. gross, for all
smooth lots. So far the theory of an in
crease in Numbers of hogs and the desire
of farmers to market them has not been
verified. Hogs do not come forward freely,
and packers, not anxious to store, salt and
cooperage already on hand, are gradually
taking hold, each packing few as an ex-
pertinent, till all will soon be launched IN
full business. The Republican thinks the
only problem for farmers to solve, is, can
they afford to hold their hogs, and can they
obtain more for their grain by feeding it.,
even if lower prices prevail for hogs in the
spring, than by selling at the present ex'
treme low prices.

been held of the parties arrested in this
city, on Saturday night, in connection
with the late SIS, 600 express robbery on

advised that Frank Bland, yesterday,
made confession of the circumstances of
the robbery, by which the burden of
guilt is fastened upon VIM. Hargraves.
He reports that on the night of the rob-
berry, he paid an unexpected visit to q
private apartment used by Hargraves as
baggnge-master, on the train, when he
found the accused engaged in burning
express envelopes That he interrogated
Hargraves as to what he was doing, and
received in reply the answer: II have
been through the express, and will di-
vide" Bland further states that he re-
celved but small portion of the spoils-
some $500. BANDS previous reputation
is represented to have been of rather a
suspicious order, as he is now, we under
stand, amenable for forfeited bond.
