The Situation and Outlook as Seen by Biordan & Oo. Nsw YORE, Dee. 20.-Tne anwill ingness of the bears to seil and the dis? couraging torrent of receipts were tbe conflicting influences swaying tbe mar? ket to-day. May opened at 5.71, ad? vanced to 5 72\ deeiiued to 5.65, and closed at 5 68 with the tone very steady. It was tbe liquidation of long cotton which depressed pri?es daring the greater part of the day, bat after this was over nobody would seU and pri?es easily rallied The immediate future of tbe market is alla question of receipts, if they fall off as many .th&k they wifi do after the haliday s, we shall advance quickly, but some are counting upon a heavy movement in January wh ich would postpone whatever improvement is to come un? til neariog planting rime. RIORDAN & GO. I:ODDSY ?CO'S CIRCULAR. NEW YORK. Dec. 20.-The cotton market opened steady at aa advance of 1 to 2 points bot immediately eased off, showing several points loss by, ?I o'clock. Local sentiment was rather weak on the expectation that we will go into the new year with about 7,0QO. 000 bales of the crop already secured, leaving eigb tm on tbs io which to get tbe 2,000,000 to make tbs 9,000.000 fignre. The selling to-day was largely by parties who bought yesterday oo tbe belief that a better market would follow the big dry gocds sale. Pert receipts to-day 46,000 against 37,000 last year. The market dosed steady 1 to 2 points lower than yesterday. J. T. RODDEY & Co. * - mm ? * * * -? >Ir.
