The Situation and Outlook as Seen by Riordan & Co. NEW YORK, Dee. 20.-The unwill? ingness of the bears to sell and the dr.s couragir g torrent of receipts were the conflicting influences swaying the mar? ket to-day. May opened at 5.71, ad woad to 5 J? declined to 5.65, closed at 5 68 with the tone very steady. Ii was the liquidation of long cotton which depressed prices during the greater part of the day? bet after this wajs over nobody would sell and prices easily rained The immediate future of the market is all a question of receipts, if tiny fall oft as many <?fa^tft^^?H do after the heydays, we shall advance quickly, but some are coocitiog upon a heavy movement in January which wonld postpone whatever improvement is to come un? til nearing planting time. RlOEDAN & CO. RODDS* ?txfo CIRCULAR, NEW YORK. Dec. 20.--The co? market opened steady at an advance 1 to 2 points but immediately eased off, showing several points loss by o'clock. Local sentiment was rather weak on the expectation that we will go intoi.he new year with about 7.0QO. 000 bal?is of tile crop already secured, leaving eight: mon tbs io which to get the lOC^OO? to make the 9,000.000 figure. The selling to-day was largely by parties who boag ht yesterday on the belief that a better market would fo!' ? the big dry goods sale. Port receipts to-day 46,000 against 37,000 last year. The market closed steady 1 to 2 points lower than yesterday. J. T. RODDBT & Co. ! Hr.

Overboard of tfce ship Don Juan, which was wrecked off Lomvig, Denmark, on December 6,. 1893, was washed ashore on Saturday last near the spot where the vessel was wrecked. The body, which evidently bad beeia buried deeply in the sand, and had been uncovered by the recent storm, f?s well preserved. Among the papers found in the clothing were $180,000 in bank notes and American securities, whieh the authorities are hold?Dg for the proper claimants. The Don Juan was on a voyage from New York to Gothenburg wheo she was wrecked. JThe following . from the Columbia Register on the police force bill is nota? ble, considering the source: **Tbiok of-k! Three men are given power to pass upon the government of every j town and city in South Carolina aod j say whether or not the laws of the State are properly enforced or not. If two of those men should fancy that the laws are not properly enforced in any or ali the cities and towns they have the power to take charge of . their police What a tremendous machine this is ! At a moment's caprice two State offi? cers cao behead every policeman in Sooth Carolina and have at their dis? posal a whole raft of offices to reward political adherents. They cao govern every city and town in the State. They can use the entire police force as politi? cal heelers. Suppose two of the suc? cessors of the Governor, Comptroller General and Secretary of State should be grasping, ambitious men, bow they could control the towns and cities I" Say} You Bee-Keeper Send for a five sample cop j of Root's handsomely illustrated 36-page, Gleanings in Bee-CoUare, Semi-Montbly, ($1.00 ? year) aad his 52-pages illus, catalog of Bee Keeper's Supplies free for your name and address on a postal.
