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.

The ?ody of Capt. 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"
