fessional operators would have had but
little material to Influence prices. Al
though the report showed that a shade

able. For instance, the high ratio of OPP

Morning News Office, Aug 1s
The feature of the markets to-day was
the decline in naval stores which went
off as to both spirits turpentine and resins.
Turpentine lost a cent from yesterdays
price, and resins dropped five cents
throughout the line AT the decline both
markets were posted firm, with the rosin
market in fairly strong position.
While the official turpentine market was
firm, doubt prevailed among some of the
trade as to the real strength of the mar
ket. The demand was light and buyers
manifested considerable Indifference 1t
was not understood that factors were re-
lieved of their offerings. The factor which
is now exerting an unfavorable influence
on the market is the heavy receipts which
are exceeding the expectations of the
trade
1t was believed some time ago that the
volume for August would be large. due
to the setback producers had during the
early part of the season in gathering
stuff. The trade express a feeling of I'M
certainty as to the probable outcome. with
none inclined to take a very bright view
of what the immediate future may have
in store for the market

1t is for you to watch results. As
rule, the system, although afflicted
throughout, does not suffer equally at all
points; generally it is either the head,
the heart or the stomach that leads the
way in the hurrying march 10 the grave.
1t is here in the most sorey afflicted part
that you first feel the thrills of a new
and glowing life with a vividness that al
ways surprises with glad joy, the stupe-
flying pain in the head gives place to
clearness, to glowing brightness: the vast
ed stomach, SO long averse to food calls,
calls for nourishment; the enfeebled heart,
struggling and laborng to keep the pa
tent above ground. leaps into wholesome
action OF course, with one bottle, these
impulses of vigor. strength and joy sent
by this wonderful medicine trembling
through the body, can be but temporary,
yet they ABIDE long enough TO prove the
miraculous power of this wonderful rene
dial force.
Cases have come under our immediate
notice that simply beggar description
that rise beyond the highest reaches of
fancy. 1t is simply a revelation in the
history of medicine TO read the letters and
testimonials that pour in upon us with
nearly every order in which persons la

not be questioned that in Soma the pan
acea for the common, the most direful
plague of man has been brought to light.
Already thousands are blessing the day
of its birth and as the years go by ever
adding to the story of Soma's power to
drive back the tides of disease, uproot and

and blessed embrace of a new life, the
time will come when the world will crown

for the day. While the official market

was rather quiet, and that the demand
was not such as to indicate that prices
are to be maintained However, the early
closing rule was observed which may
have had something to do with the light
business for the day. The days receipts
were | 413, sales $50 and the exports ,162.
Rosins-There was a general decline of
