Indications of a lessened movement appeared during the week on account of the lower tenn peratures throughout the turpentine belt caused by rains Roads in some sections have been made impossible, and to this extent has in terfered with the hauling of stuff to the rail- way stations. To what exteht this will affect the port movement remains to be seen, but the indications are the receipts will be less jug ing from the avidity with which buyers are grabbing for the faily offerings.
 Turpentine is firm at 45%, at which 1t has been for several days past. It was forced up to this price by the bidding of the tank people, who expressed a willingness to take the offerings around this figure. Exporters un- derstood that if the market dropped to 45 cents that the offering stock would go into tanks, and rather than have 1t disappear from the market they have kept prices up. The withdrawal of a few thousand casks at pres ent would have boosting effect according to the general opinion
 From all standpoints the statistical position is strong. Reports say that London has q large stock of turpentine, still exporters ap- pear willing to take whatever offers around present prices. In some quarters it is believed that the market will ultimately rise much higher on the theory that this crop will be a short one, and that the nearer the trade ap- proach a realization of this the more urgent will be the demand for spirits. At any rate, it may now be safely put down that this crop is very probably to be less than, that of last year as to both spirits and rosins.

 According to the testimony of number of the most prominent physicians in Lou isville the heada che-cure habit is assum- ing a serious menace to the health of the community. In speaking of the habit Health Officer NJ. w. Allen said
 "Unquestionably the indiscrlminate use of headache remedies is widely prevalent here and is exceedingly dangerous. These remedies almost invariably contain drugs which depress the action of the heart, and should be taken only under the advice of physician. They generally contain acetanilid or some other of the coal tar products. all of which depress the circulation. Frequently they contain cnloral hydrate, the drug used in knock out drops
 Tt is often very difficult, when one is suffering from a severe headache to re- frain from seeking a relief especially when 1t can he had so easily. But the hab- it of taking the powders and other reme- dies so freely offered at the drug stores is extremely dangerous"

 NEW YORK, June 1.-The local market for cotton futures opened easier in tone today in consequence of generous liquidation in the old crop months. The opening level was at a decline of 3qto points and further pressure resulted in additional declines. The July de- livery was especially soft and dropped with perfect ease under a veritable flood of selling orders which appeared to come from divers sources. July broke some 25 points and then under moderate degree of support gradually rose towards 2c again. The new crop po- sitions ruled relatively steady during the day at times displaying a relatively firm tendency There was some support In the local market traceable to the bull element in the New Or leans market. The cables were generally about as expected, while other news of an influential character displayed but few material changes in the general situation. Tho spot markets were steady and quiet with a moderate de mand, while spinners were inclined to give but little attention to the markets The move ment Of cotton was smaller. The weekend statistics were figured to be in line with ex pectations and for this reason the various figures at hand had relatively little effect The late market was generally less active though the fluctuations reflected nervousness and more or less uncertainty on the part of buyers and sellers alike.

The total decline in the English market amounted to points on near and 293 on distant months. with spots off 6. The change of front on the part of Liverpool was reported as due to the efforts of New York during yesterdays closing hours and reflected by a decline here of 79io points on teh near positions with the late months practically unchanged. IT, regular markets the order of the day, with prices keeping pace with orders to buy UT sell. with selling orders to secure profits in sight apparently taking the lead. The off, hcial weather map showed less favorable con- ditions with general rains excepting in the southern part of the Gulf where needed. Un- seasonably low temperatures reported in the extrem northrn part of the belt. The de- cline today can be attributed to the fact that the recent advance was construed too sud- den. thereby causing much apprehension and consequently delaying outside buying Again New York reports today that commission houses there flooded the South with bearish wire advices, which was also a factor in to- days depression. However. the spot depart ment shows no signs of demoralization. Until the financial atmosphere clears we believe that 6 conservative course should be pursued
