Cigarettes are now on sale in Nnoxville. Judge J. W. Sneed of the Knox county circuit court this morning" held that the anti-cigarette law passed by the Tennessee legis lature in If'Jy was. unconstitutional and void.

This was proven by an affida vit from the secretary of state.

The cotton mar ket opened with prices 3 points higher to 5 points lower and all the forenoon exhibited intense nervousness though ruling comparatively tame in specula tive sense. Soon after the call a sharp rally oc chirred in a flurry of room and outsido covering, started by a sudden shift in the trend of fluctuations in Liverpool. Thereafter variations in the local pit were narrow with the market appa rently in a position to bolt either way upon the siigutest provocation. . Late iu the morning shorts made a wild dash to cover on rumors that the I government report had become known J and was bullish. Prices advanced lo I points on these reports. ', At midday just before the, govern-' ment report reached the exchange prices ! showed a slight net advance over Satur- J day's closing figures. Soon after 13 o'cloektthe government report estimat- ing the cotton crop at 10,100.000 bales on i acreage of 2j,0oJ,.o4 was an - nounco'd. This was more than 250,000 bales in excess of tho popular estimate and caused a panic to sell, under which prices dropped 40 to 50 points in a few minutes. Intense excitement prevailed and'the selling was' enormous. Large blocks of long cotton was dumped on the mar ket which had been bought on the bullish rumors. Europe and the south were also heavy sellers. On the break March dropped from 9.54 to 9.04; Jaun arv from 9. 0-1 -to 9.20, and May from 9.45 to 9.00. ' ' BREAK.
