Tho week opens with prices unchanged, but
with everything rather unsettled. owing to
the Cuban situation. The question is a crit
icai one, from commercial standpoint be-
cause war would not only unscttle values
but would disorganizc everything In tho
transportation lines. as the shipping trade
would DO partially suspended. In this con-
necuon the New York Commercial says:
ITO what extent the coasting trade OF the
United States, which. in recent years has as
sumed tremendous proportions. will be inter
fsred with by war between this country
and Spnln Is question OF the hour, as a
stoppago of this vast commerce would not
only AFFECT those directly engaged. but would
be felt all over this country. Millions
Of dollars worth of the products OF the
Northern and Southern sections Of the United
States are exchanged each year By the ALL
water route, and tho tonnage carried by
coastwlsc vessels reaches stupendous
amounts.
Although tho railroads penetrating the
South may at the present time truthfuly
boast OF excellent equipment, they would,
nevertheless, be powcrcss to furnish the
requisite freight transportation In case our
Atlantic coast shipping trade was hampcred
BY tho presence of Spanish fleet. For in
stance. the vast quantities Of lumber shipped
from Southern ports could not possibly be
carried by the railroads. and the great In
rrcnse In rail over water freight rates would
80 materially increase the cost of goods thus
transported that their sale would naturally
be restricted to the lowest possible extent.
business men whose interests arc In any
way allied with constwisc commerce arc very
anxious that the Spanish difficulties DO ended
as quickly as possible. They all complain
that the uncertainty of tho situation has
stagnated business. No ono knows what to
expect. The sbipowncr, tho shipping agent.

in fact every ono connected with tho coast
trade is mt sen. so to speak. They say that

Traders came down this morning with
Easter chimes still sounding peacefully In

cord with their feelings. Cotton advanced
steadily with stocks aud cold UP points

What the future course Of cotton will be is

can buy and sell with some degree OF GER

No man whose sight was imperfect was ac-
cepted. The doctors were careful to reject
every man with heart trouble or any other
organic disease A man had to be able to
expand his chest at least 21s inches, and if
he had a tendency to consumption he was
not accepted. The doctors were very careful
to examine the mems feet Flat footed men
were instantly rejected. for such men are
unable to endure the strain of long march.
Neither were men with corns taken. Any
thing that tended to hinder man on the
march disbarred him from the service All
who seemed naturally feeble were rejected.
The average, however, was excellent and
the doctors were struck with admiration for
some of the men. The Thirteenth regiment,
they said, was composed of the finest speci-
mems of physical perfection they ever had
seen. And they were surprised with the show
Ing made by the country men. The lumber
men. the doctors said, were all strong hardy
fellows, and would make magnificent soldiers.
The doctors were materially assisted in
their work by the captains of the various
companies, who rejected on their own resDon-
sibility great number Of deficient men By
that means there were fewer poor men pre-
sented for examination than was expected
