People having weak eyes should not miss the opportunity to have
their eyes properly examined and fitted to glasses. Thousands of per-
sons use glasses they think suited to their eyes, but the truth of the
matter is their glasses do not correct their troubles but aggravate them.
Many Children complain Of pain in their eyes and are unable to
keep up with their classmates in school. They undoubtedly have de-
fectve vision, which, if corrected, will benefit them for life.

STOCKS WE'RE DULL.
A DOUBT on THE CUBAN QUESTION
CAUSES HESITATION.
A LnrEe Short Interest Is Apparent.
Bnnks Not DISPOSED to Make
Time Lonns.

New York, March 2l-lrhe only feature dis
cernihle in todays stock market was It's dull
ness This dullness was the exact reelection
however, OF the doubt and hesitation which
prevails in all financial circles over the next
probable Developments IN the Cubun question.
Apparently there was limited volume Of
sales foi. short account at the opening, which
resulted in sharp declines to practically the
low roiut Of the day There were lower
prices made in some few stocks later in the
airless drifting of the market Business was,
however. almost stagnant after the opening
until near the close, when there was sharp
rallyne III prices, apparently due to the re-
buying Of stocks sold at the opening There
was no spirit or animation In the rally and
pticcs drifted downward again at the close.
There was only a small volume OF stocks Of
ferlnG all day. but the demand was almost
,noihins and the result is that prices are
som, of tho leading speciaites,
There is every indication OF large out
standing short interest in the market. hut In
me presence of the possible crisis in the 20
iticul outlook this interest is very persistent
In declining to cover. 1t is the prevailing
pellet that the early developments at Wash
inston will include the report OF the Maine
board OF Inquiry and special message on
that and Cuba.
THIS keeps purchasers out of the marker,
anl or the other hand the large short inter
es; EARNS the bears to proceed with caution.
TIL" consequence Is semi stagnation. such as
wns seen today. Some selling today was at
irihuted to Washington account, and there
was some selling also by large individual ope
rators. London was seller, but not to
large extent. The list of stocks and bonds
that moved at all WAS comparatively short
one, the market being narrow.
Foieign exchange stiifened slightly today
aud no engagement was announced of gold for
imrort, Discounts in London and Berlin were
reported slightly easier The outlook here
was easier for money on account of the gold
inportations already arrived or on tho way
Banks are not yet disposed to make time
loans, and great caution In The buying of
commercial paper is also manifest.
Tie bond market was on corresponding
scale of dullness with stocks, and prices were
lower; total sales 100000

Wholesale trade was little more active TO-
DAY than for some days past, with freer move
ment to interior points
City trade In jobbing showed some little
improvement also, as the little stores in the
outlying districts are supplying domestic con-
suniers while the street car strike is on.
Downtown retail merchants feel the effects
Of the tie-up and are anxious to see the cars
run. as their customers can not easily get to
the center OF the city TO do their trading. The
restaurants however, are iourishIng, us hun
drcds cat at dinner down town instead OF
walking home.
Fol the time being the Cuban situation is
eclipsed by the local strike, which is the topic
discussed by all business men, It's contlnu-
ane5 means tho loss Of money at season
when spring goods are In demand.
The prices OF staples remain unchanged.
Fluctuations either UP or down are narrow
and losses are followed by advances.
With the political sky cleared up, In n short
time business would be brisk. The suspense
over the Cuban situation has caused timidty
among conservative classes and merchants are
unanimous lin desiring n prompt settlement OF
the matter.
