PITTSBURG, Dec. 1.-THE American
Manufacturer and Iron World, in its week
ly review will say tomorrow: The local
market this week again puts the features
which are growing rather inonotonous; that
is, dull trade and lower values, where any
changes have been made. In one respect
the situation is somewhat worse than ii
was last week. Purchasers in some cases
are able to provide for needs through the
first quarter of the new year. Oh course
there has been no big business done so far
into the future. but purchasers are tax
ing advantage of the opportunities. Bes-

TRY HALF A MILE.
Johnston Will Build a Sample
Under the Law.
The First Step Toward Making a Good
Public Highway.
Plainfield Pike From Thornton to the
Scituate Line the Section.

The final meeting of the Johnston Town
Council for the year was held last even
ing. The voting list to be used on Juno
8 was canvassed with but few changes.
The following resolution, introduced by
Mr. Bowen, was unanimously passed:
Resolved, That the president of the
Council be authorized to present In be.
half OF the Council petition to the State
commissioners Of highways for the con-
struction under section OF an act en-
titled AN act to improve tho public
highways OF the State passed at the
May session, 1895, OF the PlainfieId road,
from Thornton to the Scituate line; also
Tor construction under section 3 OF same,
OF a sample one half mile on Hartford
road from Andrew Winsor's west one half
mile"
This is the first movo on the part of
any town to take advantage of the pro-
visions ofthe State highway act recently
passed by the L'gisl iture. The Plainfs d
pike from Thornton to the Scituate line
is one OF the principal highways leading
into the city of Providence. Over this
road a great amount Of heavy teaming 10
done, and 1t is a very appropriate high
way TO show the advantages of the new
law on.
AS the law pr Divides that the adjoining
towns that make free use OF any highway
may be assessed certain proportion for
the improvement, the towns of Scituate,
Foster, Cranston, and possibly the city
OF Providence may be assessed.
Johnston being the first to apply for
work on her highways will be first to re-
ceive recognition, as provided under the
new law.

Which Is Queen.

NEW YORK, May 31.-The Fall River
