NIANric RIVER BRIDGE
All New London County is Specially
 Interested in the Project.

Next Tuesday afternoon, beginning at o'clock. the committee on roads,
 bridges and rivers. Senator Archie
 Mcdonald, chairman. will give hearing on the proposed new bridge over the Mantle river. a connecting point of the towns of Waterford and New Lon don. This matter is of special interest to New London county as the cost and the maintenance of the present bridge is borne by the county and the cost of the new bridge may also be saddled has been ordered by the federal gov ernment, and must be nine feet higher at low water than the present bridge. As soon as this bridge was ordered, the county commissioners called meeting of the; New London county members of the legislature, and at that meeting a committee composed of Senators Whiton, Barnes and Hewitt were appointed to make investigation and examination and to ask the leg fslature for an appropriation to meet the cost of the bridge. This commit tee has asked for an appropriation of s65, ,oo0
 Others interested in the matter, aside from the committee are advocating a change in location of the bridge, so that it will be in direct line with the main highway on the Waterford side of the Mantle river. This would not only avoid two sharp turns, but would also be an economic move At the location of the old bridge there is all ways very strong tide, pockets and eddies, that tend to undermine the structure and increases the cost of maintenance. The expense of the bridge in the new location would be a greater first cost, but it is claimed, the accommodations would be in creased tenfold and the uplleep would be materially decreased. Should the state decline to aid. the cost to the town of Norwich would be at least 1000 and the town of New London s19,O0O, and the rest of the cost woutI be borne by the other towns of the county. This change is forced upon the county of New London by the fed eral government and therefore state aid is sought. It is understood the cost of a new bridge at the proposed new site would be about $S5, 900.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS NARROW
There Was a Moderate Reaction At
 tending the Final Dealings.

New York, April 24.-Leading stocks rose and fell within ? to point linn its today, a general but moderate re- action attending the final dealings. on the preceding day. with a cores pondingly small turnover, the total barely amounting to 100000 shares.
 Operations lost none of their pro- fessionaI character, if anything this was more obvious than before, espec- tally in the various speculative groups, such as coppers. shippinSs. motors and oils Heaviness of local fractions at declines of 1 IA to 1-2 points was regarded as a. logical result of the re- cent liquidation in bonds of those companies.
 The technical situation, on the sur face at least. was in nowise changed, the market at intervals evincinS signs of an oversolG condition, despite the ease with which prices yielded on nominal offerings.
 Interest centered mainly around the quarterly statement of the United States Steel Corporation, which was not issued until some time after the markets close. The late movement of the stock did not suggest an increase in the extra dividend. It closed at III 3-s, a net loss of 5-S, after hay ing risen almost a point
 Rails were exempt from the general selling until the flag end of the ses- sion, when they receded one to two points under yesterdays final quota tions, Soo preferred making a gross decline of 3-S points to 120 5-s.
 Bethlehem Steels and other promi- nent munitions and equipments were firm to strong in the forenoon, with gas shares, papers, feathers, Industrial Alcohol and minor war supply shares. Later reversals in these stocks were attributed to the abrupt decline in Central Leather's failure of the direc- tors to declare an extra dividends.
 Bonds moved in their recent uncer- tain way to the accompa niment of light offerings, including Information als. Total sales (par value) aggre- gated $3,560,00
