Berlin Market Excited.
[BY Cable 10 The Iimes.l

Berlin, August ls-The grain market
closed flat last night, but at the opening this
morning there was a decline in prices and the
market WAS excited. ADJUST rye, which
closed yesterday at 267 marks, opened at a de-
cline of 40 marks 80 pfennigs being quoted at
24G marks so pfennigs. September and Oc-
tober delivery closed yesterday At 245
marks and this morning showed
decline of marks 30 pfennigs.
the price being 23G marks 80 pfennips Wheat
decline Of marks from yesterday closing.
September and October delivery opened at
2s6 marks. decline Of marks 80 pfcunigs
The decline in prices was caused chiefly by the
news Of the Government actlOn 70 ordern,
the substituting II wheat meal IN place OF ~
for making bread for the army. There is
growing belief that the situation has been ex
sgrerated. and that the recent rapid advances
in prices was not warranted by the facts of
the case.

ALUMINIUM LANDS IN KENTUCKY.
An English Syndicate About to Develop
It-Richest Yet Discovered.

An English Syndicate About to Develop
It-Richest Yet Discovered.
PADUCAH, Dec William Harvey,
of Evansville, ind, and John r. Lind
ner, of Cincinnati, have just realized a
fortune from the sale of their Kentucky
aluminium lands, In speaking of it Mr..
Harvey said about year ago he and his
partner Mr.. Lindner, came across into
Kentucky and bought 312 acres Of clay
land, situated about thirty-one miles
from Paducah and eleven miles from the
Newport News and Mississippi Valley
railroad. They paid several thousand
dollars for the tract, and about the time
of the purchase, aluminium began to be
talked of Several experts informed Mr..
Harvey that his land contained a good
deposit of clay for the manufacture of
this metal. He spent all his spare money
in having it tested. Last June he quit
the road as travelling salesman so that he
could devote his whole time to the de-
velopmRnt of his land. Cincinnati
parties pronounced it a very superior
quality of pottery clay.
Finally Walter B. Pennington, the
aluminium airship inventor heard of the
deposit, examined it and pronounced it
first-class. He interested some English
capitalists, and the tract was purchased
for $500, 600 and will shortly be paid for
Every ton of clay found ON the land
contains 406 pounds of aluminium, and
this is the best production yet known,
The best record heretofore made has
been 290 pounds. All but eighty acres
of this land contains aluminium and the
deposit is twenty-seven feet deep, and in
some places even deeper. 1t will take
200 years to exhaust this supply with a
large force of men all the time:
The Englishmen who bought this
land will erect a plant at Mount Carmel,
Ills, to turn out the metal for Penning-
toms use. Mr.. Harvey owned three
fourths of this land and Mr.. Lindner the
rest Pennington is said to have an
English syndicate behind him worth
$20,O00,000 The work of building the
aluminium airship will be begun by
Pennington at Mount Carmel shortly.

Another Ohio Bridge Completed.

KENovA, w. Va, Dec 1.-The Nor
folk and Western bridge over the Ohio
river at this place, which was begun in
May, 1890, is completed. 1t reaches
from Ohio to West Virginia. and is
built on five piers and two abutments,
each resting on solid rock, The founda-
ton for the piers was at first made of
concrete. but this was found to be too
weak, and had to be dug up and re-
placed by solid rock. The bridge CON
sists of five great steel spans, measuring
/ 900 feet Leading to the bridge is an
iron viaduct, which is about twice as
long as the bridge. A fine depot is now
in course of construction near the
bridge, and all railroad changing viii
hereafter be made here, in place of Ash
land, Ky. and an accommodation train
will be run between Kenoya and lronton.
This town was started when the bridge
was commenced by an eastern syndicate,
and has grown up in a lively manner.
1t faces Kentucky, Ohio and West Vir-
