LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Inquiries as to the location of a plant in
or near the city are being made by repre-
sentatves OF a company that controls
plants elsewhere for the making Of what
are known sand brick as distinguished
from clay brick. Charles E. Wood Of
Wood, Harman & Co., Who are engaged In
various cities placing subdivisions of land
ON the market, Is the president of the COM
pany that is known as the American Gran
lite Brick Company and John P. Martin is
the general manager.
1t is proposed in the first place to secure
supply of sand. which with small per-
centage Of lime, will form the materials
used in making the brick. 1t Is the inten-
ton to acquire property somewhere along
the river front where the bricks can be
manufactured.
1t Is expected that 1t will be necessary
to procure the sand from the same source
where the main supply for the city Is OBJ
tanned. at various points down the river;
and arrangements to that end have been
discussed with some OF those who are en-
gagged in the sand dredging business. When
that result Is reached and location for
the proposed plant secured, 1t Is claimed
by those interested In this enterprise that
the manufacture of brick by this process
will be added to the existing Industries in
and about the city. The process of treat
ing the sand and lime is by pressure and
hardening.
The latest rumor In regard to the uses
" WIuCa largo tract VI lduQ at Bailey 8
Cross Roads. Va, recently purchased by
persons whose names are not made pub
lis, is that 1t Is to be the site Of proposed
water works for the city Of Alexandria.
The general idea about this transaction
Is that the property was bought in the in
terests Of some railroad company, with the
view OF locating an electric power plant
there, and possibly machine shops.
The money. amounting to about SO, 900.
has been paid to the owners Of the property
In cash, and no checks were used.
The person who negotiated for the pur-
chasing of the land also attended to set
Ting the details OF the transaction, so that
no more Is known about the identity of the
principals than was made public when the
deal was first started.
The meeting today of the WASHINGTON
stock exchange was absolutely featureless,
and the few transactions that were re-
corded were without significance There
may have been days during the present
dull summer season, when the transactions
were fewer, but II that Is the case they
are not recalled.

BROOKLYN NAVY YARD.
An Examination Held Yesterday for
Promotions


An examination was yesterday held at
the navy yard at Brooklyn for candidates
for promotion. Notwithstanding the protest
Of the g. A. r. posts and their threat that
unless their wishes were complied with the
administration would hear from them in
the fall"
The demand was made by George jack
son. the secretary Of thirty-one posts In
Kings county. In a letter to the assistant
secretary Of the navy, which was published
In The Star at the time. The veterans did
not wish examination, saying that in
such an event they would not be able to
pass and the places would be given to men
who had not seen service in the war time
for their country. It was a question
whether the government should seek to I'M
prove its service by competitive examina-
ton, In accordance with established policy,
or reserve the places for veterans
The assistant secretary decided instantly
and ordered the examination to proceed.
Twenty or more candidates for examination
for promotion appeared and took the test.
It was further charged by the veterans that
Naval Constructor Caps was endeavoring
to prevent the promotion Of Quartermaster
Helm, who has been acting foreman and is
veteran of the civil war, and it is under
stood that the examination would be too
severe for him to pass and get the ap-
pointment
