BIG COTTON TRADE LARGEST SPOT DEAL FOR MAY IN
 CITY. Transaction Rumored to Involve e06y0OO on Average Price of II Cents. Fertilizer Sales Indicate
 Good Crop.

One of the largest local cotton trans actions recorded in Montgomery this year was consummated yesterday when Marks & Gayle, cotton dealers, bought from N J. Bell of Montgomery 1,20o bales of cotton. The price paid for this cotton is unknown. but it is rumored that 1t brought in the netghborhood of Il cents per pound.
 The report on the streets yesterday afternoon was to the effect that the transaction between Messrs. Marks & Gayle and N. J. Bell involved $66,0OO. If this be true figured on the basis of 800 pounds to the bale, the price aver aged around II cents. There was no uniform grade, 1t is said, and this speaks for only the average price.
 Being the largest spot deal in the month of May, this may be taken as market indication at least in these parts. The cotton is stored in local warehouses.
 The cotton. market, 1t is believed, is going to benefit by the bullish tenden- cies of the stock and bond markets of New York and elsewhere. Spot deal CTS say that the holding movement Is still being felt by the bears notwith- . standing the recent bound in the fu- lures recorded on both the New York and New Orleans changes.
 The usual season-end fertilizer sales this year in Alabama finally eclipsing those of the year previous in spite of the financial panic, indicate that there will be at least an average cotton crop this year with a favorable season. There are still being held off the market in Alabama an estimated ls0.0o0 bales.

In point of membership, the Roman

dists next. Southern Baptists. colored
Baptists, Southern Methodists, North
ern Presbyterians, Disciples. Northern
Baptists. African Methodist Episcopal,
Protestant Episcopal, Congregational
lists and Lutheran Synodical Confer
ence follow in the order named.
Grouped by UNCONVENTIONAL fami-
lies, so that all branches of the same
order are regarded as one, the Catho-
lies come first, Methodists second,
Baptists third. Lutherans fourth, Pres
byterians fifth and Episcopalians
sixth.
ship is 32,9s3.156. These are en-
braced within 210.1eg local churches

Interesting details of the statistical

the country. but only nine Japanese
Buddhist and Shinto centers. Dowie's
christian Catholic church reports
10 congregations and 10000 mem
bers, despite the death of it's leader
and the dissension among his follow
ers. Christian Science has 668 churches
and S5,096 members. The four bodies
of Friends show an increase for the
year of 1929 members. The two
bodies of Protestant Episcopalians are
credited by DR.. Carroll with decrease
of 81 ministers and 1888 members.
The Disciples, likewise, show falling
off in the number of ministers by $50,
but they added 20,365 members. The
largest gain attributed to any group Is
266,000 made by the Catholics. Bap-

Rapid Work by Photographers.

As regards the rapidity with which

shown within an hour or Two to the
general public, the following account
of the arrangements made for the
Grand National 1907 race will suffice
to give some idea of this Six taking
machines were at work on d1nerent
points of the race course, and spe-
cial van was in readiness for the films
to be developed while en- route Tor
London. The moment the race was
over, the train started, and while run
ming full speed homeward the operators
we're hard at work developing Indeed
not only were the films developed but
they were washed and dried on spec
taf mechanical drum.
On arrival a motor car in waiting
carried the film quickly to the printing
establishment. where $40 feet OF II was
printed on to the positive film. AS soon
as this was dried it was rushed on TO
the Alham bra, Empire and OXFORD tne-
aters and shown to an almost 1ncreo-
ulous audience. When the maj cup
tie was played at the Crystal Palace q
motor car drove the film to LONDON.
and within three hours cinemato-
graph display of the match was given.
The royal wedding which TOOK pace
recently at Wood Norton was announcer
occasion ON which remarkable CELEBRITY
was displayed by the energeuc clne-
photographers. The bridegroom ana the
procession were photographed Win
apparatus which had been pefteclly
adjusted beforehand The moment lne
necessary photographs were secured,
the films were rushed through at breatz-
neck speed, and, as Is Wen known, the
