IS CONVICTED UNDER
 MARKET ORDINANCE
Negro Fined S5 for Violating Weath- crly's New Law Governing
 City Market

The first conviction under the new pub lie market ordinance was had yesterday at the police court before Judge Black. The ordinance is better known as the meas advocated by Commissioner Weatherly to centralize all the market stuff brought into Birmingham and give the consumer an opportunity to buy di- rect from the producer. Yesterday morn ing Sid Beverly, a negro employed by a 'groceryman. was arraigned before Judge Black on a charge of violating the pro- visions of the new ordinance. He ac- knowledged to the court that he had made purchases for retailing purposes and pleaded ignorance of the new law. Judge Black let him down with the lowest fine, which is $5.
 The judge said that the ordinance would be strictly enforced. The market has been in Ope,ltion a few days and thus far has proved satisfactory The ordi- nance prohibits the wholesale purchase of these commodities by dealers until after 10 oclosk a. m., and requires the producer to exhibit his wares in the city market until that time, when he is at liberty to dispose of them as he pleases.

Again, one of the main points advanced before the supreme court was that the, bill is a local one in which it is declared to be unconstitutional If this ruling should be laid down by the supreme court every commission government in the state would be abolished, and the state would revert to the old aldermanc form of rule.
 With direct respect to the Montgomery measure, some contend that unconstitu- tionality of the present measure would make the city revert to the original bill, which, it is said, became law of it's own accord by virtue of having lain on the governors desk the required length of time. Attorneys who have been pre- senting arguments against the city con- missioners of Montgomery contend that the present law was placed on the stat utes at the time when one bill had al- ready been sanctioned. The original measure provided for the election of three commissioners, whereas the present com missioners are five, all of whom were appointed by the governor.

ATTORNEYS HOPE TO DUST
 MONTGOMERY COMMISSION

Montgomery, December 7.-(Special.) J. Attorneys of this city who are attack ing the Montgomery commission govern ment bill, 'on the ground that it is un- constitutional because of being passed after another bill had become operative and because of the allegedly illegal pro- visions which permit of a recall, are san guine of having their point upheld by the Alabama supreme court. The case was submitted to the high court several weeks ago. since which time 1t has been in the hands of one of the jurists for an opinion, but as yet no indication has pointed to what action the court will take. It is expected that decision will be reached before the end of next week.
 Speculation IS rife throughout the state as to what effect any decision in re the Montgomery bill will have on the other commission government bills which per init of a recall. The recall attack. it is said, was made primarily in order that the status of the other commission gov
 ernment bills might be determined.

MURRAY SUBMITS
 CURRENCY REPORT Business Conditions Quite
 Satisfactory SOME HIGH RECORDS Aggregate Amount of Assets of the National Banks Increased Dur
 ing, Year Approximately 5.63 Per Cent
SOME HIGH RECORDS

Washington, December 7.-The gen eral business of the country as re- flected in banking operations was quite satisfactory during the year
 ending october 31 last, according to the annual report of Lawrence O. Murray, comptroller of the currency. submitted to Congress today.
 Mr. Murry records steady growth in the volume of business and the estab- lishment of some high records in this Econnection. He points out, however, that while augmentins some of the inn portant elements of banking during the year. business did not reach the aver age of increase in the past 10 years The comptroller makes the startling dec laration that 'the dishonest practice by officers of national banks of receiving personal compensation for loans made by the bank is a growing evil, and has already reached such proportions as to call for criminal legislation on the sub ject.'
 Tn this manner" he adds, "either the bank is defrauded of lawful interest which it would naturally receive or
 usurious interest is exacted of a borrow 
 CT by corrupt officers secret reward to the officers is sometimes delib- crate bribe for obtaining a loan on in- sufficient security
 MT. Murphy urges that the taking of
 money or other valuables in this connec-
 tion by bank officer be made an of- fense punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary.
 The aggregate amount of assets of the
 national banks increased during the year
 approximately s553, GOO or 5.63 per cent. Loans and discounts, the biggest item in banks resource, increased only 3.59
 per cent in the face of an average 10
 year increase of 652 per cent. Individual
 deposits representing 53 per cent of
 banks liability reached the highest point
 in history September 1 last viz: $5,-
 4S9,995,011 This high record, however, was
 an increase of only 669 per cent over
 the previous year as compared with a
 10 year average of 7.49.
 The banking power of the nation. in-
 cluding the operations of every bank, na-
 tional, state and private, is estimated by
 the comptroller at s21,334, 456, 79O, an in
 crease uuflng the year or $ZSb, ,2l2, ,507, or
 over 13 per cent
 The total banking capital is estimated
 at s2,032, All .0S5, and the total individual deposits at s16,5 730,351. The net earrings of the national banks during the fiscal year ended June 30 last were $1569S5,513, from which dividends were paid to the amount of $1146S5, 412 or Il .3S per cent on the capital, and 6S3 per cent; on. the combined capital and | surplus. | Only three national banks were placed | in the hands of receivers during the year ended October 31.
