 Realty Convention

Hill Ferguson, of the Birmingham Real Estate exchange, stated last night that he had received telegram from Detroit stating that Birmingham and New Or leans were the only cities being con sidered by the nominating committee as the next place of meeting of the National Association of Real Estate exchanges. The national meeting of the Real Estate exchanges is a big affair as it Is attended by delegates from every section of the country that will number nearly 1000
 The Birmingham exchange has been very active for sometime in presenting tie claims and advantages of Birming- ham as suitable place for the 1916 meet ing of the national association and indi- cations are that Birmingham has fine chance to be selected. Mir. Ferguson states that the advantage lies with Bir- mingham as between this city and New Orleans, partly on account of it's geo. graphical location and partly from the fact that New Orleans has joined the association since the question of holding the national convention in the south was l cling considered.
