BODY OF LITTLE
 CHILD IS FOUND
Coroner Brasher's Theory Is That Little Girl Was Murdered
 By a Man

The dead body of a 6-weeks-old white girl infant was found yesterday morn. ing in culvert ander the tracks of the Alabama Great Southern railroad. The skull had been crushed and the officers beliewe that it had been murdered. Further investigation of the affair by Coroner Brasher established that fact beyond doubt
 Near the little body was a basket of clothing, all new The child was well dressed although there were no marks on her clothing by which she might be identified. The body was taken to Lige Loy's parlors where it is being held pending Identification.
 Coroner Brasher is much incensed over the find and requests that anyone who has heard of or knows of a miss ing child in their community to notify his office. He is determined to get to the bottom of the murder and will not hold the inquest for several days. In the meanwhile he is seeking to identify the body.
 It is the theory of the coroner that the infant was given to someone with The understanding that it was either to be left on the steps of some residence or to be placed in home. Instead of doing this the father murdered it. Cor oner Brasher does not believe that the mother knows anything of the murder.
 All efforts to identify the body by the clothing found with it has failed. All of the clothes were brand new with the exception of chrocheted cap. The skull was crushed, but the face was not disfigured and Coroner Brasher be- lieves that the body will be identified.

 MT. White had returned to Birming- ham Sunday from a trip. and when seized with the attack of paralysis was walking past the Florence hotel cor ner about o'clock on the evening of that same day.

He was quickly re- moved to his room at the Jefferson hotel and on the following afternoon taken to a local infiramry He never regained consciousness after being car ried to the hospital, and his condition gradually became so serious as to make it advisable to call in the immediate members of the sick mans family. They were at his bedside last night when he died
 MT. White was well known in Bir- mingham, where he had made large number of friends. He was highly es- teemed by the company with whom he was associated.

VISIBLE COTTON SUPPLY SHRINKING Bulls Realize Their Predic- tions of Big Cotton
 Scarcity

New Orleans, May 19.-Today, for the the first time since the movement of the last crop became heavy, the visible sup ply of American cotton went below last years low record, the figures being D. 045.991 bales, against 2054.641 year ago.
 This shrinkage of the visible supply of levels of the supply year ago has been predicted many times in the last few months by bull leaders like Frank B. Hayne and W. P. Brown, but was not thought possible by leaders on the short side of the cotton market who were im- movement among the mills of the country. Leading bulls today explained the statis- tical position by stating that great as the curtailment may have been in this coun- try, it has not been great enough to meet the small supplies of cotton left, and that, to no small extent, the curtailment in this country has been offset by the record breaking consumption of cotton in Eng land, where, according to private cable messages from Liverpool and Manchester, mills are running full time and have orders ahead that will keep them on that time. if supplies of cotton permit. until next December.
 Today's weekend statistics caused more than the usual amount of gossip in the local market Mill takings for the week were larger than expected, being put at 2o6,000 baless against 1S4,0O0 this week last year, and in consequence of the small movement into sight for the week. 73 ,923 bales, against 74.3S1 this week last year, put big hole in the visible supply, the decrease for the week amounting to 144,- 253 bales, against a decrease of 107,61s bales this week last year In reviewing the statistical position 1t was pointed our that while the season started off with a smaller visible supply than last season, the visible on September 1 being 7s2,OOO bales, against 1.472O0O on September in 1909, the larger crop raised this last sea son, compared with two seasons ago, soon piled up a comparatively large visible and after awhile made it materially larger than the visible comparisons of year ago. Then 1t was that the bear side claimed that there would be onugh cotton to go around, especially with the curtail- ment threatened The bulls claimed, however. that long before the first of September this year the visible would be below the visible a year ago and today their predictions came true. They now claim that the visible supply on the first of next September will be one of the smallest since the civil war.

Dun's Report

New York, May 19.-R G. Dun & Co. s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say
 Two events of the week have important influence upon the business situation in asmuch as they remove much of the un- certainty which has served to retard en- terprise and discourage activity. These events are the supreme court decision in
 one of the cases involving the status of
 big corporations under the antitrust law, and the prospects of the restoration of peace in Mexico For the first time in many weeks the reports from the leading trade centers are more buoyant in tone though it would not appear that the ac- tual gain in volume of transactions has been much. This improvement in busi- ness sentiment appears in the reports from the iron and steel trade, where. in spite of continued contraction and price concessions in pig iron, a better feeling is noted with some increased orders from the railroads.
 the textile markets which report some improvement. notwithstanding the con tinued curtailment due largely to the high cost of production and the conservative purchases by consumers The export movement of cotton goods continues well ahead of last year and more active buy ing of printed fabrics has followed the large purchases of print cloths a Weel, ago.
 Some factors of strength have de- veloped in the wooden goods market. among them notice by leading pro- ducer of mems wear that 1t could re- ceive no more orders after June l. and the notable activity of some other mills making novelties or specialties in that class of goods.
 A better feeling pervades the entire footwear situation. Shoe manufactur CTS are placing larger contracts for leather, which would indicate that re- serve contracts in hand have increased. The movement, however, is principally for tan shoes and specialties Larger individual lots of leather are moved and prices show a frmer trend on some varieties, owing to scant supplies. Both large and outside tanners have ad- vanced prices on hemlock and union sole. The domestic hide markets do not show the activity of week ago. but prices continue strong at advances for both packer and country take-off. Foreign hides and skins have received somewhat more attention as there is not the disparity formerly existing be- tween Europe and the domestic market the latter having advanced appreciably in the last two weeks.

BUSINESS REPORTED

Dun and Bradstreet Issue
 Weekly Statements
IRON IS UNCHANGED
General Industry Shows Firm Tone But Real Improvements Are Barely Noticeable-Hopeful
 Feeling For Future

New York. May 19.-Bradstreets tomor- row will say:
 Events of the week apparently have been In a favorable direction. seasonable weather. good crop reports, except from a few sections where dry weather is a serious drawback, and judging from the early public and stock market reception thereof, good legal decisions, are the three features making for better immed- fate business and a more hopeful feeling as to the future. Still actual results so far are hardly up to sanguine expecta- tions.
 Retail trade has expanded, but the im- provement at best is late, and while some good reorders have been done by jobbers, the feeling is that retailers stocks have not been much broken. Jobbers' business has improved, mainly for wash goods and light underwear. More confidence has been engendered in wholesale trade and in some lines of cotton goods converters and manufacturers have taken hold more freely for fall, and even as far ahead as next spring.
 In general industry improvement, aside from a firm tone, is almost negligible. Iron and steel were not greatly changed. In- doed, while there is slight better buy ing of steel, mainly by railroads, pig iron is duller and weaker and short time is an element met with in many lines con- suming these products. Some observers still believe that clear view of crop out turn, more active employment in indus
 
 are necessary before general business will throw off the apathy it has shown for months past.
