Chicao, July s1.z-Nearly 100000 bushels increase today in the United States visible supply of wheat burdened the market down. Closing figures were at a shade to ssc net decline. Latest trading left corn 1-16c to asc easier, oats off 1HGHsc to 7sc, and hog products varying from 121S@ 15c lower to rise of 21ac.
 The decided enlargement of the visible supply made the total amount of wheat immediately available 4t,3160oo bushels. an aggregate more than three times as much as there was on hand at the corresponding time year ago. Indeed the increase, if continued without abatement for another week, would be considerably in excess of the entire stock in the country 12 months previous. However, primary re- ceipts today showed a large falling off. Moreover cash wheat is being moved east from here now in liberal volume, chiefly lake to Buffalo. Before the weight Of the visible supply changes began to be felt sentiment was generally bullish, al though interest seemed to lag when the seaboard announced no response to cable offers of exports, condition which acted as an offset to estimates that the yield in Kansas would be surprisingly small.

COTTON MARKET
 CONTINUES ACTIVE
Old Crop Fluctuations Err ratic-Flurry of Shorts
 Brings Advance

New York, July 31.-The cotton mar lxet showed continued activity during today's trading and fluctuations were cratic particularly in the old crop po- sitions. It was the last day of trading in July and before business for that delivery was officially brought to an end at midday there was a furry of shorts accompanied by an advance of nearly 1 E cents per pound. August rallied sharply following this belated strength, but the interest remaining in July was too small to create any ex- citement and new crop deliveries paid very little attention to the sensational old crop fluctuations. The market closed steady at net advance Of 3 points on August, while later months were from 13 to 16 points net lower.
 The opening was easy at a decline of 3 points .on July, of 31 points on Au- months. with all months except July making new low records for the season under active southern selling, liquida- tion by some of last weeks buyers and in sympathy with lower cables. Shorts were heavy buyers at the decline for over the government report on Wednes- day and there was considerable sup port from trade sources, as a result of which prices slowly rallied from the lowest, but made little progress until just before midday when it became evi- dent that a few scattering shorts were still outstanding for July delivery. It seems that the demand was for less than 1000 bales, but buyers were sat- sified the price had shot up to 14.50c comparing with 12.90c, the low level of the season, and 13.O3c at the close on Saturday.
 Following the final splurge in July, August sold up to 11.ssc or A points above the low level of the morning on covering and bull support, but con- tinued southern selling held the new crop deliveries back, and after a rally from 10.S1c to 10.95c for October, or to within or 8 points of Saturdays finals the market eased off again in the late trading owing to continued fa- vorable crop accounts and reports that the new crop was being offered very freely for August shipment. August closed at 11.96c bid, but the new crop was only or points up from the lowest.

MAN ELECTROCUTED
 FOR KILLING GIRL

Dannemora, N. Y, July I.-Charles l.. Green, an Albany county farmer, was electrocuted today at Clinton prison for the murder of his 14-year-old daughter on a farm near New Scotland, year ago. The electrocution had been twice stayed by Governor Dix against the wishes of the condemned man, who told his counsel that he wanted to die. confession of Green wife that her unfaithfulness had led to the shooting failed to save him. Green went to his death calmly after expressing satisfacttion with the verdict of the jury which convicted him.
 It developed that Green had told his wife that under no circumstances should she give this information of her iniidelity on the witness stand, saying he would rather go to the electric chair than nave it known Efforts to have a commission appointed to examine into Greens sanity were without avail.
