ChesteFtoWn, Md, July 5. -Blightsd
crop prospects, scattered leaves and
mutiliated vegetation mark the path
of the most severe visitation of bail
which has been experienced in Kent
county in many years. The cloud burst
over ChestertoWn at 4. u p. m. Sunday,
and for five minutes hailstones ranging
in size from that Of grain Of corn to
the proportions OF guinea egg covered
the ground. The blades Of growing corn
were cut into shreds, young fruit was
mutilated and damaged, and tomato and
other vines were almost ruined. The
hail centre seems to have been over
Chestertown. though considerable
damage was done in Quaker Neck ana
Worton. The damaged area, however,
is limited. and in destructiyeness the
storm was not as severe as other storms
of recent date. A fine field Of corn on
the farm of David Ford, in Quaker
Neck, was ruined, another field was
damaged, and crops on the farms of
Mrs ~ A. Wilkins and |. r. LeaVen-
ton we're badly damaged. 1t is difficult
to ascertain at this time the full ex-
tent of injury to Kent couaty's crop
interest. A rainstorm lasting several
hours accompanied the hail

STORM DAMAGE AT CAMBRIDGE.

Cambridge, Md, July s,-Between
and o o'clock Sunday afternoon this
section was visited by one of the most
terrific storms that has been witnessed
here for years.
Trees and shrubbery were torn down
all over town. A large spruce in the
graveyard of the Episcopal Church was
wrung off about 20 feet from the ground,
and another Large tree near Capt. Zeb
Andrews store Was torn up by the
roots. A large silver poplar standing
in front Of James Wallace's office was
blown down directly on the dwelling
of George A. Smith, but no serious
damage was done to the mouse.
While the storm was at its height,
the hose tower of the fire engine house
was blown down, falling directly on a
carriage shed belonging to 7. q. Eator
Il Son. The tower was full of hose at
the time, hut so far as can be seen
neither the hose nor the fire bell is
much damaged. The loss of this tower
will be q severe blow 10 the treasury Of
the town, as the insurance is only
against fire, and not accident. 1t will

NEW COTTON CROP LATE.
Moreover, There is a 6 Per Cent Re
 dnction of Acreage.

New York April s.-(Special )-The highest prices reached this season for cot ton have today been reported and the market closes at the top.
 Today's advance is, in my opinion. but a foretaste of what is yet to come. The figures of the visible supply on Friday will. I think. be startling and sensational. R. q. Dun & Co. say that their reports in- dicate decrease of acreage for the next crop, with smaller sales of fertilizers and a backward season. My own very ex- haustive inquiry fully confirms this. The new crop is nearly three weeks late and the indicated acreage is per cent less than last year.
 The world consumes 225,0 bales weekly. If the crop shall prove to be three weeks later. then an additional 615000 bales will be required out of this years supply, al- ready manifestly inadequate. If consump- ton continues at the present rate, there will be no cotton left by the 18th of July. as receipts are falling off with an unan- unity and abruptncss that is entirely confrmatory of short crop estimates. Two years ago cotton sold at over II cents pound upon q situation much less acute than will almost certainly develop this year. It seems idle to anticipate the cul- imitation of the present advance as long as the consumption continues undimin- ished. Theo. H. Price.
