hail started at Watertown, ;. D., and continued
at intervals from that city to Troskey' near the
north line of Rock County. Here the storm

area. with hut few exceptions. there is not a
straw reported standing.
In this county six townships were struck by
the storm which destroyed fully one-thlrd OF
the crops in the county. While the storm
lasted less than ten minutes. between two and
three inches of hail fell, fairly beating the
grain into the ground Not spear OF grass
or grain was left standing. Corn stalks were
chopped down close to the ground and trees
were stripped of their leaves as clean as though
the season was mdwinter. On young trees
the bark was fairly peeled from the franks

ANOTHER HEAVY BREAK.
SHORTS DEPRESS PRICES.
Industrial and Railroad Stocks
Tumble-Rock Island Suffers.

Another heavy break occurred yesterday m
the stock market. industrials and inactive high
grade railroad issues being the principal suf-
ferers. apart from the securities of the Rock
Island system The total sales were under
three-quarters of a million, and the close found
prices at about the lowest Of the day. There
were the familiar reports about somebody in
trouble" a rather prominent firm and recog-
nized industrial being variously mentioned
These rumors were not confirmed.
The shorts were active during the day, and
succeeded in depressing prices all along The Iine'
and that some important interests had Eeen
obliged TO liquidate part of their holdings also
seemed apparent Semi-official announcement
was made in the course of the day that there
would be a large issue OF bonds by the Rock
Island perhaps as great as Sl4o0OoVoO; the
cash requirement. however. being small the
new bonds are TO be used largely for refund
ing. etc
Not only the Rock Island issues. but also the

caIy active on the decline. making new low

mite explanation. Colorado Fuel and Iron sold
down to 30 new low level on this movement.
It's decline was accelerated by the publication
Of an extract from the call for the annual meet
ing stating that during the last year this COM
pany had found it necessary TO raise money from
persons interested as stockholders and directors
by means OF loans and sales the inference be-
ing made that an issue Of new stock would have
10 be arranged for paying off these loans.
United States Steel common was another stock
which broke a record, it sold as low as .,
course which added to the unsettling and de-
pressing of sentiment.

ord lowering class selling at 46 its lowest price
since 1898.
A statement in rather positive language was
published by one of the news agencies, that Of
fetal announcement of the settlement of the diff

that any important change in the situation had
recently occurred was discredited in excellent
quarters, and the news bureaus statement was
