VU0ItEU IECSS IF sSeeNOAS
 New York, July 26 - (UP)- The worst break in securities prices this year accompanied an avalanche of unconfirmed war rumors today in Wall street.
 Stock prices dropped 1 to 10 points in trading that reached a- round 3,OOO,O0O shares. Bonds had the widest shake out of the year with U. s. governments joining in the weakness. Wheat lost more than a cent a bushel.
 Traders were nervous before the opening. The Austrian crisis and assassination of Chancellor Doll fuss troubled a trading community already anxious. Brought condi- tions in the west, labor situations, weakened margin accounts, had placed the market in vulnerable spot for sharp bear drive.
 Thus when the opening gong rang the nervousness was appar- ent in irregular price movements. Rumors started. Wall street heard about troop movements from al most every nation in Europe. Wall street heard other things. Some were without foundation but this did not save the situation for sell ing orders came in waves.
