LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
Despite the Rain n Good Business
with Few Price Changes.

The rain yesterday seemingly did not check
trade. especially in lines in which the holidays
create business. 1t was noticeable that the
wholesale houses, such dealers in notions and
confectioners, were very busy, and the grocers
never enjoyed a more satisfactory trade. The
dry goods houses pushing sales to good eff
feet Prices carry unusually steady tone, es-
pecially articles such sugars. coffees. fish.
canned goods and dried fruits. The mild weather
enables the commission houses to handle perish
able goods with much less trouble. but this has
its drawbacks. shipments of fruits and vege-
tables heavy as a month or more ago,
and stocks increase rather than decrease, as is
usually the case in December. Still, there is no
real glut in the market, but conditions are such
that there is no ground for advancing prices. No
changes have been made in dry goods. drugs and
poultry.

FOUND DEAD IN BED.
Rufus Il. King, an Old Resident, Ex-
nJres at tbe H. .Ssnn Hotel

pifes at the E-stOn Hotel.
Rufus T. King, an employe of the Gov
ernment Printing Office, and for the past
thirty-two years a resident OF this city,
was found dead in bed yesterday afternoon
at the Elkton Hotel, opposite the Pennsyl-
vaDia depot The remains were removed to
the morgue, and relatives Of the dead man
were notified. Death is supposed to have
resulted from natural causes. An autopsy
will be made today.
King was well known in this city. He
originally came from Fredericksburg, Va,
many years ago, and at one time he was
connected with one Of the Potomac steam
ers in the capacity of steward. For the
past four years King has lived at the Elk
ton Hotel being an intimate friend of its
proprietor, Mr. Rodfer. Yesterday when
he failed 10 appear during the morning,
nothing was thought of the matter. An
investigation in the afternoon about
o'clock resulted in finding the body. The
police were at once notified.
The dead man was married, and leaves
widow and four children, who are living
at Fredericksburg. Another daughter, by
his first wife. is married and resides OF
Virginia Avenue southwest, this city. She
is said to be very i'll, and it was thought
| hest to keep the news OF her fathers deatt
! from her last night.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There IS
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness IS
caused by an inflamed condition OF the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infIamed YOU have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed deafness is the result
and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh. which is nothing but an iniamed
condition of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
