Corn and Wheat Prices Drop.

The price of both wheat and corn took
IA tumble on the floor of the Chamber of
Commerce Monday.
Wheat sold at 10! cents a bushel, Il drop
of cents from Saturday. Corn sold at
All and 4S cents.
Heavy receipts, movements in liquida-
ton and the usual midsummer dullness af-
fected the market. A dispatch to the
Baltimore "Sun" from New York stated
Corn broke to-day from 3 to cents a
bushel on the announcement that heavy
rains had fallen all over the big corn
States, breaking the drouth just in time to
prevent a crop disaster. Speculative
holders of the staple, and there were
many, became demoraliZed at the dizzy
plunge of prices and threw over large
blocks of corn in the hope that they
might get out free from loss. Total trans
actions at New York reached the big sum
o! 1923 900 bushels. September corn, clos
ing Saturday at 40! cents, fell to 45s cents
at midday A small fraction of this was
regained later the market closing at 464
cents. Seeing their opportunity shippers
bought heavily GU the define, and it was
said took upward of 210 loads for all
export business in a year or two"

The Washington and
Potomac X. X.

Wednesday the Washington and roto-
| mac Railroad was sold ut public sale at the
courthouse door here by the Union Trust
Company, of Philadcl phia, trustee, under
decree of the United States Circuit Court,
District of Maryland, in foreclosure pro
ceedingS. The auctinneer was lanes ii.
+. Mitchell, Esq.
The road was hou ght in by Charles b.
Collier, of Philadelphia, acting, as is be
lcved, for syndicate of bondholders
who intend to reorganizc the company
and complete the road from Washington
city to Point Lookout, with a branch to
Espcranza, on Drum bay.
This road for the past 20 years been in
litigation more or less, and Il decree was
passed May % last appointing the Union
Trust Company, of Philadelphia, trustee,
to sell it.
The property sold was all of the rail
road of tho Washington and Potomac
Railroad Company, beginning at Point
Lookout, at the confluence of the Poto-
mac river and the Chesapeake bay in St.
Mary's county, Maryland, and running
thence to the city of Washington. About
81 miles of this road has been built and is
now in actual operation from Brandy
wine, a station of the Baltimore and Po-
tomac Railroad, in Prince Georges county
to Mcchanicsvile, st. Marys county.
The State of Maryland has SIG, 0oo in
vested in this road, being the money
which was appropriated for building
through the counties of Prince Georges,
Charles and St Mary's, for which the
State holds the amount of the common
stock ut the present time. Mr.. Collier
stated that when reorganization is per
fectcd new stock to the amount owed to
the State would be issued to the State.
The road, or its predecessor. was char
tered in 1868, and has had quite check
cred career, being parallelcd and fought
financially by proposed roads, which.
aside from being chartered, have never
accomplished anything but attempting to
defeat or impede the efforts of the Wash
incton and Potomac. 1t was stated by
Mr.. Collier that if it had not been for
misrepresentation made at the last SEES
sion of the Legislature, which would not
grant the extension of time asked for,
the road would now have been completed.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portions of the ear. There
is only one way to cure Deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an intlamcd condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inllamcd you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can

normal condition, hearing will be destroy
