When tha first trade excursion was
run to this city, in March, about 500
persons patrouized it. There were
many shoppers IL that number, hut a
large percentage came out of curiosity,
to see what we had 10 our city, taking
advantage of cheap opportunity to
do So
The second excursion brought in
the neighborhoud of 400 eycursionists,
according to the sales of tickets re
ported by the different agencies on the

Nearly all of that 400 came here to

We arc informed hy one of the most
responsible businesB men in the city
that the difference in tho two crowds OF
excursionists was most marked in this
essential particular. lie says that he
sold almost twice as much on the second
excursion day as he did on tina first,
although only about half as many per
sons came to the city.
Another merchant, who has one OF
the largest houses in the city, declares
that since this trade agitation hogan a
day seldom passes that he does not shin
something to lower Delaware or the
Eastern Shore of Maryland. lie gives
the credit to the excursions, and says
that he will cheerfully contribute 10
whatever sum may be needed to con
duct them monthly for an indefinite
period. Relative to the contributions
made by him in the past he states that
the money has brought him returns
away in excess Of the legal rate of in
terest, and he is not sure that the prin-
cipal sum invested has not also come
back to him in full.
One tradesman notified the down
State shoppern that he would pay their
car fare if they purchased goods in
sufficient quantities, STIMULATING the
minimum amount of the bill OF goods
which would entitle them to that con-
aideration. lie has had customer after

An agreement has hsen reached be

City Electric Co. anu the promoters OF

sideFation. This agreement removes
the new company from the field as a
competitor ami grants to tho old com
pany the opportunity to put into use
the heating system for which the patent
rights were held by the new company.
The consideration under which the
charter passes into the hanus OF the old
company is reported TO he $40. 600.
This charter is looked upon as valuable
acquisition, containing US it docs
broader provisions than the old com
pany's charter. Although at present
there may be no actual consolidation,
yet 10 time such result may be at
tained. Preston Lea and willard Sauls'
bury were actively interested in the
new company.
The deal looking to the present ar
rangement has been under way for some
time. Owing to differences Of opinion
OIL the subject. several of the directors
OF the old company resigned their
places.
A feature Of the movement for an
agreement was the elforta of certain
