New Banks.

The banking industry seems to
have received fresh impetus since
the new goldbug law was passed
by the last congress. New banks
are springing up in all quarters. A
new bank has been put in operation
at Havre de Grace, and one has
been organized at Port Deposit.
The very latest is a movement to
organize the second National Bank
at Rising Sun. Upwards of $50, 900
in stock has been promised. There
is some rivalry between the Sun
and Nottingham, Pa. At which
place the new bank will be located,
if at all, is not yet determined.

AT the Delaware College com

On Thursday of last week Sheriff
Price sold at the Court House
door, Elkton, race track No. 3, at
Iron Hill, to Geo. A. Blake, Esq,
for $125. The tract contained
16 14-1OO acres of land, and was
assessed to Charles F. Gould. This
was the last one of Elkton's gam
bling enterprises, which were to
bring prosperity to the venerable
borough.
1t is now almost certainty that
the trolley road from Elkton to
Chesapeake City will be built this
summer and fall. The capitalists
who offered to take all of the stock
renewed their offer when the books
were reopened and drove over the
ground on which the road is to be
built. After the six mile stretch
between Elkton and Chesapeake
City is built the portion to Cherry
Hill will be constructed and event
ually it is probable the tolley will
be continued in both directions.
While clearing brush on Elder
Park, Elkton, last week, John
Moore killed a black snake which
measured over five feet in length.
Here was the first specimen in
natural history, and grand one
too, furnished without cost, de-
stroyed wantonly. A fine reptile
ruthlessly destroyed. The black
snake is an entirely harmless rep
tile, and this fine, big fellow would
have been a great attraction to
visitors, to see him twining round
and sliding over the trees in the
"park," occasionally swallowing a
frog. The future ZOO we fear will
not soon materialize under such
bad management. The next victim
we may expect will be green
heron, shot as he flies up the creek,
and which would be an interesting
object to park visitors, gracefully
winging his way, intent on catching
the sportive minnow.

ADVANCE OF FOURTEEN POINTS.
Cotton Market Went Soaring at The
Opening.

Those who expected jump in the
cotton market yesterday were in no
wise disappointed when the first dis
patches of the morning showed an adj
vance of fourteen points with further
gains later on. This, of course, Great
ed an active demand for the staple and
sales of cotton were numerous.
In fact, it went without any trouble
and the cry was still for more.
Americas warehousemen had no diff
fculty in getting % for ! the best
grades offered, while fancy article,
perhaps, would bring even better
price.
This is the top notch reached here
this season and is indeed a good price
for cotton. The farmers evidently
think so and are letting it go at the
present quotations. It is $50 per bale
more than was paid for it year ago.
and as long as the market remains
where it is they are disposed to sell.
Many believe, however, that ten
cents will be reached ere the end of
this month.
