Chamber of Industrj.
At the meeting of the Chamber of
Industry, held last night at the City
Hall. Mr. Oscar Pearsall presiding,
the special committee on the drum
mer's tax law reported that they
had sent a memorial to the last Gen
eral Assembly, against the proposed
bill, and that the bill had been de
feated. The President read the list ef
standing committees heretofore pub
iished, to which the committee on
immigration is to be added, consist
ing of Messrs. J. H. Sharp, T. M.
Emerson, GL P. Cotchett, C. P.
Mebane and M. Cronly.
The report of the committee on
advertising was read, showing that
in addition to other matters 15,000
cards were being printed for distri
bution abroad, stating that the ap
propriation-for $150,000 to encour
age new enterprises had been pass
ed and setting forth the advantages
of Wilmington.
Mr. IredeM Meares moved that the
advertising committee take under
consideration the advisability of
publishing Major W. L. Young's
pamphlet on the Semi -Tropical Area
of North Carolina, setting forth the
advantages of this part of the State..
The motion was adopted and Major
Young expressed his willingness to
furnish the matter for publication.
Mr. R. W. Hicks said that parties
in Baltimore desired to establish a
cracker factory in Wilmington if
encouragement is given. The mat
ter was referred to the committee on
manufactures.
On motion of Mr. R. W. Hicks, a
committee on freight rates was ap
pointed, consisting of C. W. Worth,
Iredell Meares, W. J. Woodward, R.
W. Hicks and J. Allen Taylor.
The establishment of a female
seminary was discussed, but no ac
tion was taken.
Mr. j. M. Forshee,-secretary, re
ported courtesies shown Mr. C. B.
Lewis of the Detroit Free Press in
behalf of the Chamber of Industry,
and also, that at a joint meeting of
the Chamber of Industry, Chamber
of Commerce and Produce Exchange
an invitation had been extended to
the Florida Sanitary Commission to
visit Wilmington, and that the re
ception committee appointed bad

they passed through, and that it was
probable that thejr would stop here
on tueir return.
of the Exchantr.3, and in my opinion
it would be more satisfactory, in the
long run, to make the assessment
equal upon all members. Every
member of the organization, I think,
derives enough advantage from the
association to repay him for his
equal share of the expenses. Most
of us, probably, save many times
the amount in avoiding the costs of
law suits, which are now almost
unknown, or unheard of, between
members of this Exchange.
Just here for a moment I pause to
direct our thoughts to the memory
of those who were of us and with us
one year ago, but who have since
then, one by one, crossed over "the
river that flows all around the
world." No more can we hear the
"voice that is still," or "feel the
touch of the vanished hands," but
we can contemplate the lesson of
their lives, and with reverence name
their names: Chas. S. Love, Adrian
H. VanBokkelen, Robt. R. Bridget,
Wilkin Roddick.
The receipts of cotton to April 1st
are about 17,000 bales short of last
season, to the same date, and while
this is to be regretted there is some
consolation in the fact that the loss,
can sav, was caused by an un-
! fortunate accident at one of our
compresses, which disabled it for
nearly six weeks in the midst of the
eot.ton season, and it is believed that
but for this sudden and unavoidable
occurrence our receipts of this most
important staple would show a gain
instead of a loss.
Receipts of turpentine products
also show a small loss, but this is
noc unexpected. While the price of
spirits has ruled fairly well, the over
production of rosin, lu this State
and South of us, has had the inevi
table effect to lower the price, and
made it unprofitable for the manu
facturers in f-onie localities to send
it to market.
The mixing of spirits turpentine
with petroleum is just now agitat
ing the turpentine trade and the ex
changes at other leading markets
are taking steps to protect the trade
from injury, through this proposed
manipulation. A committee of your
Exchange has the matter under ad
visement, and without wishing to
forestall their action, or that of the
Exchange, I think it best to "make
a plain statement" here and put our
dealers right before the world, both
at home and abroad.
Nobody claims that mixing tur
pentine and petroleum is wrong, but
to put the mixture, by any process,
upon the markets as pure turpen
tine is wrong, and no amount of ar
gument as to its use or value can
make it right, and I believe I voice
the sentiment of this entire Ex
change when I say that it will not
be countenanced here. All spirits
sold in this market will be subjected
to rigid tests as to its purity, and
we call upon all producers and man
ufacturers to co-operate in uphold
ing the character of the trade to the
measure of its past high standard.
Leaving out othei considerations I
am sure it will pay in the end. As
I said in my report a year ago we
must, from causes well known look
to cotton principally to increase the
export trade of Wilmington.
I have an abiding faith in the ad
vantages of this port, and believe
that with our present facilities, cer
tainly to be enlarged in the near
future by the completion of the
Gape Fear & Yadkin Valley Railroad,
now being rapidly extended to this
port as its deep water terminus, and
by the building of the OnslowRoad,
which we are assured will be done
shortly, we can look forward con
fidently to increase 1 business and
prosperity.
The establishment of the Annual
Encampment of the State Guard at
Wrightsville, brought about thro
the liberality of our railroad and
business men, in buying and pre
senting to the State a site for the
purpose, will bring Wilmington into
more intimate relations with the
people of the whole State than we
have ever enjoved before, and expe
rience thus far shows that the bet-
I
manner in which he had discharged
the duties of his position and it was
ordered that it be spread on the
minutes and a copy furnished the
daily papers for publication.
Col. Moore also moved that that
portion of the report of the Presi
dent, referring to the manipulation
of spirits turpentine and petroleum,
be adopted as the report of the
committee appointed on that
subject and that the same be
endorsed as the sense and action
of this Exchange. Carried unani-
Lmously.
On motion, the attention of the
President, the Board of Managers,
and the Telegraphic Report Com
mittee was called to the matter of
the telegraphic market quotations.
While commending the improve
ment In same darfng the past year
they were urged to give closer at
tention to these reports and also to
correspond with the Company now
erecting a new line South with the
view of inducing them to extend
their line to this city.

of this Exchange for the ensuing
year:

The Mayor called upon Mr. CutJ
lar, City Attorney,to explain certain
suits for delinquent taxes brought
by J. I. Macks, Esq. . in whose hands
the tax books had been placed for
the collection of these taxes. After
discussion and explanation, showing
that the city was being put to great
expense in the niatter.it was decided
to postpone action until the next
regular meeting of the Board.
Petition of J. F. Garrell and others
for reduction of rent in Third Ward
market, was referred to the Market
