CRUDE ENI1NE-lnf1uenc
ed by the advance of Spirits Turpen-
tine and Rosin, the market has ruled
frmer during the week, and Hard.
Yellow Dip and Virgin have advanced
80 cents. Aside from this there were
no important features worthy of
mention.
We desire TO call the attention of
shippers to this market, to small
fact which we think it in the province
of commercial journalist to do when
he sees that the shipper is not fairly
dealt with. Complaint is made by
our merchants that inspectors do not
offer them the crude article for sale.
It is alleged that contract exists be-
tween the distiller and receiver that
the crude shall be landed ON their
wharfs and yards as soon as it arrives,
and the prices which arc then current
shall be the compensation therefor.
Several of our shipping merchants in
form us that they would frequently
pay an advance for the article, but
ed them. We merely mention the
above facts for the benefit of those to
whom it pertains. At the close to-
day the market is firm at 81 60 for
Hard and 81 60 for Yellow Dip and
Virgin. The receipts for the week
were 1922 bbls, against 3, 215 bbls for
last week. The exports for the week
were 434 bbls, against 400 bbls for last
week. The stock in yard and afioat
is 2, 200 bbIs, against 1,721 bbls for
last week. The sales for the week
were as follows

A Voice from Onslow.

A friend at Onslow writes a verv
earnest appeal in behalf of railroad
COMMISSION between WILMINGTON and
that county. He seems to feel most
earnestly the want of line of road
running at least as far as Snead's
fefry, py the Sound route. He has
conversed very generally with leading
citlzens OF his county and nearly every
man he has spoken to is very much in
favor OF the project. Tt would put
Their turpentlne, tar, cotton, corn. fish
and oysters IN our market at yery low
rates (our correspondent says Is cents
per barrel), and would open M and
enable them to utilize their vast forests
OF hickory, oak, ash and pine, and
cypress and juniper, SO much OF which
now Les dead and rotting for the want
OF a market. 1t would be for them an
easy and cheap mode Of public con-
veyance by means of which they might
leave Sneads Ferry and reach the CITY
III two hours. Besides, the perishable
productions of that section could | e
brought fresh into our market without
first having been hauled over a long
and sandy road, under q glazing sun in
Summer and amid frost and ice IN
Winter. The mails would also be much
more frequent, perhaps delivered
daily, fact which our correspondent
kindly asserts would put the Journal
at almost every freside in the county.
Our friend further states that the
people of his section would do all in
their power to aid i'll the good work;
those who are able to do so by sub
scrlbing to the stock of the Company;
those who have no money, but lands,
by devoting them literally to the en-
terprise, and others, who have neither
money nor lands, by shouldering their
axes and working out their own sub
scriptions.
We can assure our friend and cor
respondent that the project of rail-
road to Onslow is not more earnestly
hoped for by the people of that
county than it is by the mercantile
community, and the citizens generally,
here i'll Wilmington. One attempt was
made, and it failed, but that IS no
reason why other efforts should not
be put forth in the enterprise.
The one thing needed is money, and in
that we are all sadly wanting just now;
but we look forward to better times,
and We confidently believe that rail-
road to, or through, Onslow will be
one of the accomplishments Of the
near future.

ROSIN-There has been a decided
change in the rosin market for the bet
ter during the past week, and nearly
all grades have advanced. The adj
vance was slow, gradual and healthy,
and for the week reached 35 cents on
Strained, and about 25 cents Oh the
liner grades. The movement daily
was fair and buyers purchased readily
stock of Strained in first hands was
light and this seemed to check the
movement somewhat. On Wednesday
there was a slight reaction of feeling
in Strained but to-day at the close the
market may be written steady at 81 70
bid, and 81 80 asked.
The supply of foreign tonnage, for
which there is some demand, has de.

Tho meeting on Saturday night gave erprea-
sion to tho almost universal sentiment Of tho
people Of Chicago respecting the measures
requisite for tito proper protection Of tho city.
Briefly, these measures arc:
!. Tho destruction Of tho illegal wooden build
ings now within tho hre-limits AZ they existed in
October, 1871.
2. Tho destruction Of all wooden buildings
within the tlro-lmita as fixed by the ordinance
Of 1879 which have been illegally erected aince
that timo.
8. The extension Of tho are-llmits to the ter
ritorial boundaries, md tho prohibition OF the
removal OF wooden buildings from one point to
another within the city.
4. The construction Of wido avenue Or bou1o-
ward separating the sold business part OF tho
city from tho other districts. found to be prao-
tlcable.
6. Tho reorganization Of the Fire Department..
l. committee Of twenty-five citizens waa ap-
pointed to plaeo these requests before the
Mayor, Common Council, and the Board Of Pub
lie Works. The Committee will perform that
duty to-day.
It can hardly b ncceBBary to commend the IT.
tentton Of tho city officers to theBo resolutions,
The Common Council have the authority to OK
tend the tiro-limits, aud this they can and ought
to do at tho meeting tonight. Tho removal Of
tho wooden buildings Illegally crectod within
tho flre-limits ia within tho scope Of executive
authority, resting with the Board Of Public
Works and the Mayor. It Eomaius to bs eeon
whether those officers have the norve to perform
their duty in tho promises, Of. rather, the norve
to neglect 1t.
The reformation OF tho Fire Department. Ia
mattor OF sorious concern. Tho Common Coun-
Gil have little or no control over that subject.
