COMPANY.
Address of the Executive Commit
tee OF the Wilmington Branch.

We publish to-day very notable
and admissible address issued by res
olution of the Board of Trustees OF
the Wilmington Branch of the above
named popular company.
This document will command atten-
tive perusal and we commend its
statements and arguments to the dill
| gent consideration of the people Of
North Carolina. The company has
just established a Branch in our city,
the cardinal objects of which are home
investments and the adjustment of
local losses. The officers and gentle.
men comprising the Wilmington Board
will be recognized as among our most
reliable and Influential business men,
and there is no doubt that the affsirs
of this Branch will be most faithfully
managed.
OF Major J. G. Winder, the General
Agent and Manager of this District,
we need say but little, as no man
stands higher as a thorough business
man and one OF unlmpeachable lnteg
rity. This company has established
very fine organizations in Raleigh and
IN Charlotte and has just invested very
largely in real estate III the last named
city. 1t has similar organizations ia
all the great commercial centres Of the
South, extending from Maryland to
Texas. There seems TO be pretty
general determination upon the part
of the business men of the South
to arrest the terrible drain upon our
resources and keep Southern capital
at home.
Outside of all the advantages of
home investment and friendly manage
ment, this company stands secoad to
none IN absolute sUIvency, and our
citizens will not only have allth ben
fits of home life company, but the
security Of strong and we'll establish
ed company, with an annual income
of over 81, 800, 000. We wish it ahun-
dant prosperity.

COMMERCIAL EPITOME. With
the CO onmsncement of the Winter
months, there is general feeling of
qualification that what has been a
very dull season in trade, as well as
in other respects, is rapidly drawing
to close, and all parties are now look
ing forward to an early and stirring
Spring business. There is yet no
change to note, however, but there
seems to be a general belief that bet
ter times cannot be- much longer de-
layed.
In our local market trade has been
quiet and inactive, though the markets
for most of the leading products have
been firm in tone, and former prices
have been fully maintained. Naval
stores and cotton have b en- active,
but other branches of trade are quiet.
The shipments of the principal pro-
ducts for the week show o slight in
crease of valuation over last week,
and were asfollows: 2, 456 bales cotton,
l55 casks spirits turpentine, 4, 925 bbls
Rosin, 4l9 bbls crude turpentine and
l30 bhls tar; against 1869 bales cot
ton, 183 casks spirits turpentine, 1919
bols rosip, 46 bbls crude turpentine
and 206 bbls tar, for last week.
Foreign freights are firm. The sup
ply of tonnage at hand is not large and
vessels are wanted

ROSIN--The market has been gently
oscillating during the week with alter
nate strength aud weakness apparent
in its general tone, but without huctu-
ations OF any considerable Importance
in values. The market was quite firm
early in the week and large sales
transpired, both for spot and future
delivery, but towards the middle of
the week there was general weak
ness TO be observed, and it required
considerab q exertion on the part of
buyers to sustain prices. Later still
there was an apprehensive feeling of
uneasiness as regards prices, and
dur ng the remainder Of the week the
market remained in this unsettled con-
dition, prices being dependent on one
or two buyers which way the market
would turn. At the close there is a
revival of feeling, and to-day strained
is quoted firm at 81 70 bid. Fine
grades have figured but little, and the
sales were small. There is not much
stock of rosins above F & G, and We
have heard of no transactions higher
than these grades. Quotations to-day
for the most part, are nominal.
The sales for the week were as fol-
lows:
Friday-Sales of l 1000 bbls Strained
at 81 10. and 1000 bbls, buyers op-
ton. (February), at 81 IS 2 bbl.
