SPIRITS TUPENTINE.- Since our review of Thurs
day last the market has ruled inactive, buyers
having shown scarcely any disposition to operate,
and as will be seen from our table of sales below
the transactions have been limited. On Friday
the market opened at decline of 2023 cents on
previous quotation, with sales at 5D78 cents and
on Saturday lowest figure was obtained for other
lots. Since then very little has been DONE and the
price has further declined. At the time of closing
our enquiries to-day Thursday the market is un-
settled owing to the unfavorable news from New
York, and quotations have decided downward
tendency. There is, however, only light stock in
receivers hands, and but little coming in. We
quote sales as follows:
