BROWN LINENS IN COUNTRY MARKETS.—At Armagh, on the 24tIt

past. Goods were freely bought at fall rates and middle-priced
browns were rather dearer. At Lurgan, on the 25th inst., there was
a large supply of damasks and spot diapers ; the demand was not
brisk, and prices tending downwards. Bird•rye diapers were
scarce; a good demand, and prices firm. There was an average-
supply of lawns, and no change in demand or prices. At Ballymena,
on the 28th inst., there was a fair supply of goods, which were
better bought, without change in prices. With manufacturers stocks
of drills are luw, and prices statienary. Of light linens, for bleach-
ing, stocks are moderate, and demand not so brisk.
WHITE LINENS.—Stocks with bleachers are moderate, the demand
is improving, and prices without change. The home market con-
tinues satisfactory.

dee is still small, and a fair amount ot business has been done, espe-
cially for fine sorts, which are scarce; prices firm; Riga, fresh

to note in flax during the past week. The arrivals from Riga are
now becoming numerous. Few transactions have taken place 10
tow, owing, chiefly, to the smallness of stocks. Good quality is
wanted, and former prices are wet maintained. Yarns.—The de-
mand continues brisk at Dundee, and some sorts of both line and
tow is very prices still looking up. Linens are in excellent
request in the Scotch manufacturing district., at advancing prices,
weavers having, obtained higher wages. Manufacturers hold for aa
advance.

FOREIGN MARKETS. —Flax and Tow.—Our Ghent correspondent
reports that he has just Ni,ited the principal flax-growing districts of
Belgium. The weather, up to a few days since, was very favourable,
but the late heavy rains have done considerable damage to the grow.
ing flax, especially the early sown. Dry weather has again set in,
and it it continues for ten days snore, the greater part of the earl),
sown Sax will be pulled. Should rain not again come on, the damage
will be, to a great extent, remedied.
