Ballybay, and Cootehill, all being speedily bought up at 6s 2d to 8s
for hand-scutche4, and 73 9d to Its 61 for milled per stone of 16
lbs. 50 tons of low and medium milled were offered f r sale by
auctiras, on Ist inst„ but were withdrawn, the bids not meeting the.
views of bolding. Few transactions in Baltic flax have transpired
since our last, and prices are unchanged. Low quaetles are more
enquired for ; fine difficult to sell at the prices asked. Holders are
firm for all sorts. There were no arrivals last week. The total
arrivals di eat from Riga this season up to the present date amount
to 1,975 tons.
Tow is in better demand, and in some eases for earticular kinds
Is to 2s per cwt above last month's quotations has been paid.
YAners continue as in our last report, the consumption being aver..
age for the season.
BROWN Lierxes IN COUNTRY MARKETS.—Arrnagh. 29:11 ult., had
a larger supply than for some weeks past; all goods were I reely pur.
chased at full rates. Ballymena, on 2nd inst., showed a fair aver, ege
quantity; the demand good, and low priced more sought after, at a
small advance In 'mice ; finer qualities without change. At Lurgan,
on 31st nit., there was an average supply of spot diapers, which were•
in fair request, but prices receded a little; damasks were scarce,
but the demand teing dull, sellers had to give way slightly ; bird.
eye diapers were also in mall supply, and were sought after, chang-
ing hands at firm rtes; lawns without alteration. With manufac-
turers, drills are now very low in stock ; handkerchiefs in plentiful
supply ; light linens are rather scarce, and the demand has im-
proved. In goods for dyeing, and for Hollands stocks are wearing
low. Heavy linens are firm, and the quantity in manufactu; ere
hands is under average.
WHITE LlNENS—Bleachers hold small stacks. The demand is
good, but it has been found difficult to establish the late advaece.
The home market is healthy and regular. Goods for ex,,ort are
miring off
BRITISH MARKETS.—FIax and Tow,—At Dundee a fair busiress
is doing in flax, at former prices; PCM, -W4O 10s; PDC, .t'36 Os. No

no transactions to nate. Linens—The New York trade has begun,
and is expected to be good. At ILivana there is little doing, and that
