DUNDEE TRADE, FEB 23.—During the past week
a pretty fair business has been doing in flax, at about our
last quotations. There has also been more demand for
yarns, but in most instances the sellers have had to sub-
mit to some seduction in prices. Linens of ull decriptions
are also moving off pretty freely, though prices are in
favour of the buyer. No arrivals from foreign ports
during the last eight days. By last accounts from the
Baltic ports, there was more firmness on the part of
the dealers in flax, The feeling was more in favour of
an advance than a decline in prices —Courier.
MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.—On Tuesday last, a
gentleman who had just taken a seat in the mail coach,
about to start from Princes-street to Carlisle, asked a
man, named Thomas Wright, who was lounging at the
coach ofilee, to get silver for two one pound notes. Wright
returned with change for one pound, and pretending that
he would go to another shop to change the other note,
he tit camped with it altogaber. On the same day he
was apprehended by the police in Toddrick's Wynd,
very much intoxicated, and 103. 7d. was found in his
possession. He was tried before acting Sheriff Cleg-
horn on Monday, and sentenced to be imprisoned for
s, sixty days.—Caledonian Mercury.
