TRADE OF DUNDEE.—We have a continuance of
the demand for yarns and linens, and many kinds of the
latter are not to be had until made. The stock of linens
is smaller at present than for at any time these nine
years past. Flax of the common runs is in fair request,
and holders inclined to ask a small advance. The dates
from St. Petersburgh are to the 3d instant, from Riga to
the sth, both markets very firm, and the dealers asking
higher prices. The Memel letters are to the 6th inst.,
which say that that market is all but swept of flax.
THE IRISH MUNICIPALITIES.—It has been sug-
gested to us to recommend that, after the banquet, which
is to take place in Dublin on the 18th instant, all the
Municipalities in Ireland should, as an aggregate corpo •
rate body, have a grand state banquet in the metropolis
—the day to be hereafter determined upon by the Li-
berator and theseveral Mayors. We highly approve of
the suggestion, and trust that the various municipalities
will take the matter into consideration.—Drogheda
Argus.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was in a
dull state, but without any decided change in prices.
Exporters took 700 bales, inclusive of which the sales
were, 3,500 bales.—A large business was done in Rail-

There are not any late colonial arrivals to notice this
morning. We are glad again to notice the fact, that
the entries of vessels, with full cargoes, into the port of
London, are very large indeed. The same may be said
with respect to Liverpool, Hull, and Goole. A con-
siderable quantity of wheat and flour is coming in from
the United States and Canada. The arrivals from the
West Indies of sugar, rum, &c., are also very large in-
deed. The importation of tallow from Sydney is now
becoming an important article of freight. Its quality is
exceedingly good.
The timber trade at Liverpool seems to have been
very active lately, and which must be of considerable
importance to our colonies. A broker's report states,
that since our report on the 2d instant, the arrivals have
been 25 vessels, 12,308 tons register, viz.-11 from Que-
bec, 7 from St. John, and 7, chiefly laden with deals,
from other ports. The market has continued firm, and
nearly the whole have been readily sold on arrival. The
latest sales in Quebec have been at 17fd. to 174 d. and
18d. per foot ; four cargoes of St. John, of 20 inches
average, have been sold at 21d. to 21fd. per foot. Other
descriptions are also in demand, but there are no sales to
report.
The English Securities opened firmly this morning, but
the business doing is very small. Consols for imme-
diate transfer have been 991 to 994, and for time 994 i.
Exchequer Bills have been at the premium of 765. to 745.
The Kist India Bonds are 92 premium. Bank Stock for
Account is 207 to 2071, and India Stock realises 2844.
The Commissioners gave 994 for Consols.
The news from Madrid, as from Lisbon, alludes to
retrenchments in the Government expenditure, and
which it is hoped will not only be talked of, but carried
out. In the meantime when new loans are broached,
we may consider that we have proof positive of the re •
sources or revenue of the country being inadequate to
the expenditure, and we cannot but regard that as an
unfavourable position. The Spanish Bonds have been
flat again, the Five per Cents, at 234, and the Three
per Cents. at 344 to 4, the Passive Stock has been 51,
and the Deferred 13/k to f. Mexican Bonds have rallied
a little from yesterday's depression, and are 364- for the
Mates.
l'he Share investments still present a dull appearance,
relatively to the activity which prevailed a week or two
back. Even the new lines have this morning been in
less demand, though some of them continue at high
rates. Trent Valley are Bto 74, South Devon 4to 4i,
and London and York 21 to 24 premium. Birmingham
have been low as 13 premium, and Brighton 3 discount.
