| LINEN TRADE
The improvement noticed last week, says the Belfast Mercury, still continues in linens, both brown and white, but particularly in the former. Damasks and diapers were in good demand during the week, and in the Lurgan market on Thursday an advance of a halfpenny per yard was experienced. The exports for Lurgan to England 1348 packages thread and linen, to Scotland 138 packages ditto, and to other ports 18 packages. Yarns are steady; 233 bales were exported during the fortnight. The demand for flax is generally active, and prices in the markets of Armagh, Monaghan, and Cavan, are from 6s. 6d. to 10s. 6d. per stone of 16 lbs. For milled, and 5s. 6d. to 7s. for hand-scutched.

The information on this website is free and will always be so. However, there are many documents and records that we would like to show here that are only available for sale. If you would like to make a donation to the Lurgan Ancestry project, however small (or large!), to enable us to acquire these records, it would be very much appreciated. We could cover our pages in Goggle Ads to raise money, but feel that this would detract from the information we are trying to provide.
You can also help us to raise money by purchasing some of our ebooks on our sister website: www.genealogyebooks.com
The Lurgan Ancestry Project is a not for profit website, all monies raised from the site go back into it.
