London, Jan. 14.
'A big drop in the price of yarn—estimated at 60 per cent.—is forecasted from Belfast, in consequence of the lapse of an agreement between British and Continental spinners, by which a free market is created. It is anticipated that this will have favourable effects on the linen trade, and that there will also he a fall in the price of linen articles of 35 per cent. It is thought that yarn manufacturers and merchants will be helped over their losses, if necessary.—Reuter.
