Remarks. — Potatoes have come in considerably plenty, and generally very 

 good; the supplies from the eastward, this fall, have been uncommonly large, and 

 still continue so. Tliose raised in the vicinity of Boston, not quite as good as in 

 some seasons. Radishes have not yet come to hand. Lettuce has come in some, 

 but not very plenty yet; the prices are, however, moderate. Brocoli and cauli- 

 flower are very scarce, and much sought after; these delicious vegetables are now 

 much more used than heretofore, and are likely to become universal favorites. 

 Onions have come in abundantly, and in most excellent order; the prices are very 

 low this season, though, for the last two or three they have been uncommonly 

 high. Cabbages are very large and good. Turnips are very fine, and prices mod- 

 erate; those washed and cleaned command higher prices. Squashes are poor, 

 owing to the very early frosts, and consequently not ripened well ; the market has 

 been supplied with them in great abundance, but they are now becoming quite 

 scarce. Probably before spring, unless some imported ones are received, tliose 

 remaining on hand will be in great demand. Apples are very scarce, and those 

 fair and in fine order, much wanted. All kinds keep uncommonly well tliis sea- 

 son, owing, undoubtedly to the moderate crop. Very few Pearmains in the mar- 

 ket ; Greenings have been the most plentiful, and Russetts in considerable abun- 

 dance. Pears for baking are tolerably plenty, but contmue to bring good prices. 

 Choice varieties are very scarce : we observed a few very fine old St. Germains, 

 which readily brought the prices named in our quotations. Chestnuts are in good 

 demand, scarce, and are very high. Other kinds of nuts are very plenty.
