Remarks. The market continues to be well siijiplied with its various ar- 

 ticles, considering the prevalence of the cold weatlier. A slight increase in 

 prices on most of tlie market productions, will naturally take place as the 

 season advances, and the winter stores become exhausted. Good Potatoes re- 

 main scarce and nearl}' the same as in our last. Common kinds are tolerably 

 plenty ; prime Eastport are much wanted, and command a slight advance from 

 our last ; there are many stored about in dift(3rent places, but they have mostly 

 been frozen. Turnips are sufficiently plenty. Onions are in great demand and 

 very few to be had ; the prices have advanced considerably, as will be seen by 

 our quotations. This was not expected from the great supplies in the fall, 

 and the very depressed rates at which they sold. Beets, Parsnips, &c. are 

 plenty. Radishes come to hand more abundantly and of finer quality. 

 Cabbages are not so plenty as they have been ; and fine Drumheads com- 

 mand high prices. Broccoli and Cauliflowers are much sought after, but 

 there are very few to be had, especially those of fine quality. Celery has 

 .idvanced a shade ; much of that stored for spring use has been frozen, and 

 consequently injured in flavor. Lettuce now comes in much more plentifully, 

 and prices have decreased. Squashes continue in great demand, and the 

 winter supplies having become nearly exhausted, prices have advanced ; none 

 of the true Canada are to be found in the market. Pot and Sweet Herbs are 

 not generally in great demand ; Parsley, however, is much sought after. Ap- 

 ples are scarce and much wanted, particidaily for shipping, and )»rices have 

 continued to increase since our last. Very few Pears of any kind are to be 

 found in the market. A few of the old Iron Pears for baking, command the
