Remarks. Since our last report, there has been but little variation in the 

 prices of the principal articles. Potatoes have advanced a little, but not enough 

 to make any alterations in our quotations. The continuance of the cold 

 weather, so uncommon in the month of IMarch, has prevented the arrival of 

 the usual spring supplies from the eastward. Onions continue scarce, and 

 are in much demand, and prices have increased considerably. Radishes are 

 more abundant and of much better quality than those brought in last month. 

 Gabbages continue scarce, and very few of good quality are to be had — fine 

 heads of the Red Dutch, command high prices. Of Broccoli and Cauliflow- 

 er there are none in the market. Celery is nearly gone. What litde remains 

 on hand is of inferior quality. Lettuces are plenty, especially of the Early 

 Curled Silesia. Spinaeh now comes in fine. Dandelions we have not named 

 in our quotations, although a few small lots have been brought in ; they sold 

 very readily. Crook-neck S(iuashes are about done for the season. A 

 few very fine ones, remaining in a few hands, command a high price. West 

 India Squashes have been received the last week or two in considerable 

 quantities, and sell at moderate rates. Apples have advanced a shade ; Bald- 

 wins are nearly all gone. A few of very superior quality are held at prices 

 much higher than our quotations. Cranberries are very scarce, and the 

 quantity in the market very small. But few Chesnuts remain on hand, and 

 those not very fair. M. T.
