Remarks. The prevalence of the cold weather through the month, up to 

 this time, has caused some advance on most of the princi[)ai articles. Large 

 quantities have been shipped South, and the market appears to be much 

 brisker than usual. Potatoes have been taken in large quantities for ship- 

 ping, and altliough the stock here has been large, the prices .have advanced 

 considerably, an(i become more firm. Perhaps it will be thought that we exag- 

 gerate, when we state that nearly twenty thousand bushels have arrived since 

 our last report. But such is the fact, and have been taken, by the cargo, at 

 Jifly-Jive cents per bushel. Turnips are doing better; those washed and 

 fine in good demand. Onion.«, although the stock is much diminished, re- 

 main the same. Very few are now wanted. Radishes come to hand in 

 abundance, and of better quality than former crops. The s|)ring stock of 

 Cabbages is nearly exhausted ^ but prices remain the same. Spinach is more 

 abundant. Dandelions have been brought forward in large quantities, and 

 sold at twenty-five cents per peck. Of Squashes there is but a small stock ; 

 a few fine ones we observed to-day, which were brought from New Hamp- 

 shire ; they had been kept exceedingly well. Some Limas are still in the 

 market. The West India kind, are now generally taken. Sales of Ap|)les 

 are very brisk, and prices advanced ; large quantities are wanted for sliip- 

 ping; pearmains are all gone. Pears for baking are yet to be had, but the 

 demand for them is not great. Cuciunbers we have not yet put in our quo-. 

 taJions, but we observed a few to-day ; they were held lU fifty cents each. 

 Cranberries are very scarce; the last were taken at $10,50 per barrel.
