Remarks. The market is plentifully .'supplied with almost every variety 

 of esculent vegetable and fruit of the season: good fall harvests are 

 now anticipated, and the supply will probably be equal to all demands. 

 Potatoes are now quite plenty, and selling very low. Onions have ac- 

 quired a good size, and are to be had by the bushel or in larger quan- 

 tities: some thousand bunches of old ones yet remain on hand. Cab- 

 bages, owing to the late rains, are very fine. Cauliflowers are yet scarce. 

 Beans of most kinds are plenty; Sievas connnand a good price. Tom- 

 atoes are abundant, and are now sold cheap. Canada erookneck squashes 

 have come to hand since our last in considerable quantities, but they 

 have not yet arrived at maturity. 



Of apples, the cro]) this year is very great; and since our last, they 

 have been plentiful iu the market. Pears are also exceedingly abund- 

 ant, and of fine appearance; what are termed Jargonelles, are all gone, 

 and the English Catherines or " Katterns," as they are better known by, 

 now take their place; we observed a few Bartlett's, but they were very 

 inferior, and not near ripe: we arc sorry that they should be sent in 

 before they are half grown; as it tends to injure the character of such a 

 good pear, to force it into market, green and flavorless. Peaches from 

 New York are plentiful, as arc also Green Gage plums, from the same 

 place. Grapes are now more abundant, and ol'good color and flavor. Wa- 

 termelons and muskmelons have just been received, grown in this vicinity.
