Remarks. The demand for potatoes has increased considerably since 

 our hist report ; they have come in of excellent quality. Turnips are 

 now plenty, and of fine size. Onions are very abundant ; few if any old 

 ones now reinain on hand. Beets and carrots are now brought in of 

 full size. Very few parsnips have as yet come in. Horseradish, though 

 not of excellent quality, is rather plenty. Cabbages are very large and 

 good this season. The first fine brocolis we have seen, have come to 

 hand the past week ; they sell quickly at quotations. Sieva and Lima 

 beans are tolerably plenty ; the latter will be more so, if we have no 

 early frosts. Tomatoes are in much demand, and a far larger quan- 

 tity, we have no doubt, has been .sold this season than any previous one. 

 Egg plants are not yet much esteemed. Squashes are good, and re- 

 markably cheap in price. Of apples the stock is plentiful ; fine Por- 

 ter's sell readily ; the price of common kinds is very variable, according 

 to excellence. Pears have been plenty throughout the season, and that 

 fine kind, the Seckel, much more abundant than heretofore. It is with 

 pleasure that we state that some of the new kinds, as the Capiaumont, 

 Gushing, &c., are now to be seen in the market ; St. Michael's are good 

 this season, and some very fine ones have sold for a dollar the dozen. 

 Bartlett's have been plenty since our last ; but they are now gone. 

 Peaches are rather scarce ; good ones selling readily at our prices. A 

 few (|uinces have been brought in. There are but few cucumbers, ex- 

 cept those used for pickling ; the price of the latter has advanced a
