Remarks. The fine weather of the present month has ripened off 

 crops uncommonly well — far better than was anticipated in September. 

 Potatoes are plenty, and prices are much reduced ; large quantities have 

 already arrived from the eastward ; — they are of excellent quality. 

 Sweet potatoes are plenty and very good ; but not so large as usual. 

 Turnips and onions are abundant; as, also, are beets and carrots. Pars- 

 nii)s have not yet come to hand. Salsify is tolerably plenty ; but it has 

 not yet become .siitficiently known to be properly estimated ; we deem it, 

 ourselves, one of the most delicious vegetables ; where oysters cannot be 

 had, it is an excellent substitute. Horseradish is yet scarce. Cab- 

 bages are plenty and very fine. Of brocoli and cauliflowers, there have 

 been some fine specimens, especially of the latter ; its cultivation is much 

 better understood than formerly. Celery is plenty and excellent. Let- 

 tuce, the past week or two, has been brought in of good size. Squashes 

 are very abundant and prices low. Apples are unusually plentiful, and of 

 fair appearance ; Porters are about gone. Of pears the market has 

 been supplied with finer sorts than any previous year. We have ob- 

 served, among others, the Gushing, Urbaniste, Winter Beurre (so called), 

 Moorfowl Egg, Fulton, Marie Louise (of some) and Najioleon. Grapes 

 are abundant; fine Catawbas sell at good prices. Lemons and oranges 

 are scarce and high. Chestnuts and walnuts of this year's crop are toler- 

 ably plenty.
