prevent the bringing of potatoes, turnips, and other vegetables, from the 

 country. The stock, therefore, on hand, is considerably large and of 

 good quality. 



Potatoes remain without any alteration, except in Eastports, which 

 have advanced a shade; and sweet, which, from the diminished stock, 

 command higher rates. Sales of turnips have been moi-e brisk, and, al- 

 though there is a good stock, prices have advanced. Bunched onions 

 are rather scarce. 



Of cabhages there is a good supply, excepting drumheads, of which 

 only a very limited stock of those of good quality remains on hand: the 

 reason of their scarcity we alluded to in our November report. Cauli- 

 flowers yet come to hand in tolerable abundance for the season. Bro- 

 coiis are about gone. Lettuce improves in quality as the season ad- 

 vances. Celery is plentiful and prices moderate. Squashes are less 

 abundant than at our last report, and prices of all sorts have much ad- 

 vanced; considering the cool summer and early frosts, the stock is far 

 greater, and the quality very superior to what would have beea 

 supposed. 



Apples remain about the same; some fine golden pippins have just 

 come to hand; Baldwins keep finely. Of pears, the sup])ly has fallen 

 off, and, with the excejnion of the Lewis, there is oidy a few dozens re- 

 maining; some very handsome pears, known as Prince's St. Germain, 

 have been received. Quinces are about gone. Pine-apples are scarce. 

 Malaga grapes abundant, there having been some arrivals with large 

 quantities. Cranberries remain about the same. Walnuts and chest- 

 nuts are scarce. — Yours, JM. T., Boston, Dec. 23d, 1837.
