Late Market-garden Crops. 

 Celery seems to have suffered considerably from drought, 

 and only a fair crop was indicated at the time of making 

 returns. Other late market-garden crops were backward, but 

 growing well since the rains, and promising good yields in 

 the future. Some fears were expressed that squashes might 

 be shortened by early frosts. From the principal market- 

 garden sections come reports that crops as a rule have been 

 light, but that prices have been good.
