Covent Garden Market. 



surplus over the steady and regular consumption at this period of the season ; 

 nor can any great improvement be expected during the next month or two, 

 as it is well known that the supply will continue to be good, unless interrupted 

 by severe weather ; or the demand materially increased by the arrival in London 

 of the principal families after the Christmas holidays and the recess of Par- 

 liament ; at which time, also, the crops of most of the private gardens may be 

 exhausted. The supply of fruit (^jmncipalli/ apples) continues to be abundant, 

 and would be much more so could anything like a remunerating price be 

 obtained to pay the carriage of the common sorts from a distance. As it is, the 

 grower has been frequently a loser after paying carriage and other expenses. 

 The better sorts are necessarily depressed in value by these circumstances. 

 Of pears, especially the better varieties, we have had but a limited supply, and 

 these have not ripejed well. Some of the newer sorts of French and Flemish 

 pears have been furnished, and have realised good prices ; also the old es- 

 teemed varieties, such as the cresannes, brown beurres, &c.
