The supplies to the market are very limited, and principally confined to 

 some few articles that are forced; consequently, prices are, and must continue 

 to be, high ; and, as the weather has destroyed the crops intended for early 

 spring supply, vegetables will continue scarce, until asparagus, sea-kale, and 

 peas are supplied, which cannot be (under the most favourable circumstances) 

 before the end of May. Potatoes are in good supply, although great mis- 

 chief has been done by the severe weather. Onions are still furnished mode- 

 rately; but, in consequence of the high prices heretofore reahsed, are not so 

 generally in demand, and have declined materially in price. — March 22. 

 1838.
