Coveni Garden Market. 



regards the prices of mos t of the leading articles usual!}' supplied at this 

 season, the most important of which are lettuces and peas : of the former a 

 large supply has been furnished, of most excellent quality, the prices quored 

 are very low, and the article is bnt little in demand; of the latter, a very 

 considerable quantity was furnished in sacks and sieves, but, being nuich in 

 request, they obtained rather better prices than in the earlier period of the 

 ■week, or rather than on the preceding market-day. New potatoes, in conse- 

 quence of the better supply of other vegetables, have receded materiallj' in 

 value. Cauliflowers are being liberally supplied, and arc likely to be more 

 generally so, should the present dry warm weather continue to prevail ; the 

 present prices are moderate. Strawl)erries from the open ground are plen- 

 tiful, with the prospect of a heavy crop : generally, the prices quoted can 

 only be said to rule for the da\-, as they are materially depressed or affected 

 by every day's market. Gooseberries and currants are reporteil to be a heavy 

 crop, consequently will be cheap. Cherries are also generally plentiful, and 

 will be very moderate in price. Of all other fruits little can be said, but the 

 reports are generally favourable. — C. G. M. June 24'. 1837.
