MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 



Art. I. Covent Garden Market. 



The market has been" fairly, but by no means heavily, supplied during the 

 last month. The weather being generally fine and dry, all ripe fruits have 

 met a steady and regular demand, at prices which may be considered remu- 

 nerating to the growers. Since my last report, we have experiencetl two very 

 hio-h winds, and some considerable sliowers of rain : the former have caused a 

 "reat influx of common apples and pears, blown from the trees, which have 

 been literally given away, and had the effect of temporarily depressing the 

 market ; otherwise, the ordinary fruits of the season being in demand would 

 have been considerably higher in prices. Cherries were nuich damaged by the 

 wind and rain ; raspberries were almost entirely destroyed by the same cause. 

 Earlv summer pears have not been very plentiful, nor have apples been furnished 

 very abundantly, in a general way. Of wall fruit we have as yet but little, nor 

 is the crop generally good. Vegetables generally are in supply quite equal to 

 the demand : the prospect for them is promising. Potatoes have been excel- 

 lent, and continue to be sui)plied abundantly. — C. G. M. Aug, 24'. 1837.
