Observations. — I have delayed sending the list some days, in conse- 

 quence of the lateness of the season, from which circumstance the prices 

 of many of the leading articles have not been sufficiently settled to enable 

 me to determine their range ; consequently, those attached to the list 

 must be considered as for the last few days only. Asparagus, which at 

 this season is generally a leading article, has, as yet, been furnished in 

 very small quantities, and by no means of good quality ; the absence of 

 solar heat, and the prevalence of cold winds and frosty nights, have pre- 

 vented it from coming to size, colour, or flavour. Peas are as yet only 

 spoken of, only two half sieves on Saturday in the market ; consequently, 

 the price attached to that article in the list must be considered as exclu- 

 sively confined to the day ; but, as the season is likely to be still further 

 retarded by the continued prevalence of northerly and easterly winds, no 

 supply can be immediately looked for, and, as it is an article in demand, 

 'good prices may be confidently anticipated. Cauliflowers begin to be 

 brought rather freely for the season : as yet they have been small, and not 



small Salads fP-5^„>f^;ff
