Obscrvatums. — Our supplies of vegetables have not been so heavy as 

 usual at this season, except in turnips, owing to the i)revalencc of drought 

 through the .summer ; hut a general iluluess lias prevailed, which lias kept 

 down the prices to the prcseut moderate (luotations. Fruit has come to 

 hand plcntiiiilly ; i)ut, in couse<iucnce of the very moderate |)rices obtained, 

 a large proportion of apples has been kept for the purpo,se of making 

 eider, the common sorts not realising enough to pay the co.st of carriage 

 and incidental cxi)cuses ; the better varieties, either for sauce or table, are 

 selling now moderately well, although the demand has not been at any 

 time brisk. Pears, generally, have also been abundant, but not so large or 

 fine as usual ; inany of the better sorts have been particularly (for our 

 market) plentifid, but not considered so high in (piality for the table as in 

 general : some of the newer varieties have also been furnished, but they 

 are not yet so generally cultivated as to insure a regular su|)ply. Oranges
