Observations. — The prevalence of severe frost in the latter part of Fe- 

 bruary, rendered the supply of vegetables very precarious, and prices, 

 consequently, fluctuating; but, since that time, the markets have been 

 steady in supply and price. The continuance of cold winds and frosty nights 

 will, of course, preclude the supply of spring vegetables, for some time, in 

 any abundance, from which may be expected an increase of prices. The 

 stock of English fruits is nearly exhausted, and the market is, necessarily, 

 furnished with foreign, which continues to arrive in good condition, and 

 tolerable abundance. — C. March 14. 1829.
