Remarks. — Since our last, at which time we stated that the activity 

 of the market was uncommon, we have had such intense cold weather, 

 as to operate immediately upon its productions, and consequently from 

 the cause of many crops being destroyed by the early approach of frost, 

 before they were in, and from the continuance of the severity of the 

 weather, preventing shipments, sales are now dull and heavy, and prices 

 have but slightly advanced. Of potatoes, the stock is now becoming rath- 

 er short; andr^ unless warm weather succeeds, it will be quite small ; 

 those kinds termed common, have advanced a shade in price ; Eastport 

 remain the same. Turnips plenty. Onions are not as plentiful as at the 

 time of our last report, and prices are considerably higher ; a larger 

 quantity has been shipped than usual. Many cabbages were froze by the 

 late severe weather, and probably thousands of heads yet remain in the 

 ground covered with snow. Cauliflowers are scarce. Lettuce comes to 

 hand, of fine quality. This week, also, the first radishes of the season 

 were brought in ; they were of fine growth, and sold quickly at quota- 

 tions. Spinach is now plentiful. Of Canada squashes there are very few 

 in market ; those fine are in good demand. Apples of all kinds have ad- 

 vanced in price; a few of the Monstrous pippins, not in our quotations, are 

 to be had. St. Germain pears, of which there is probably but a few dozen 

 in the market, have been sold as quoted. Cranberries are very scarce ; 

 very large quantities have been shipped the past fall. Chestnuts are in 

 less demand, and prices lower. — Yours, M. T. Boston, Dec. Qlst, 1835.
