Remarks The state of market, during the last month, has been dull, 

 and but few sales, to any great amount, effected. Potatoes remain about 

 the same; sales rather brisk; very few have as yet arrived from the 

 eastward, owing to the cold weather. We had intended to make some 

 observations on the sorts generally brought in for summer use, and their 

 comparative earliness and quality, as, also, to notice some new kinds 

 which have been proved the past year to be excellent; but we leave 

 this till our next. Turnips are yet plenty. Sales of onions for shipping, 

 since our last, have been few, and consequently prices are lower; but 

 they are so fluctuating an article, according as the demand is greater or 

 less, that, before our next, they may have advanced to much higher 

 rates. Of beets, carrots and parsnips, the crop is abundant, and prices 

 moderate. Salsify is scarce. Horseradish is plenty, and of excellent 

 quality. Cabbages are becoming much more scarce, and prices have 

 advanced considerably; the stock on hand is very small. Of brocolis, 

 there are very few. Cauliflowers are nearly gone. Celery is very 

 scarce, and prices high; numerous quantities remain frozen in the ground. 

 Lettuce is tolerably plenty, of fine quality, and prices very moderate for 

 the season. Radishes are much more plentiful, and of larger growth. 

 Canada crookneck squashes are about gone; those on hand command a 

 good price; common kinds are also higher; few Lima in the market; 

 the past week, two squashes from Palermo, weighing 69 pounds each,
