Remarks. In our last, we remarked that the state of the market was 

 dull : it has continued so up to the present time, few sales to any amount 

 having been made, as is generally the case at this season. Probably one 

 great cause is the severity of the weather, which has prevented ship- 

 ments to the south and west ; another, thoiiirh less, is, that the intenseness 

 of the winter has prevented as much travelling as is usual at this season, 

 and the demand of the city and vicinity is consequently very small. The 

 latter cause, though seemingly trifling, exerts quite an influence in the 

 market, especially of the nicer productions for the tables of the first 

 houses. This is easily perceived as soon as spring commences, and the 

 increasing demand is fully equal, oftentimes, to the supi>ly. 



Potatoes remain about the same : few, or none at all, have arrived 

 from the eastward ; but, as few sales have been made, the stock on hand 

 is fully adequate to the demand. We stated in our last, that we should 

 notice some new kinds, which have lately been introduced, with remarks 

 respecting their comparative value. These are the Early Nonpareil, 

 Taylor's forty-fold, and the St. Helenas. The latter has Iteen extensive- 

 ly cultivated the past season, both at the eastward and in this vicinity ; 

 and, from the excellency of those which were raised at the former place, 

 it was antici|)ated that they woidd prove a valuaitle and profital)le kind 

 for our marketmen ; this idea, however, we are in fear, will not jirove 

 true ; as those which were produced on some of the best j)otato land in
