Remarks. — Since our last, sales have been more brisk, although the 

 weather has continued severe, nearly up to this time. Some potatoes 

 have arrived from the Eastward ; Nova Scotias are very plenty ; Eastport 

 have advanced in price, and there are few remaining on hand. Turnips 

 are plenty and good. Loose onions are rather scarce, and prices have 

 advanced by the barrel ; those in bunches are plentifully abundant, and 

 are sold remarkably low. Of cabbages there is a good supply for the 

 season. Brocoli and cauliflowers are all gone. No celery remains on 

 hand. Lettuce is brought in of finer quality, and in tolerable plenty for 

 the earliness of the season. Radishes are also abundant. Spinach 

 comes to hand in large quantities. A few dandelions, the first this year, 

 were brought in this week ; they were not, however, collected from 

 fields, but were cut from cultivated plants ; we have often wondered why 

 they were not oftener grown in gardens ; they are much superior to 

 those culled from pastures. Canada crookneck squashes are about gone, 

 and of the common crookneck, there ai-e very few remaining on hand. 

 West Lidia are tolerably plenty, several hundred having lately arrived. 

 The stock of apples, in general, is yet abundant, though prices have 

 advanced on some kinds ; this is, hoAvever, for those which have been 

 picked over, and of superior quality; Baldwins arc quite scarce ; russets 

 have declined in price. Pine apples are scarce. Oranges and lemons
