Remarks. The spring stock of mai'ket produce, generally, is not very 

 large, and, excepting some kinds, will hardly be snfficient to last until 

 the new crops come in. Potatoes have lately arrived in abundance from 

 the Eastward ; from Nova Scotia very large supplies have been received, 

 and of good quality. The late cold weather having prevented early 

 shipments, great quantities were sent off as soon as danger of frost was 

 over. Onions are exceedingly scarce, and although in our last we men- 

 tioned bunched ones as plenty, there are now few to be had. Beets and 

 carrots are in more demand, and prices advanced. Parsnips are more 

 plentiful A few bunches of salsify have been Irought in since the ground 

 opened, and sold readily. Cabbages are scarce, good ones selling at 

 very high prices. Lettuce is now pleutiful, and of fine quality. Rad- 

 ishes are now abundant. Dandehons come to hand in large quanties. 

 Some asparagus was brought in this week, which was quickly taken. 

 A few j-'ounds of rhubarb, for tarts, came to hand this week ; it was 

 cut from that very early, new, and most excellent kind, WilmoVs Early 

 Scarlet, which is at least ten days earlier than the old variety, and also 

 of superior quality ; it should be cultivated exclusively for tlie market. 

 Squashes of all kinds, except the West India, are about gone; occasion- 

 ally one or two may be found, but they are not sufficiently plenty to
