Remarks. Since our last, the continued cold and damp weather, ac- 

 companied with easterly winds, has had considerable influence upon the 

 early pi-oductions for the market. Almost every variety of vegetable is 

 far moi-e backward than last season, and the want of Avarm weather has 

 rendered them less excellent than they are generally. Should the pres- 

 ent weather continue any length of time, peas and other vegetables 

 which we genei-ally get early in June, will not this season be brought in 

 till the latter part of the month. Potatoes remain about the same as in 

 our last; there is a fair supply. About 600 bushels in bulk of Nova Sco- 

 tias, generally termed white blue-noses, ai-rived the last week; they are 

 very superior, and command a good price. Old turnips are done for the 

 season. A few bunches of new ones, the first of this year, were brought 

 in this week; they were of good .size. French turnips are in some de- 

 mand, but there are few to be had. Onions of last year's stock are ex- 

 ceedingly scarce, and what there is on hand readily command the prices 

 in our quotations ; new ones come in now tolerably plenty. Beets and 

 carrots have advanced considerably ; very few are to be found. Parsnips 

 continue plenty. Cabbages are all out of the market. Lettuce and rad- 

 ishes are very "abundant and good, the past weather having been very 

 favorable for their production. Spinach, dock, &c., for greens, are 

 plenty. Among the new things which are coming into general use, we
