l^EMARKS. Dufinsr the past month the weather has been favorable 

 to the maturity of early crops. There is about ten days clifTeronce be- 

 tween this season and the last— the latter having been the earliest. Old 

 potatoes, as we predicted, are exceedingly scarce, and command enor- 

 mous prices ; new ones cotne to hand slowly, and are not of very large 

 size— they were abundant last year at a much earlier date. Turnips 

 are fine. Onions not abundant: some of the Connecticut reds, or, as 

 they are termed, rareripes, have come in the past week. Beets are 

 plenty. Carrots are brought in, but they are yet small. 



Early cabbages are notyet ])lentifully supplied. A few caidiflowers 

 of small size have sold at quotations. String beans are very scarce — 

 the early frosts in the month of May having destroyed nearly two thirds 

 of the expected crop. Peas are not plenty nor very good. Bush
