at the same price. The general market, however,

 generally good. 



Prices of the following at Leadenhall Market, 

 February and March 1834. Feb. 8. concluded the 

 game season, except as to Hares, which have the pro- 

 tection of a severe penalty to any one " tracking 

 them in snow." As the dealers, however, are allowed 

 ten days to dispose of their stock, we continue our 

 quotation. Pheasants are short at 8s. and partridges 

 at 4s. a brace. Hares are rather falling off in supply, 

 but good ones may be had at 3s. 6d. each. "Wood- 

 cocks are very scarce, and realize from 9s. to 12s. a 

 couple. Snipes also short, and readily make 4s. a cou- 

 ple. Wild Rabbits from 12s. to 16s. a dozen. A large 

 supply of the Golden Plover has arrived from France, 

 and they are selling from 3s. to 4s. a couple. The 

 poultry market looks well, and the trade is brisk at 

 some advance on the Christmas prices. Little vari- 

 ation has occurred to the middle of March.
