POTATOES.— -South wark Watbrsidb, Dec. 16. 



Thi contrary w' ndi Have continued through the past week, which has 

 prevented the arrivals of Po f atoe& from all countries, consequently there was 

 only a few small lots in the Market for sale, and they were sold at various 

 advanced prices, the pai 1 iculars of which we cannot define. 



COVENT GARDEN, Due. 21. — Notwithstanding the un- 

 steady state of the weather the market has been tolerably well 

 •applied with most articles during the week, but trade has not 

 been brisk. Among fruit there has been little alteration since 

 last week. Pine-apples are sufficient for the demand, and are 

 offered at nearly the same prices as quoted in our last report. 

 Grapes have not altered in price; good samples are offered at 

 about 2*. per pound. The best dessert Apples at present in the 

 market are the Ribstone f ippin, Blenheim Orange, and Court 

 of Wick. Of Pears, the principal sorts for table are the Winter 

 Nelis, Glout Morceau, and Passe Colmar. These are, how- 

 ever, not so good as they are in some seasons, being, compara- 

 tively speaking, gritty, and not well-flavoured. All kinds of 

 Nuts are scarce. Filberts are very dear, good samples bringing 

 from 140*. to 150*. per 100 lbs. Oranges are plentiful. Among 

 vegetables scarcely any difference has taken place since our 

 last report. Good samples of Seakale and Asparagus are 

 offered at last week's prices. White Broccoli is excellent, ami 

 the purple sort is also good. Cauliflowers are scarce. Turnips 

 and Carrots of good quality are selling at the same prices as 

 last week. Celery, although good,, has suffered a little from 

 the effects of the frost. Tomatoes may still be had, but they 

 are very scarce. Brussels Sprouts, Savoys, and other winter 

 Greens are gocd in quality, and the supply is equal to the de» 

 mand. Cut flowers chiefly consist of Cypripediura insigne and 

 venustum, Luculiagratissima, Eupkorbia jacquiniflora, Gnidia 

 pinifolia, Cacti, Camellias, Heaths, Epacrises, Cinerarias, Ama- 

 ryllises, Acacias, Azaleas, Narcissus, Chrysanthemums, Tulips, 

 and Roses.

MARK-LANE, Monday, Dec. 16. 

 The supply of Wheat by land carriage samples this morning 

 was moderate; best qualities were taken off on the terms of 

 last week, but great difficulty was experienced in the disposal 

 of secondary and inferior conditional parcels, of which some 

 quantity remained unsold. Foreign fully maintains its value, 

 but the sale continues limited. We observe no altera- 

 tion in the value of Barley, Beans, and Peas from this day 

 se'nnigtat. The quantity of Oats on sale being email, and large 

 arrivals expected, dealers refrained from purchasing ; but ex- 

 treme prices were obtained from consumers and necessitous 

 buyers.

Friday, Dec. 20. 

 The arrivals of all Corn during the week have been small, 

 and business, both on Wednesday and to-day, very limited. 

 Great difficulty is experienced in realising the English Wheat 

 left over from Monday ; foreign is wanted by the millers, who 

 are restrained by its comparatively high value from purchas- 

 ing. Barley and Beans are unaltered, but the return of frost 

 induces factors to hold their White Peas for an advance. The 

 market continues very bare of Oats, and where sales are 

 effected, a slight advance is obtained.
