Observations. — Our supplies of fruit have, up to this time, been much 

 more plentiful than might have been expected from the known state of the 

 crops throughout the home districts, which have not been generally more 

 than half an average. From many parts of Kent, which last season at 

 this period afforded very heavy supplies, at present not a bushel is 

 sent ; from others not in the proportion of one to five. From Essex, 

 which last year furnished us liberally, hardly a bushel is to be found,
