Observations, — Our supplies of vegetables have not been so heavy as 

 usual at this season, except in turnips, owing to the prevalence of drought 

 through the summer ; but a general dulness has prevailed, which has kept 

 down the prices to the present moderate quotations. Fruit has come to 

 hand plentifully ; but, in consequence of the very moderate prices obtained, 

 a large proportion of apples has been kept for the purpose of making 

 cider, the common sorts not realising enough to pay the cost of carriage 

 and incidental expenses ; the better varieties, either for sauce or table, are 

 selling now moderately well, although the demand has not been at any 

 time brisk. Pears, generally, have also been abundant, but not so large or 

 fine as usual ; many of the better sorts have been particularly (for our 

 market) plentiful, but not considered so high in quality for the table as in 

 general : some of the newer varieties have also been furnished, but they 

 are not yet so generally cultivated as to insure a regular supply. Oranges
