Observations. — The market continues to be steadily supplied with most 

 kinds of vegetables, which are of excellent quality, at moderate prices. 

 The continued openness of the season enables the growers to furnish the 

 supply; but the consequence will be, a deficiency before the spring crops 

 come to hand. The general depression which prevailed throughout the 

 autumn, and early part of the winter, continues, and the few forced 

 articles, such as sea kale, asparagus, rhubarb, and French beans, which 

 have as yet been brought to market, have not realised high prices ; and as 

 the expense necessarily attending the production of such articles is very 

 great, no doubt the growers suffer considerable loss ; but, as the season is 

 advancing in which those articles are more generally in demand, I trust
