Observations. — The weather having continued favourable (since the last 

 report) to the growth of vegetables, our supplies have been good, but by 

 no means so heavy or abundant as usual at this season ; in consequence of 

 which the prices have been liberal, with a fair demand, and little refuse left 

 in the market. We have had some quantity of fine early savoys, of excel- 

 lent size and quality, which were, of course, planted out early in the summer, 

 before the great heats prevailed. The coleworts are now (materially) what 

 were watered in during August and September ; they are in excellent con- 

 dition, and bring the growers a fair remunerating price for their labour in 

 getting them out, at considerable expense, during the dry season. The late 

 cauliflowers continue to be supplied in moderate quantities, and of good 

 quality. Broccoli begins to come to hand, but not freely ; the prices are 

 nevertheless moderate. Of onions we have not a large supply ; the crop is 

 considered but moderate, and will, I hope, compensate the cultivator, by an 

 increase in price and in the demand for them. Turnips have not improved 

 so much as might have been wished (from the continued prevalence of 

 dry weather during the earlier period of their growth), but the late fine
