mild and moist weather j the continuance of which may prove more favour- 

 able to this most important article in our market. Carrots have been fur- 

 nished very heavily, of good quality ; the prices are moderate. Potatoes 

 are not generally a good crop ; but the market is at present well supplied 

 coastwise; and the season for the Scotch arrivals being so near, no doubt 

 they will be sent in sufficient quantities for all demands. It is not expected 

 that they will vary much in price before the spring. Apples are in good 

 supply, with the promise of any quantity the markets may require, if the 

 present prices can be maintained, so as to pay the growers for the extra- 

 expense of carriage from the more distant counties. Pears have not been 

 so abundant, and have consequently brought better prices. — G. C.
