Observations. — The market has been better supplied with the articles usual 

 at this season, than could have been expected from the prevalence of cold wind 

 and severe frosts at night, during the present month (up to this date); but a 

 comparison of prices will at once show that a deficiency in supply does and 

 must necessarily continue to exist for some time to come. Of early spring 

 cabbages we have had a tolerable quantity, at fair prices, offering an induce- 

 ment to the growers to send them to market prematurely, which will be the 

 cause of a deficiency in the ensuing month. The price of coleworts has in- 

 creased during the last fortnight materially. Of asparagus the supply of forced 

 begins to diminish very perceptibly, and, as the natural has not yet come to 

 hand in any quantity, the price of it is considerably higher. Forced sea-kale 

 is also almost exhausted, and the natural is realising a better price than it did 

 some time since. Spinach comes to hand plentifully, at a reasonable charge.
