Observations. — From the continuance of fine and warm weather during the 

 last month (with an occasional shower) until Saturday last, our market has 

 been regularly supplied with fruit in abundance, and in most excellent con- 

 dition. The prices of most articles have been good, cherries excepted, which 

 have been very reasonable. Currants are now coming to hand in fine condition 

 for wine or preserves ; gooseberries also are in excellent state for the same 

 purposes ; we have a few jargonelle and other pears, but the crop is very 

 short ; of plums and green gages some few from the walls, the general crop 

 is altogether a failure; the report of wall fruit is generally bad, except grapes, 

 which will be plentiful. The recent rains have improved the prospect of 

 autumn and winter crops, so that I have no doubt we shall have an abundant 

 supply of turnips, coleworts, savoys, and other articles. At present we have 

 plenty of summer cabbage, French and scarlet beans, with some turnips and 

 fine carrots from Bedfordshire. The supply of early potatoes has been as yet 

 very deficient in quantity, with little prospect of any material improvement 

 from the immediate neighbourhood of" London, whence we are at present 

 supplied, but the later crops will be materially improved by the recent abundant 

 rains. — G. C. July 22. 1834.
