The favourable state of the weather in the early part of this month, for the 

 growth of vegetables, has been the means of keeping up a supply of most of 

 the articles usually furnished at this season ; so that prices have been alto- 

 gether very moderate, with the assurance of continuing so, and the certainty 

 of a good supply throughout the autumn and early winter months. Of fruit 

 we have had but little except apples, which are generally an abundant crop. 

 Plums, damsons, and pears are scarce. We have had a supply of green gages 

 from France, which have realised good prices, and remunerated the importers, 

 although the expense of transport from Brighton to London is very heavy. 

 Some fine red currants from Holland have been occasionally seen in the 

 market, although our own crop has been generally good. Melons, from Hol- 

 land, have also been plentiful at very low prices. Filberts are deficient in crop, 

 but have been sent to market in a very green state plentifully, so that our 

 supply to come will be short. Walnuts, from Ostend, have been introduced 

 in large quantities in an unripe state ; so that the market is, at present, quite 

 overloaded with them : our own crop is comparatively small. Of wall fruit
