Covent Garde?! Market. 



quantity in baskets, were readily disposed of. Hadishes have come to hand 

 slowly, in consequence of the very cold weather. A few early turnips have 

 been produced ; so that the market has been supplied with them, in greater 

 or less quantity, throughout the year ,• as well as with carrots and other arti- 

 cles. Onions have been in demand, and still continue to realise good prices, 

 although the season for their consumption is past. Potatoes have been sup- 

 plied in considerable quantities; but, in consequence of the general deficiency 

 of other vegetables, have been readily disposed of, at an improved price. 

 Grapes are now supplied freely ; strawberries also plentifully ; some peaches 

 and nectarines, with a ?evf cherries ; but they are not at present in request. 

 Pine-apples, although by no means plentiful, are not much enquired after. Of 

 apples, we have, as yet, quite as many as are wanted ; the demand for them 

 being materially affected by the large supply of rhubarb, which, at this season, 

 generally supersedes the use of them. Oranges are now very plentiful, and 

 of excellent quality : the prices, throughout the season, have been good, and 

 realised to the importers a handsome remuneration. — C. G, M. May 23.
