Covent Garden Market. 



but the warm and genial weather in the early part of this month has, in a 

 great measure, restored the deficiency ; so that we are now supplied liberally 

 with all the articles usually found at this season. Of peas and beans we have 

 a great abundance, and, since the rain, of the best possible quality : prices rea- 

 sonable. Of early potatoes, the supply is more than equal to the immediate 

 demand ; sales dull, and prices declining. Cauliflowers are not so fine or 

 abundant as usual, in consequence of the heat and dryness of the weather in 

 the early part of the month. Kidney beans are coming to hand plentifully, 

 although the crop did not generally plant well. Cabbages have been scarce 

 and dear throughout the season ; but, in consequence of the general supply, 

 not much in demand. Lettuces are plentiful and good. Cucumbers are in 

 good supply, and in good demand. Of fruit we have a large crop generall)'. 

 Cherries, very plentiful, and of excellent quality. Currants and gooseberries 

 also abundant, and excellent, as well as raspberries. Of apples but few have 

 as yet been furnished : the crop is generally large. Of pears, none as yet 

 have been supplied, but the crop is considered good (especially of the earlier 

 and hardier sorts), except jargonelles, and some of the tender varieties, which 

 have again failed. Of plums some few punnets have been brought : the crop 

 is in general good. The wall fruit, such as peaches, nectarines, &c., is cer- 

 tainly very short in crop. Walnuts and filberts are considered to be a short 

 crop. — C. G. M. July 22. 1837.
