Coveni Garden Mavhet. 



Art. VIII. Covent Garden Market. 



In consequence of the rains which have so generally prevailed in the early 

 part of the present month, the market has been supplied liberally with all 

 sorts of vegetables usually prevalent at this season of the year ; more parti- 

 cularly with turnips, coleworts, &c, French beans were, for a time, rather 

 short in supply, but have become more plentiful. Peas are nearly out, but 

 some few are occasionally furnished. Potatoes are very abundant, and gene- 

 rally of good quality : the crop, throughout the country, is represented as 

 being heavy ; consequently, if harvested in good condition, for which the 

 weather is at present very favourable, we may expect the supply, throughout 

 the season, to be good at very moderate prices, especially as all other vege- 

 tables are expected to be equally abundant and good. Of fruits generally we 

 have had considerable quantities : appJe§ and plums in great abundance. It 

 has been remarkable, that apples have bee.n actually sold at less than potatoes. 

 Wall fruit has been more plentiful than was expected. Grapes from the 

 houses very plentiful. Walnuts, as yet, but in moderate supply, except from 

 Holland, whence several cargoes have been imported. Filberts are scarce 

 and dear, and of indifferent quality. — C. G. M. Sept. 27. 1837.
