^ 







During the latter end of November and the early part of December, the 

 weather was extremely mild, and favourable to the growth of vegetables ; in con- 

 sequence our supplies became more general, and the prices somewhat more 

 moderate. A few days of severe frost intervened, which created a considerable 

 change ; but, during the last week, the weather has again become open and fine, 

 and most of the articles usually furnished at this season have been more plentiful. 

 Sea-kale and asparagus have been brought to market during the last week, but 

 are not as yet in much demand : prices moderate. Broccolies, of various sorts, are 

 now in fair supply ; but, as the effect of the dry and hot weather during the pre- 

 ceding summer must have in a great measure prevented the cultivators from 

 planting out so extensivel}' as usual, the quantity as yet brought to market is 

 rather limited. Savoys and cokworts are also less plentiful than usual, and 

 realise good prices. Turnips are more abundant, being brought from farther 

 oft"; the prices being such as to pay the growers for their extra labour. Carrots
