Observations. — From the date of the last report, until Friday last, the 18th, 

 we have, with slight intermissions, had a series of cold and chilling winds, 

 with much rain, which has materially retarded the progress of vegetation. 

 This, superadded to the effect of the dry summer (which has induced, through- 

 out the winter, a scarcity of most articles), has materially enhanced the value 

 of the vegetables in demand at this season, as very clearly indicated by the scale 

 of prices quoted : an exception to the rule prevails as regards the forced ar- 

 ticles. Asparagus has been abundant, and very low in price. Sea-kale (except 

 for a short period) has been plentiful, and at a moderate rate. Broccolis of the 

 best description have been very scarce, and certainly dear ; but, as in all pre-

 reaches its maximum, it is less sought after, and declines in price : so that of
