Observations. — The weather has conthiued, since my last report, with the 

 exception of a day or so of frost, moderate and open for the season. The 

 market has been freely supplied with all kinds of vegetables usually to be 

 found at this season. Broccolis have become more generally plentiful, and of 

 good quality, at a very moderate price : some fine new varieties have been 

 produced ; one bunch, containing twelve heads, weighed 48 lbs., free from the 

 packing. Coleworts are at present in good supply ; which, with savoys, turnip 

 tops, Brussels sprouts (now generally cultivated), and other greens in abund- 

 ance, causes a depression in the general prices. Asparagus (forced) is liber- 

 ally furnished, as well as sea-kale. The prices of both these articles of luxury 

 are extremely moderate; so that, instead of being, as heretofore, confined to 

 the service of the wealthy, they may be now enjoyed, without extravagance, 

 by the merchant and tradesman. This might be supposed to lead to a more 

 general demand ; but as they are no longer exclusively enjoyed by the rich, 

 like other articles of general supply, they are less sought after. Potatoes are 

 in abundant supply ; prices very low. It should be generally known that,
