Observations.-^ From the date of my last report the market has been sup- 

 plied constantly and freelj' with all articles in season. The continued fineness 

 of the weather has created a steady demand for all ripe fruits, at what may be 

 considered fair remunerating prices. Cherries have come to hand in good 

 condition, owing to the prevalence of dry weather : the crop about one third 

 less than last season. Currants are not more than an average crop; the price.s 

 as yet have been very good, and, as the season for preserving advances, will be 

 better. Gooseberries, of the better dessert varieties, are not plentiful ; but, in 

 consequence of the more extended cultivation of them, no deficiency of supply 

 has been experienced. The apples which have as yet been brought to market 

 have been in but inconsiderable quantities : they appear to be considerably 

 blighted, consequently very small in size : the crop is, however, generally good ; 

 therefore they may, as the season advances, be expected in large supply. Of 

 pears we have as yet had but few, principally the early Lammas varieties : the 

 crop of these sorts is generally good, but that of t';e better and later sorts 

 is not so. Some few plums, from the wall, have been brought ; the crop 

 not generally good. Of peaches and nectarines we have had a tolerably fair 

 sprinkle ; of course, forced : the crop upon the open wall is moderate. But 

 few apricots are to be seen as yet, but the supply expected is considerable. 

 Grapes are abundant, very good, and at present very moderate. Pine-apples 

 are now in good supply ; prices, consequently, much more moderate. All 

 other articles much as usual at this season ; but the present extremely hot 

 weather will shorten the supply materially if it continues. — G. C. July 24.
