The accession of rain, since the last report, has materially altered the whole 

 feature of supply to the market. We have already many good articles in usual 

 demand at this season, such as savoys, broccolis, autumn cauliflowers, coleworts, 

 turnips, &c. ; but, as the demand for many of these articles is quite equal to 

 the supply, they still continue to obtain good prices, so as to remunerate the 

 cultivator for his extra expense of labour during the extremely hot and dry 

 weather of the preceding summer. Potatoes are, as yet, rather short of the 

 usual quantities furnished at this season. The rainy weather has, in many in- 

 stances, impeded their being taken up as extensively as usual ; and, as the season 

 is not yet sufficiently advanced to allow of shipment from tiie out-ports, our 

 markets are but supplied to the extent of their current demand. Turnips are 

 coming to hand now generally; but, as they are at this season an article of very 

 usual consumption, and, from the extreme dryness of the preceding months, 

 not of very good quality, the best fetch excellent prices. Carrots are abun- 

 dant at present, but they are also in good demand. Onions are by no means so 

 generally furnished as usual at this season : they are in good demand at a fair 

 price. Savoys and coleworts come to hand much better than might be ex-
