AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST 
for the best are by no means equal to what were in marked 
last week, and are worth 25c. less per bbl. than the best 
then noted, being much smaller. Cabbages maintain their 
price, and some very heavy ones were offered this morning; 
they retail at 5c. each, but when sold by the raiser to dealers 
so much is given for the wagon load ; there is much dif¬ 
ference in the size and quality of this vegetable. Celery is 
not quite so fresh-looking as it has been in the early pari 
of the season ; some good samples are still to be seen, 
which command a quick sale at a little more than the aver¬ 
age price. The weather has been very unfavorable for 
onions, and, indeed, for any vegetable liable to rot; this 
much-consumed bulb continues at the same price, with very 
little fluctuation, during the season. Turnips are in good 
condition, though the ruta bagas are generally of small size 
for that variety. Spinach, and other small greens are be¬ 
coming more plentiful as the winter advances. 
Apples have been a little lower during the last few days ; 
the weather is decidedly against them. Cranberries con¬ 
tinue at the same rates, choice samples command a little 
over the price noted. 
Poultry is very abundant; we are informed on reliable 
authority, that it has been sold as low as 6c. per pound from 
first hands, for inferior lots, while some has brought 9 and 
10c.; this is a great difference, and would appear almost 
unreasonable, when we find the retail price steady at from 
9 to 11c; the quality of course makes the difference.
