LONDON MARKETS.— December 31st. 
COVENT GARDEN. 
The rapid change from frost to the present humid weather has much 
interfered with out-door operations, and this being holiday week, we 
have had scarcely any markets, and conseciuently but little to report. 
Pears and Apples are quite sufficient for the demand, and prices remain 
about the same; supplies from the Continent are again rather heavy.
