LONDON MARKETS. —September 3rd. 
COVENT GARDEN. 
It would be difficult to enumerate the varieties of Apples 
and Pears that now find their way to the market. The most 
prominent of the former are Kerry Pippins, Bed Aslrachan, 
and Duchess of Oldenbuuj. Jargonelles are very abundant, 
and there is also a good supply of the old varieties, such as 
Lamams, Orange, Bergamot, and Windsor. Plums are now 
becoming very plentiful, such varieties as the Orleans, and 
a black one which is called in Kent the Black Martin , being 
sold by the sieve in large quantities. This Black Martin is 
also sold under the name of Violet, but it is not the Violet; 
nor is it the Precoce de Tours, which has been and gone 
about a fortnight ago. Green Gages, from France, are very 
general; they are not the true Green Gage, but the Reine 
Claude Petite, or Little Gage, wLich is a very inferior variety. 
Grapes are abundant; and so also are Pine Apples , particu¬ 
larly the West Indian, which seem very fine, being large and 
ripe. Peaches, Nectarines, and Apricots are plentiful. 
K ntish Filberts are coming in at 9d. per lb. Vegetables 
and Flowers abundant.
