LONDON MARKETS. —September 10th. 
COVENT GARDEN. 
There is still an abundant supply of all kinds of produce. 
Plums are very plentiful; and for the last seven years we 
do not remember so many Green Gages as there are now; 
they are very fine and well-ripened. The small ones fetch 
from Os. to 10s. per sieve, while the large, well-ripened, 
make from ] 2s. to 18s, per punnet of a dozen or a dozen- 
and-a-half. The other sorts are the Goliath, the Muscle , 
and the Orleans —all very plentiful. Pines and Grapes are 
abundant; so also are Apples of all kinds, and the common 
sorts of Pears. Kentish Filberts are very plentiful, but 
scarcely sufficiently filled. Vegetables and Flowers are in 
great abundance.
