THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

COVENT GARDEN.
Considering the time of year we had a large supply
of green vegetables on sale in to-day's market, but
the demand was again very inactive, and the rates
even, in some instances, lower. Nearly 2,000 baskets
of fruit have been imported from France, Holland, and
Belgium, this week, a portion of which was on offer
here this morning ; but, owing to its quality proving
bad, it was sold at extremely low figures. English
fruit was in large supply, and heavy demand, at about
previous quotations. There was an abundant quantity
of potatoes brought forward, which met a slow in-
quiry, at from 40s to 70s per ton.
