OuR MARKEr.-Vegetables continue very scarce
and are Of inferior quality, at high prices. All the
potatoes brought to this market show core when
boiled. The supply Of fowl is very poor indeed,
and the price is high. Yesterday there was no fish
at all in market Choice butter for table use is .
rarity. Wild game begins to make its appearance,
but it hardly fit for the table. The butchers stalls
show we'll, and the beef and mutton are excellent
Flour--prime family, New York-brings eight dol
lars. Grocers have not yet generally got in their
supplies, and hence their stocks are light. Brown
sugar is scarce and high. Altogether our market il
at present lily supplied, and prices of every thing
have advanced, some 20 to SO per cent We should
be glad if the Baltimore, the Fredericktown and the
Montgomery county and Prince George county pa
pers would republish this. el

Dear Sir Our country is going

Caney, informed me few days since
that he would pack 81 hhds. of white
sugar of 1000 lbs. each, from one acre
of cane. Thi, quality sells for So per
hundred, which will amount to S240
for single acre of ground for one
year.
