. The potato market in so far as it applies to Prince Edward Is- land is in a healthy condition and should remain so throughout the winter.

This was the opinion of a large dealer in Charlottetown yesterday who advised growers to keep moving their stocks in order to

It was pointed qut that although the- price has remained firm, the market is more or less bor- der line and an accumulation of too many potatoes could easily result in a market slump.

Several other factors were

Maine has a good quantity of po- tatoes on hand and they are less inclined to dump as many as they have in former years.

The opinion is expressed that with the Canadian grower so clos-

can be little hope of prices going; tog high as long as the. market across the border remains at not! too high a peak. ‘

Last week the Canadian mar- ket experienced quite a slump when prices for 75 Ibs. bulk drop- ped from $1.50 to $1.35. However the market has made a very heal- thy recovery and prices per 75 Ibs. bulk today are quoted as $1.45.

P.E.I. holdings at the present time are reported to be about 8,000 cars — 1,000 cars less than this time last year. However, Is- land growers have shipped 800 less cars than at the same time last year. New Brunswick on the

ket is the fact that there has been a considerable reduction * the shipments of seed to the sou-| thern states and to Venezuela. It is the belief that an accumu- lation of stocks could leave’ the Island with a surplus at the end of the year unless a steady move- | ment is maintained.

Officers Held Group In S’side

The organization was formed about a month ago. The response | has been such that membership to the organization must be clos- | ed shortly. At present, the mem- bership totals boys and girls who are in their teens and whd| are seeking guidance in personal, social and vocational problems.

The group meets on Tuesday evenings at 7.30 Weekly themes are prepared and discussed and it is felt that much value can be gained by such discussions.

A devotional service is also part | of the evening's program. Mem- bers are requested to pass cer- tain requirements and after suit- able orientation, a membership! card is issued.
