And iRisks With Money

their money. or llmbles which the IVGTMG 11811011 can't slordtotake. F0! every one. the Investment DcslcrI' Association of Canada has one major piece of advice: "Inves- illiiid before you invest." Speaking Thursday to an asso- niation press dinner in Toronto, N- D- Young. i " president. said one of its missions was to separate the sheep from goats among those who solicit the pub- lic's money.

Nigel ll. Gunn, association vice-

president. said investment dealers bring together the persons with money to invest and the businesses or communities which need money -whether it is to be for a trans- continental pipe line costing many millions of dollars, or a school- house costing a few thousand. They were major factors last year in bringing together persons with a total of 34,500,000,000 to invest and projects or governments at various levels which need that much. In recent years the association as a body, and many of its mem- bers lndividually, have carried on educational programs to teach peo- ple how to invest their money wisely.

The association has in each pro- vince committees which supply sposkers to organizations whose membership want practical talks on the matter.

one doesn't have to put up spec- ulative money and take the chance of major losses or gains, but this is a. path for the vcrage person to tread warily, an only to the extent that he can afford the risk.

Moving Rock Costly Business

OITAWA. (CP)-Works Minister Winters ,said Thursday that re- moval of Ripple Rock, a. navigat- ional hazard in Seymour narrows 100 miles north of Vancouver, will cost an estimated 32,500,000.

He said in the Commons that the rock will be removed by blasting and that the operation will be completed about two years after tenders have been let. Tenders were expected to be called about six months following the prepara-

Market Prices

The following report on farm market prices has been prepared by Mr. B. C. Wright. Deputy Min- ister of Agriculture:

200!

:-The egg ” market position in Prince Edward Island is unsteady and supplies are accumulating. There is. however, a fair demand from other Maritime centers for well graded product and a. fair movemsnt of the product continues to these centers. with the above mentioned condition -existing, it would be very wise for station op- erstors to exerci.se.every care in the grading and packaging of the product.

Charlottetown dealcrs quoting for ungraded egg: AL 28; AM 114: as 15: B 1!: C : and for the graded pack: AL 34; AM 30: As 24; B 24; and 0 15. To rs- tailera in cartons: AL 41; AM 87; B 80. Retail to consumers: AL 45-50; AM 43-45: B 85.

DAIRYING

The price of butter on the Hall- fax and St. John markets continues the same as that of last week, with the wholesale price being quoted at sixty-three cents for first grade in one and two pound prints delivered; local Jobbing to retail stores at sixty-five cents. The job- bing price in this Province is also sixty-five cents delivered and the wholesale price is i that of Nova Scotin and New Brunswick. less freight and handling charges.

Creamery men in the Province who are at the present time pack- ing butter in 55-pound boxes and delivering it to the neighbouring provinces. should be able to obtain the same price delivered as that purchased from the Board. as the current manufacture of butter is selling for sixty-one cents f.o.b. Montreal. ,

The manufacture of butter in this Province from the first of November to I the present time shows a considerable decrease from that of last year. For the week ending January let, there were 59,- 957 pounds made. compared with 72,852 pounds for the same week last year. This is a decrease of 12,- 395 pounds, or about 1776. It is ex- pected that this decrease will con- tinue throughout the winter months and will result in a greater out-of-storage movement than a year ago. Therefore, we would not anticipate any storage troubles for the next year's production.

POTATOES

Potatoes have shown a slight strengthening over the past week. and TAEB's.msrkct bulletin ro- poris that there was no pile-up of potatoes in the terminal markets over the year-end holidays. They

ITO DOW

Island are stronger this week. Long Island has started to taper off with not too many potatoes left. 1

Shipments of seed this year have shown considerable increase, and up to and including the first week in January 1,029,792 bushels of seed have been shipped. This is an in- crease of 186,059 bushels over the corresponding period last year. The opposite condition is found in the shipments of tablestock. Up January 7th this year 2,558,500 bushels have” been shipped from the Province. For the same period last year 3.339.750 bushels were shipped. This registers a decrease of 671,250 bushels.

The shipments of turnips up to January 1st were 335,200 bushels. For the corresponding period last year we shipped 358.800 bushels. Prices for the contents of s 75 pound bag of potatoes delivered to the car range from 51.25 to 31.80. The prevailing price for iumips over .the province is no to 40c, with the exception of Vernon River where the price being offered is from 400 to 45c. E

LIVESTOCK

Hog prices have been rather jittery for quite some time, with practically every week registering a change. This week is no different as hogs are down 32.50, -and sows are down 51.50 at both Moncton and Charlottetown.

The following are the quotations:

1-logs at Moncton. Grade A 27.- 50: Grade Bl 20.50: No. 1 sows la.- 50; No. 2 sows 17.50; not dressed Weight delivered.

.3Two largo barns. a grain house and granary were destroyed by fire early last evening at the farm of Mr. Raymond MaoAulay. Peter's Road. The fire is believed to have started from a spark from the blower while threshing.

Mr. MacAulay and his crew were threshing grain in the afternoon until shortly after five o'clock, when all then went in for supper. At, 0 o'clock the fire in the loft was bursting through the root of the large barn. The men quickly raced to the barn and were,abie to get out the livestock, seven cattle, two horses and s. sow, but only in time for a few minutes later the building collapsed. Shortly there- after the other buildings in the adjacent area were on fire, casting

only the fact that the wind was north easterly saved the house from also being consumed. Togeth- er with the loss of the buildings, there was also lost about 15 tons of hay, 100 bushels ,of grain, 250 stocks of grain. thresher. grain crusher. pulper. wagon and tools.

Barns Burned In Peter's Road Fire

imately 315,000.00. There was only a very small insurance on the buildings. ,

Although a. large crowd gather- ed, they were unable to do any- thing becauso of the fast progress of the fire. and the lack of suffic- ient water. The two barns. one 45 by 22. the other 80 by 20, had been remodelled a few years ago and were finished with many conven- iences. All that now remains are the concrete base walls.

The loss is a serious one to Mr. MacAulsy with almost all his hay and grain crop gone, and almost no housing for his livestock. How- ever, he hopes to be able to allev- iate this condition as rapidly as possible.

There are also a. lot of wild geub around the bay which in the mornings and evening are seen feeding on the stubble fields. Many car drivers stop along the Midgeli hill to take a longing look at the lane tasty dinners.

We sincerely regret at this time to chronicle the passing of Jack Ladner in the city, after a long illness; s former resident of this Vlelnll-1'. he quit the farm a num- ber of years ago and moved to the city where his wife Kay joined the staff of Holman's owing to her husbsnds' poor health. The sin- cere sympsthy of this vicinity is extended to her and her family at this time.

We are messed to learn that Mr. llh'ncst Rosaiter is getting around again after being forced to rest following the busy holiday season.

The rabbit season has been a bumper one this year. in this vic- inity at least where one young man reports he has taken one hundred and sixty bunnies in his shares and with the gun. although he has no dog to run them out. Those very tasty dinners have been sold for one dollar per pair. They are a treat when put up in French style. We regret to learn of the pas- sing of Mr. Robert Webster in the P. E. 1. hospital last week, after an illness of two months. Mr. Web- ster resided in the U. S. A. for many years and was a stranger to the younger group, here his old home where a brother resides. The funeral on Sunday afternoon from his brother Russell's residence to Marie United Church was well at- tendod: burial in the family plot at Midgeli.
