HALIFAX. — (CP) — Premier Stanfield said Thursday in the Legislature he is sure every ef- fort will be made to meet the desire of Cape Bretoners to see Princess Margaret d ring an August visit to Nova S otia. But he made no commitment for her to visit the area.

“I think Cape Beton would re- cognize that these parts of the province should get some con- sideration."

The Premier said, it would be “some weeks” before Princess Margaret's itinerary is ready-

The futures have do- minated the thinking of the buying segment of the physical marketing body -which ordinar- ily handles tlhe provision of supplies as required, and this has spelled out disaster to the producers’ potato market, for the time being at least. “Shippers are at odds with the buyers in their views as to what, under present circum-
