But Eden said in his brief broad- cast that uncertainty at home and abroad about Britain's political future would be "bad for Britain's influence in world affairs. bad for

STRANGE CAMPAIGN

Unless the wage strike of 700 electricians and maintenance men is settled soon. politicians will have to plan on one of the strang- est election campaigns in history. They would be unable to reach the piibllc through the national news- papers which reflect party view- points.

Potato Situari

The potato story has been one of excitement during the last three weeks when the price here men from 31.25 per bushel to 83.40 per bushel last Tuesday and then came to a definite lull. reports a spokesman for the P.E.I. Potato Dealers Assoclationi

This rise was the result of various conditions reducing the supply in the larger consuming market of Canada and sparked oi by the heavy frost in the Southern States. The front u re- ported as the heaviest in fifty years and bit the potatoes and fresh vegetables that were due to go on the market in May.

The condition of the roads here and in New Brunswick and Que- bec restricted volume -movement and the dealers were quick to sense the possibilities of advanc- ing the market and did so to the utmost. They were strengthened in this by the lack of holdings of potatoes in the warehouses which were far below normal for this time of year.

At the same time the price of potatoes in Maine advanced from 31.00 per bushel on March 25 to 32.50 per bushel bulk on April 0. There was a corresponding in-

The movement of potatoes from Prince Edward Island to date is 6.650 carlnads by the ferry against 6.500 to the same date last year. and our stocks on hand are esti- mated as 1,200 carloads against 2.000 at this dale last. year. Gen- erally speaking, the holdings in Canada are away down from a year ago.

The Florida aebago potatoes now starting to move are report- ed to be about the same volume as last year in spite of a I) per cent increase in acreage. The California crop, which is due to move in quantity is late May and June. is about ten days later than normal -- all of which adds up to a good market for, the balance of holdings in this Province.
