LAPRIII. 20. 1951 inform Prices & 5 ?Market Report I f ,From the weekly report by ntr. W. R. Shaw. Deputy Minister of Agriculture: Butter has sagged in price to almost the requested floor in the Maritimes and below that floor in Upper Canada. The Montreal wholesale price is 50c for fresh delivered Solids, and at Tomato '19 1-2 - 60c. In the Maritimes prices in Nova Scotia are 63c wholesale for Prints. and 65c in the Jobbing trade: in New Bruns- wick 64 1-2c wholesale and 60c in the Jobbing trade. Prince Ed- ward Island is still at iLs pre- vious level of 70 1-2c wholesale and 72c Jobbing. These prices will likely conform very shortly. however, to a common pattern. iln the meantime our production continues to be very low. For the week ending April 7th 34,009 pounds as against 48,631 pounds for the same week last year; I ernmenf." fund." ince. decrease of 30 per cent. Are we going out of dairying at rrapld rate? In Ontario for the week ending April 1th Ip- proximately 670,000 pounds of butter were produced as against 335,000 pounds or the same week last year. Th is 11 per cent be- low their five year average. Un- less we have an extraordinary pasture year butter supplies will undoubtedly be scarce. Eggs and Poultry Egg production on Prince Ed- ward Island is reaching its peak. Prices remain strong. Grading Stations are quoting producers: AL 46, AM 44, AP and B 38-40. Dealers to Grading Stations for the graded pack delivered: AL 53, AM51,APandB45.C30. And the same pack to Dealers: Grade AL 56, AM 54. AP and B 47. Consumers are paying 60-62:: for AL. AM 58-00, AP 50, B 49-52. It will be noted that there is a spread of 18c per dozen be- tween the producer and the con- sumer price for Grade AL. I also note that the spread from the producer on the graded pack de- livered is 7c per dozen on the same PREMIER JONES TRUSTS THE PEOPLE V A letter has appeared in the press. sign- ed by J. Harrison MacFarlane. C. F. Can- didafe in Fourfh Prince. which reflects dis- . credit on the elecforafe of this Province. He speaks of the "shady practices that we all know go on at election fime.' that "the use of money and liquor has be- come all foo prevalenf in corrupting voters." Such money. he says. comes from "corpor- afions seeking special favours of the gov- I am in entire agreement with Mr. Mac- Farlane when he urges a clean campaign. and if is a source of safisfacfion to all of us that recent campaigns have been free from mud-slinging facfics which many years ago characterized some elections. , "ill ..Buf for.a candidate to suggest openly that the electors of this Province can be bribed is an insult to that same electorate. Mr. R. R. Bell. himself. is much concern- ed about whaf he calls the.

If Mr. Bell would seek out for criticism the members of his own Party who started the rumour fhal'"fhe Liberals would stop pay- ment of gasoline rebates to fishermen,-which V 'rumour is enfiroly false and wifhouffubliiyil factual foundation. he would do much to eliminate that form of affempfed bribery.

This spread. to my mind. can be contracted to some extent to the advantage of both the con- sumer and the producer.

Potatoes The potato situation is showing a. few weak kicks in the United States. but nevertheless the gen- eral situation is not particularly attmctive. There is a possibility that the old potato season may wind up a. little stronger. In the meantime potatoes will be begin- ning to sprout and the grading costs and shrinkage will be high- er. Movement continues fair with an average of 35 cars a day leav- ing the lsland. Both starch fact- ories at Hunter River and Baltic are working to capacity; a total of 35.000,buohels have been util- ized in this way already. Grow- ers must now arrange bookings with the starch factory before making del-iveries. The market for talblestock continues weak and the seed market is practically finvished. Prices for both tiablestock and seed are approximately 4-lc per bushel delivered to the car at all points. There is only light move- ment of turnips at the present time and little demand.

I didn't rec- Oznlze-yes, I'm staying here with Patty. Why. certainly " she turned from the telephone with a burning face and handed the re- ceiver to Patty. "I'm going to my room," she said shortly. "That's Raoul Blenvenu, as you probably gathered. He began by telling me he didn't recognize my voice, and almost the nextnninute he asked to speak to you, as it there wasn't a thing in the world he could say to me." Patty took the telephone and Stella went stormlly up the stairs. When Patty rejoined her. she was in her slip. sitting before the dressing table and viciousy brush- tng back her curls. with a mutin- ous expression on her face. "Stella." said Patty." "Raoul telephoned to say he thought it would be fun to go to Antoine's after the parade. He'd already got in touch with Drew. and Drew thought it was a grand idea. Raoul told me to speak to Richard and see if he wouldn't like to bring Ameiina, which of course he would. Raoul has asked Clarlnda himself. But he said if you'd like-to join us. he was sure that Gall-" "Oh. Patty. for the luvamike! You always thought yourself that Gail was an awful bore!" "1 never thought Gail was an awful bore. I've always liked him very much. It's just that I didn't love him." Patty said patiently.

"I hadnt heard anything -about this frenzy of patriotism and and I hadn't heard that Raoul Blcnvenu was taking clsrindn Darcoa out on the town." "I don't think he takes her out very often.
