MRS. ROOSEVELT DIRECTS PREPARATION OF MEAL Head of Nation Who Pridee His Ability on Carving Appor tions the Meat. (Washington. Bureau of The Journal ! Washington, Dec. li. Chrlstmaa din tier to be- served tomorrow in the White Home prom lees to be una of the Jollleat meals of the year tn the presidential mansion. This Is saying a great deal, for during Prealdent Rooaevelt'a ad ministration nearly every meal morn ing, noon and night Is one of good cheer and frequently quite a social event. The present chief executive de clares that he is so busy that It Is only at meal time that he has an oppor tunity to mix with Ma lively household of children and cultivate the acquaint ance of personal friends. This being the general condition throughout the; year, ouch an occasion as Chrlstmaa is not allowed to slip by without every ad vantage being taken to make It a most enjoyable family gathering. Christmas at tha White Houss is ob served as a family festival. In this President Roosevelt follows the general policy of other presidents, with the ex ception of Prealdent Hayes, who used to have ss Ms guest on Christmas day the various official of tha executive de partment of tba government. In earlier daya the meal waa served at noon or early In tha afternoon. With President Roosevelt, It Is served In the evening, thus giving the chief executive an op portunity to engage late In the after noon In his favorite pastime of horae back riding, which Is one of bis plana for. engendering a wholesome appetite for the feast to follow. The Chrlstmaa dinner at the White House will not be as large an affair as many, gatherings In private homes on the same day. There are eight members of the Roosevelt family, all of whom ara horns for the occasion. In addition to these there will be six or eight guests, close personal frienda and near relatives of the president and his wife. The dinner will ba served In the presi dent's private dining room, for the large state dining room, where are served all formal banquets at tha White House. Is so large and Imposing that It lacks the cosiness snd good cheer so essential to a good jolly Chrlstmaa dinner. Tba walla of the private dining room are white and the furniture Is of mahogany of a quaint old style that gives tha room an appearance of an ideal place for a family gathering. The White House dinner will not be aa elaborate aa many that will bo served In private homea of the oountry. It will be prepared In the large kitchen in the basement of the executive mansion, for while the smaller kitchen is generally used for meals served In the private dining room, the larger one la neceasary for Christmas, as the big hooded range Is required to properly prepare the 10 pound turkey which forms the feature of the White House dinner. This turkey Is a Rhode Island bird and Is a gift to the president. Horace Var. a farmer of the little state, an nually makea this gift to the White House. He has followed this practice for 10 years. Bach fall Vara goes over his stock of poultry, aad picking out tha bes looking turkey, rears it with tha sole idea of having It grace the presi dential table at Chrlstmaa. Thts bird la fattened and during the week before Chriatmaa Is killed and dressed. It Is then carefully packed and shipped to the White House. A simple letter of thanks la all that Vara will accept, and it Is doubtful if any man In ths (Tnlted States has a Mors interesting collection or au tograph letters from presidents than Vara tuts tn the SO years he haa given the White House the prlnclpsl feature of ths Chrlstmaa dinner. Old faahloned home cooking rules at the White House on Christines. Per state affslrs ths president and Mrs. Roosevelt give the preparation or the meal Into the hands of French chefs, but when It comes to the Christmas din ner the French cooks, with their fancy entree and bewildering desserts, are given a holiday. The mistress or the White House personally direct th preparation of the dinner. She has wo men to do the cooking, thpse who know how to Draper turkey, oranberry aauc and mince pies, which ars so essential to a pre-eminently family gathering aa Christmas dlnnsr at the White House. The staff of the White House pute forth Ita best effort to decorate for the Christmas dinner tsble. Pretty greens and glowing blossoms from the conser- vstorles of the presidential mansion are ueed tn great profusion. The new din ner set, ornamented In gold, which Mra Roosevelt Is said to have deslgnsd her self, will be used. The prealdent takes great pride in his ability as a carver. He has the turkey brought to the table direct from the oven snd with swift and deft movements carves ths bird, appor tioning the dark and light meat person ally among his guests. The dinner win ne strictly a ramuy one. Afterward there will be games and general frolicking, possibly ending aa frequently does similar occasions at the White House, in an old fashioned Vir ginia rtt, in which old and young Join alike.

Th grain trade at all centers was suspended today and nothing will b done until next Tuesday. On Thursday the local market closed at 1141 Pr cental for May wheat and 11. OS for May barley. Spot wheat on that day was quoted at S1.4IVt to 11.46 per cental for ahlpplng grades, and feed barley at II. 10 to II. IS. Th local markst was unusually quiet today considering It was the day be fore Chlrstma. and retailers; were ex tend to ley in extra supplies for Sun day and Monday. A expected, grapes were on hand In anticipation of a good demand at fancy prices, but they proved a disappointment, being generally In poor Condition and neglected. Between II and 40 chaata of strawberries were received and they dragged. Toward the close of the day unsold stock was of regular at very low prleea. It was re marked that If the beat had been In New York they would have brought very fancy prices. OrangM plentiful aaat Cheap. Oranges were very plentiful and cheap, a considerable part of the offerings being either small or partly green. Pine varieties of apples have been held rather more firmly of late, but the market haa been overstocked with low grade. There waa an abundance of bananas. Huckle berries atiU linger In market. Persim mons are getting scarcer. Cranberries were In lessened demand. Italian chestnuts wer cheaper. Pote toea and onions were without sny quot able change and qulster. The receipts of Lo Angeles tomatoes and summer squssh were larger. 210 boxes of the former and 102 boxes of the latter. Both article were cheaper. . Poor Torn to a Coming.

Ths butter market had a top heavy appearance and there waa some specula t lng. Stocks have been accumulating, and It is now anticipated that there will be quite a slump In price next week. Some houses took the Initiative yester day. Cheese was unchanged and easy. Egg were weaker, and when the mar ket opens on Tuesday there will prob ably be quite a cut in prices. Tarkey tits St Small.

HOP SITUATION IS NOW RATHER MIXED Total Production in Oregon This Year Eighty-Five Thous and Bales. op Crop of Orgon. Production lnTH)4 15.000 bales In growers' hands 14.000 bales In dealers' hands K.000 bales Total In state . ,4.000 bales The hop situation I rather a pussla at the moment and It may take some time for It to work Itself clear. There are some dealers who assert that the mar ket Is In very good shspe and that prices from this time forth should show an ad vance. On the other hand some of the larger dealers assart thst the situation, if showing any change, la weaker and that prleea a rg already too high. On thing BY certain, however, there waa quite liberal buying of hope during tit paat week at prices thst sre not so very fsr from the top snd 30 V cents wss offered for a very fancy lot for sx port. Several aalea at 10 cents a pound were reported. In th vicinity of Aurora one dealer has been out all week trying to secure sufficient hops to fill an order st 30 cents for cbolce but liVsays that th growers ar more than ever determined to hold for an advance In price Plncus of Tacoma, through his auper Intendent here. Harry L. Hart, purchased considerable hops this week to fill some London orders. Thla statement has been attacked by the bear element but from shipping receipts produced Mr. Hart has shown that the goode were actually pur chased and aold. One of the queerest altuaMlona that haa yet transpired In the hop market wss the holding back, of the Amount of hops on hand by the growers whenever information of the unsold crop was solicited. Some weeks sgo It was al most posltlvsly ststed that the hops In the hsnds of the growers of this stele amounted to lets than 12.000 bales but nr TI this time It transplrei that thsre are several thousand more bales than that at the present moment. ft Is now estimated that there ar about 1S.000 bales unsold In the state of Oregen In growers' hands and about S. 000 In the lunula of dealers. This email amount in the handa of th dealers Is surprising Inasmuch s It haa been esti mated that they control at least lS.ttS baits. SUGAR WAR IS ON, NAY GROW FIERCE Independents Throw Down Gauntlet to the Western in 'Frisco. the SLASHING OF PRICES HAS ALREADY BEGUN Portland Trade Unaffected as Yet But New People Promise Something. The sugar market Is on an edge. Prices may possibly go higher, but t present things look the rjtverse to the trade. There Is trouble ffT the camp of th sugar refiners This Is not news to Journal readers, for this was told In these columns several months ago. The trouble has Increased, however. and during the paat week- a number of the moat Influential wholesale grocers of Sun Francisco quit the organisation of their fellow grocers because they said they could buy sugar cheaper from the Independent refiners of the Hawaiian Islands. The claim is made by the Independ ent men that they can produce sugar and ship it into this territory at a good slxed cut under the figures of the west ern refinery the big organisation, which controls the sugar trade of all that territory which lies between the Rocky mountains and the Pacific ocean. At the present time th raw sugar market Is In a very firm condition, and during the paat week or so ths price in New York haa shown some wonderful advances along with the rlaea in value of the refined product. Out on the Pa clflc coast, however, price have not changed for the reason that the western company has been frightened by the organisation or a number of new com panics. Now the red rag has been thrown In the face of the bull by th cutting of 10 cents a hundred pounds in the quota tlons on dry granulated by the Inde pendent refiners' agents In ths Bay City. So far the old concern haa not taken up the challenge, and there srs those who believe that It will not do so. On the other hand the Independent raflners say that thy will keep their quotations under those of the western company, and thereby secure the major part jf the trade. In this city prices hsve not as yet been dleturbed es all of the merchants have remained with the western com pany. Th Independent people say that If the wholesalers here do not handle their product they will aell It to the re tallera direct. The I outcome will be watched durfhsrihe coming week with interest.
