Henry Ford exploded it long ago. He brought out cars of ample sue, but built the bodies as well as other parts, light in weight, and put in motors of ample power.

Since the first of the current month, outside of transactions between dealers there has been very little business in the Oregon market, and that little for the most part has been at prices under the top quota tions of the past two months. The demand in the East has fallen off in no uncertain way, lnuicauug wai many of the brewers at least have hops enough to hid them to the end of the season. In some quarters now 40 cents is be lieved to fairly represent the market on Oregon goods, and sales between dealers at a fraction under that figure have been reported this week. A fact that in this connection is taken to mean much is that the dealers are now more or less generally on the soiling side, indicating, in their minds at least, that the height of the season has been passed and that the market from this time on will gradually gravi tate to the 1912 basis. It is not believed, however, that there is any danger of tne marKei going In any disastrous way in the near future. The comparative strength of the contract as assurance that hop values during the coming twelve months will hold at a relatively high figure. For the coming crop in this state it is said that contracts at 25 to 261-2 cenU are readily obtainable, and for three-year contracts 15 to 19 cents have been rather freely offered for some weeks. To date the growers In this state have shown little disposi tion to sell ahead. In California a good deal of con tract business is said to have already been put through, as high as 271-2 cents having been paid in some in stances for the coming crop. The few growers in Oregon who have 1911s yet on hand are still hold ing more or less firmly for better figures than are now being offered, but for several days practically no trade In the country has been reported.

'TWILL BE TUFT AND LEADERS HAVE ALL DAY MEETING Ex-President In Constant ommunica tion With Them La Follete Will Not Quit. NEW YORK, Feb. 7r-Theodore Roosevelt's candidacy for the Repub lican presidential nomination is to be announced soon. It Is said today. Definite statement that the former president is in the race will come, not from Roosevelt himself but from the progressive leaders who np to now have been supporting Senator La Fol- lette of Wisconsin. The formal an nouncement probably will be signed by George Record, of New Jersey; Clifford and Amos Pinchot, former United States Senator Beveridge of Indiana, Medill McCormlck of Chica go, and possibly by Governor Hiram Johnson of California. All of these leaders held a series of conferences here today, during which thev were in constant communication with Colonel Roosevelt and though tho conferees would not talk of what waJ done, it is understood that Roosevelt has agreed to run, "If drafted." It is stated by those "In the know" that Roosevelt will make no public and personal announcement of his can didacy In the near future, but that he Is likely to make such a public state ment outlining his principles as was demanded by Senator La Follette. What the Wisconsin senator will do In the event of Roosevelt putting him self squarely on record as regards progressive policies is also shrouded in mystery as yet It is believed, however, that La Fol- MODERN SPECIALISTS, INC.

EUGENE, Or., Feb. 3 "Taft will be the Republican nominee, and Bry an Democracy's candidate," declared ex-Governor Hoch, of Kansas, talking with a group of ex-Kansans here to day, prior to addressing a Lyceum course tonight. 'If Roosevelt were out of the game, LaFollette wohld have a fighting chance, I believe, but since these men hate each other as they do, there is no chance for their getting together and Taft will be the convention's choice." The ex-Governors picking of Bryan was rather unexpected, but he gave bis reasons, saying: "Bryan Is going to stampede the Baltimore convention. With Wilson and Harmon and Folk or Clark In the running, it will be absolutely Impossi ble for the convention to nominate on the first ballot, and Bryan will be the solution of the deadlock.' Mr. Hoch, while being in sympathy with Wilson, believes the New Jersey man has injured bis cause by the dis agreement with Colonel Harvey. SNAPSHOTS OF FASHION.

As Arizona and Texas have been taking the bulk of the potato ship ments from this section, the dropping of a dime in the quotations there re cently had a oulck response from buy ers, UN IIchi ly ftTiinio wan tmyuig me limit here. The best price available for ordinary shipping stock U $1 per cental while a short time ago as high as $1.10 was nnlil The averaee for this class of stock is 95c per cental f. o. b. country snipping points. i Dealers are not willing to offer more than tl !n fur an extra fancy ffnod and $1.15 is now the average bid for this class of stuff. However, growers were j in no mood to sell recently at Ji.zs. Them Is azain a fair movement of , seed potatoes toward the south. ! serlouj advances are at present antic ipated. Tho Improvement affects principally the ordinary quality offerings and prices are generally 25c a box higher. This Is due to tho decreased supplies of ordinary quality and (he greater demand. Apple prices are ruling along Front Street, Portland, from $1.60 to $2.50 a box for good quality. Extra fancy apples ure practically out of market but fancy stock Is not quoted above $2.20 to $2.50, and there Is plenty of this quality at the price, Apples that formerly sold around $1.25 are now firm at $1.50 per box. This Is the quality that Hilda the prin cipal call nt the present time and any scarcity of offerings naturally brings quick response from the prlre. According to Information, no large lots of appleg are available at any point. For that reason the shipments must of necessity be confined to the local territory.

Nana &4dr Blx PRICE OF OATS UP FIFTY CENTS TON The price of oats is showing a fur ther advance of 50c a ton In the Port land market. Buyers are now eagerly bidding as high at $32.50 per ton for No. 1 white based upon track delivery. Very few oats are being offered and theseare in strong hands. Lead ing buyers are making every possible effort to land supplies, but the move ment Is restricted because growers are asking more money. Wheat market Is steady, but the tone Is not as strong as a few days ago. Foreign markets continue to react and there la practically nothing doing In an export way. Millers con tinue leading buyers of wheat at this time. No new business of Importance Is noted In the export flour trade, ord ers being few and of small volume. Only deferred delivery Is possible at all. Hay market Is weaker with prices generally 50c a ton lower.

For sale by all dealers. j The Portland L'nlon Stock Yards Company reports at follows; j Receipts for the past week have ! been as follows: Cattle, 1780 ; Culvc-i 118; hogs, 109:1; sheep, 2839; horses and mules, 20. The cattle market continues weak with more offering than the buyers cure to handle. This depression is no doubt due to the fact that trade In dressed beef is very light as com- 1 pared to former seasons, as well us ! the heavy runs we have had for the : lust mouth. Although the quality of cattle was exceptionally good the market was badly demoralized and I prices fell off at least 15c from last i week's quotatoons Best steers are ' selling around $5.90 to $5.95, cows , from $1.75 to $5 for the very best grades. Bulls and Hags are weak at ; $1 to $1.25 for the bent. A very draggy ; market In the cattle division has characterized this week's trade, i The hog market has stiffened up , somewhat, the run or the week was ' comparatively light and buyers sliow j ed a disposition to take hold of what t was offered. Market closed strong for the week at $0.70, and advance over last week's quotations. Demand for mutton continues good and all sheep arriving on the market this week found ready sale at prices I previously quoted. Week closed I steady to strong with lambs selling around 5c, wethers $4.75 to $4.85, best ONE CENT DECLINE IN PRICE OF ECGS There was a drop of lc a dozen In the price of eggs along Front street, Portland, Wednesday. While an occasional dealer might have possibly "held some one up' for 31c, providing he was a small buyer, general sales wero inndo at 30c n dozen. As a rule eggs are being sold along Front sheet ut this tlmo uncandled. Tho quality Is extremely good and for that reuson candling Is not only un necessary, but expensive to both boy er and si ller. Receipts of eggs along tho street wero very heavy and on this account the market softened quickly. Outside nvirkets are again softer and tho trade in Montan.i and the north, which form erly went to this city. Is going to Cali fornia Initrists owing to the lower prico avalhhlo there Present receipts of eggs would indi cate a very heavy IncreoHlng In the production. The outlook therefore for the Immediate future Is for lower prices, although weather conditions may nrfect the market one way or the other for awhile.
