Farmers as Well as Dealers
Approve Potato Standards.
PLAN BEING ARRANGED
."jrovement Inaugurated by Assocla-
tion Irately Formed Here Will
Mean Mnch for Fotafb
Industry of Oregon.
The progress made In or;anlzln the Ore
"on Potato Dealers Association and putting
Its policies Into practice should mean & great
Seal for the potato-growing: Industry of this
state. The object of the association Is to
secure standards for potatoes grown In Ore
gon and Inspection of. all shipments before
they are dispatched. Possession of an In
spector's ' certificate will eliminate the
troubles . that growers and shippers have
heretofore experienced by rejections on the
art of buyers which have frequently been
T 'Without cause.
That the growers are as much Interested
In the movement as the dealers was shown
by the large attendance of fanners at th
i-hearing given yesterday In this city by the
r" Public Service Comry iaalon. The plans of
- the association were explained by its mem
'libers and the subject was dlscussea from
every angle. A committee was appointed
' consisting of Jessrs- . Swank. Hlslop, Mor
rison, Lynch and Evans to formulate rules
"for grading and Inspection and to outline
the grades to be adopted. The committee
-will make Its report today.
Four grades of .Oregon potatoes were ap
proved of, to be known as Oregon fancy,
Oregon Xos. 1 and 2, which are higher than
the grades suggested by the Government
and a classification for small Oregon seed.
' District Inspectors will be appointed for the
- different potato growing sections of the
state, so that potatoes may be officially
passed upon at shipping points.

Utilities Score Advances Based on
Belief or Maintenance of Divi
dends Bonds in General in
More Diversified Demand.
NEW YORK, Dee. 28. Increasing recog
nition of the advantages accruing to rails
from Government control, especially low
priced and reorganized roads, doubtless im
pelled the sweeping demand at materially
higher levels for that class of stocks in
today's broad and active market.
This feeling was encouraged by the dec
laration of initial dividends on the new 7
and 6 pe cent preferred shares of the Rock
Island road. Those issues made extreme
gains of IS and 11 points, respectively, foi
the day, and 21 Vi to 23V4. points over
Wednesday's final quotations. In keeping
with the theory of Governmental guaran
tees was the five-point rise in New Haven.
A $45,000,000 note obligation of that com
pany matures next ' May, and it Is assumed
that Washington will take on that burden.
Evidently the same line of reasoning ap
plied to various utilities, gains of 8Vfc to 5
points in that group resulting from buying
based on the belief of a maintenance of div
idends. Investment rails retained practically all Of
yesterday's substantial gains, when they
were not supplemented by further advances
of two to five points, notably in Pacifies,
grangers and some of the coalers.
Seasone.l industrials, equipments, coppers,
motors and a score of specialties registered
gross, advances of two to five points, these
beings partly surrendered in the realizing
of tlie last hour.
Sales amounted to 1.185.000 shares.
- The general bond market, especially rails,
was strong on more diversified demand. Lib
erty 4s ruled at 97.2 to 96.90 and the 8V4s
at 98.52 to 98.40. dfotal sales, par value,
aggregated $7,125,000. Old United States 4s
rose i per cent on call.

Further Trading: 'in " December Op
tion Is Prohibited by Directors of
, Chicago Board EiportB'hj--:
Ing Strengthens Oats. -'
CHICAGO, - Dec. 28. Storms ana cold,
which threatened to hinder seriously any
improvement In. traffic conditions . on the
railroads, led today to an upturn In prices
of corn. Tbe market closed firm. H4?Uc to
8c net higher, with January $L26 to
$1.26 and May $1.25. Oats gained Tsl4c.
There were lossea ot 20 to 7.5 cents in pro
visions. It ' was not until after midday that the
bullish sentiment, predominated regarding
corn. -Weakness earlier was largely-due to
notice that the directors of the exchange
had prohibited further trading In the De
cember option and had fixed a settling price.
As such action . removed pressing necessity
for Immediate supplies, the market was
eased to a notable extent. Later, however,
the attention of dealers focused on the out
look for protracted unfavorable weather and
the likelihood that the crop movement would
be kept down to small proportions.
Buying on the part- of export houses
seemed to be chiefly responsible for the
strength ot oats. Liquidation of December
holdings weakened the market at first, but
the-effect failed to last.
Sharp breaks In the vslue of bogs carried
down provisions. The hog market here was
overburdened with receipts, and there were
predictions of heavy - receipts throughout
January.
Leading futures ranged as follows:

NUMBER OF FAILURES DECREASE
Best Showing; Made in This Respect in Fast
Six Years.
NEW YORK, Dec 28. Dun's tomorrow
will say:
What has been, in many respects the most
eventful year of economic history neared
Its closing with the announcement of the
Governmental control of the country's
transportation systems, causing a striking
recovery' in prices of securities, but with rec
ognition that not all of the readjustment
arising from war -coadltiona have yet been
witnessed. i.
. With the business outlook still obscure
and likely to remain uncertain, there is no
abatement of the disposition to operate
ahead 'with caution, .and the customary
policy 'of deferring important engagements
until after -the year-end now,o appears In
many quarters. But what has stood out
prominently through . recent months of un
precedented changes has been the absence
of eonsptcuops loss of confidence and ot
any general movement" toward cancellation
of existing contracts. The fact Is that,
while some unsettlement has necessarily been
experienced In trade and Industry, and though
there has been not a little hesitation In
most directions, faith In the future has no
appreciably diminished and not only have
many new concerns started, but the year's
Insolvency retttrns make the best numeri
