Tho Gov ernor of Washington has dono tho same and tho commercial bodies of tho Northwest aro Joining In a con certed movement to arouso public in tercst In observance of tho week. "Buy them by tho box! Eat them! can them; pickle them; prcservq them; find out Just how valuable a fruit tho pench Is," is tho advice that is going to go out broadcast to tho pcoplo of the Northwest in connec tion with tho movement. Tho movement Is launched to ov ercome tho most critical situation that tho poach growers In tho North west havo ovor mot. Tho general peach crop of tho United States has been tho largest In years, and tho Eastern markets all through the country nro demoralized. Many Priccw Knll Below Cost Tho most of tho growers nro able to get for their product has not ex ceeded the cost of production at any tlmo, nnd in a groat many cases far bolow that cost. In tho lnrgo peach sections of Washington tho growers face tho nltornntlvo of either getting tho cost of production or losing their entire exponso and labor in raising tho fruit. Sovoral hundred cars may not bo picked ns a result, unless tho pcoplo cat them. Thoro has novor boon a time In tho Northwest when tho peach crop was of n bettor quality than this season. In splto of tho lowest prevailing prices for a long tlmo, tho nmount of peaches consumed has boon relative ly less this year than In past seasons. No great movomont has taken placo to can tho peaches thoro has been Ilttlo buying by tho box.

NEARLY ALL COMMODITIES HE LOW OU QUOTATIONS NOW Portlnnd Wholesalers Say It Will bo Difficult to Advniu'o Prices Again (nr Amoclilf rrrM t. cry ef Tlmn.l PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 2. Low er prices Is the tendency of nearly every commodity for domestic con sumption, nnd whllo this condition prevails It will be difficult for pro ducers and Jobbers to advance prices, This is tho view of several represen tative dealers in foodstuffs. "Consumers among the mnss of tho common people decllno to pay ililghcr prices," snld ono of tho fore most dealers. "Meats, fish, sugar, flour and other staples havo come down from former high prices, nnd aro uuo for iiirtiior declines. Vege tables and fruit havo been nnd aro selling nt uncommonly low prices. Consumers scorn to gauge tho price of all other commodities by tho downward movement of so many Btn ples, and aro clamoring for oppor tunity to mako tholr monoy go far ther In purchasing articles of food necessities that havo not yot de clined appreciably. It Is for this reason that they aro Insisting on lower prices for dairy and poultry products nnd other supplies, which remain steady In prlco. "It Is no tlmo to talk advancing tho prlco of any commodity that tho mans of consumers can find substi tutes for or enn limit themselves In consumption. Consumors havo shown their ability to curtail tho demand for various food products. Stiffen ing of prices always results In less oned demand, nnd with this nxiom .boforo them the wlso producers and Jobbers know that It Is well not to attempt to cither advance prices or mnlntaln high prices when tho ten dency Is for lowor prices.
