Fall River. Sept lf.-Much activity was
shown I'm the cotton goods markets of
New England last week. and there was a
strong demand for both wide and narrow
goods So active was bidding on certain
lines that manufacturers advanced prices
from a sixteenth To an eighth OF cent
and I'm a few instances quarter or n

Early in the week S'2-inch. 6i-6i, 5lo

vanced to 53s cents, and II Is doubtful II

that wide goods had good run, and
although there are only a few mills maxi

this style sold for cents yard and
later was advanced n sixteenth OF cent.
at which price several thousand pieces
were sold.
There was good business in sateens and
twills and the call for Albert twills was
excellent. In cotton yarns. spinners have
hardened up materially. The raw cotton
market took on much firmness. and this
condition helped the situation In the cloth
and yarn markets. II is estimated that
the total sales last week will reach about
$50 900 pieces. OF which about 100000 pieces
are spots.

1t seems unwise TO go to extremes
when an Improvement might be maue
without materially disturbing the coun-

Now that extreme pessimism has passed
in the investment markets, there is
chance 20 look up and glance al ths
events during past months.
The year 1913 promises to be rec
ord one so far as the security markets
enter into the country's statistics. Pri-
marily seats on the New York Stock
Exchange have touched new low fig-
ures for any year since 1899. Some
standard securities have sunk to levels
not recorded since 1896. and some new
high prices have been recorded. But

confined to the United States, as ABROAD

 This is the of the charge made by whose position whose place in the Republican party and whose experience legislator entities his views to unusual consideration.
 MT. Judson's views are expressed with defniteness and certainty to another point. He says: that member of the House for brief time. I would least guafanteee the people of Connecticut that truth of these charges of infamous conduct would speedily ascertained
 If there is A "CORRUPTION sHOP'' in the rooms of the State of Education it should easy to and the House should be willing inquire the very purpose, |

 This is difficult task than the other and it qures civic and political courage of and high order
 The charges that Mr. Judson makes against certain Republican leaders true to extent and places in the Democratic party.
 There is in Bridgeport for instance number of rupt Democratic leaders who constantly in ton with corrupt Republican leaders Other cities in the state similarly situated Such investigation Mr. Judsons suggests in view of the wide circulation that has been given tohe charges would to be imperative for the honor of the House of Representatives It scarcely conceivable that the 248 composing the House wfee otherwise than that full complete and fearless investigation required we'll for the manten of the dignity of the General Assembly for tho tinuance of their own. self respect.

CONGRESS TOLD OF oUTRAGEs
 ON INDIANS IN PERU

Washington, Feb. 8-A graphic re- port of atrocities committed against the native rubber gathererS of Putu- mayo district of Peru, made by Con
 sul Stuart Fuller, Iquitos, after five months trip through the South Amer ican jungles, has been sent to Con- gress by President Taft.
 Agents of the British company, ac- cused by Sir Roger Casment in the horrible cruelties upon the natives, frustrated every move ] that Fuller made. He was able to obtain no inv formation that the company did not desire he should procure. A British consul who accompanied Fuller re- gently made similar report to his gov ernment that .'200 wild Barbadoes men were imported to Peru in 1904" said the report.
 .1They were armed with wincheeters and sent to the interior to enslaye the dociIe natives. The exercise of this illegal cornpulsion was accomplished
 by gross outrages upon the Indians, including murder. flogging and torture
 in which the company through its
 agents. froced the Barbadoes men to
 participate. They were penalized for
 not bringing in certain quantity and
 quality of India rubber from the most
 remote distances Frequently the agents would make an example of some worker whose rubber was not
 up to the mark. His right hand might be cut off he might be killed out right, or he might be strung up to 8 l tree by his toes until he died.'' Fuller stated that there is evidence that the company has mended ite
 ways for the present. Some of the natives, however, bear stunps od arms and legs as examples of what
 i They | are small people, dociIe and 1 childs4ike,'' Fuller declared.
 '''The Putumayo region is remote i from the capital and governments
 authority. The rule of the region is 1 left entirely in the hands of the
 white managers. They are literally 'monarchs of all they survey
 'TThe Indians practically are in 3 condition of slavery. Families pass | indebtedness from generation to gen | eration and in payment often se1 | their lives to the company.
 ''The situation is one to be deplor- | ed but the new administration ir 1 Peru, headed by President Billing
 hurst, has already taken great stepf | towards the Solution of the muct | mooted question
 There it's no good reason why the | Servfan government should not take 1 drastic measures and end forever al l forms of abuses against these harm | less, inoffensive Indians-and I rec
 ommend that the matter be put LII 1 to them and enforced by the mora i support of the United States
