THINK MORE DIED.

Survivors Say Eight Passengers Are
Missing from Santa ROsa's List.
Santa Barbara, July SIN spite of
assertions from company officials and
ships officers to the contrary. the pas
sengers of the wrecked steamer Santa
Rosa, who arrived here early today
after a thrilling battle with the break
ers that smashed the stranded ship,
declare that more than four sailors
lost their lives.
One hundred and ninety-two passen-
gers are all that have been accounted
for so far, say the survivors. There
were 200 on the steamer and many of
the rescuers declare that the missing
ones went down to death when the
surf battered life fats to pieces. Few
of the shipwrecked voyagers have re-
covered from the nerve racking strain
of the battle with the breakers in the
dark last night Many of the rescued
women are still historical under the
care of physicians who were called
when the trains bearing the survivors
arrived here this morning. Those that
were able to continue the journey
south boarded regular trains this
morning and the first was due to ar
rive at Los Angeles at S:45 o'clock.
Others will take later trains but
large number especially of the women
will not be able to travel for a day
or more.
Many of the passengers were vehe-
ment in their denunciation of the Off
GERS who refused to land the passen-
gers soon after the Santa Rosa
grounded near Point Argue1lo- Cap
tain Faria, who was making his first
trip as commander of the vessel, de-
clined, they say, to listen to the pleas
of the passengers who desired to be
put ashore before the gale arose and
brought them face to face with death.
He replied to entreaties, it is said,
with the statement thai he had re-
ceived instructions from the Pacific
Coast Steamship officials 10 permit no
one to go ashore until il became alb
solutely necessary

QUIET WEEK IN TRADE.
Business Affected by Combination of
Adverse Circumstances.

New York, July -Bradstreet's
says:
Excessively hot weather. half-yearly
shutdoW ms for repairs and inventories,
vacations and holidays, have combined
to make last week a quiet period in
trade and industry. While the hot
spell, now apparently mCderating, has
been helpful to trade in light summer
fabrics and wearing apparel at retail,
that branch of demand has hardly
equaled expectations, while uncertain
ties as to crops have tended to restrict
or repress operations fer the future
In the southwest some cancellations
of orders are reported a. a result of
crop uncertainty, but advices as to the
severity of this movement differ at
different markets.
Industry generally is quiet over the
turn of the year period. Caution and
conservatism, with a fair degree of
optimism in the face of depressing
weather conditions, are II evidence in
leading lines.
Cotton goods are quiet, and much
interest lies in that crops progress,
pending which operations are closely
curtailed.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending July 6
were $50, against 227 last week, 1872
in the like week of 1910. 1872 in 1909,
246 in 1908 and 1876 in 1907.
BUSINESS 1dliuTeS IN canada IOr the
week number IS, which compares with
81 last week and s in the correspond
ing week of 1910.
Wheat, including flour, exports from
the United States and Canada for the
week ending July 6, aggregate 1,347.-
275 bushels, against 2,07S,4O5 bushels
last week and 1.563.775 This week last
year.
Corn exports for the week are $780,
OF bushels, against 71S,84S bushels
last week and 190,077 bushels in 1910.
