Put at $5,OOO.OO0.
20 VESSELS ARE WRECKED.
Overturned Boat On Lake Huron Is
Still entifed-FederaI
Authorities Are
Censured.

Port Huron, Mich.-For the first
time since Sunday a day passed with
out revealing more lives lost in the
storm which overwhelmed the Great
Lakes the early part of the week. Only
one additional boat disaster was re-
ported and that was the wrecking Of
the steamer Major, off Whitetish Point,
in Lake Superior She was abandon
ed by her crew after futile effort
had been made to weather the second
storm of the week. The crew was
picked up by passing steamer.
The life loss among sailors is esti-
mated at approximately 256 and the
property loss is figured at more than
$4,000 The property loss includes
the score or more of vessels driven on
the rocks or shore and partially or
totally destroyed.
Captain May Describes Storm.
Capt. A. c. May, master of the H. b.
Hawgood. which was released from
Wees Beach, on the Canadian shore of
Lake Huron, saw the Inflated Regina,
Charles S. Price and Isaac NJ. Scott as
they sailed forward into the storm
Sunday afternoon. The Price was met
Just north of Sand Beach at noon Sun
day.
She was heading into it, and max
ing bad weather" said Captain May.
at was beginning to blow so hard that
| had turned the Hawgood and was
heading for the river. The Regina
was passed Is miles south of Sand
Beach She was making very bad
weather and was burying herself in
the seas.
THE wind and the sea kept increas-
ing and the snow got thicker We
couldn't tell how hard it was blowing,
but | should judge it was about 70
miles an hour from the north-north-
east. After while it got so thick we
couldn't see the smoke stacks.
ITO show how hard it was blowing,
three times | craWled over the top to
get from one side to the other. There
was no other way. If you got out
where the wind would strike you fair,
if you weren't blown overheard, your
brains would have been smashed out
on a stanchion. My worry was for
fear some of the crew would he wash

pilot house.
Our anchors didn't hold and we
went on the beach so hard +! almost
went through the pilot house. l have

COMMERCIAL
Weekly Review of Trade and
Market Reports.
Bradstreet's says:


Current trade reports, winter wheat
crop advices and consumption of steel
products indicate good present condi-
lions, but future buying is slow, con-
servatism is in evidence, finished steel
Is weaker as the result of increased
competition for orders and industry is
running at a slower gait, though the
quieting down is not general and 1t is
significant that numerous industries
are being pushed to make deliveries.
Conservatism displayed is largely
due to uncertainty over tariff read
justments, which it is thought may
force lower prices. Another factor
that exerts a strong deterring infiu-
ence is the absence of free market
for loans. But In many quarters con-
siderable improvement work is plan
ned for the spring of 1914. and
optimism still prevails.
Business failures for the week
were 305, which compares with 260
in 1912"
