WAREHOUSES HERE CROWDED. Delay and Insurance Loss Inflicted by Rulings on American The two new British Admiralty rulings affecting freight steamers, which wero given out Immediately following iioyd-ueorge rise to the head of Government, have brought abou moro freight congestion and more un certainty among private shippers than any of the many maritime Irregularis ties since the beginning of the war.

The ruling which has done the greatest harm to the shipping busi ness Is the requirement that English snips must carry luu per cent. ernment cargoes and that American ships visiting English ports must carry 85 or 90 per cent. Government This has left shippers with freight tor liKiivntnai purchasers In England almost no way of getting their goods across the Atlantic Ocean. Though the order has been in force only Blnce the first of January, there are said to have been piled up in warehouses enough privately owned freight to load at least ten of the very largest ships. Railroad yards in New Jersey are also said to be filling rapidly with cars of London and Liverpool freight.

Tho situation is expected to got worse. vners of American goods shipped these conditions suffer in two First from the delay which nec essarily follows tho curtailment of tho cargo space in transatlantic vessels, and, second, In the loss of Insurance which occurs when their goods are held out of one ship and forwarded Goods scheduled to go in one steamer are insured for that steamer. But since the new ruling, shippers are finding that often after the freight is insured for one vessel it Is held out and sent In another. The shipper often does not find this out until both steam- have departed, and then must mblo for new insurance. Rates may jump in the interim and the profit on the goods sold, while a lower Insurance risk was in force, may be wiped out.

Further Inconvenience Is beginning to follow the rule that tho dates of the departures of ships from English ports cannot be cabled to this country. When shippers know the sailing date of a ship from England they know approximately when she will arrive, and are uble to get their goods ready for shipment accordingly. Nqw no report is given of tho sailing date, and the Admiralty forbids the ship from reporting by wireless while at sea. The result is that no one on this side of tho ocean knows a thing freight for her may bo burled deep 1: glutted freight yards or even back 1 tho "hinterland," several days awa from the seaboard. The ship has wait longer In port for her cargo he assembled than if her coming ha.

been anticipated and loss results shippers and owners alike. TWENTY-THIRD REGT. DELAYED SIX HOURS Change in Routing Causes Stop over-Coyote and a Fire Enliven Trip. (Special to The Eagle.)
