Vessels from England.

Local representatives OF British
transatlantic steamship lines declared
yesterday that they felt no apprehen-
sion over the fact that sailings OF yes
sells from Great Britain 10 this coun-
try had been deferred. The delays
were attributed n the overcrowded
freight and shipping conditions.
At the Office of the International
Mercantile Marine it was said that the
White Star liner Arabic would leave
Liverpool to-day for her trip to New
York. Her scheduled day Of departure
was last Wednesday. Congestod ship
ping in the Mersey River. it was ex-
planned, made it impossible for the big
vessel 10 get through. IL was also de-
clared that the steamer Philadelphia

dock az liverpool on scheduled time
to-day and bring over a large number
Of passengers.
There is no Cunard Line steamer due
to leave England until March Q. when
