Louis Costa, manager of the Pierce
Line, which yesterday delayed the de-

said he would give no advance notice
as to when the vessel would sail. as he
believed German agents in this city
were keeping the U-53 informed as

entente nations here.
Exporters here say the submarine
raid and the consequent advance of
the insurance rates on transatlantic
transportation, amounting, in some
cases, to 500 per cent, will check ship
ments from New York to European
ports. There was talk of a revival Of
railroad embargo on freight, but no
new action was taken. A New York
Central official said no attempts are
being made to halt freight on the way
not bring to New York more freight
than the steamers could take away.

prepared for an interruption of trans
atlantic trade which might result from
submarine raids, it was learned to-day
