Tie-Up of Trans-Atlantic Traf- fic Prevents Importation of Goods. | ‘ American women probably will be | among the first to foel the serious ef- fects of the war in Europe, The sad news dealing a blow to fashion pur- veyors and their customers came to- day by cable to several New York importing firms and Customs House brokers. The big fashion shows scheduled for Paris the middle of Au- gust have been cancelled, and women here face the possibility of being forced to create their own styles. Advances in prices of imported goods are already noticeable here as the immediate effect of the partial tie-up of transatlantic shipping. Many importing houses with quanti- ties of goods on hand have boosted their prices as high as 25 per cent., anticipating a big clean-up at the ex- pense of American buyers, but after that they ‘face a season of no business if a completa shipping tie-up comes. ‘The value of imported goods pase- ing threugh the Customs House here is from $500,000 to $800,000 daily and often as high as $1,000,000. There has been no falling off because the ships now coming in started from the other side before the war crisis became acute, But by the end of the week it is expected that little or nothing will be coming in, and New York import- ers are gravely alarmed. Carl Stern of M. J. rhett & Co,, large firm of ‘I anticipate the first serious effect felt by the American public will be within the next few weeks, when women will find that there will be no new fash- fons from Paris. The big openings have been announced and buyers are io Parts waiting for the big August shows, rgady to copy and bring over fall gowns. I think Fifth avenue wil! be the scene of much war suffering. “Novelties have stopped coming over, for even if we could provide the sbips European manufacturers would find themselves unable to do business. “Importing firms that have no large stocks on hand but are walting Buropean shipments may go under shortly. Food exports to Europe are uncertain. If they can get through it will mean high prices throughout America, but if they can’t the mar- ket here will be giutted and low prices must prevail.” Optimism prevails at the brokerage office of Ammerman and Patteraon, No, 31 State street. A member of the firm said: “Business is bound to be dull, but I think there will be enough done to keep things going.

Plenty will take chances on getting to and from Norwegian, Danish, Italian and Spanish’ ports with goods. I know some importers who have arranged for roundabout shipments of goods from Europe, but the/prices here are bound to be high, with Heele increased profit for the importers because of much higher war insurance and higher freight rates, I fear th will increase the cost of living io FRENCH DOCTOR SHOT BY THE GERMANS FOR POISONING WELLS. LONDON, Aug. 3.—Telegrams from the Chief of the German General Staff received at the German Embassy here assert that a French doctor, with two assistants. tried to poison the wells var Metz with cholera microbes. The doctor was tried by court-martial and shot. Another French party, according to the same source of information, en- deavored to blow up a strategic tun- nel near Cochem, on the Moselle, All ‘were shot. AMERICANS ARE NOT IN DANGER IN PARIS, AMBASSADOR CABLES.

All of the prominent wine Importers in this city are busy mal inquiries id io the prospects of ship- ments of the fate of wines now in transit tothis country. And they have not learned anything to give them hope that the outlook will improve. As the importers receive shipments only every six weeks there is very little wine now in reserve in the cellars of the dealers or the hotels or restau. rants. The only solution of the problem that the Importers see is for the ship- ment of the French wines, champagne mainly, to some other country—to Spain, for example—and then its transshipment to this country. Added to the fact that war {s In progress in Europe, this has been & bad year for the wine growe 1 In France. The total output for the year is estimated to be about 2,600,000 gal- Ions, Jess than @ third of the normal supply. Thi lone would be likely to increase the cost of bottled goods.

On the other hand, the American Express Company, which forwards immense sums to foreign lands, has stopped its sale of foreign money orders, letters of credit and travellers’ checks, It was announced to-day, however, that enough money has been placed with its foreign branches to meet all orders and letters of credit that have been sold. Tho United States postal authoritics are doing everything in their power to aid the tourists from this country who may be marooned abroad and those foreign residents of the United States who have been forwarding money each week or month for the support of those in their old homes who may be dependent on them. To this end it hag been decided not to sof forelgn money orders for sums groat- er than $100, except in extraordinary cases. 5 The prime object of this decision is to prevent private bankers from tak- ing advantage of the present high rate of banker's exchange and the low tates fixed by the postal treaties and speculating at the expense of the United States Government.
