96 WAREHOUSES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. The receipts vary considerably, and I have been unable to obtain even an approximate estimate. The expenditures, including taxes, gas, water, etc., amount to about 10,000 pesetas ($1,429) per annum. The goods chiefly stored are cereals and flour. It is difficult to state to what extent American firms or others make use of the ware houses, as nearly all foreign firms have their representatives in this city and the goods are stored in the name of the agent. No distinc tions whatever are made by the administrators of the warehouses between different nationalities. The only warehouses enjoying the privilege of storing goods in bond are those known as the “ Crédito y Docks de Barcelona.” The removal of goods from boat to warehouse or vice versa is effected in carts at a cost of 12 pesetas ($1.78) per 10,000 kilos (22,040 pounds), or roughly, 18 cents per ton. IT. Henderson Rider, Vice-Consul-General. Barcelona, Spain, November 9,1904-. SWEDEN AND NORWAY. CHRISTIANIA, NORWAY. (From United States Consul-General Bordewich, Christiania, Norway.) The Christiania bonded warehouse was completed in March, 1903. It is a solid stone structure, eight stories high, having a ground space of 1,080 square meters (1,292 square yards). Sufficient adjacent ground, with sheds and river front, is attached to the premises. The original cost of the building was $188,000; it is owned and conducted by a stock company with $400,000 capital. The Christiania free warehouse, as it is commonly termed, serves as a substitute for a free port, and it serves its purpose well. The custom-house officers have supervision over the management of the institution ; they determine rates of charges for rent of space and act as arbitrators between the public and the management. The warehouse company is compelled to furnish and maintain on the premises, for use of the custom-house officers, all necessary weights and measures, also to furnish and main tain suitable offices for their use in the building, to have telephones placed in such offices, and to reimburse the custom-house for all ex penditures caused by the establishment. Arriving uncleared merchandise is, on application, moved by the warehouse company under custom-house control from ship or depot to the warehouse. The merchandise is stored without payment of duty and may be withdrawn at any time, in whole or in part, and the duty paid on the day of removal to the custom-house officers located in the building. Domestic merchandise on which drawback is allowed, as well as domestic or customs cleared merchandise which may be wanted for admixtures with goods stored at the warehouse may, with certain restrictions, also be admitted, but all combustibles, explosives, and other objectionable goods are excluded. Goods in transit may also be stored at the warehouse. No stored goods can be
