Scotland: leith. 119 lernain in bond varies considerably, but the average time is estimated to be from two or three years. Americans make little or no use of the warehouses. A lot of dutiable goods are, of course, received from America, but these are imported by local brokers and merchants who attend to the storage. All nationalities are treated exactly alike by the administrators of the Warehouses. The warehouses in Glasgow are in close proximity to the harbor a iid convenient to the various railway stations. Goods are carted to a nd from the warehouses commonly by the carting contractors in the city. The cost depends on the class, bulk, and weight of the goods carried. Every warehouse must be provided with suitable accommodation for customs and excise officers. Every warehouse of any importance has a small office set apart specially for the use of one of these officers, whose duty is confined to the supervision of the warehouse. The outer doors of a warehouse are secured by two locks or sets of locks, one of which is controlled by the owners of the warehouse and the other by fhe Government officers. The doors are locked by each of the parties a t the same time, and the warehouse can not be entered unless both Parties are present. It is illegal for the owner of the goods or the Warehouse to open or gain access to a warehouse except in the pres ence of an officer or to abstract goods from any warehouse. The Sa me principle applies to warehouses too small to warrant the con stant attendance of an officer, and when the owner desires to have goods admitted or withdrawn he gives notice to the custom house, so tliat an officer may be in attendance. It is the duty of the officers to Record the condition of the goods on receipt and delivery. They are a Eo required to examine the goods from time to time by testing, sampling, and otherwise, in order to ascertain their condition. Any operation such as vatting, racking, and the like, must be done in their presence and under their supervision. These officers are sala ried by the Government, no charge being made to the owners of the Warehouses or others for their attendance. Samuel M. Taylor, Consul. Glasgow, Scotland, July 8, 1904. LEITH.
