NEW ZEALAND! AUCKLAND. 203 drapery. Goods are allowed to remain in the public warehouses for a period of three years, when they must be rewarehoused or sold. Rent is demanded every nine months, and if not paid then the goods may be sold by the collector. The time taken by the importers to clear their goods from the warehouse varies, so that it is almost impossible to say—as a rule the period is short owing to the charges. To a small extent Americans make use of these warehouses, chiefly for the storage of tobacco. No distinctions are made on the grounds of nationality. Goods are carted by the various importers from the wharf to the ware houses, which are in close proximity to each other. As there are many licensed carters on the wharves no difficulty is experienced in getting the goods moved, and the cost does not exceed 48 cents per ton—except, of course, in the case of heavy machinery. This will apply both to bonding and obtaining delivery. Goods for bond removed from the wharf must be carried in licensed carts. The carter before removing any such goods obtains a form from the water-side customs officer giving the particulars of the goods removed, and it is his duty to obtain a receipt from the warehouse keeper that the goods are duly received. This receipt is then returned to the water-side officer. When the goods are received in bond they are properly marked by the customs officials, stacked, and recorded in the warehouse keeper's registers. When the goods are delivered from the warehouse, it is only by the production of an entry passed at the custom-house, signed by the collector, setting forth the description of the goods and clearly show ing that full duties are paid. It is then the duty of the warehouse keeper to give an order for the delivery of the goods, which are checked by him for removal; and further all warehouse books and accounts, together with stocks remaining in bond, are periodically checked by the department of the auditor-general Certificates are issued by the collector on transfer of goods in bond, entitling the person presenting the same to the warehouse keeper to be recorded as owner, and to receive the goods specified in the certificate on the same terms on which the person who originally lodged the goods in the warehouse would have been entitled to receive them. A. G. Webster, Consul. Hobart, Tasmania, August 12, 1904. NEW ZEALAND. AUCKLAND. (From United States Consul-General Dillingham, Auckland, New Zealand.) The average bonded warehouse here is generally a two-storied building. There are two public bonds, “ Grahame’s " and " Firth’s.” The former was built in 1841 and the latter about twenty years ago ; they cost $13,000 each. In Wellington, the capital, in the south of North Island, the King’s warehouse is conducted by the govern ment, and one or two other bonds are conducted by different mer-
