FRANCE: HAVRE. 29 accordance with the law of August 10, 1888. Besides these certain private warehouses are occasionally allowed to receive goods in bond, for this they must have openings with wire works and lie managed as directed by the custom-house authorities. The service is exclusively attended to by the administration of the warehouses, who receive and deliver the goods at the store’s gates. The charge for storage varies considerably, but in general it may be f-’iiid that for ordinary goods the rate runs about 1 franc ($0,193) per 1,000 kilos (2,204.6 pounds) per month. For handling cargoes on entry or removal charges are based on the size and weight of packages, hor large packages the rate is about 1 franc per metric ton; smaller packages pay a higher rate. The classes of goods chiefly stored in the Entrepôt Réel are heavy mineral oil; coffee, imported sugar, ship’s stores and provisions, pro hibited goods (tobacco, etc.), and agricultural machinery. Mineral oil, oranges, and figs are often placed in private warehouses (entrepôts fictifs). Americans make use of these warehouses principally for agricultural machinery and grease. All nationalities are treated exactly alike by the administrators of the warehouses. The maxi mum time during which the goods can remain in storage without pay- ln g duty is two years; commonly they do not remain more than six months. Goods are taken from the import vessel and carted direct to the Warehouses and stores under the escort of a customs officer. The cost yf cartage is 75 centimes (14.5 cents) per ton. The cost of discharg ing varies according to the nature of the cargo. Continual supervision is exercised by customs officials over the Entrepôt Réel, in which are lodged a contrôleur des douanes and a stores guard. As stated, the " entrepôt fictif ” must be specially man- a gcd, and the customs officers have keys of these stores. Benj. Morel, United States Consular Agent. Dunkirk, France r July JO, lOOJf.
