64 WAREHOUSES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. MAINZ. (From United States Consul Schumann, Mainz, Germ any.) The bonded warehouses of this city, including a large warehouse for general storage, a grain elevator, a warehouse for the storage of petroleum, turpentine, benzine, etc., a warehouse for the storage of spirits, an inspection hall, and sundry small warehouses, are substan tially built brick structures of pleasing architectural lines, which were erected by the municipality of Mainz in the year 1887 at a total original cost of $363,639, exclusive of the cost of the ground. The total storage areas of the principal buildings are as follows: Main warehouse in the customs harbor, 129,150 square feet; grain elevator in the customs harbor, 58,609 square feet, with a capacity of 6,710 tons; cellar of the grain elevator, which is used for the storage of oil, lard, and wine, 7,761 square feet; inspection hall, 19,726 square feet; warehouse for petroleum, turpentine, benzine, etc., 7,213 square feet; warehouse for spirits, 8,815 square feet. Hydraulic cranes on rails unload the vessels directly at the doors of the warehouses.

The goods chiefly stored in the bonded warehouses of this city are grains, spices, lumber, coffee, cocoa, cork stoppers, petroleum, rice, tobacco, tea, lard, lubricating oil, spirits, wine, and sugar. American goods stored in the bonded warehouses of this city are chiefly grains, lumber, petroleum, lard, lubricating oil, and tobacco. All nationalities are treated exactly alike by the administrators of the warehouses.
