WAREHOUSES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. 
SERVICES. 
The rights and duties of the patrons are as follows: Orders must be 
given in writing or by telegraph and must be clearly stated. The 
sum for which the goods stored are to be insured against fire must be 
determined. The goods to be stored must be accompanied by properly 
executed documents (invoices, customdiouse and taxation papers) and 
the written order for storage. Patrons are given receipts for the 
stored goods, or else can have warrants made out thereon. If goods 
in storage are in danger of spoiling, or their value no longer suffices to 
cover the expense of storage incurred, notice for removal may be given 
at any time, and if the goods are not taken away before the expiration 
of the period fixed they are sold and the costs of storage defrayed from 
the proceeds. Persons proving their identity as owners of the goods, 
or as the authorized attorneys of such owners, have the right to inspect 
their wares and to take samples of them. Goods are delivered upon 
written order of the owner and upon payment of all warehouse, cus 
toms, and taxation fees that may be due thereon. 
Claims by the warehouse management against the storers of goods 
must be settled by the latter immediately upon demand. For its 
claims on the goods stored the warehouse holds the first lien, and this 
has the precedence over all other claims in case of bankruptcy also. 
Knowledge of business transactions of the warehouse management 
with its patrons is strictly kept from third persons. 
Services rendered by the warehouse to its patrons are as follows: 
Clearing of the wares arriving by railway or steamship and storing of 
the same. Possible advance of the freight dues when the goods to be 
stored or the person storing them offer sufficient guaranty. Placing
