GUATEMALA: GUATEMALA CITY. 157 pounds) per month. Heavy goods, such as iron, hardware, ma chinery, etc., if over half a ton, pay storage after one month of 0.20 colon ($0.093 United States currency) per 100 kilograms per month. Explosives, after forty-eight hours, pay 0.10 colon ($0.0405 United States currency) per kilogram per day. Goods not subject to duty pay, after eight days, 0.10 colon per 40 kilograms per day. Goods may be reshipped at any time within four months, a shipping charge of i.20 colons ($0.558 United States currency) being collected on each 100 kilograms. The expense of handling these stored goods is not given separately, but is included in the general expense of maintaining the custom house. During the financial year closed March 31 last there was col lected for storage at Puntarenas 677.62 colons ($315.09 United States currency), and for reshipment only 466.59 colons ($216.96 United States currency). All nationalities are treated alike in regard to the storing and re shipping of goods, and I am not aware of any complaint in regard to the service. John C. Caldwell, Consul. San José, Costa Pica, August 15,190i GUATEMALA/ GUATEMALA CITY. (From United States Vice and Deputy Consul-General Owen, Guatemala City, Guatemala.) There are no warehouses for the storage of merchandise in transit or in bond at any of the ports of this country. Goods may, however, be stored in custom-houses for transshipment.

Launches, for the most part large open boats, are used to disembark from ship to pier. Cost of unloading and pierage at Pacific ports is about an equivalent to 20 cents gold per 100 pounds. On the Atlantic coast charges are
