ITALY*. ROME. 69 rate from those of the custom-houses, but the receipts from such ware houses at Piraeus are estimated at nearly half of the income from the customs at that port. The classes of goods chiefly stored are groceries, dry goods, hats and caps, leather, cloth, tobacco, cotton, and nearly every kind of merchandise imported, except cereals, which are stored in private warehouses. Goods can remain in bond but two years. As a rule they remain not longer than four months. Americans seldom use the storage warehouses, a small quantity of machine oil having been the only commodity stored by them in Piraeus of late years. All nationalities are treated alike. All merchandise, with the exception of cereals, are unloaded by lighter directly from the vessels to the warehouses. The cost is about 10 drachmas (about $1.40) per ton. Cereals are unloaded at the dock, and cost 2 to 2.50 drachmas ($0.29 to $0.36) per 1,000 okas (2,821.85 pounds). Officers of the customs service are on guard at the warehouses day and night, and are supposed to see that the warehouses are kept clean and in repair. Daniel E. McGinley, Consul. Athens, Greece, October 7,190!>. ITALY. ROME. (From United States Consul-General De Castro, Rome, Italy.) The dimensions of the warehouses in Italy differ much according to the importance of the port of entry, and their costs can not be stated. They are part of the custom-house buildings and are under the control and management of the .custom-house authorities. Goods may be entered in transit or in bond. Duty need not be paid until the goods are withdrawn; while they are in a customs warehouse a tax of 1 centime (0.193 cent) per day and per parcel, box, or bag of 100 kilos (220.46 pounds) or less is charged. In custom-houses having no Warehouses a tax of 2 centimes (0.386 cent) per day and per 100 kilos or less is charged for custody. Any fraction of 100 kilos is calculated as 100 kilos. The revenue of the Borne warehouse is about 7,000 lire ($1,351) per year. No records are kept here of the revenue of other warehouses, as the receipts are turned into the treasury in bulk and not itemized. All sorts of goods not of a perishable nature, such as drugs, coffee, sugar, dry goods, and raw material, are stored. When goods arrive they may remain in the custom-house free of charge for a period of two weeks, which may be extended for another two weeks. All appli cations must be made on stamped paper, costing 12 cents. At the expiration of the term the goods are removed into the warehouse, and may lie there for twelve months. Warrants or receipts are delivered so as to enable the owner of the goods to dispose of a part of them or all. As fast as the goods are withdrawn the duty is collected. All nationalities are treated alike by the administration. There is Ro kind of discrimination exercised.
