ENGLAND: LONDON. 101 Goods manifested and entered at the custom-house as being in tran sit are allowed to stay for one month without paying any storage. After this the rates are the same as given above, the first day’s storage being charged from the thirty-first instead of the ninth day. Every class of goods is stored. As a rule, goods remain in bond a very limited time, perhaps quite 90 per cent of the goods imported being cleared within the eight days allowed imports for local use and the thirty days for transit goods. It is quite impossible to state to what extent Americans make use of these warehouses, no statistics being obtainable, and there being no re lationship between the proportion of a country’ exports and the pecul iar circumstances which lead to goods being allowed to remain in Warehouse beyond the eight days’ grace. For instance, a large con signment of a cheap line of goods which will not support double cart age (to the importer’s store and again to the buyer) may be left for a few days at a nominal storage until the entire parcel is disposed of, Perhaps part for transshipment to the interior and the remainder locally. All nationalities are treated exactly alike in regard to ware housing. As regards facilities for and the cost of removing goods from boat to warehouse, the larger steamship companies bring their ships along side the wharf and discharge directly onto the quay. Other compa nies discharge in the harbor into lighters at their own expense and the lighters are then brought alongside the custom-house. Anyway, the importer’s charges commence only on the quay, for which dues vary from 2 piasters (8.8 cents) per ton on clay to 55|piasters ($2.44) per ton on silks, paintings, feathers, opium, typewriters, surgical and musical instruments, artificial flowers, gloves, essences, etc. On pack ages weighing from to 3 tons the quay dues are at double these rates. Eor packages weighing over 3 tons special arrangements have to be made with the quay company. The custom-house carries the goods Hito warehouse at its own expense. The warehouses being part and parcel of the custom-house, they are entirely under the care and supervision of the customs administration, which guards them with its own watchmen. Wm. S.mtth-Lyte, Vice and Deputy Consul-General. Constantinople, Turkey, September 12,1904. UNITED KINGDOM. ENGLAND. LONDON. (From United States Consul-General Evans, London, England.) I regret that in spite of inquiry among warehouse owners, dock pro prietors, and shipping companies, I have been unable to secure details °u the points enumerated. The persons interested either can not answer the questions put forth, will not take the trouble involved, or prefer to keep the information within their own knowledge. From
