56 WAREHOUSES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. sequently the rates of storage are lower than those charged in the modern storing houses of the company. Almost all lines of business, particularly in foreign products of all classes, in order to facilitate transit trade without customs inter ference, are represented in the free harbor. Coffee is the chief arti cle stored in these warehouses. The inventory at the end of last year showed a stock of almost 1,500,000 bags in the stores of the com pany. Other articles stored in these warehouses are meats, lard, oil, fruits, grains and seeds, foodstuffs, lumber, sugar, metal and metal goods, wines and liquors, etc. Americans make considerable use of these warehouses. As the rates of storage are considerably lower than those for storage in American bonded warehouses, and as there is no interference on the part of the custom-house authorities and almost no formalities con nected with the entry of merchandise and the storing of the same, large quantities of American whisky, for instance, are permanently stored in the free harbor, such whisky being kept in store here until properly seasoned, when it is reshipped to the United States. Fur thermore, all the large American firms represented in this city, such as the largo packing companies, the more important harvesting and sewing machine companies, hardware manufactories, etc., constantly store goods in local bonded warehouses. All nationalities are treated exactly alike by the administrators of the warehouses. Almost all warehouses, both those located in the free harbor and those in the city, within the customs union, are situated along the waterways in the city and harbors, and goods may be removed from boat directly to warehouse and vice versa. The charges therefor vary between 25 and 75 cents per ton, according to the quantities transported.

Besides the several warehouses in the free harbor, there are also ß number of bonded stores and warehouses in the city proper. When Hamburg was annexed to the customs union in 1888 there were hun dreds of merchants and wholesale dealers who chiefly dealt in and exported to foreign countries foreign-made goods, and who owned of had long-running contracts for warehouses in the city within the ne# customs boundary. To avoid prejudicing their interests, or other wise compromising them, these people were permitted to continue to store in their private warehouses dutiable goods upon which the duty had not yet been collected, under the following conditions: Goods upon which the customs authorities have a claim can bo stored in private warehouses, with or without joint locking by the cus toms authorities and the owner. These private warehouses aro classed as: (a) Transit warehouses, where the identity of each separ ate package is kept track of, and some of the goods stored are intended for consumption within the customs district, and at the same tim e some are intended, partly or wholly, for consumption in foreign countries, (b) Division warehouses, when the identity of each separ ate package is not kept track of, and no distinction is made betweei'
