106 WAREHOUSES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. bonded system. In discussing with a local banker the system which he pursued in making advances upon wine or liquors in bond he told me of his plan of making certain always that his security was intact. el If my debtor’s stock,” he said, “ rested in the ordinary way among other people’s in the cellar it would be easy for him to obtain access to it without my knowledge. The custom-house can not be expected to take note of my lien on his goods. A dishonest man might leave me a row of empty barrels. It is my practice therefore to put a simple fence of wire netting about my debtor’s barrels, supplied with a wire door, of which I have the key. When I have done this, I rest secure that no undue evaporation will take place.” I should have been glad to send particulars of the control and man agement of the bonded warehouses for tobacco, from the point of view of both owners and users. These warehouses, however, are in a few strong hands, and the proprietors have courteously declined to extend any information whatever, nor have their customers— the great local manufacturers—proved more communicative. With these warehouses, as with the bonded cellars, the procedure of the custom-house officials, the oversight of the authorities, the technical details governing the incoming and the outgoing of the commodity, are similar in essentials to our own practice. IjORiN A. Lathrop, Consul. Bristol, England, September 24-, 1904. HULL. (From United States Consul Hamm, Hull, England.) The Northeastern Railway Company at its Hull docks has pro vided lock-up sheds for transit purposes. I send herewith a pam phlet“ issued by that company which shows the charges for use of these sheds and other information about the warehousing facilities of this port. Particulars of the dimensions and original cost of warehouses are not available. They are owned by the Northeastern Railway Com pany, which alone does the work in connection with goods brought to the warehouse. The services rendered by the company in connection with the ware housing are shown in the accompanying rate book, the charges being the same as on goods of the same description passing over the com pany’s quays and not using the transit sheds. The chief classes of goods stored are wines, tea, coffee, sugar, cocoa, tobacco, etc. Usually goods are left only a few days. All nation alities are treated alike by the administrators of the warehouses, but 1 am unable to state to what extent Americans make use of the sheds. The transit sheds are in the care and supervision of the customs offi cials. The goods are brought to and removed from the warehouse usually by the shipowner. Walter C. Hamm, Consul.
