ENGLAND: NEWC A8TLE-ÍIN-TYNE. 113 goods—i. e., goods that are allowed to enter this country without the payment of customs duties. A small portion of the block situated °n the north side of No. .8 dock is certified for the storage of dutiable traffic under bond. Rates for storage at the Manchester docks on the principal commodities imported from North America are shown on the list inclosed. 0 Charges, including one month’s storage, vary from 36 cents to $1.22 per ton. Rent is from to 12 cents per ton per Week. Figures of receipts and expenditures on account of service can not he ascertained. All sorts of goods are stored—tobacco, glucose, sugar, tea, rum, wines and spirits, etc. A large portion of the import trade to Man chester consists of traffic from America, and in specifying the princi pal American dutiable articles imported I would include tobacco in berces, glucose, and grape sugar. All nationalities are treated ex actly alike as regards storage and charges. . With the exception of tobacco dealers, I find it is the rule for ^porters to pay duty on dutiable goods at time of import. This is u °t done, however, with tobacco, which is imported in the closing months of the year and remains in store for perhaps twelve months. Goods are removed by steam crane from steamer to the store by Fail alongside the docks, and also by wagons ; merchandise is reshipped 111 the same manner. Wm. Harrison Bradley, Consul. Manchester, England, September 13,1901^. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE. (From United States Vico and Deputy Consul Eixon, Netccastle-on-Tyne, England.) Bonded warehouses in this city are owned and managed by pri- v ate firms. A merchant can either have a bonded warehouse of his °Wn, or he can take part in a general bond with other merchants who have goods stored. The dimensions and original cost of ware houses can not be given. Some warehouses are owned by capitalists mid leased to public warehousemen, and they are conducted under bie supervision of the customs officers. Both the merchants and the customs officers have separate keys, so that one can not enter without bie other. .The inclosed rate book 6 shows the various charges in connection ' Vl th goods in the Hartlepool ports, either warehoused by the North eastern Railway Company, which owns bonds, or passing over the h°ek quays and not using the warehouses in any way. No charges a J e made by the customs authorities, who provide their officers free °f charge. Fhe principal classes of goods stored are: Spirits—rum, brandy, Boueva, whisky, gin, other spirits not sweetened, British spirits not sweetened, foreign spirits not sweetened; wine; beer, foreign; beer 0 On file in the Bureau of Statistics.
