ENGLAND: SOUTHAMPTON. 115 goods which have previously arrived in Nottingham by the Midland Hailway charged at carted rates. Charges for cooperage, repairs, sampling, etc., will be made in addition to those above mentioned, according to the cost incurred. For other articles than wine and spirits no tariff is published, the storage thereof being so rare that charges are made to apply to each particular case. A statement of receipts and expenditures is not procurable. No Americans use this warehouse, but all nationalities are treated alike. Goods remain in bond sometimes for months, sometimes for .Years. An excise officer has a lock and key to the warehouse, so that he can inspect it at his pleasure. Nottingham, England, July #0,190J. Frank W. Maiiin, C\ PLYMOUTH.

Americans seldom make use of these buildings. , The facilities for the removal of goods from ship to bonded ware house are abundant.

The care and supervision exercised over the warehouses by the cus toms officials is very strict. Double locks are placed on all doors and n o owner nor any person whatsoever is allowed to enter without the company of a customs officer. Jos. G. Stephens, Consul.
