Scotland: dunfermline. 117 DUNFERMLINE. (From United States Consul McCunn, Dunfermline, Scotland.) There is but one warehouse in Dunfermline for the storage of mer chandise in transit or in bond, from which goods may be withdrawn for shipment elsewhere without paying the customs dues. It is termed a general duty-free warehouse and is owned by private traders who conduct it jointly with the excise officers appointed by the Gov ernment. It is a substantially built stone structure of 120 by 40 feet, and cost £2,100 ($10,220). Patrons have access at any time for inspection of goods and have privileges of blending, racking, exporting, and importing. The ware house owners do all the manual work under supervision of the excise. The excise officers see that all goods are according to transfer and dispatch notes. The warehouseman represents the trader and provides guarantees to cover all transactions in bond. The charges are as follows: The charge for racking is 12 cents for each cask marked “Racked;” for blending, 1 cent per imperial bulk gallon (labor by trader) ; for storing in vat, per day, 36 cents ; sampling and dipping are free on Arrival ; at other times 6 cents, besides other charges. Clerk’s fees il re charged according to time and (rouble. A discount from rent of per cent is allowed on goods over twelve months in bond. Special terms are made for traders’ accounts amounting to £10 ($48.67) per ar Rnim. The classes of goods stored are wines and spirits only. Up to date there have been no transactions with Americans.
