QUEBEC: THREE RIVERS. 137 house, for which it pays a license of $20 per annum to the custom house. Sugar and molasses are the goods chiefly stored, and can remain in bond for one year. The bonded warehouses cost from $500 to $000 each, and are about 25 feet long and 18 feet wide. There are six such warehouses in this district. Almas F. Dickson, Consul. Gaseé, Quebec, June 15,1901¡.. QUEBEC. (From United Stales Consul Henry, Quebec, Quebec.) There are two public bonded warehouses in this city, one owned by D. Rattray & Sons, which cost about $10,000, and one conducted by the harbor commissioners that cost about $5,000. I can not obtain the dimensions of either, but they are large enough to accommodate all who send goods here in bond. There are several private bonded ware houses run by firms for their own use. The storage charges on goods bonded is about 14 cents per square foot per month. Further charges are made for customs entries, cart ing, and shipping. All alcoholic preparations in barrels and bottles, crockery, furs, teas, sugar, jewelry, hardware, and other manufac tured goods are stored here. Goods remain in bond as a rule from one to six months. Americans make very little use of these warehouses, though all nationalities are treated alike by the administrators. As there are railway connections on one side and steamboat docks on the other, the cost of transporting goods from boats to warehouses is very light. The customs officials exercise supervision over the warehouses and control the keys. Wm. W. Henry, Consul. Quebec, Quebec, June 9,1904. THREE RIVERS. (From United States Vice-Consul Braman, Three Rivers, Quebec.) There are no warehouses at this port owned by the government in which merchandise can be stored in bond. The only articles held in bond here are liquors, and they are put in rooms owned by private parties and sealed by a government inspector. There is a well-built storage shed at this port owned by the harbor commissioners (size 220 by GO by 15 feet, cost, $7,000) which is used to store wood pulp that is shipped from this port to Europe. The cost of storage in this shed is 10 cents' per ton. As this shed is only about 200 feet from the wharf the shipping can be done at a small cost. There is a narrow- gauge track that runs from shed to side of ocean steamer. This storehouse is not used at all by Americans, though all nationalities Would be treated alike by the administrators. Goods in transit could he stored in this shed. This is the only port in this dictrict where an °cean steamer can load at a wharf. W. W. Braman, Vice-Consul. Three Rivers, Quebec, July 11,190If.
