PERU. 167 dispatched from the custom-house within one year; after that the Government has the right to sell them to cover duties. Perishable f oods must be dispatched within thirty days from time of entry. nflammable goods are stored in an iron warehouse belonging to the Government, outside of the city. General merchandise in the custom-house pays 1 cent gold per cubic foot per month or fraction of a month. Lead, iron, and other metals pay 2| cents gold per 50 kilos (110.2 pounds) per month or fraction thereof. Goods from all countries are treated exactly alike and can be reshipped out of the country in bond. Herman R. Dietrich, Consul-General. Guayaquil, Ecuador, July 7,1904. PARAGUAY.

For facilitating the removal of goods from boat to warehouse and vice versa there are winches and wharves, but when goods are in transit they are usually transshipped out in the river from one boat to another. All such operations are performed under the supervi sion of customs officials. John N. Ruffin, Consul. Asuncion, Paraguay, July 26, 190b. PERU. (From, United States Consul Gottschalk, Callao, Peru.) There are no bonded warehouses in Peru exclusively devoted to the storage of goods in transit or for reshipment.
