176 WAREHOUSES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. tion concerning its management can not be procured without incur ring expense. E. C. Bellows, G'onsul-General. Yokohama, Japan, July 28,190^. KOBE. (From United States Vice-Consul Sharp, Kobe, Japan.) The warehouses at this port have a total area of 0,411 square yards, and are in 21 structures. Information regarding the original cost of the structures can not be obtained. They are all of brick, with wooden floorings, except those owned and conducted by the Govern ment, which are floored with cement. The warehouses are owned and conducted as follow BONDEI) WAREHOUSES. (a) Owned and conducted by the Government—one structure, covering 284 square yards. (ft) Owned and conducted by the Kobe Pier Company—three structures, covering 1,379 square yards. (c) Owned and conducted by the Tokyo Warehouse Company—eight struct ures, covering 1,947 square yards. ((I) Owned and conducted by the Mitsui Bussan Kaisha—two structures, covering 316 square yards. CUSTOMS WAREHOUSES (NOT BONDED). (a) For imports—two structures, covering 636 square yards. (ft) For exports—five structures, covering 1,849 square yards. The dimensions and number of warehouses in use may be increased or diminished after obtaining the sanction of the minister of finance. When merchandise in transit or in bond is brought to a port, the steamship agent, acting in behalf of the consignor or consignee, as the case may be, generally appoints a stevedore, who, instructed by the steamship agent, performs all the necessary duties and exercises care over the merchandise in question, until it has been either cleared at the customs, stored in the bonded warehouse, or trans shipped. When it is necessary to have the merchandise stored in the bonded warehouse, a general routine at the customs is gone through by the stevedore, the warehouse having no particular service to render but to receive at the door and store the merchandise, and to issue the warrant therefor. In instances of transshipment the stevedore often obtains special permission from the customs to hold the merchandise without having it taken to the customs warehouse, or without storing in the bonded warehouse, when the date of sailing of the connecting vessel for transshipment is definitely known, even though it be for several days longer than the seventy-two hours from the time of the first landing which is the limit of free reserve fixed by the Government. For scales of charges for storage, I refer to the following in- closures : a Customs table of charges; tariff of storage charges of a On file in the Bureau of Statistics, Department of Commerce and Labor, where they may be consulted by persons interested.
