JAPAN: FORMOSA. 181 and Bonded Warehouses, Nagasaki,” herewith transmitted. 0 For scale of charges for storage, I refer to pages 14 to 34, inclusive, in the same inclosure. The receipts from service for the four years last past were as follows: Receipts from customs warehouses. Bonded ware house. Tempo rary ware house. Total. S;8 1,171 850 $2,718 6,109 1,822 2,078 4,522 12,727 $3,753 7,575 2,993 2,928 17,249 Year. 1900. 1901. 1902. 1903- Total. I am unable to report the cost of operating the warehouses, as such expenses, I am informed, are included in the current expenses of the customs service. The classes of goods chiefly stored in the bonded warehouses are flour, comestibles, spirituous liquors, shirtings, iron nails, rod steel, etc., and in the temporary warehouses rice, Italian millet, nails, rod steel, sheet and plate iron, galvanized iron, spirit uous liquors, marine products, etc. I am informed that the average length of time goods remain in bonded warehouses is five months, and in temporary warehouses two months. I am unable to state to what extent Americans make use of the warehouses without a minute inspection of the custom-house records, but it is a fact that they patronize them quite freely. All nationalities are treated exactly alike. No complaints of dis crimination on account of nationality have come to my notice, and I believe there has been none. Transfer of cargo between ship and landing is by lighter, the shift ing of heavy and bulky cargo from lighter to landing is by crane, and goods are conveyed from the landing to the warehouses by coolies, or in carts or jinrikishas pulled by coolies. For cost of landing and shipping I refer to the detailed statements herewith inclosed.“ The warehouses under consideration are mostly in the customs yard and a short distance from the landing place. Every precaution pos sible is taken by the customs officials that cargo be handled carefully and with dispatch. Damages to packing in landing are minutely investigated, and those causing the damage are punished either by reprimand, fine, or discharge. No person is admitted to the customs warehouses or to the yards in which the warehouses are located unless accompanied by a customs official. Charles B. Harris, Consul. Nagasaki, Japan, September 15, 1,904- FORMOSA. (From United States Consul Fisher, Tamsui, Formosa.) In order that foreign goods arriving at any of the ports in this consular district may be transshipped to a foreign port without the a On file in tiie Bureau of Statistics, Department of Commerce and Labor.
