186 WAREHOUSES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES Stor-age charges in Trebizond warehouses. Weight of package (in kilos—2.2046 pounds each). Rates per day. First week. Second week. Third week. 1 to 113 114 to 226 227 to 339 340 to 452 453 to 565 565 and more Cents. 2 4 6 8 10 12 Cents. 3 6 9 12 15 18 The expense of storing goods and removing them from warehouses is borne by the merchant to whom they are consigned. The classes of goods stored include tea, coffee, sugar, flour, and hardware. Goods can not remain in warehouses longer than one year. No American merchant, so far as 1 am aware, makes use of these ware houses, but all nationalities are treated alike by the administration. Goods are removed from the boats by the use of derrick cranes and thence carried to the warehouses on the backs of laborers. The cost is 6 cents for each package. The warehouses are taken care of by a special watchman, who is in the employ of the customs officials and whose duty it is to protect the goods. There are no facilities for fighting fire; goods can, how ever, be insured in several insurance companies who have local representatives. Edward J. Sullivan, Consul. Trebizond, Turkey, July 7,1904.
