20 WAREHOUSES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. only fifteen days, the time is generally without limit, varying from one to ten years, and sometimes longer. The administration is responsible for preserving the stored merchandise indefinitely. It can dispose of the merchandise only when the taxes due have not been paid quarterly. HANDLING OF GOODS. The public warehouses at Ghent are situated at the docks, easily accessible to vessels that come alongside, and also to the railroads. They are equipped for the unloading and storage of merchandise with three old-type hand winches, which are still used for packages of light weight, and three hydraulic winches. The hand winches are, without expense, at the disposition of the party depositing goods in the warehouse or taking them away. The rates for the use of the hydraulic winches are as follows: For lifting 1,100 pounds or hss, $0.05; for lifting 1,102 pounds to 1,650 pounds, $0.10; for lifting 1,652 pounds to 2,200 pounds, $0.15: for lifting 2,202 pounds to 3,500 ppunds, $0.20 ; with a maximum of $1.03 per wagon load. The merchandise is placed and stored as directed bv the warehouse keeper. That which is of the same kind, but subject to different duties, is, as much as the accommodations will permit, placed in dif ferent warehouses. The warehouse keeper has a book in which he enters the receipt and delivery of the merchandise, also any changes that occur in the condition of the merchandise during the time it is stored. On receipt of merchandise lie affixes labels indicating the depositor, the kind of merchandise, country of production, place of export, manner of im portation, name of vessel and its captain, and nat ionality of the vessel. These labels are never changed so long as the merchandise remains all or in part in the same warehouse and under the same name. The packing of merchandise may be changed, but goods which are subject to different duties may not be mixed up, and marks and numbers on the old labels must appear on the new ones ; employees must re port this change of labels and packing, and verify the gross and net weight of the new packages. The accounts and records are modi fied as the result of this report and the net weights serve as a basis for the final payment of dues. The packages must be opened and the merchandise unpacked to be sorted, classified, and examined. Frank li. Mowrer, Consul. Ghent, Belgium, August 8, 1904. DENMARK. COPENHAGEN.
