FRANCE! CALAIS. 27 houses are a source of income, and its accounts are balanced every year by a profit varying from 20.000 to 40.000 francs ($3,800 to $7,720). Its receipts vary from 000,000 to 1,000,000 francs ($173,700 to $193,000) a year, and its cash on hand is about 400.000 francs ($77,200). No Americans make use of the warehouses of Bordeaux. All nationalities are treated alike. The length of time goods remain in the warehouses depends entirely upon circumstances. Coffee, cocoa, and spirits usually remain longer than other goods on account of the high duty levied on them. They are usually left in the warehouse until sold. Other goods do not as a rule remain long in bond. The transportation of goods from boat to warehouse and vice versa is done on very reasonable terms. The average cost of cartage is 2 francs ($0,386) per ton of 1.000 kilograms (2,204.6 pounds). The customs officials have offices in each of the warehouses owned t*y the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce, where everything pertain ing to the customs is regulated. The premises are guarded day and night by custom-house men without any charge to the chamber of commerce. Of the warehouses belonging to private parties little need be said, as they are of small importance. They have to pay the customs officials for the time employed in the care and supervision of the bonded goods stored therein. A urn ON W. Tourgée, Consul. Bordeaux, France, July 25, 1904. CALAIS.
