FRANCE! MARSEILLE. 39 move and shift the goods, if this is necessary to a satisfactory inspec tion, without charge up to one-half of the whole number of parcels and upon agreed terms for the excess. If merchandise requires sorting, washing, folding, baling, or pack ing the owner may employ persons for these services, and is provided with space for carrying on the work. The dock company, in this case, transports the merchandise to the space selected, weighs it, and returns it finally to its place upon terms clearly specified, based upon the gen eral tari if for transporting the goods from ship to warehouse or vice versa. The area devoted to the manipulation of merchandise is not charged for during forty-eight hours; that is to say, the storage charge runs as though the goods were in the original storage chamber, or if the operations require more than forty-eight hours, a tariff per parcel and per day ranging from 1 to 3 cents, and, in the case of bulky merchan dise, of 4 cents per ton, is applied. The company guarantees delivery of goods intrusted to its care and insured under the special insurance tariff, and reinsures itself. The company is not responsible for damage and loss (1) to mer chandise which, not intended for storage, is not removed from the wharf and sheds during the day of its inspection by the customs authorities, or during the day when it is put into proper condition for storage if it belongs to a class not inspected by the customs authorities; (2) to merchandise leaving the warehouses and not removed from the courts or sheds during the day of its examination by the custom-house authorities or of its preparation for final re moval.

The tariff for thus lodging and lotting is equal to one- balf the tariff for putting goods into ordinary storage. Visits to merchandise are forbidden without authorization of the proprietors. If desired, the company supplies a receipt which is a negotiable commercial instrument. The ordinary receipt mentions the number and date of arrival of the goods, the name of the owner a nd of the ship upon which imported, the marks, numbers, class of packages, and nature of goods. Merchandise put into storage can not be withdrawn without deliv ery of a discharge detached from the receipt. Upon demand the company loads merchandise withdrawn for local consumption upon trucks for 5 cents per ton without regard to the nature of the goods. Upon demand the company undertakes to clear goods at the cus- join-house, and to perform every operation necessary in order to finally deliver the goods wherever the consignee may desire them.
