52 WAREHOUSES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. manuscript code issued by the customs authorities to chiefs of divi sions. A complete copy of the same has been obtained and is inclosed with this report..“ Frank H. Mason. Consul-General. Berlin, Germany, July 23, lOOJj.. DRESDEN. (From United States Consul-General Cole, Dresden, Germany.) The system of storage prevailing in the United States is almost unknown here and instances where money is lent by banks on ware house certificates are exceedingly rare. There are two bonded warehouses in Dresden, both owned and con trolled by the Saxon government, but the officers in charge positively refuse to give me any information regarding the dimensions, traffic, capacity, or charges, and the houses are so little used that reliable information can not be gained from patrons or outsiders. From latest printed reports I learn that these warehouses received 11,072 tons and delivered 11,579 tons during the year 1902, and I have no reason to believe that the traffic has materially increased since. The goods stored consisted mainly of petroleum, tobacco, coffee, grain, sugar, wine, and some cigarette paper. This merchan dise is brought by barges on the River Elbe from Hamburg or Bohemia, arid is usually under customs seal when received; if not, each package is sealed before being placed in warehouse. The printed report for 1902 shows that the receipts and deliveries were about equal, indicating that property was not stored long. The warehouses are not used by Americans, and except grain and petro leum no American products are stored. While the officers in charge declined to give other information, they assured me that the same terms are accorded all patrons, regardless of nationality. As the bonded warehouses are owned and controlled by the Saxon government, they are in charge of customs officials or sworn officers of the kingdom. The meager use made of the two bonded ware houses in this city, and the fact that Dresden is situated so far inland, lead me to believe that any further report from this post would not be valuable. Chas. L. Cole, Consul-General. Dresden, Germany, July 1, 1904. FRANKFORT. (From United States Consul-General Guenther, Frankfort, Germany.) On receipt of the Department’s circular I addressed the Royal Prus sian custom-house authorities of Frankfort-on-the-Main with refer ence to the questions contained therein, and received the following information : The dimensions and original cost of the warehouses, approxi- a On file in the Bureau of Statistics, Department of Commerce and Labor.
