Germany: breslau. 61 The entire free harbor is under control of the custom-house—that is to say, no merchandise is allowed to pass the gates.of this district without paying the duty or being put in bond for exportation to other countries. Each consignee of goods is bound to make a declaration of entry and each shipper of goods has to make a declaration of export to the custom-house, giving the number of packages, marks and num bers, contents, gross and net weights, and place of origin or destina tion of the merchandise referred to. These declarations are made under oath and are wanted chiefly for statistical purposes. WAREHOUSE RECEIPTS. In conclusion it may be stated that the warehouse receipts issued by the Bremer Lagerhaus Gesellschaft are negotiable under the laws of this State if they are accompanied by warrants. Henry W. Diederich, Consul. Bremen, Germany, July 190b BRESLAU. (From United States Consul Man, Breslau, Germany.) There are two public warehouses in this city—one owned by a com mercial association, but controlled and operated by the Government, while the other is owned and conducted by the city authorities. The Government warehouse is owned by an association of mer chants, and while certain details of the business are managed by them, Jbe main conduct of the whole is in the hands of the Government. I he buildings cover an area of 3,000 square meters (3,588 square yards) and are three stories high. It is impossible to obtain even an approximate estimate as to the original cost of these warehouses, the buildings having been erected So long ago. Charges for storage vary greatly, ranging from 3 to 18 pfennigs (0.7 to 4.3 cents) per month for 100 kilograms (220.46 pounds). The Government warehouse is used chiefly for the storage of gen eral merchandise, and the city warehouse, in addition to general mer chandise, also receives agricultural products, the products of the mines, and all raw material. Estimates as to the length of time Roods as a rule remain in bond are not sufficiently satisfactory to fluote. There is, however, a time limit of five years from the date of receipt. No different treatment on account of nationality is accorded those applying for storage room in these warehouses, but so far as I can ascertain no use has as yet been made by Americans of the Bres lau warehouses. The facilities for removing goods from boat to the city warehouse are excellent, owing to the finely built docks and electric cranes. The general charges for removing goods from boat to warehouse and vice versa are as follows per 100 kilograms (220.46 pounds): General merchandise, 7 pfennigs (1.666 cents) ; refined sugar (in loaf form), fO pfennigs (2.380 cents); raw sugar (in bags). 4 pfennigs (0.952 cents) ; artificial fertilizers, 7 pfennigs (1.666 cents) ; cement, 5 Pfennigs (1.190 cents).
