70 WAREHOUSES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. The cost of removal of goods from boat to warehouse depends entirely upon the kind of goods and upon the locality. As an average it might be said that it costs 12 francs ($2,316) per ton. The care and custody of the warehouses is exercised exclusively and rigorously by the custom-house authorities. The customs depart ment has a uniformed corps of guards with regular military training and under the command of officers. Their duties consist in guarding the approaches of every custom-house precinct and the entrances of the cities as well as the frontier, to prevent smuggling in the entrance and exit of dutiable goods. Hector de Castro, Consul-General. Rome, Italy, July 8,190If. CASTELLAMARE DI STABIA. (From United States Commercial Agent Crowninshicld, Castellamarc dl Stabia, Italy.) In this district warehouses for storage of merchandise in transit or in bond exist only in the Torre dell’ Annunziata. The dimensions are 390 by 330 feet and the cost was $120,000. The warehouses are owned and conducted by a company, which will discharge goods into their bonded warehouses, pay freight and all other expenses, and in some cases advance cash on deposits. It also takes charge of loading goods on board ship. The charges for storage are 10 cents per ton per month. Wheat is the chief commodity stored. Americans make no use of the warehouses; but all nationalities are treated alike by the administration. Goods are removed from lighters into ware houses by hydraulic cranes at a cost of 50 cents per ton, and are loaded into lighters from warehouses by the same method and at the same price. They remain in bond usually about two months. Cus toms officials have full supervision over all bonded goods. C. S. Crowninsiiield, Commercial Agent. CASTELLAMARE DI Sl’AMA, ITALY, July 27, 1901+. CATANIA. (From United States Consul Heingartner, Catania, Italy.) There are no bonded warehouses in this consular district. The ¡ regulations of the custom-house, however, are very favorable for (he storage of goods and withdrawal for shipment elsewhere without pay ment of customs dues. Nonperishable merchandise can be reshipped without payment of customs duties within the period of two years. The storage of perishable goods is limited to three months. The charge for storage is 0.01 lira (one-fifth of a cent) per day per 100 kilos (220.4 pounds). The storage of lubricating oils for sale to steamers is about the extent that the storage privilege is used I by Americans at this port. The custom-house being situated in the harbor, the cost of removal j of goods for reshipment is nominal. Alexander Heingartner, Consul. Catania, Italy, July 11+, 190.!+.
