72 WAREHOUSES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. Charges for storing specified commodities at the Magazzini Generali, Genoa, Italy. The principal classes of goods stored are cotton from the United States, India, and Egypt; agricultural machinery, manufactured goods, lumber, iron tubes, stores, and general merchandise from the United States; grain, seed, teak, and corn from the river Plate and India; wine from Spain and Greece; sulphate of copper, ammonia, and chemical products, machinery, pig iron, and fire bricks from Great Britain; wool from Algeria, Spain, and Australia; steel and iron from Germany. The length of time goods remain in bond varies, but two or three months is the average period. Directly, Americans use the warehouses very little, but indirectly very largely ; that is to say, large quantities of cotton and goods from the United States are warehoused here in the names of Italian agents. The concern offers exceptional facilities for the security of American shippers who desire to do business in Italy under a plan by which, instead of consigning goods to the agent and so losing all control over them, the shipper may consign the goods to this company, which re ceives them and delivers them to the agent as shippers may direct from time to time in whatever quantity desired. This secures the shipper against fraud and is a guaranty that the goods will remain under his own control until he releases them to receivers on this side. No distinctions are allowable under any consideration. There are electric traveling cranes with capacity up to .1,500 kilos (3,307 pounds), and steam cranes up to 5 tons capacity at the ware houses. The cost for labor, landing, or loading from or to vessels ; is on the average 50 centimes (9.7 cents) per ton, plus about 10 centimes (1.93 cents) for cranage. fished on the spot, with a full corps of examining officers and customs guards, who verify the ingress and egress of all goods to insure cor rectness of description, weight, and regularity of declaration accord ing to the customs laws.
