Italy: genoa. 75 Articles stored in the stairways, corridors, and alleys will pay but three-fourths of the foregoing rates. A full month’s rental is charged, even though the goods should re- plain no longer than a day. At the expiration of a month the succeed ing charges are by periods of fifteen days. At the end of the year all goods in storage are held to pay the charges up to the end of December, even though they still continue on deposit. This is for the purpose of aiding the management in its statement of accounts, (foods can not be withdrawn from deposit till all storage charges have been paid. For articles not named in the present tariff the charges will be according to weight and quality, and charges on similar articles. The managing committee of the Deposito Franco will decide in case of controversy arising as to articles not previously contemplated and provided for. OTHER DETAILS. The statement of receipts and expenditures is not furnished. Much the same classes of goods are stored as in the Magazzini Generali. Americans do not use these warehouses very much, either directly or indirectly. The products of South America, on the other hand, are very largely represented.

The facilities for such transfer are excellent, and (he costs will not vary greatly from those given for the Magazzini Generali. The custody and movement of the goods deposited are entirely free from customs formalities. They must, however, be stored in such a Way as allow the customs officers to recognize easily their character «ml quality. THE DOCKS COMMERCIAL WAREHOUSES. BUILDINGS AND MANAGEMENT.
