NETHERLANDS: ROTTERDAM. 81 MONTENEGRO. (From United States Consul Chester, Budapest, Hungary.) The “Hungarian Commercial Museum” publishes a consular report to the effect that the Montenegrin minister of finance in Cetinje has caused government as well as private warehouses in the port of Anti vari to accept merchandise in bond or transit, and has relieved such merchandise from all payment of dues and customs pending notice on the customs collector of their intended withdrawal. Frank Dyer Chester, Consul-General. Budapest, Hungary, June 27,1904- NETHERLANDS. ROTTERDAM. (From United States Consul-General Listoe, Rotterdam, Netherlands.) For centuries past numerous warehouses have stood on the quays at Rotterdam, on the right side of the river Maas. These warehouses, however, are not directly accessible by steamers but only by trucks. In Rotterdam mercantile establishments of the seventeenth and eight eenth centuries, the warehouses are always found on the ground floor, behind the offices, while the merchants’ residence quarters are above the offices and warehouses. After the introduction of steam power, warehouses to fill other needs had to be constructed. At the present day a steamer remains in port as short a time as pos sible ; the cargo must therefore be discharged quickly. When the cargo is not destined for Rhine or Maas ports and therefore can not he immediately discharged into Rhine or Maas lighters, there must be sufficient room on the quay to deposit a whole cargo. In modern ports as a rule the storage places on the quays are covered so far as practicable, at least for merchandise that might suffer from rain, and this is the case along the quays of the left side of the Maas. No sheds are found along the quays of the right side of the river, though the steamers of numerous lines to England, France, and northern Ger many discharge their cargoes there; but the establishment of modern facilities for these lines is contemplated. At present these steamers discharge their cargoes on the quays in the open air, whence they are distributed to the warehouses situated in the vicinity. When it rains the merchandise is protected by canvas. CLASSES OF WAREHOUSES. The warehouses are designated, according to the amount of super vision exercised by the customs authorities, as follows: (1) The free entrepôt (public bonded warehouse) ; (2) the private free entrepots (private bonded warehouses) ; (3) the entrepots fictifs (fictitious warehouses) ; (4) the warehouses over which no cus toms supervision is exqrciscd. The free public warehouse is treated in detail on later pages. 18762—05 M ■ —6
