United States Consul Pickerill, St. Michaels, Azores.) . As this is not a regular transshipping port, we seldom have neces sity for warehouses for the storage of merchandise in transit or in bond. Occasionally, because of accidents or wrecks, it is necessary to store goods, and for that purpose the Government permits their being placed in properly sealed private warehouses, access to which is per mitted only when the owner or his agent is accompanied by a duly au thorized person. As the service is limited, there has been no necessity to erect special warehouses; the authorities, therefore, permit the use of any building that possesses sufficient strength and means for safe guarding its contents. The service is very unsatisfactory and expen sive to the patrons, nothing being permitted without due authority and the presence of the guard. Subject to the ordinary regulations, small On üle in the Bureau of Statistics, Department of Commerce and Labor.
