Spain: Barcelona. 95 ODESSA. (From United States Consul Hcenan, Odessa, Russia.) The only warehouses here are the customs stores at the port and elsewhere in the town in which goods arriving from abroad are placed or stored for examination on which to base the amount of customs duties to be paid. Goods may remain in these stores as long as the storage charges are paid. Goods in transit from Odessa to some point in the interior, such as cotton or tea, are simply loaded into cars on the quay by the customs authorities and forwarded to their destina tion. When the destination is Kiev, Moscow, etc., the duties are paid at these large centers, otherwise at Odessa. There are no private bonded warehouses at this port, but the customs regulations here permit the storage of such articles as tea in the private storehouse of the importer, said storehouse being in charge of customs officials. Tea is imported largely at Odessa from China, Japan, and India, and it is tested and mixed here to suit the Russian taste. . Tea is also ex ported from this port to the United States, and the trade is growing. The large addition to the population of New York and elsewhere from Russia accounts for this new trade. Tea which remains in the •storehouse above mentioned is not required to pay duty until such time as it is removed. Tea exported from these stores is not required to pay duty. Thos. E. Heenan, Consul. Odessa, Russia, June 29,190J. SPAIN. BARCELONA. V (From United States Vice-Cunsul-Ocncral Rider, Barcelona, Spain.) The port of Barcelona is now provided with a number of small Warehouses where goods can be stored on payment of a monthly rent, f he only large warehouses, however, are those known by the names \Crédito y Docks de Barcelona,” “Almacenes Generales de Comer cio," and “ Vda. de A. Nelma.” The two former have refused to furnish me with any information whatever, in spite of repeated re quests, and I am therefore compelled to confine my report to the ‘ Vda. de A. Xelma ” warehouses. These cover an area of about 05,000 square feet, and the cost of the site and building was 250,000 pesetas ($35,714). They are owned by the widow of A. Xelma, and urc under the management of José M. Serra. These warehouses are extensively used by merchants who have no stores of their own or whose warehouses are too small. The following is the scale of charges per 100 kilos (220.46 pounds) : f or entering and storing, 5 centavos (0.7 cent) ; rent and fire insur ance for one month, 6 centavos (0.85 cent) ; clearing goods from ware house, 5 centavos; weighing, 5 centavos; measuring, when required, ] u sacks of 70 liters (7.9457 pecks), costs 5 centavos (0.7 cent) per cuartera, a dry measure containing about 15 pecks.
