VANCOUVER. 
(From United States Consul Dudley, Vancouver, British Columbia.) 
It is not easy to secure particulars about warehouses in this consular 
district. There seem, however, to be sufficient accommodations for 
all the trade of this port. The Canadian Pacific Railroad Company 
and Messrs. Evans, Coleman & Evans of this city have general ware 
houses for storage here. The following is an extract of a letter 
received by me from the general freight agent of the railway com 
pany, which has the largest warehouses here : 
This company has no storage warehouses proper, but we have five transfer 
warehouses, each measuring 250 feet by 00 feet ; through these sheds are trans 
ferred all the steamboat freight handled in connection with our rail and steam 
ship line. Our route is much used by Americans and we handle large quanti 
ties of freight to and from the States. Under our contract with the United 
States Government for carrying interstate freight, we are not allowed to store 
it for any length of time in our warehouse; all interstate freight in transit 
must be forwarded from Vancouver as soon as means of transportation are 
available. All shippers are treated exactly alike.
