WAREHOUSES  IN  FOREIGN  COUNTRIES.

The  treatment  of  sugars  was  once  a  very  great  interest  in  the
Deposito  Franco,  but  since  1807,  with  the  notable  development  of
the  Italian  sugar-manufacturing  industry,  few  foreign  sugars  arrive.
A  few  hundred  sacks  will  now  be  found  on  deposit  against  100.000
at  one  time.  There  are  some  rooms  in  the  buildings  which  can  be
used  as  private  offices,  so  that  the  depositors  can  carry  on  their  entire
business  there  if  they  so  desire.
