\V' 0 0 1. WOOL. MILLWALL DOCK COMPANY’S WOOL WAREHOUSES, (GOUSEixS, MERRY & Co., Lessees.) The attention of Growers and Shippers of Wool is oalled to the advantages offered by these Wareouses for the Storage of their produce. They are as 1. The Warehouses have been specially constructed for Showing Wool, and are lighted from the roof with north light, giving an even light throughout, so essential to the buyers in their valuations. They are capable of showing 3,000 to 4 000 Lales on one Floor, or 10,000 Bales per diem, and can be extended, if necessary to take in the whole of the Wool coining into London. 2. The situation of these Warehouses being alongside the quay, where the woo! ships discharge, cartage to the City Warehouses (in many Instances a distance of six miles), and the consequent danger from pilfering, exposure, and damage to which the bales are thus subjected is avoided J 3 Deliveries are conducted with a rapidity hitherto unexampled, as each Warehouse is surrounded with lines of rails in connection with the main lines, the Wools for the Manufacturing Districts are thus loaded direct into the railway trucks, and those for shipment to the Continent, into export vessels or into lighters from the quay. 4. Reduction in Expenses.—Wools for Home Consumption do not have to be collected and carted to the Railway Stations in London, and on those going abroad, the cartage and wharf charges winch are incurred from an Inland Warehouse, are avoided. .0. Concentration of the whole of the Wool for the day’s sale in one Warehouse, or in warehouses contiguous to one another (instead of being distributed over several warehouses in the City), whereby the greatest facility for comparison is afforded to the buyers, and, as a rule, better prices are in consequence realised. G. Reduction in storage rates.—Since the establishment of these warehouses, storage rates have been reduced 25 per cent., and with increased support a still further reduction could be made. from Fenchurch Street riui every quarter ,of an tar, and the journey occupies 25 minutes, special Refreshment Rooms and Lavatories are profiled. 1 •Wooi.
