Facts Concerning the sponge Trade.

The first arrival of Mediterranean
sponges are now coming in. They are
shipped first to London; where they are
sorted, cleansed, and packed pSior to ex-
port. There are three kinds Of sponges,
of which "sheep-wools" are the best,
"velveteens" next, and "grass" the poor
est. st. Louis is large distributing
point for all kinds, and this seasons i'm
portation is exceptionally heavy. The
prices vary from as low as cents to as
many dollars, but most of the cheap
sponges come from the gulf of Mexico,
where the yield is very large, but the
quality generally coarser ST. Louis will
probably have $4,000 pounds weight
from Florida alone this year.
The Mediterranean varieties have the
biggest sale in this country, but while
we import these from London we ship
any quantity of Florida sponges to that
city. English people don't know it, but
as matter Of fact most of the "Mediter-
ranean" sponges sold in England come
FROM the gulf of Mexico and hence the
apparent anomaly of sponges being a
great deal cheaper there than here. AT
current retail prices there it wouldn't
pay to sell Mediterranean sponges at all.
