lance by giving his views of the matter,
which WAS that most of the items on the
bill were for work done previous to July
l, the time the patrol wagon went into
service. The items since that date might
be questioned, but perhaps there were
good reasons for them.
After further discussion Mr.. Ayars ex-
claimed: ut would take forty men to
keep up with these police. There might
be a call in the western part of the city
and one in the eastern part Of the city at
the same time. In such cases transfer
wagon must be obtained The patrol
wagon cannot haul all the drunks In the
city at the same time
After further discussion the motion to
refer the bill back to the Police Commit
tee was carried.

financial interest to Nassau as the sponge
fisheries. 1t is in fact the regular bust
ness of the place and is of such proper
tions that Sponge Exchange has been
established, and which isgoverned by the
rules of the New York Stock Exchange,
and sponging firm must be represented
in it if the vocation is to be prosecuted
on agood financial basis.
Sponge is all abundant article in Mas
sau-and cheap. They are seen lying
around the streets and obstruct the pas
sage-ways to the wharves apparently un-
cared for, but such as would bring from
fifty cents to dollar in any large North
ern city. Wherever sponges can be
utilized nplace of cotton or wooden goods
they are used. They serve for dish cloths
in the kitchen, and often the seat in a
boat is nothing but an immense sponge
as big as half barrel. Windows are in
variably washed with them and glasses
polished with the same material; indeed,
they are used for almost every conceiva--
BILE purpose It is the correct thing for
visitors in Nassau to buy them as pre-
sents to send home; a string of them over
six feet long costing zone and six" or
thirty-seven and half cents. A bushel
of them can be compressed so as to go
into cigar box.
THE MODE OF FISHING
differs somewhat from the west coast.
The sponge feet consists Of small schoon-
ers ranging from ten to forty tons. Each
schooner carries from four to six men,
sometimes eight and makes periodical
trips out to the sponge beds around
Abaco, Andres Island and Exhuma. The
men do not dive for them as do thespOnge
handled forks like oyster tongs, very diff
ent from the west coast fork, with which
to fish the sponges out of the water, which
is so clear that one can see almost every
inch of the bottom. The fishers make up
their mind which to take and then with
that deXterous, gentle but strong move
ment OF the arm and pole, practiced on
the Florida coast, lift it into the boat.
They are not the nice, delicate, light
colored things seen in shop windows.
When taken from the water as we find
them along the Atlantic coast, they look
and feel very much like q piece of raw
liver. They are slippery, Shiny, ugly and
have very unpleasant odor.
THEIR COLOR
is usually a sort of brown, much like that
of the sea weed though little darker,
while in the Gulf of Mexico they are black.
The animal tissue disappears long be-
fore the sponge reaches a market, and
the portion of it we see is only the house
the many-roomed residence in which it
sheltered itself.
The sponges after reaching the deck of
the vessel go through a cleaning and dry
ing process much the same way as at Key
West, where they become the sponge OF
commerce and are divided into eight va
rieties in the Bahamas. Those termed
Glands wool" Or "sheeps WOOL are as
fine and soft as silk and very strong.
Others, though large and perhaps tough,
are coarse and comparatively worthless.
There are "bouquet" sporges, "wire"
sponges, and finger" and "glove"

ly co-incident as they are, and entering
so fully into details, should give the
reader clear comprehension OF the sys-
tenn in vogue at the sponge fisheries; now
let us glance at their
VAST SCOPE.
This industry extends nearly along the
whole coast of Florida beginning near
Appalachicola, and conforming to theline
of the coast, to..within fifty miles of Cedar
Key, when there is break of one hun
dred miles, after which it reappears and
runs south without interruption to Key
West, and>beyond that place to the Ba-
hama islands This reef which is rocky
ledge, sometimes OF genuine limestone,
but generally of coral, begins some six
or eight miles from shore and continues
out indefinitely; in fact wherever there
is rocky bottom, sponges are said to be
found, and the only reason why the fish
cries do not reach completely around the
Gulf coast is that in places, as off the
shore of Texas or Cedar Keys, the rocky
bottom exists in water too deep to per-
init of profitable sponging.
The distance covered by these fisheries
is nearly five hundred miles. Recently,
Tarpon Springs, located almost midway
of this long line of coral reef, has become
a favorite resort of the sponge fishers,
and there is prospect of creating there
an auctiOn-mart for the same with a
chance of securing respectable share Of
the trade.
The average depth of water on the st.
Mark reef at six miles from land, is six
teen feet. There the sponges are in great
abundance and OF good quality, being
much better than those off the coast of
Mexico, but rather inferior to the Bahia
ma variety. The supply is practically
inexhaustible as they grow almost as
fast as gathered-a sponge requiring only
two years to reach maturity.
A majority of the largest sponges are
found in deep water, and there has been
so much gathering done in the shallower
places, that in spite of the rapid growth
of the sponges, that the deeper waters
are being more and more sought, with,
of course, increased difficulty in making
the "catch." When it is completed, how
ever, the vessels return to Key West,
Cedar Key, Tarpon Springs or wherever
else may have been their starting point,
and the sponges are sold at auction after
having been separated into lots, where
they are inspected by buyers who make
bids-each parcel or lot in rotation going
to the highest bidder as at an ordinary
auction sale Of goods.
Fully as much as $40 worth of
sponges have been sold in few hours at
Key West. The price is rarely below
$500 per pound, and often double that
amount owing to the increasing demand
and supply. Sponges, latterly, like oy-
sters are more largely preserved from ex-
tinction by planting or cultivating them
and this has been done with abundant
success.
At the risk of proving tedious by rep
etition in substance of a portion that
has already been stated, the writer will
now detail as he heard it related at Key
West, the mode of sponge fishing in use

graphs as follows to c. w. Branch d Co.
Trading in wheat has been much smaller
to-day than for some time back, although OF
quite respectable proportions. The bears
rallied all their forces shortly after the
opening. and with the aid Of considerable
liquidation by the longs found little trouble
in pounding the market off TO 1917, from
which point it rallied quite sharply on some
excellent buying, although the cables,
clearances and rosy estimates Of large eX-
portable surplus are not very favorable for
holders. It's question if the bears and
plungers have not gained too many con-
verts in the past few days, as considerable
OF the selling was by the shorts that covered
above 40. The break has been good one,
Notwithstanding the price is still consdera-
ably above the old dollar mark" that it
was thought would never be reached, and
it is question if it is not nearing the time
to take the bull side again.
