auction to the best bidder, and, as the supply is growing less each seasonIwith the constant fishing, bidding is active.
 Frequently storms arise which send the small boats scurrying back from whence they came. Even in the best of weather the work is trying. The heat is severe on the fishers, as they bend over the gunwale all day with their chest and knees heavily padded to relieve the constant strain from bending.
 The sponges are laid on the sand to dry, after which they are packed in the hold of the ship. About once in six or eight weeks the vessel goes to market. Sponges are not sold by weight, but during the forenoon deal CTS examine the piles and make their bids, and in the afternoon man sells them at auction, lot by lot. to those whose papers show the highest bid per pile. In former years sponges were sold at the fisheries by the pound but to-day they are sold at so much per string. Each size will average about a certain number of pieces per string, and all strings are exactly the same length. The value sometimes is S4 ,OOO per pile, and spot cash it paid to fishermen half an hour after bids are awarded.
 The average Florida sponge business amounts to about $500, 1000 per year. The Florida fishing grounds are about 18O miles long, to 20 miles wide and contain about 5000 square miles. The sponge business was not always in the fourishing state it is at the present time. In 1850 cargo was shipped to New York merchandise broker, who was unable to sell them and had to warehouse them for two years. At the end of that time merchant who dealt in Mediterranean sponges was induced to look at them and bought the entire cargo at from 15 to IS cents pound. To-day similar goods are worth $2 SC per pound. It was not until the year 1870 that sponge fishing became an in' dustry and the first vessel was fitted

up. The SpOngeS are purchased on the wharves, packed in bales and sent to the home warehouse, where they are sorted according to class. The old way is for the fishermen to auction off their cargoes, lot by lott the highest bid ders, who ship their purchases to sponge brokers in New York and the East. These brokers dispose of their product to travelling men and Jobbers The expenses incident to this method of doing business are obviated in a very large measure by the James H. Rhoades Co.,, Chicago, Ill.,, who buy sponges on the spot, ship them to Chicago, sort and arrange. them and sell them in quantities to suit, direct to consumers, in bales containing as small quantities as 15 to 20 pounds. These sponges are assorted to meet every specific requirement. of the trade This company maintain their own packing house in Florida, and credit is due to them for the facts furnished. For fifty years the sponge of com. merce came from the Mediterranean. To-day the finest come from the Flori- da and Cuban coasts. From an un. known industry, this has become the leading business of large portion ot the coast. In one respect it resembles the fishing industry off the Newfound land banks, inasmuch as the individ- ual dory has proven the best vessel in which to gather the product.
 Every sponge used in the factories every sponge used in the bath has a history-whether it was gathered ir weather when the fishers can follow their trade undisturbed, or whether i, was procured in a hurricane period | when it meant risk of life for eact moment on the ocean. As sponges car only be gathered in clear water, stormy
 weather means that the schooner!
 must beat about until the weather qulets.

holes and sudden declivities, that div ing is well-nigh impracticable. In con- sequence they are procured by fishing. A long pole, armed with three-pronged hooks, is the weapon used. Sharp edges on the hooks cut loose the >ponges, and they are hauled aboard.
 Under improved methods of sponge gathering and handling, and shipment direct to the distributors to consumers valuable advantages are conferred. I'm proved business methods are the order of the day. Direct methods are taking the place of indirect methods, and those who establish these direct meth odS deserve the encouragement of the trade.
