SMALL
IN SPONG|NC
BUSINESS
Large Catch Has Forced Prices to
Low Level Beds Being
Trimmed Out.
A dispatch from Key West to the

a dispatch from Key West to the
Jacksonville Times-Union says:
With a few exceptions the entire
sponge fleet is back from the bay
with average catches of about 25O
punches. The largest catch was $50
punches, made by the schooner New
port. Last season the prices paid
would have made this very profit
able trip, but the prices have gone
down so that aponges which brought
IS bunch last year are selling this
season for So. About $4,000 was sold
last Wednesday and $1,000 Thursday.
The large quantity of sponge fur
nlshed the market by the divers has
been the cause of the great drop in
prices. 1t is more than probable,
however. that this onslaught on the
heds will thin them out SO that by
next year the supply will again be be
low the demand and the prices will
go up. All the Key West vessels
brought their cargoes here to be sold
The prices here were far in excess
of those paid in Tarpon Springs. The
present season has demonstrated that
the sponge taken by the hookers are
of a better grade and are far less
damaged than those brought in By
the divers. Many of the sponge gath
cred by the divers are torn ana are
thus reduced in value, and some Of
them are filed with crab holes.
The market has been flooded by
divers, however, and the prices have
have been forced down because the
buyers could not handle the large
quantities that have been thrown OF
the market.
1T is thought that before the mex
season that some of the European
houses may send buyers here and the
added competition will serve TO pusl
the prices up.

CONGRESS NOTABLE - ERROR
IN suNDRY CIVIL BILL Discov-
Erred IN NICK OF TIME AND REC
TEIED.
BY Associated Press

washington, June 30.--For the first
time in the history of this government
congress adjourned on the day which
closes the fiscal year. Some interest
ing features marked the end which
finally came when less than quorum
was in either house, as many senator's
and representatives believing adjourn
ment had come early in the day, made
arrangements to leave in the after
noon and did not remain for the clos
ing scenes.
An error in the sundry civil appro-
'priation bill caused a furry. 1t was
found by Secretary Root after the bill
had been signed by the president that
the bill contained an appropriation of
three million dollars for a site for a
public building in washington, which
had been eliminated from the two
other bills. The error was corrected
by joint resolution
The president came to the capital
at about one O'Clock in anticipation OF
early adjournment ana when he found
there would be deIay in order to se-

and after further wait went to the
senate barber shop for a shave. Al
six o'clock he decided to return to the
White House and there await notifi-
cation that congress was ready to adj
journ.
Speaker Cannon rigidly carried out
his intention of keeping back the adj
journment resolution until all bills
were passed and the hour of final adj
journment was not known until a
short time before the gavel fell with
the announcement of dissolution.
Both senate and house met early
but a long recess was necessary IN
the afternoon to enable the enrolling
clerks to catch up on bills that had
been passed.
The closing scenes in the senate
were formal and embarrassing. In
! the house the usual hilarious perform
ances was carried out consisting OF
amusing speeches and songs. No bus

p,eting pending legislation, was trans
