SPONCE SUPPLY IN DANCER.
C.irnlessties o! Cult. in fishermen Threat
en the Hcds With KkUiivIIiiii,
The sponge supply of the Unite 1 Hiate Is
seriously threaten') I by the wanton curob'ss
nessofllie Ctl'iau sponge llshormeii. For
several years they have been gathering the
sm ill or infaiii spong.M with those of larger
growth. The Inevitable resuli Is that the
Cuban sponge beds, from whlcu the greater
portion of sponges used In the United Htates
oonie, are threatened with total extinction.
Already prices have advance I, and a still
further increase U probable In a vary short
time. The shipments ol sponges to dealers
vary greatly iu size and time of nceip!. To
gainer them It Is necessary that the water
should be iths ilutoly clear, an I If for any
reasou the ocean Is disturbed In more than
ordinary dugreo over the sponge beds, the
fishermen must wait for olcar water por
Uaiis a week, or even a month.
The pongee which onto from Cuba nre
known u-i medium i;ra I", th" variety lu gen
eral use. Florida una Nassau f iiruis.it a pro
portion of the supply oi this grade, but noth
ing like the amount that comes from Cuba.
Tue best sh ngcs.ii re known as the Me llturra
ncan variety, as ihey come from beds in the
"ii of that uutmt. They are the heavy, white
sponges, and are always high-priced. Eveu
the supply of these, however, is much amall
urthnu usual. Ho people-can make up their
minds that this is not n year ol couap
