During the last session of Congress an APP
plication for the renewal of the patent of the
Wheeler & Wilson sewing machine was re-
jected. This fact, however, has as yet had
no effect upon the price of machines, because
the patent has not yet expired; nor will it
when that expiration occurs have the effect
expected. for the reason that there are as
many rs fourteen, if not more, patents still
existing on parts or improvements of the
machine, and these will still remain the mo-
nopoly of the company which controls them
for some years to come. The probable eff
feet of the early expiration of the original
patent will be to reduce the cost of tho ma
chine to some extent, because then any per-
son can manufacture the original machine,
and competition will arise just so far. AT
terward there viii be gradual reduction of
price as newer patents expire, as it is inn
probable that any of them will ever again be
renewed.-NetO York Times.
