Patent Office Report.

WASHINGTON, d. c., October 26.-The
Commissioner of Patents, in his annual
report to the Secretary of the Interior,
says that the present condition OF the Of
flee is much better than at the time Secre-
tarv Lamar assumed charge Of the de-
partment. At that time the average
period that applicants were forced to wait
for decisions was five and half months,
and in some instances as long as thirteen
months. Now the average time is three
and one-third months, and but two are
but six months behind. Within a short
time the Commissioner thinks the work
will be brought up to date.
In conclusion he recommends that the
price of the official Gdzette be increased
to $3.50 per year, and that some provision
of law be made that will secure copies OF
DEGREES of the Federal courts on patent
cases.
The receipts for the calendar year 1885
were S163,71 which makes sum in the
Treasury to the credit of the Patent-Otilce
of almost $3,000,OO0.
