Act Is Amended.

Fifty-seven patents were granted under
the statute Of 1880. Following this new
act was passed in 1898, and in 1896 the
system was amended. Less than 10000
patents preceded it. Under the last
amendment the patent Office was estab-
lshed and hardly had the ink of Presi-
dent Jackson's signature had time to o'y
before the walls OF the patent office be-
gan to rise. Other changes in the law
took place in 1851 1889, 1872. 1851, 1870
and 1878.
In 1890 the work required the infrequent
services of a single clerk. Prior and up
to the administration of President Jack
son the entire business OF the Office was
carried on by DIR. William Thornton, Will
liam Elliott William P. Elliott and Ben
jalnin Fenwick. Al the present time
there are about $50 individuals on the
pay roll of the office.
One interesting fact of the work of the
early Office is that about 1928 a single
pony was kept by the government for the
use Of the Office. Benjamin Fenwick rode
this pony when he used to go to the State
Department to have the patents signed
by the Secretary of State and other OFF,
cials.
John c. Keelan talked this afternoon of
the work in the government printing Of
flee when in 1893 the 500, ,OOOth patent was
expected to go through. An Ohio man
was not the patentee, pointed out Mr.
Keelan, but an Ohio compositor set the
take-patent for an agricultural imple-
ment and issued to an Iowa man.
Compositors Wanted the Ten.
"A strong rumor," said Mr.. Keelan,
was current in the government printing
office that a ten-dollar bill was inclosed
in the jacket that contained specifica-
ton No. 10000, and every compositor
was out for that ten. Working the box
in the old specification room was a
science; cost 50 to be caught, and none
but the sharks could afford to take the
chance.

Cash corn was heavy.
Throughout the session oats dis
played reluctance to rally with corn

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, March 5.-Tae cotton
was nervous today with the close
barely steady at a net decline of to
Ia points; generally to points low
er on old crop positions.
The opening was steady at ii de-
cline of to ii points under con
tinuation of yesterdays selling move
ment, with May contracts selling at
l4.34c, or about 80 points under the
high level of YESTERDAY morning. This
was lower than due on the somewhat
disappointing cables and prices soon
rallied on a renewal of bull support
and covering of shorts, but after sell
ing up to 1850 for May, or at an adj
vance of about to points on old
crop Positions. the market again
weakened.
Riimors that an extra session of
congress was most probable and pri-
vate cables from Liverpool reporting
that a meeting of Lancashire spinners

a short time proposition csused con-
siderable liquidation and there were
sharp reactions with new crop months
selling into new low ground for the
day during the late trading.
The trade seemed TO be very ner-
vuus over the situation in Washington
evidently fearing action on the Scott

NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York, March Endorsements of
the stocks exchange today were AT
fected largely by the tenor of reports
from Washington. The market was
irregular with an upward tendency in
spite of the difficulties which be
set bullish operators, but few mate
rial net gains were recorded at the
cl-lse.
Approximations of an extra session
of congress with its possibilities Of
tariff changes oyershadower all other
influences and the conflicting reports
heard on Wall Street from Washing
ton made the market nervous all day.
Buying movements in the morning
were interferred with by liquidation
whenever Improvement was well un-
der way. but in the afternoon the mar
lSet grew somewhat steadier and the
prices moved upwards slowly. The
course of the market as whole
seemed to indicate that those who are
in control regarded the legislative sit
nation at the National capitol as sec
ond in importance only to decisions
i'm the antitrust suits.
Estimates indicate that the outcorae
as shown in tomorrow's bank state
ment will be a gain Of perhaps 81,
