PATENT OFFICE TOO
CROWDED. FOR WORK
Economy and Efficiency Commission
Recommends that Entire New
Building Be Erected.

That the Patent Office is wholly made
quate for the efficient and economical
transact of business: that the rooms
are crowded and so poorly lighted and
ventilated as seriously to threaten the
health of the employees working there.
and that the provision for extinguishing
fire among the valuable records are so
inadequate that q slight blaze might at
any time envelOp the entire building was
reported to Congress yesterday by the
Presidents Commission on Economy and
Efficiency. working under the joint reso-
luton OF August y last
The commission recommended 10 Con-
gTess that an entirely new building espe-
cially designed. equipped, and furnished
be constructed in the city for the exclu-
sive use OF the Patent ONCE. and that
the present force of employees be in
creased about Is per cent. with an in
crease in the pay roll OF s25S,559.

shed, which would expedite the issuing
OF patents about 30 per cent
The fee for fling an application. said

from SIS to SA. which. IL is estimated,

WALL STREET GOSSIP

There is important buying of stocks on
small recessions now by interests best
posted on the money situation.
The Bank of England discount rate
may be advanced at the Thursday di-
rectors' meeting in the event of strong
New York demands for gold in the
interim.
In Washington it is said some i'm
portant political developments affecting
Steel are pending. Their nature is not
given.
Attention is directed by conservative
interests to the point that many of the
best stocks now return near per
cent and are attractive on account Of
large earnings.
Some of the biggest operators who
sold a week ago have covered short con-
tracts and gone long.
Reading and Southern Pacific seem to
be the most favored stocks for pur-
chasers in quarters usually well in
formed on the market.
It is asserted in circles close to the
Reading inside element that a big trap
has been laid for the bear crowd in that
stock.
We expect to see continued offerings
of tariff protected stocks. This is based
on the state of sentiment and evidence
of a lack of support.
. Foreign interests will buy freely on
further declines in American rails, says
a big international firm.
In the case Of the Government against
the Union Stock Yards Comany and the
Chicago Junction Company, the Supreme
Court yesterday handed down a decision
in favor Of the government. This means
that the Illinois Central has control of
the yards and railroad.
Tariff hearings will be begun by the
Ways and Means Committee on January 6
1t has not yet been decided which sched-
ule will be taken up first. The committee
was in conference yesterday. It is under
stood that Chairman Underwood favors
March Is for the extra session.
In the Supreme Court yesterday the State
of Wisconsin filed its brief in the suit
against the Corn Products Refining Com
pany for alleged misbranding of glucose.
The money market has no friends. The
least rally finds traders on top of it. and
although short interest at times gets big,
any covering movement is easily made,
encouraging further selling. Money Is
distinctly easier, but sentiment is about
as blue as one can imagine, for the rea-
son, II Is believed, that a turn Is near at
hand. There is some good buying. but it
is not aggressive.
Stop orders being caught all along.
Seems to be no news.
Market acts like liquidation from COM
mission houses. People are getting tired
Of putting up margins, and are letting go.

The Tippns bill was put up to the
