PATENT OFFICE
EARNS s71,745
|NF|SCAL YEAR
Annual Report Shows Receipts
Much Larger Than IN
1920.

The Patent Office continues to be
a source of much revenue to the
Government. according to the report
of the work done during the year,
which is contained in the annual re-
port of the Secretary of the Interior.
The net surplus for the fiscal year
was 7l,746.73. making q total proiit
to the Government out of the Patent
Office to date of $8.376,769.29.
The number of patents granted ana
trademarks, prints, and labels reg.
istere6 was 53,817, an increase OF
6,40S over the preceding fiscal year
and 1O,464 over the fiscal year 1919.
The receipts of money for the year
were $2,712.11s.69. being an increase
of SOC, 422.36 over the preceding fiscal
year and $598,769.62 over the fiscal
year 1919.
The receipt of applications is far
In excess of the capacity OF the
clerical force to handle, the report
says. The total number OF applica-
tons filed jumped from 1857 in
the fiscal year 1919 to 107,656 in the
fiscal year just closed, an increase OF
43 per cent In two years. In view
of this increase of receipts, and In
consequence of the present fixed or
ganizs ton and rate of separation OF
the technical personnel, the work has
fallen In arrears and the quality Of
the output suffered in character.
On June 80. 1919. the number OF
applications for patents awaiting
action amounted to 1878; on June
80, 1921, to 49.324, creating condi-
ton unprecedented in the history Of
the office. The average new case
is now reached for first action in
about seven or eight months, the
normal period beng one month.

STOCK MARKET
SHOWS LIFE AT
EARLY SESSION

New York, Aug. 12-Teehnical
conditions on the stock exchange
today were seemingly responsible
for the improvement in the fore
noon market.
There were no alterations for the
better in monetary conditions or
other factors which have recently
been operative. Mexican Petroleum
advanced 2%. and Panhandle, Roy
al Dutch, Texas oil, and Studebak-
er, Kelly-Springheld, American Su-
gar, American Tobacco, United
Crucible Steel, Reading, Illinois
Central, Union Pacific, Northern
Pacific, st. Paul preferred and
Rock Island one to two points.
A subsequent outbreak of liquid
alton in Central Leather and Con-
tinental Can. which carried them
down three points each to new low
levels. caused some recessions from
the top figures elsewhere. Call
money was maintained at per
cent.
Further weakness in industrial
shares at the opening OF today's
stock market intensified the pre-
vailing detection in speculative cir
cles. Bethlehem Steel, General
Electric. Royal Dutch, American
Writing Paper preferred, Sears
Roebuck and Colorado & Southern
lost 1 to IA, and Mercantile Marine
preferred, Baldwin. Pullman. Gen
eral Asphalt, Sumatra Tobacco, Re
tail Stores, and American Linseed
one-half< to three-Quarters Later
experimental buying operations in
the railroad group to see what
would follow, caused some short
covering in other quarters. Atchi-
son, Union Pacific. Reading. North
ern Pacific, Mexican Petroleum,
Studebaker and United States AL
cohol were lifted one-half to three
quarters, and Western Union l and
/ II points Foreign exchange rates
were steady.

MOLINE STORES
INCREASE TRADE
ONLARGE
Hundreds Who Had Not Before
Made Purchases of Local Mer-
chants Spend Money.

The Trade-in-M Moline sale, which
has run for the last nine days, has
been a great success, according to
the reports of every Moline mer-
chant who participated.
Between 1000 and $500 people,
who had never traded in Moline
or were unaccustomed to do SO,
bought in the local stores during
the big sale. The proprietor of
one department store said that his
sales slips showed that more than
400 new customers had purchased
goods in his place.
All of the merchants are at
tempting to make tomorrow the
biggest day of the whole sale.
Many of the stores are offering adj
ditional bargains for the last day.
That the sale will become an an
nual event in Moline now seems to
be very probable. One man said that
a sale every two weeks would be a
fine thing for the community.
A fall fashion pageant to be held
in the Palace theatre is now under
consideration by the merchants. If
the plans materialize department
stores and stores for women will

erty. He says that when they NOV
ed all of the wainscoting was torn
from the walls The two men ad-
NIT that they took the wainscoting,
but contend that it was part of the
fixtures.
Magistrate Gustafson continued
the case until next Tuesday and
released the defendants on their
own recognizance.

WHEAT PRICES
ARE UNUSUALLY
STEADY ON MART

Chicago, Aug. 12.-wheat dis
played unusual steadiness in price
today. Hedging and profit-taking
sales were about evenly balanced
by commission house demand. bas-
ed largely on assumptions that ex-
port business would develop in suf-
hcient volume, to absorb all wheat
surplus in this country and Can
ada On the other hand, export
call today Appeared to have come
to halt. Opening quotations,
which varied from unchanged fig
ures to &c higher, with September
1.24h to LIS and December 1.27h
to LIS. were followed by moder-
ate setback and then by a rally to
about yesterdays finish.
In the last half hour, the market
declined. Official French and Can
adam crop estimates were bearish.
The close was unsettled, 13c to &c
net lower, with September, $1.23 II
to $1.23A and December, $1.251 to
$125A.
Lack OF support weakened corn.
After opening at &c decline to a
like advance, including September
at STAG to $3.50, they underwent
a general sag and showed but little
power to rally
In corn: Country offerings were
liberal and December delivery
touched the lowest level yet this
season. The close was nervous, &c
q sc to 1c lower, with September,

Oats were easier with corn, start
ing unchanged to a shade lighter,
September 36Ac and later declin-
ing call around. Higher quotations
on hogs gave firmness to provi-
sions.
