The Census Office issued a bulletin on the relation of patents to manufac tures. It states that New York, though third in population and patent rank for the first decade, has since been first in both, as well as in manufactures. As the great Middle and Western States were settled they developed manufac tures and also took rank as patent States. The bulletin says: ' "The period from 1840 to 1850 shows a partial stagnation in patent growth. For the decade of 1840 there were 1741 patents granted to the New England States, while in the decade of 1850 there were hut 13-7, a falling oft of 21 per cent., though Massachusetts shows a slight gain. For the next decade, that of 1800. the New England States show a renewal of patent activity, the number of patents issued being 5151, or an in crease of 274 per cent., slightly greater than the growth of the country at large. "Subsequent to 1N50 the States all show a steady patent growth until the decade of 1800, when a falling off in the number of patents issued appears in Maine, Vermont and Nevada. A de crease in the number of patents of Maine and Vermont, as well as for Ne vada, is also shown in the 1900 decade. Likewise a falling off in New Hamp shire and Rhode Island, with a slight decrease in Massachusetts, while a re duced number of patents is also shown for New York, South Carolina and Kentucky. "Though Connecticut shows a slight increase for 1900, it is but 1.4 per cent., while the increase for the country at large for the decade is 15.02 per cent.
