Nzw Yors, May 7.—The ezpiration of tha Batchelder needle-plate patent is expected to morrow to work important changes in the sew- {og-machine trade, besides reducing the inflated prices which have prevailed somany years. The Batchelder Is the last of the scries of patents held by tho 8inger, Wheeler & Wilson, and Grover & Buker combination, which has con trolled the buelness and exacted royalties from outside companies for a long period. The old Horwe patent was held-by this comblnation, and effectually conlrolled the manufacture of all machines, In addition to this.the combination up to three years ago owned the old Wilson - patent for a four motlon,which, with the Batch- clder patent, gave them a practical command of the entire business. Outside companles pald & royalty of from $1 to $3 on cach machine msnu- factured by them, all of which went into the packets of the combination. One of the out- side companies pald as high ns $80,000 8 ycar in royaltics for ten years, and still made Immenss ! protits, the margin In the sewing-inachine busl- & ness being so enormous.
