Patent fight. London news accounts of ELight delays; gas stocks. If I had half dozen lamps could knock bottom out of gas stocks and opinionated crowd that laughs whenver Edison's name is mentioned. Has gotten all the money for likely to be available for District Teleph Co until legal matters resolved.
