TRADING IN BUTTER
 IMPROVES IN.' TONE
Fair Clearance Of Stock Is Re
 norted By Dealers

CHICAGO, June S.-Trading in but ter this week has show some improve lment over the previous week and in spite of the more or less unsettled and uncertain conditions which pre- vailed at the opening, dealers have enjoyed fair clearance of stock and were expressing a little more con fidence in the situation. At the close of the week, however, with the butter trade showing better storing quality, some buying for storage became mani- fest, especially in New York and Bos- ton where dealers found it possible to obtain slight pemiums of the more de sirable lots. The buying interest at Chicago, however, continued to center on the medium and the lower scores wkich gave the market on the top grade sthe appearance of being a tbrifle strained. This lack of demand resulted in a decline of Ac on top scores at Chicago on Friday but even at the decline the market appeared to be in |, good steady position.

''The Thief Of Basdad," Douglas
Fairbanks latest picture. is said to

The story of the thief's regenera-
ton through love Of the Princess is
one of human progress. and whether
it is clothed in ancient or modern
beliefs and customs. the fact is ever
present through the fantasy and
forms the foundation of the story.

himself with a company OF unusual
actors to interpret the fantastic tale.

member of the famous Morgan Dane
ers, impersonates the Princess: So
jim Kamayama, imported from ia
pan. impersonates the Mongof
Prince; Anna May Wong. a charm
ing little Chinese girl. is seen as the

evil associate, and Brandon Hurst
is the caliph.
