duction, "The Bat" is a fascinating
detective problem, with everything
in it calculated to interest the most
jadcd of audiences. 'The Bat" is
one sensation after another, with no
solution bubbling up until the mo-
ment the story gives its secret up.
There are attempted murders and
sudden encounters on every floor of
the seemingly haunted mansion, and
its spooky garrets are filled with
bales of money. There is an hyster-
ical slavey who jumps at every
shadow that crosses the wall, and a
comedy detective who butts in to
add complications. There is the
shuddery, expectant and destructive
atmosphere Of unexplained evil do
ings, with dozen people under sus-
picion all at once. There is bank
robbery, a financial crash, and the
demise of the respected president
under peculiar circumstances, and
the sudden absconding of the teller
who holds the key to the debacle, or
at least to the vault that held the
money. Hidden blue prints of a Sc
cret room in the house are sought
by eager volunteers. Romance shines
undefeated throughout all the trou-
blesome plots and counterplots.
There is not one sisgle minute that
the spectators spine is not called
upon to rise and SILVER, and his
throat to rattle in frightful gasps Of
joy.
Although tens of thousands have
seen the stage version of 1.-THE Bat"
in its several years. career, the Sc
cret Of its real culprit as finally re-
vealed by its authors, Mary Roberts

BUTTER IS NERVOUS

Lack of Speculative Demand, So

Of speculative demand. This kind of
demand. however, during June is most
necessary in order to provide a
healthy active market, and in It's
absence business is unsettled and
nervous.
Operators for the most part are not
expressing a great deal of confidence
in regard to storing of butter at the
present level of prices. which are
about 21a cents higher than in June
a year ago.
At no time during the last week
could trade have been called active.
Receivers, therefore, were sending a
large percentage of their arrivals of
fine butter to the freezers, chiefly to
avoid taking losses which would be in
CURED by selling at the current level
of prices.
In spite of the unsatisfactory trade,
prices nevertheless showed practical
ly no change at Chicago, and the de-
cline on Eastern markets amounted to
only one-half cent, although reports
on butter production indicated steady
gains. and the general outlook is for
maintained production in the ma jor
