Aod yet, according to tbe telegrams of lb state of the oil market, received ibat day, the joke was used by the aforesaid Butter, as lb price or oil went down at least 25 oeols per barrel, and to suppose a case, somebody, we don't mean Butlers, "loaded up" al the reduced figure, and ar Nlel Bryant puis it. probably "That's Where tbe Joke Comes In."
