New York, May 4-opening- specia1ties fell back again at the out set of today's trading, Pressed Steel Car losing 1-2 points with declines of to almost points in General EIec- tric, American Loco, Baldwin Loco motive and National Lead United States Steel yielded 1-2 point on heavy offerings. Standard Railways were mostly lower. while minor stocks of that class made slight gains Cop pers were variable. There were par tial reeoveries the end of the first half hour.
 Noon-The market repeated its course of the previous session, rising and declining alternately with indaca- tfons of further selling at every favor able opportunity. Foreign offerings were not factor, however, although steel and coppers were sold for Euro pean interests in moderate amounts. The buying was relatively light, be- coming increasingly dull towards mid day, when representative shares show ed general gains. Industrials and the miscellaneous group presented a mix ture of losses and gains, motor issues being especially strong. Bonds were irregular.

| LARGE AUDIENCE GIVES MANTELL WARM WELCOME Distinguished Actor Opens Lo-
 cal Engagement in
 King John' NEVER SUCH A FEAST
 OF SHAKESPEARE HERE Splendid Company Supports Him Brilliant Perform
 aIlces Coming.

Robert B. Manten, in whose person are now consolidated all the tradf- dons of the Shakespearean drama, played King Jolnn.'' at The Park, last night, with all necessary accessories, including a splendid company There was a large house, mainly composed of Shakespearean enthusiasts, and adA nirers of MT. MantelL They made the evening brisk with applause, and compelled the players to appear many times before the curtain
 King John'' is not as well known as some of the Shakespeare plays It is a tragedy, of the historical group. which, in plot and morals, bears a re- ,semblance to Macbeth. Ambition is the motive upon the action is ground ed, hah1ng, hesitating cowardly ambition, such as Macbeth displays. As in Macbeth, the springs of anbi- ton are in women, Queen Elinor, mother to King John, and Constance, mother to Arthur, desiring the pro- motion of their offspring, as Lady. Macbeth did the promotion of her husband.
 MT. ManteH rendered with force and truthfulness the qualities and character of the vaciIlating and con- science smitten King John. His death scene partook more of modern reaI- ism, than of the older romantic SC44OO4 dAl lASS <O0dJn DangS or the dying king, might have been taken from the ward of hospital, so terrible was its resembIanoe to the progress ing movement of a normal dissolu- ton.
 MT. MantelI is to remain in Bridge pJort for a. week Bridgeport has never had such feast of Shake speare. Perhaps never again will there be assem bled such a company. equipped for the perefor1pance of so many of Shakespeare's plays, with such wealth of scenery.
 Mr. Manteu has been for so many years a finished actor, 1t Is difficult to tell if he improves with experi- ence, or whether he clings at the peak of a perfection which he. alone enjoys in this field. But he surely has improved his stage parapherna- l1a, especially in the lighting The eye is a powerful aid to the ear, and music a powerful aid to drama
 It is unlikely the people of any previous era, enjoyed such Shake- speare as MT. ManteIl provides. There have been other great actors. but there have not been ether great inter-. preters of Shakespeare, who have aided by the very latest methods which modern science has given to the stage.
 Tonight MT. Mantell will appear in
 Hamlet" Wednesday matinee he will play Shylock, in eAThe Merchant. of Ven1ce,'' and Wednesday evening. .Riche1ieu, in Bo1fver sIytton's play of the same name-

 Abandonment of the plan for the participation of King victor and high government officials in the ceremonies attendant upon the unveiling is be- heyed to have been the result of a call made by Prince Von BueIow, the Ger man ambassador, on Foreign Minister this conference are supposed to have been presented at the meeting: of the Cabinet, the call for which was not 1s- sued until yesterday morning
 The ministers assent bledz two hours later and the council lasted four hours

 NEWS PRINT PAPER

Washington, May 4-Increased rate on news print paper and other papers from points in New England to New York city and adjacent points over the Boston & Maine, the New Haven and the Boston & Albany railroads were approved in part today by the Interstate Commerce Commission
 In it's decision, the commission de- clared that the proposed rates are the result of a compromise between the railroads and paper manufactur- CTS, principally located in the vicinity of HoIyoke, Mass. The increase from the section is from 16 cents per 100 pounds to the third class rate at 20 cents per 100 pounds, and that ar rangement, the commission points out, is satisfactory to the nnanufae- turers principally concerned.

 The Press is unanimous is declaring the abandonment of the Kings trip to Quarto has in no way altered the gov ernments decisions. A semi-of1cial note couched in vague general terms says:

 An official of foreign office is re- ported to have stated that the govern ment's decision was due entirely to the situation in TripoH where Italy might be forced to extreme measures to protect our colony where German agents are fomenting rebellion.''
 Rome, May 4-The decision of King Victor Emmanuel and the members or the ministry not. to take part in the ibaldii monument at Quarto San 'EIina is commented upon today as a step of very great significance.
 The prospective presence ofNHis Ma Jesty at the unveiling had come to be regarded as virtually tantamount to a declaration of war. The change in the Kings plans is regarded as mean ing that the participation of Italy in the European conflict again has been postponed.
 The hope is being entertained that the efforts of Italy to arrange a peace full solution of her problems may ulti- mately be successful.

 All the retail liquor dealers in Lon don, through their trade organization, have united in protest against the proposed increased taxation on spir- it's, wines and beers.
