Both openings are on next Thursday
night. Warf1eld will be at Englishs

David Warfeld's appearance as Shy
lock at English's on Thursday night
will reveal the realization of the am
bition that has nobly inspired and
guided him to successive higher at
tainments since the beginning Of his
career. In all the years of his artistic
growth there never has been a time
in which to impersonate this most
exacting Of all Shakespeare charac-
tiers was not his goal.
Therefore he has come to Shylock
by no royal road. To him The Mer-
chant of Venice does not represent
an expedient or a commonplace addi-
ton to a famous actors repertory.
Rather his characterization of Shy
lock is to be considered as the sum
OF twenty years ceaseless study.
From the beginning of his long as
sociation with David Belasco, it was
understood that eventually Warfield
was to be presented as Shylock with
an environment. both as to cast and
physical accessories, that would make
his introduction in the classic drama
memorable in the annals Of the stage
and to this end these two great ar
lists have never ceased to plan and
toll until the consummation OF last
season when Warfields Interpretation
so won the public that the New York
run Of the Belasco production was
nearly double that of any previous
record for consecutive performances

RAILROAD SHARES ! LEAD STOCK RISE
Talk Of Mergers Stimulates Buying Of Rails

i NEW YORK. July 1syARailroad shares asstmed the leadership of the upward movement of stock prices this week after an early period of irresu- iarity. Buying of the rails was en- forced by talk sof mergers and the decision of the interstate commerce commission. denying farmers a reduc- tion of freight rates On grain.

PROVISIONS SHOW
 RISE WITH GRAIN
Canadian Crop Pessimism Sends
 Prices Up

CHICAGO, July 19.-Record break ing high prices and immense expansion of trading have been witnessed this week in the grain and provision busi- ness here. Indications that the wheat crop in Canada might be less than half of the yield in 1923 were largely re- sponsible. Compared with a week ago, wheat this morning was 8 IA to 10 Is cents higher, with cornl5 cents to z Is cents up, oats showing 1 3-8 cents to 3 5-S cents gain, and provisions at a rise verying from 40 to 90 cent.
 Much of the excitement among grain traders arose from assertions that as result of drought and hot winds the wheat crop outlook for Canada was the worst in twenty years. A tremendous rush of buying ensued, and an immedi- ate jump of cents a bushel took place. Then waves of profit-taking sales and of new buying succeeded each other day after day, with price fluctuations so wide and rapid that blackboard records were frequently 1 cent or more at vari- ance with actual pit values. Meanwhile, foreign markets advanced even faster than Chicago, and it was pointed out that for the first time in many months wheat grown in the United States was in position to compete the world over.
 At the crest of the advance in. wheat prices, gain of about 30 cents bushel was shown since the low level some six weeks ago, and the volume of transac- tions had multiplied millions of bushels. Toward the close of the week, however, drenching rains in Canada were re- ported, and enthusiastics who had been talking of $1.50 as a wheat price goal were at least temporarily inclined to waver.
 Corn and oats swung upward with wheat, temperatures remained too low for corn to grow we'll, and receipts were abnormally meager. -
 Provisions and hogs kept page with the extraordinary ascent of grain.
