YESTERDAY'S TELEGRAMS.

THE CABINET RECONSTRUCTION.

December 7, 8 50 p.m.

It is understood that Mr. Lloyd George, is aiming at a Cabinet of twelve, composed of five Unionistä, five Liberala and two Labourites, one Labour member, of the Cabinst presumably to be a member of the War Council, with,, three other Labourites in the Ministry.

Mr. Lloyd George's principal difficulty at present is to secure adequate Liberal representation, owing to the refusal of nearly all the Diberal ox-Ministers to serve.

A meeting of the Liberal War Committee, attended by thirty members, resolved to actively support Mr. Lloyd George.

Mr. Asquith presides over a meeting of the Liberal party 10-morrow.

לי

December 8. 1.40 p.

The prompt decision aiready evidenced by Mr. Lloyd George has resulted in a landslide in his favour. There is no doubt that the Ministry will be practically complete by Deosmber 12 He is throughout co-operating in the closest manner with Mr. Bonar Law and, Sir Edward Carson.

It is stated that the War Committee will number four or fire and that the Cabinet will not hamper the Comfy mittee's ports.

According to the "Daily Chronicle," Mr. Chamberlain has declined office on the ground of ill-health.

An interesting departure is the intention ascribed to Mr. Lloyd George to introduce into the Ministry prominent busi-

pzés men.

The Times" ways that it is understood that Sir A. H. Stanley, manager of the London Tubes and the General Omnibus Co, Lord Devonport, and Mr. Hichens of Mesura. Cammell, Laird and Co., will be associated with the Ministry. Great educational authorities, like the Vice-Chancellors of the Universities of Sheffield and Leeds will be appointed to the Education Office."

It is stated that the Lebourites pressed Mr. Lloyd George- on the subject of conscription of labour and wealth, and that Mr. Lloyd George replied that he contemplated regulating the work of the whole of our manhood and a scheme to control investments and savings the effect of which will be to place the realised wealth of the country at the disposal of the Government; also largely extend the War Profits Tax. Mr. Lloyd George also promised that there should be a Labour delegate at the Peace Conference.

December 9, 9.45 p.m. The Privy Council meeting for to-day was cancelled. It is understood that this is owing to insufficient progress in forming.

■ Cabinet,

D craber 10, 5.15.m. The "Weekly Despatch" says that Mr. Lloyd George's programture is as follows:-Arming of merchantmen; Pre- paration for Spring offensive; Mobilisation of civilians be- tween 16 and 60; An effective blockade; Issue of food tickets; Increase of homegrown food; Banning of work im- material to the war; Enforcement of prohibition of luxuries Meatless days.

THE SILVER MARKET,

#

D-omber 7, 8.50 p.m. Mesare Montagu report a steadiness in price and significant tendency upward, despite the fall of China ex- changes. Until the stock at Shanghai is replenished from the interior the sales account in China is very doubtful. The Indian basars hold favourable views of the market; doubt- less due to a fall during the week of 219 lakhs in the Indian Treasury's holding.
