With the preliminaries over Parli
ment will settle down . to business
next Monday. The King will open
too new session with all the ceremo
ay for which the occasion calls and
will be accompanied by Queen Alex
andria In his state procession to Par
llment During his speech Her Maj
esty will sit at hlo right. A great
deal has been said as a forecast of
the action of Premier Asqulth an t
bis party, but little is known as to
the purposes of the Lords regarding
the laws to be made. They are not
Inclined to do a great deal of talking
until some definite action Is taken
affecting their interests, then they
freely open the4 floodgates of their
. oratory. : '
It may be assumed, however, that
the Lords will pass whatever budget
is sent up to them without further
Question'. There Is no longer any
doubt that the reform of the House
of Lords must, be undertaken imme
. finitely, but there Is no hope of Its
accomplishment in the near future
except by a compromise with the Un
ionists or by the Upper house itself
taking the Initiative in this respect
It Is hardly probable that the coala-
tlon government will undertake to
deprive the Second Chamber of the
Teto power by untra-contsltutlonal
. means In the face of the indecisive
erdict of the people of Great Brit
ain at the recent elections.
4 Financial conditions which have
been rather unsteady because of the
, uncertainty of the ' political sltutlon
are expected to undergo a change
for the better very soon. Everything
now depends upon the policy of the
4 cabinet. The whole situation is read
lly summed up in a sentence: Will
Mr. Llody-Oeroge and Mr. Winston
Churchill be the dominating influ
ence in the new cabinet as they were
-la the old one, or will Mr. Asqulth
. Sir Edward Gray and Lord Morlay
take the lead?. The former course
pells a renewal of all the disturb
ances which have afflicted English
securities for the past four years
The latter means . reasonable gov
ernment, a strong navy, and less so
cialism. Until the answer to these
' Questions Is determined, markets will
be more or less unsettled, though
cnoclevably there 'will always be an
undercurrent of strength by reason
of the assurances resulting from the
knowledge that there will at least be
a strong opposition to face any ex
treme government measures.
During the storm yesterday not a
few amused themselves watching peo
pie fall while walking over the slick
trap ' doors leading to the cellars.
Many of these are actually danger
ous and sooner or later some one Is
going to be seriously Injured.
