BEG ASQUITH
TO BE PREMIER
Business Interests Of England
Want Relief From Chaotic
Conditions
MOB BREAKS UP A
LLOYD-GEORGE MEETING

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
LONDON, Jan. 2e.-The strongest busi-
ness interests in England are to-day
bringing pressure to bear on Premier
Asquith to again accept the premiership
regardless Of the size Of the 44iberal-La-
borite majority over the Conservatives
Erhc possibility Of an immediate election in
the event OF the Liberals refusing the
ministerial control is considered such a
menace to the industrial and financial life
Of the nation that every effort will be
made to keep the new parliament in ses-
sion at least until May or June. few
months respite from politics is deemed abb
solutely essential to the nations welfare.
-Asquith is being implored to head the
new government until a budget is passed
and some relief furnished from the chaotic
condition resulting from the non-existence
Of taxation legislation.
The proposal OF many business interests
of neutral government for few months
Under the leadership of some such man as
Lord Rosebery or Lord Cromer is hotly
resented by the Liberal radicals without
whose approvals the scheme cannot be
successful.
THE plan to hand the government over
TO the defeated party declared Chancel-
Tor of the Exchequer Iloyd-George. lis
characteristic of the fnsolenee Of a certain
class, which is deuded by the idea that
providence intended it to rule. We will not
admit the claim for a minute"
Lloyd-George's aim at the premiership
is becoming more apparent according to
many informed politicians. The chancel-
lor is seeking to hurry Premier Asquiths
decision on the re-aeceptance of the pre-
miership in the hope It is charged, that
The premier will eventually surrender the
post. in which event it is all but assured
that Lloyd-George would himself be Sc
leeted
Returns from Yesterdays voting show
that Asquith was reelected in East Fife
by handsome majority
I1oyd-George was forced to abandon
speech at stourbridge last evening on ac-
count Of hostility of a mob that invaded
The meeting. One hundred police formed
body guard about the chancellor ana
escorted him from the hall.

MEAT PRICES
ARE REDUCED
Crusade Has Affect of Re-
duCing Wholesale Price
Of Beef
CHOICE CUTS, HOWEVER,
HOLD TO FORMER PRICES

The wholesale price of the best beef
has gone down 80 cents on the hundred
pounds, and the retail price Of the
lower grades Of nearly all the meats
has been reduced from two to four
cents.
Such apparently has been the af-
feet of the anti-meat crusade here.
There has been no change in the re-
tail price Of the best beef, however
and to-day it is being sold at from
z to % cents a pound, as 1t was last
week. IF people want good beef,
they've got TO pay egood prices" a
well-known retailer said this morning
He added, however, that in view of the
unsettled condition Of the meat mar
ket, there was no telling what prices
would be from one day TO the other,
Pork Price Reduced.
Pork mas been reduced two cents
pound retail. Pork chops that brought
20 cents a pound a few days ago are
now is cents. Other grades have been
reduced from Is to : IS cents. The
cheaper grades Of lamb have been re-
duced little, but the best grades are
priced as they were last week, 20 to
30 cents a pound. The best veal re-
tains its price. II to % cents a pound.
Sausage and scrapple are evidently
still as popular as ever, for their last
weeks prices, is and 10 cents per
pound respectively, are maintained.
Eggs have come down three cents a
dozen, and were selling at As cents to-
day. Some of the very best eggs.
however, We're sold in King street mar
ket this morning for 55 cents. Butter
appears 10 be holding its own at 40
cents a pound and oleo at from 25 to
80 cents a pound is becoming popu-
lar. There seems TO be no boycott
against poultry. The most popular
of poultry, chicken, is selling at the
usual prices, from 10 to 20 cents
pound, and poultry dealers in Third
street market say business is as good
as ever.
No Change in Vegetable Prices.
According to Peter Celia, of Fourth
and King streets. the price Of vege-
tables this year is no greater than last
year. although business is not as good
Householders can judge FOR them
selves. however, by the following quo
rations: Caulifiower. 10 to 30 cents
apiece; tomatoes, 20 TO 80 cents
quart; oniQus. cents quart pep-
pers, . to z cents: celery, to 30 cents
q bunch: sweet potatoes. 10 to 10 cents
q quart; radishes, to 10 cents
turnips. cents a quart: car
rots, 10 cents a quarter peck; string
beans. Is TO q cents a quart; spinach
10 to Is cents; Gale. cents a half peck; /
new potatoes, Is to 25 cents a peck; |
beets, 8 cents a bunch; cabbage, to |
10 cents a head.
Fruits have not varied much. Apples, I
at 10 TO 20 cents a quarter peck, are
4 bit higher than usual owing to scar
'ity. Oranges are cheap at Is to 40
,ents a dozen. Grapes are quoted
1t IS to % cents a pound.
Householders who. can buy butter and
'ggs and beef these days are wealthy
'nough to eat mushrooms and for their
benefit it may be added that mush-
ooms are selling at 40 to so cents a
lound. Dealers who sell mushrooms
ay there is more nutriment in one
'ound of mushrooms than in two
pounds of beef and that a good way
o fight the beef trust would be to
at mushrooms in place of meat.
