Downie Stewart will be allotted that' portfolio. It is not thought likely that the portfolio of Agriculture will change hands, and in itself it generally is considered to ho a one-man job. Mr Nosworthy s acceptance of tb.e Finance porttolio, it will be remembered, was only really in the nature of provisional noeeptame. As it is more than likely now that Sir James Parr will leave New Zealand in March next to succeed Sir James Allen, whose term as High Commissioner ends by eflluxion of time, it is considered more than a probability that the lion E.
