At the conclusion the speaker was accorded a very hearty vote of thanks for his instructive address, At Addington stock sales on Wednesday West Coast cattle made up a larger proportion than usual, and included in drafts from that ? quarter were some young cattle, Black Polls, which attracted much attention and sold really well.
