Mr. S. W. WELCH, the deputy chairman, said,
although labouring under severe illness, he should

It only required the same means that had been

tend its usefulness in every way. There was

at heart the prosperity of the institution. Helbegged
to thank them for the confidence reposed in the di-
rect tors, and trusted that he might be spared some

the annual meeting. (Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution for the
re election of the retiring directors, Messrs. Daw-
son, Jepds, and Lintott, which was carried unani-
mou4 Iy.
Mr. JEPPS, on the part of his brother directors,
returned thanks. He said for one and twenty years
the retiring directors had always been re-elected
unanimously, and such he thought was a mark of
confidence which could not be surpassed. He felt
satisfied their institution was one which was not
surpassed by any other in the world. During the
time they hod been in existence many in-
stitutions had gone to the wall, but theirs remained
intact. (Cheers.)
The retiring auditors, Messrs. Lloyd, Woolley,
and Toole were re-elected.
Mr. WOOLLEY returned thanks.
A vote of thanks was proposed and unanimously
given to the secretary.
Mr. LINPonD, in returning thanks, said it was a
source of much pleasure, and even of some pride, to
him to see that during the eight years ho had held
the office of Secretary, the progress of the associa-
tion had been such as to gain the approval of the
Board as well as the members. (Cheers.) He
reviewed briefly the difference between their posi-
tion eight years since and now. In that period the
income had increased from £17,000 to £50,000,
Which he .had every hope would be the figure of their
text balance sheet, and the assets from £67,000 to
4170,000, and he believed they would soon be
nearly £200.0k90. He thanked the proposer
and seconder ea' the motion, and his kindfriend, the deputy chairman, for his handsome
allusion to his services, and he was sure Mr.
Welch would not have said so much unless he had
felt he was fairly entitled to it. (Cheers.) The
members could have no idea of the great difficulties
,
and the board had had to contend with in bring-
4ng the the board had had to contend with in bring.

the thanks of the members, and could say, from his

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET

To-day's market was scantily supplied with beasts as to
number, but their general quality was good. All breeds
moved off slowly, at barely Monday's decline in the quota-
tions. The extreme value of the best Scots and crosses was
4s 8d per 81bs. Sheep—the show of which was limited—
were very dull, and in some instances 2d per 81b lower.
The very best Downs, in the wool, sold at 5s 4d per 81bs.
The supply of calves being on the increase, the veal trade
was heavy, at 4d per 81b less money. Pigs and much cows
were very dull at late rates.

Per 81b, to sink the offal.
