It is anticipated that during tho next few days many changes will_ take place. Tho New Zealand Farmers' Co-op. again displaced the Pictures candidate. Tho Combined Factories are evidently working together better. Their daily total is showing decided improvement. Although Halswell has not made much impression yet, they aro well within striking distance, and should tsoon improve their position. No returns havo yet come to hand from tho Peninsula. The only votes recorded are for tho sale of tickets in town.
