AUCTIONS. H. MATSON AND CO. WHAT WILL HELP WJIAT WILL HELP WHAT WILL HELP THE MAN ON THE LAND THE MAN UN THE LAND THE MAN ON THE LAND TO-DAY ; TO-DAY ( TO DAY : HE is fuced willi iiilcro.it on mortgage, laud tax, local rates, insurance, living expenses, educational expenses, and sundries. All land holders are hard put to it to provide to meet the above responsibilities, in many cases the need for borrowing had been increased, and the more it increased the heavier became the burden, and the lower the margin of profit. Added to this was tiie extraordinary slump in values that had wiped oil all margin of profit whatever. WHAT ES THE OL'liE! THE CURE IS ECONOMY. HOW CAN IT BE BIJOCGIIT ABOUT? LARGELY BY CONSIDERING OTHEKS. The various M-etions who are buyers lor our various commodities load up their charges 011 the local community of sellers and demand from them a state of efficiency and a volume of responsibilities that should be carried by tii«» buyer and not by the seller. Tlic seller tshould endeavour to 'give tho buyer his money's worth m the article and in the manner in which ho transfers it to him. The iceling ot humanity us man to man lias to exist and has to bo established, uud wo are afraid that during the recent years in many instances it has been overlooked. Sections have become rich, sections have become poor, interests have beeonio inflated, and interests have been doflated, but every day tlicro are opportunities whero consideration totild bo extended to ono another, that would reflect the benefit on all methods of tradin-,'. Undoubtedly thoy are out of focus today. Tho buyer is exacting and his demands arc adamant in requiring concessions where in many cases such demands can only result jtt increasing the handling charges that can only bo increased at the expense of the grower. A kind attitude daily from those in tho City and from the foreign buyers who visit our shores, whether for meat, wool or dairy produce, will do more to tho man on the land and those who handle his commodity. The th-st step in the direction of consideration is "to abolish a lot of the restrictions and a lot of the detail work that i« landed on to tho different sections to-day, and which materially affect the increased cost of handling. LIVE STOCK —SMEEP, CATTLE. AND TIGb. Take for instance the übovc, the detail, handling, and classing of all these sections, and why-~~because most of them represent the tops and tho tails of the different Hocks and herds that ore not required, under the heading Of pool purchasing, and as they have to largely dopend on the purchasing of the City tradesmen it necessitates extreme classification, incurring Increased labour. The bulk and the cream of tho country flow into the pools that desire to acquire the various commodities for the Old World. LIKE THE MAN OS'THE LAND who is the farmer and the wool king, H, MATSON and CO. go on hoping. We are a private firm whose sole interests »re in this colony, particularly in this district in which we live, and (here are many and certain advantages In connexion wtih supporting a private firm such as ours. We make it our duty to know our clients individually and no matter how large or small their transactions may be we devote personal and direct attention In superintending and advantageously carrying out the realisations of all sales entrusted to out care. Our firm is a private firm. Its origin dates back to the .'sixties, and It has been responsible for advancing the pioneer effort* of the early days and opening np the pathways for advantageous realisation tri the settlers and producer* of the Canterbury plains. Times are hard—everybody tells us so. but don't we know it. and we will be very grateful for all business to our care. We, like the farmer, nuvp to paddle our own canoe—the farmer with what he cau produce from his farm, and H. MATSON and CO. with what they can produce from their business. Gentlemen, thtM' is a link of fc-ood fellowship between those two parties, and if there is not, there should be. If you have free business why pot entrust it to u*l Our salesmen are efficient young teen who have pown up in the trade, and •we piy cash ana deceive cash on the day of sale. If you have farms for sale, let ns know. If you haveproduce Of any kind, wool, skins, hide*,' seed*, cere#!*, etc.. consign it to • HAfSOXS," ADDINGTON. The following • commodities are grouped, and, if not, they Me Bubject to a (Ist rate from time-to time —Meat, grain, cheese, butter, etc, Canterbury was never so prosperout as when each centre had its own local factories, and eontd sell with freedom ativ product it produced to the many travelling purchasers representing the Old World, and who' visited ear shores annually. That r.-as whoti thi grower was nmkln«t money, Movements are always in evidence, and the immediate future will be responsible for interference with wool, such items— Average wool prices. Heavier wool bales, Wool allocation. Dlffttesea In wool iiack*. Woo! publicity, Seduced charge*, ♦XsffleJ of buyer*, are all items that are likely be brougb;iij> tail forced upon thk growers of New Zealand; It they do not look out. Now, is the fair dlnkiim supporter of the local wool sales responsible for such movemeats t We do not think so. ■We think for tho meet Mrt It is professional men who »r* not satisfied with their own builnessoß, bul are making a big elf (Mrt on the plea of. improving the conditions for the grower, and we ar) satisfied that the moro interference vifth the world's-market prices the worse it » ill be tor our individual grower, . Ab H. MATSON eud 00, \v<t( the first firm in Canterbury to offer a catalogue and •ell wool by suction,, wo feel justified in advising farmers to keep as Tree a hand as thev can in the persons) control of their goods, and be satisfied to so'l theai 'St their own centre, thereby maintaining a market at their own door comparatively at OM World rates. H. MATSON and CO. • THE SPIRIT. TO EMULATE. Foresight is a Ood-.given gift, efficiency in and o coiubio&tiou of tfrGnJ makes for success in any line of business, but in none More so than farming-. The joy of accomplishment i» a rich reward for strenuous endeavour, and it is doubtfull f there can be any better example of this than the feelings of the man who has converted bush into highly productive farming laud There oto many instances of this having been done. Ten years ago an unsightly holding was a tush eWamp, partly bu*nt find part of it milling timber. The ' owner put a eawmill on the corner, and every stick on the section, including the roots, was turned Into lard cash, even ti>a sawdust found a market. The draining Knd cultivation have b«en done In • way which clearly points to 1 master band; now some Of the best Jersey cattle in New Zetland are literally living in clover on what for half a century had been looked on as irreclaimable swamp.
