H. MATSON & GO CHRISTCHURCH. FAT CATTLE! 171 AT SHEEP! AT CATTLE! X AT SHEEP!

TO OUlt WEST COAST FRIENDS—WE DESHIE TO CALL YOUR SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE EXTRAORDINARY CONDITIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN BROUGHT ABOUT IN THE CANTERBURY SHEEP MARKETS BY REASON OF SHORTAGE OF FACTORY SPACE AND CONTINUED DRY WEATHER, ESPECIALLY., THE LATTER. I* armors here have in many cases been unable to fatteii their stock, as there has been no feed. Canterbury has not enjoyed the autumn rains which were reasonably to be expected, and in consequence there is a great dearth of feed. Hard frosts are now prevailing here, and it is obvious that it will bo a matter of the greatest difficulty for Canterbury farmers to have fat stock to supply our markets during winter. CANTERBURY’S MISFORTUNE ...is surely... YOUR OPPORTUNITY. V e have confidence in recommending V est Coast producers to consign their fat stock, both Cattle and Sheep, to this market during the coming winter months. Supplies here will bo short and the demand considerable, especially in view of the fact that the pressure of factory space lias now been relieved. HERE IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY; DO NOT MISS IT! ! Upon receipt of instructions 'we shall bo glad to order trucks to load at Arthur’s Pass, aiid where desired we can arrange to take delivery of sheep on arrival of the train at Otira. Owing to limited railway facilities it is wise to give as much notice . possible of your requirements of tracks to load at Artnur's Pass. Clients may rely upon us insuring that there will be no hitches or misunderstandings.
