H. MATSON & CO CHRISTCHURCH. Fat cattle i tjiat sheep i AT CATTLE! J- AT SHEEP! 3 .. ¥ r TO OUE WEST COAST FRIENDS—WE DESHIE TO CALL YOUli 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 DllY WEATHER, ESPECIALLY THE 1 LATTER. , Farmers here have in many cases been unable to fatten their stock, 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 be 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. We have confidence in recommending West 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 has now been relieved. , HERE IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY; DO NOT MISS IT! ! Upon receipt of instructions we shall be glad to order trucks to load yi Arthur’s Pass, and where desired 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 mu-, .1 u possible of your requirements of trucks to load at Artuur's Pass. Clients may rely upon us insuring that there will bo no hitches or misunderstandings.
