TO OUR WEST COAST FRIENDS—WE DESIRE TO CALL YOUR SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE EXTRAORDINARY CONDITIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN BROUGHT ABOUT IN THE CANTERBURY SHEEP MARKETS BY REASON OF SHORTAGE OF FACTORYSPACE AND CONTINUED DRY WEATHER, ESPECIALLY THE LATTER. Farmers here have in many cas been unable to fatten their stock, there has been no feed. Canterbu 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 matter of the greatest difficulty for Canterbury farmers to have fat ck to supply our markets during winter. CANTERBURY’S MISFORTUNE ...is surely... YOUR OPPORTUNITY. We have confidence in recommending West Coast producers to consign thei fat stock, both Cattle and Sheep, to this market during the coming win monthß. Supplies here will be short and the demand considerable, especia I ly 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 instigations we shall be glad to order trucks to load Arthur’s Pass, and where desired can arrange to take delivery of slice or arrival of the train at Otira. Owing to limited railway facilities it is wise to give ns mu. a possible of your requirements of trucks to load at Artnur's Pass. Clients may rely upon us insuring that there will be no hitches or misunderstandings.
