H. MATSON & CO CHRISTCHURCH. IjUT CATTLE! XfUT SHEEP! • AT CATTLE! AT SHEEP!

TO OUR WEST COAST FRIENDS—WE DESIRE TO CALL YOUR SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE EXTRAORDINARY CONDITIONS AVHICH HAVE BEEN THOUGHT ABOUT IN THE CANTERBURY SHEEP MARKETS BY REASON 01’ SHORTAGE OF FACTORY SPACE 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 be ' matter of the greatest difficulty Canterbury fanners to have fat ck to supply our markets during winter. I! CANTERBURY’S MISFORTUKE j ...is surely... YOUR OPPORTUNITY. We have confidence'in recommending West Coast producers to consign tliai fat stock, both Cattle and Sheep, this market during the coming w>n months. Supplies .here will be short and + he demand considerable, especia 1 ly in view of the fact that the pressure of factory space has now been relieved. HERE IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY DO NOT MISS IT! I Upon receipt of instjf.ctions we shall be glad to order trucks to load Arthur’s Pass, and where desired car arrange to take delivery of shee or arrival of the train at Otira. Owing to limited railway facilities .t is wise to give as i possible of your requirements ol trucks to load at Artuur's Pass. Clients may rely upon us insuring that there will be no hitches or misunderstandings.
