TO JuR WEST COAST PRIENDS—WE DESIRE TO CALL YOUR SPECIAL attention to the EXTRAORDINARY CONDITIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN THOUGHT ABOUT IN THE CANTERBURY SHEEP MARKETS BY REASON OP SHORTAGE OF FACTORY SPACE AND CONTINUED DRY WEATHER, ESPECIALLY THE LATTER, Farmers here have iu many eases been unable to fatten their stock, and there has been no feed. Canterbury has not enjoyed the autumn rains which were reasonably to be expected, and iu consequence there is a great dearth of feed. Hard frdstß are now prevailing here and it is obvious that it will be a matter of the greatest difficulty to Canterbury farmers to have fat stock tn 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, and tliis market during the coming winter inonths.
