H. MATSON & " CHRISTCHURCH. CO j Fat cattle i ttiat sheep i j AT CATTLE I AT SHEEP! ; TO OuTt WESI' COAST FRIENDS—WE DESIRE TO CALL YOUR SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE EXTRAORDINARY CONDITIONS - WHICH HAVE BEEN DROUGHT ABOUT IN THE CANTERBURY SHEEP MARKETS BY REASON OF SHORTAGE OF ' FACTORY SPACE AND CONTINUED DRY WEATHER, ESPECIALLY THE latter. Farmers here have in many cases been unable To fatten their stock,, and J there has been no feed. Canterbury has not enjoyed the autumn rains which were leasonably to be expected, and in consequence there is a great dearth of feed. Hard frosts ate nciw prevailing here and it is obvious that iT will be a matter of tile greatest difficulty to 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, and. this market during the coming wihtei months. Supplies here will be short and the demand considerable, especially in view of the fact that the pressure of factory space has now been velieved. HERE IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY bo n6t Mi&s Ti: Upon receipt of instructions we shaT be glad to order trucks to load at Arthur’s Pass, and where desired we cai arrange to take delivery of sliee or arrival of the train at Otira. Owing to limited railway facilitie it is wise to give as as much notice a £ possible of your requirements of truck to load at Artnur's Pass. Clients ma; rely upon us insuring that there wil be no hitches or misunderstandings.
