H. MATSON & CO CHRISTCHURCH. FAT CATTLE! T7IAT SHEEP! AT CATTLE! A AT SHEEP! TO OUR WEST COAST FRIENDS—WE DESIRE TO CALL YOOR SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE EXTRAORDINARY CONDITIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN DROUGHT ABOUT IN THE CANTERBUR. 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 there has been no feed. Canterbury has not enjoyed the autumn rvins which were leasonably to be expected and in consequence there is a threat dearth of feed. Hard frosts are now prevailing here and it is obvious that it will be a natter of the greatest difficulty to Canterbury farmers to have fat stock to supply our markets during winter. CANTERBURY'S MISFORTUNE ...is Burely... 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 winter mouths. Supplies here will be short and the demand considerable, especially in view of the feet that the pressure of factory spr.ee has now been relieved. HERE IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY DO NOT MISS ]TI I Upon receipt of instructions we shall be glad to order trucks to lord at Arthur’s Pass, and where desired vv.e cai arrange to take delivery of shee or arrival of the train at Otira.
