H. MATSON & CO CHRISTCHURCH. Fat cattle i ttiat sheep i AT CATTLE! A AT SHEEP! ! TO OCR WEST COAST FRIENDS—WE DESIRE TO CALL YOUR I SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE' , EXTRAORDINARY CONDITIONS ; WHICH HAVE BEEN BROUGHT ABOUT IN THE CANTKRBURSHEEP 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 rvihs which were leaßonably 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 a matter of the greatest difficulty to Canterbury farmers to have fat stock to supply our markets during winter. CANTERBURY'S MISFORTUNE ...is surely... ' YOUR OPPbIiTUNITY. We have confidence ih recommending 'West Coast producers to consign their fat stock, both Cattlfe and Sheep, and’ 'tins market during tlie coming winter months. Supplies here will be short and the demand considerable, especial: r ly in view of the fact that the pressure of factory space has now been relieved. ! HERE IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY DCP NOT MISS’ 3TI! ! Upon receipt of instructions we shall be glad to order trucks to load at Arthur’s Pass, and where desired we ca:i arrange to take delivery of shoe or arrival, of the train at Otira.
