H. MATSON & CO CHRISTCHURCH. FAT CATTLE! THAT SHEEP! AT CATTLEi J- AT SHEEP! TO OUR WEST COAST FRIENDS—WE DESIRE TO CALL YOUR LPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE EXTRAORDINARY CONDITIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN P&DUGHT ABOUT IN THE CANTERBURSHEEP 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 tho autumn rvins which were reasonably to be expected and in consequence there is a great dearth of feed. Hard frosts are now prevailing hero and it is obvious that it will be a da tier of tho greatest difficulty to Canterbury farmers to have fat stock tc supply our markets during whiter. CANTERBURY’S MISFORTUNE ...is surely... YOUR OPPORTUNITY. We have confidence in recommending West Coast producers to consign their fiii; stock, both Cattle and Sheep, and this market during the coming winter months. Supplies here will be short •tnd the demand considerable, especially in view of the fact that the pressure of factory spc.ee has now been relieved.
