iH. MATSON & CO CHRISTCHURCH. FAT CATTLE! T7UT SHEEP! AT CATTLE! AT SHEEP! TO OCR WEST COAST FRIENDS—WE DESIRE TO CALL YOUR, SPECIAL ATTENTION TQ THE EXTRAORDINARY CONDITIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN BROUGHT ABOUT IN THE GANTERBURSHEEP MARKETS BY REASON OR SHORTAGE OF FACTORY SPACE AND CONTINUED DRY i WEATHER, ESPECIALLY THE latter. Farmers hero have in many cases been unable to fatten their stock, and there has been no feed. Canterbury has not enjoyed the »nsnmn T’.ina which were reasonably to bo expected . and in consequence there is a great dearth pf 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 OPPORTUNITY. We have confidence in recommending West Coast producers to consign their fat stock, both Cattle and Sheep, and ) t!as market during the coming winter > months. Supplies here will he short ’ and the demand considerable, especially in view of the fact that the pressure , of factory space has now been relieved. 1 HERE IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY DO NOT MISS 3TI I Upon receipt of instructions wo shall - be glad to order trucks to Ipad ot > Arthur’s Pass, and where desired we ; caa nrrange to tpke delivery of shee L oi: arrival of the train at Otira.
