H. MATSON & CO CHRISTCHURCH. Fat cattle i ttiat sheepi AT CATTLE! AT SHEEP! TO QJR WEST COAST FRIENDS—WE DESIRE TO CALL YOUR GPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE EXTRAORDINARY, CONDITIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN DROUGHT ABOUT IN THE OANTERBURSHEEP MARKET’S BY REASON OF SHORTAGE OF FACTOitY 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 r-.inß which were leasouably 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 tr> 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 tins market during the coming winter 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 .relieved. HERE IS YOIPR OPPORTUNITY. DO NOT MISS ST* I (Jpon 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 she© or arrival of the train at Otira. twin" to limited railway facilities it is wise to give as as much notice as possible of your requirements of trucks to load at Arthur's Pass.
