Farmers here have in many cases been unable to fatten their stock, and there has been no feed, Canterbury has not enjoyed the autumn run* which were reasonably 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 he a matter of the greatest difficulty to Canterbury farmers to have fat stock to supply our markets during winter. CANTERBURY’S MISFORTUNE 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 hero will be short and the demand considerable, especially in view of the fact that the pressure of factory space has now been relieved.
