H. MATSON & CO CHRISTCHURCH. Fat cattle i ttiat sheep i AT CATTLE! AT SHEEP 1 TO OCR WEST COAST FRIENDS—WE DESIRE TO CALL YOUR SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE EXTRAORDINARY CONDITIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN DROUGHT ABOUT IN THE CANTERBURY SHEEP 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 rvina which were leasouably to be expected and in consequence there iB 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 l 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!ai 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 YOUR OPPORTUNITY DO NOT MISS 3TI I Upon receipt of instructions we shall be glad to crdor trucks to load at Arthur’s Pass, and where desired we caa 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 Artnur's Pass. Clients may rely upon us insuring that there will be no hitches or misunderstandings. ■
