H. MATSON & CO CHRISTCHURCH. PAT CATTLE I 'I7IAT SHEEP l AT CATTLE I J- AT SHEEP! TO OUR WEST COAST FRIENDS—WE DESIRE TO CALL YOUR SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE EXTRAORDINARY CONDITIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN BROUGHT ABOUT IN THE CANTERBURSHEEP MARKETS BY REASON 01’ SHORTAGE OF FACTORY SPACE AND CONTINUED DRY WEATHER, ESPECIALLY THE 1 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\ins 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 be a matter of the greatest difficulty to Canterbury farmers to have fat stock tc 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!us market during the coming winter months. Supplies here will be short aDd 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 3Tt I Upon receipt of instructions we shall be glad to order trucks to load at Arthur’s Pass, and where desired we can arrange to take delivery of shee or arrival of the train at Otira. Owing to limited railway facilities it is wise to give as as much notice as possible of your requirements of trucks to load at Artnur'a Pass. Clients may rely upon us insuring that there will be no hitches or misunderstandings.
