H. MATSON & CO CH RIOTCHURCH. PAT CATTLE! T7IAT SHEEP! AT CATTLE! AT SHEEP!

TO OJR WEST COAST FRIENDS-* WE DESIRE TO CALL YOUR SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE EXTRAORDINARY CONDITIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN BROUGHT ABOUT IN THE CANTERBURY SHEEP MARKETS BY REASON OF SHORTAGE OF FACTORY SPACE AND CONTINUED DRY WEATHER, ESPECIALLY THE LATTER. Farmers here have iu many cases been unable to fatten their stock, and there has been no feed. Canterbury has not enjoyed the autumn runs which were reasonably to bo expected and in consequence there is a great dearth of feed. I Hard frosts are now prevailing fier o 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 this mark et during the coming winter months. Supplies here will be short and the demand considerable, especially in view of tbe fact that the pressure of factory spnce has now been relieved. HERE IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY DO NOT MISS DTI I Jpon receipt of instructions vro. shall be glad to order trucks to load at Arthur’s pass, and where desired we can arrange to take delivery of saee or arrival of the train at Otira. Cwing to limited railway facilities it is wise to give as as much notice as possible of your requirements of tracks to load at Artnur's Pass.
