H. MATSON & CO CHRISTCHURCH. Fat sheep i AT SHEEP! Fat cattle i AT CATTLE!

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 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 r?.ina 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 tr supply our markets during winter. CANTERBURY’S MISFORTUNE

...is surely... YOUR OPPORTUNITY. We have confidence in recommending West Coast producers to consign their ftii 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 your opportunity DO NOT MISS STI ! Upon receipt of instructions we shall be glad to order trucks to load at Arthur’s Pass, and where we ca:i arrange to take delivery of shee oc arrival of the train at Otira.

Clients may rely upon us insuring that there will be no hitches or misunderstandings.
