H. MATSON & CO CHRISTCHURCH. Fat oattle ! AT CATTLE 1 Fat sheep i at SHEEP!

TO OUR WEST COAST WE DESIRE TO CALL YOUR SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE EXTRAORDINARY CONDITIONS WHICH HATE 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-dns 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 to supply our markets during wintei. CANTERBURY'S MISFORTUNE ...iB Burely... YOUR OPPORTUNITY. We have confidence in recommending West Coast producers to consign their fat stock, both Cattle and Sheep, and this market during the coining 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 1 Upon receipt of instructions wo shaU be glad to order trucks to load at Arthur’s Pass, and where desired we ca'i arrange to take delivery of snee on arrival of the train at Otira.
