Matson* Co.s ,"; CANTERBURY WOOL STORES, "THE WOOL HOUSE, ■Which, for over Twenty Years, has pereifltentiy advocated the . .DISPOSAL OF THE NEW ZEALAND CLIP BY AUCTION • IK THE "LOCAL MARKET," 'ThUß Enabling the Grower to find a "CASH SETTLEMENT " Within the Colony Tot hia sears labor, caret;»nd anxiety, T THE WOOL-GROWERS, MERCHANTS, AND THE TRADE. Gentlemen.-At the approach of another wool <eaaon we take this opportunity of again addressing you, and, upon Oms"occasion, .o conEatnlate you upon UrtTundoubUsd success of it year's sales in our local market, and to thank those who aided and assisted in bnnsring about such an unqualified success as attended the sales of 1886-1887. It must indeed be a cheerful consolation to every farmer to knew that at last New Zealand is fast becoming one nfthe most important, and shortly will be one of the "CHIEF EMPORIUMS" tor the sale of wools in the Australasias. Thus eettoJgan end to the necessity of the producer fas in the past) becomins a shipper, exporter. or merchant, and fulfilling hia destiny, by enabling him to " HANDLE THE CASH ON THE SPOT," and thus know his success or iailure for his year's labor. Our advocacy ia, and has always been the accumulating of LARGE CATALOGUES OF WOOL," thereby enticing buyers from all parts of the world, through agents or otherwise, for we Btill hold to the belief, -THAT WHERE THE CARCASE IS, SO SURELY THE EAGLE WILL SHORTLY QUAMBY. We have no intention to weary our friends With a long description of the facilities at our disposal for their especial benefit, suffice it to cay that the same accommodation and specialities pertaining to our Wool business of last season, which our friends were good enough to appreciate by entries in catalogues of greater dimensions than upon any preceding occasion, iire at your disposal this season. Without vanity, we re-echo the oft-repeated sentiment nt the trado,'"No question about it, these are far and away the most suitable and best lighted WoolKoom3 in Canterbury." Well, gentlemen, aa witii the Wool Rooms, so with the system adopted in the get np ot the Sales. We make a rule to spare no trouble in seeing that each bag or bale' bos its fair position, and that every opportunity for inspection and valuation is afforded. As resident Brokers and Salesmen of long standing, in fact one of the first firms who established Wool Sales in Canterbury, we claim c as our duty to our clients and the trade gene'■ally to most earnestly counsel them upon no consideration to repeat the persistent errors of the past in foolishly packing 'under ono cover" several kinds of wool. Such as bale number so-and-so contains iso-and-so, or, as in many instances, no advice as h> peculiarity of contents, and when subsequently examined by buyer the lot is reJected uiidor the "safety valve " of clause re false packing. Wool bales and bags are cheap . enough, surely.'- Then why nor. expend an extra penny and; savo pounds ? These remarks tefer equally to daggings and coarse breechInge. No article of produce is so sensit : ve to the *-' market touch "as wool. The wool: ayer (a! the most artistic and wary of purchasers; he Is at once the most confidential or suspicious -"Cretkt-we-Hi -trade, and nightly so to. Noted brands will always command the of the woel-buyer, but in case of stray, ill-gotuplines, wherein at times-are to be found all sorts and conditions or fleeces, now and then daggings, a Eheep-skin or two, &c, these suffer mercilessly In that hands pt the trade. Wnereas, had the consignment been carefully "gone over" in - 'owner's shed,".ami placed, in seDarate parcels, -. Bafch. kiotd ot wool by itself, never mind how tnnfil aj bulk, the seller vould be a very large """gainer. -Jta no lOther calling is " negligence or «g\rejeß3nesß" so "severely punished " as in the case ot wool; perhaps the infliction is notat the time perceptible, but the unwary producer soon .findsWβ pockot lighter than that of his more . diecteetVneighbour. Query—Why throw away money when it can be so easily saved ? With regard to charges, these" are reduced ■to the lowest, and are upon the same scale as other houses. No charge is made for cartage tram rail to our well lighted stores. This is a great boon, which we, with pleasure, give to our clients. Viewing the outlook of the Wool Market we Can, with every confidence, advise ou-r friends and the public generally to try the Local Market this season before rashly sending forward by sea. Habit is, like opium eating, very - hard to overcome, but in wool producing the producer should have ""two shots for his money.' There is no necessity to place in Store the whole clip. Send sample bales of each class, which system was introduced by a most valued" client some few years since, and emulated by many both of the Plains and Peninsula, and has invariably resulted in equal satisfaction. Large Catalogues, produced from the various Brokers doing business in Canterbury, is the only bait to attract our worthy French and Foreign Buyers who frequent Menzies' Hotel, and have their "cards placed upon the seate in the various Melbourao Wool Rooms. ■■s Why not try tils New Zealand to remain in the background for evert In troubling you with these remarks we do so in the interests of tnany wool growers, who, from habit in the good prices or the past, have become careless, and the taste of adversity of late should act as en incentive to use every care and caution in the " get np" of the clips, to seenre all the advantages of the rise. *' Collar every dollar" is an old but very true saying. Values ia wool are* made or marred by care or carelessness. Weaak the pardon of some growers for thus, as it were, again it in,' but having the experience of lengthened years as salesmen, and our position allowing us to view both sides of the question, we take the liberty in growers' Interests, as well as in the general interests of theteado, to press upon the owners of wool especially the two to twenty bale lots, the necessity to insist upon careful sorting. "Nothing is more attractive to the eye of an expert than c nice, even, well-classed line of wool, be it eitherjnerino, hulfbred, or crossbred." 6btain the attraction and you secure the price. In conclusion, we may state that, failing a sale in et equal to vendor's limits, we nfiftSSS unsurpassed to place your clips i'S^r&ffv 011 "FUfcet upon terms which cerJSSSL^ 111 SS" S^F"* olo comparison with any trade, not even excepting the ewatest Wool Houses in the world. -fc «i^S^ SE !H? nd in London thorom^ilT «ed« with your - OUR J\ -<" FIRST SALE OP TJqs SEASON TAKES PLACE Oif >"' NOVEMBER 18.
