Buyers ' who require can satiate their wants upon their basis of judgment and their limits, and if they find they cannot compete or get their share, THEY MUST HOIST THEIR PRICES, OR FALL OUT. At present the idea seems to permeate the Flying Squadron that by .their methods they keep down prioes by private purchases and •withholding their competition from open market. NEVER SELL TO ANY BUT THE HIGHEST BIDDER IN • OPEN MARKET. • Consign all stock for the Metropolitan Market— "MATSON'S,' ADDINGTON." Consign all wool— "MATSON'S, ADDINGTON." Consign all Skins, Hides, and Fat— : , "MATSON'S, CHRISTCHURCH." Address all correspondence t<» ; "MATSON'S, CHRISTCHURCH.'"
