Probably the real reason for the Ger- man retirement was the fact that it was becoming irapossible to keep their men longer under the merciless havoc wrought by the British guns. What this was like is beyond even the com- prehension of an outsider and utterly' beyond description by those who have witeissed it. When the British ad- vanced it was found that the ground behind the German first line had been SO ploughed up with shell fire that it was well nigh impassable. For days at a time the British gun fire had made it impossible for any man to reach cr leave the trenches. The com- munication trenches by which ammun- ition, and food are brought up were obliterated and prisoners taken said that they had been cut off from food or reinforcements of any kind for over 48 hours and frimdreds of German dead covered the ground. Parties; of 40 and more Oen:aims were taken prisoners • by patrols of no more :than half a dozen British. The nerve of the men had gone, the strain had proved more than any human could endure, and now that the strength of the Allies has bee come such that no matter where the enemy enrench they will meet a like fate, Von Hindenburg will have to hurry if his Russian campaign is to avail him any. American ships are still imareted. The authority to accomplish this, ask- ed by President Wilson, was denied him by a few obstructionists in the dying hours of the life of Congress, which automatically expired en Sat- urday night, although an overwhelm- ing majority of the Senate wire in favor of passing the measure. Th only way now open to the President is to call an 'extra session by which the needed authority can be grantee and it is expected this is the course he svill take. In the meantime a closure *or is being fraraecl so that similar obstruction tactics can not be made use of a xecond time • • PERTH NOTES. -Mr. George Evans, of MeKillop, has sold his 50 acre farm and has since purchased from Mr. R.

Montreal, March 6th. -At the west end stock yards, the receipts of live stock for the week ending March 3rd, were 900 cattle, 100 sheep and lambs, 3000 hogs and 700 calves, while the ofeerings on the inarket this morning for sale amounted to 400 cattle, 50 sheep and lambs, 1700 hogs and 200 calves. A firm feeling prevailed in the market for cattle, but there was o important change in prices'. Good o choice steers sold as high as $10.50 and $11. Fairly good stock sold at $8.50 to $10 per cwt. At the latter end of last week a sale of a pair of fancy milch cows was made at $325, but the market of late has been over- stocked with the ordinary grades. Hog prices scored an advance of 25 to 35c per cwt., which was attributed prin- cipally to the strength displayed in the situation at other Canadian een- tres at the latter end of last week. An active trade was •done, with sales of selected lots at $15.50 to $15.85, and a few odd small lots selling as 5. 11 high as $16, while sows brought 135 to $13.85, and stags $7.75 to $7.8 per cwt., -weighed off cars.

Union Stoat Yards, Toronto, March 6. -Values for all grades of butcher (late declined 15e to 20e this morn- ing. The ceering was quite moder- ate for a Monday, but trade opened drill in consequence of the buyers seeking to pull down prices, and an effort on the part of the drovers to secure higher values. The buyers won out in the end, but even af prices had been cut the market eon,. tinued slow. About the only grades of cattle which met an active and steady to stronger trade were canners and best cows and bulls. The best among the bulls sold from $10 to 10.25 with two or three extra fancy cattle cashing in at $10,50 and one at $10.75. There were also a few choice cows which sold at $1.0.25.to $10.50, but the general quotations for the pick ranged from $9.50 to $10, with a limited num- ber at the latter price.

Loads and part loads of choice butcher Cattle sold from $10.25 to $10.50, and a few a little more choice from $10.60 to 10.75. Good butcher cattle sold from $9.75 to $10.10. The cattle most af fected by this morning's cut in values ' were the -medium to common grade - killers, but when the market closed • all kinds of cattle were included among !the left -overs, and, judging from the signs apparent today, buyers are out to take a little more off before the week is over. Milkers and Springers I held to steady values between $75 and $110, but the demand this morning was weak. Stockers and feeders also , were a slow trade, the former selling from $6.25 to $8.50, and a few for- ward feeders from $9 to $10. Sheep land lambs were steady, but quotations for all kind of calves eased off a trifle. Hogs, a light offering for a Tuesday, sold at last week's prices of $15.15 fed and watered and 15.50 weighed off ears but Lo. b. prices were cut in several cases this morning to $14.25.
