; THE WAR SITUATION, '
., The-outstandiegIe.attiee of the _war
Situation this week is the definite and
final vrithdrawal of -the Russian armies
from the war. Although the peace
,
conference between Germany and the
Bolshevild gem -ern -merit have come to
naught, and no Peace treaty- has been
eigned, nevertheless Russia will not
continue the ever against GernmuY
and- Aristide, and immediate steps' will
be taken to demobolize the army on.
all fronts and the soldiers will be -re-
turned, to the interior of the country.
While Russia has' peactically been out
of the war fer some months, the de-
mobolization of the army will not help
the Allied cause any, as it will release
the German -troops in the east for sere
vice on the western front, and the re-
lease .of a million and a half enemy
prisoners will also be to their benefit.
Fortunately, however, for the Allies;
practically all these prisoners are
Austrians, very few German prisoners
having been captured by the Russians,
and the Austrians will not be kvail-
I
able for Western front *rations, as
Austria needs all the men she ceei get
' And, more far her operations on 'the
. Italian and other fronts. In any ease
these prisoners, wheth.er German or
Austria -le will be of very small mili-
tary value to anyone for months to'
come, as the Russians, unable to feed_
. their own soldiers, have certainly not
improved the health of their captiveii.
, . ,
Taken all together the situation from
the • Allied standpoint, is not as- bad
as it appears on. the face. It is true
thet the withdrawal of the 'Russians
froin the fight may furnisr new so-urc-
es of food supplies for Germany and
her allies, but there are many factors
to detract from this advantage. For
one thing- the Russian transportation
system is an absolute chaos made so
mostly by German agents in Russia,
early in the war, so as to undermine.
the fighting power elf the Russian
army, becauee an arm-- cannot exist
without food; and other supplies. Now
the -he is on. the ether foot, it is the
' German armies that need the -trans-
portation and there is none, and with-
out transportation how is Germany to
get wheat and other food stuffs out of
: Russia when the best wheat regions
1 ' which may be opened to the Germans
aze ima remote section, and in such
poor condition that the agricultural
system will have te be made :over
which will be a mighty difficult process
with. the confusion that prevails in
the country. Moreover, without a
formal peace treaty, even although
Russia is demobolized, it will not be ,
safe for the Germans and Austrians
to wholly -withdraw from the Eastern
-front. There will be a constant threat
of renewed hostilities and the Ger-
mans will have to see to it that an
ample" force is always on hand. The
situation uudoubtedly favors Germany_
but it is decidedlyenot a knockout blow'
to the Allies. ' .
On the Western front, camparative
quiet still reigns, but with the recent
gbodeweather and the drying up of
the ground, hostilities on a large scale
will not likely be delayed very long.
Recent reports claim a big German
offensivele due early in March. Per-
haps_ so. It is equally withih the
bounds of -possibility that i Beitieh
and French drive in imminent and the
odds are eentainly on the side of the
Allies at the present time, and amplee
measures are being made to have them
remain so in the future.

on t e.market today -.were Ithe small-
est or some tnne. There was no im-
Poreant change in the condition of
the market - for cattle, but prices
were firmly maintained. The demand
'froth peckers .azid butchers was some-
what limited; as most of them seemed
to have ample supplies on, hand for
immediate requirements, and iut con-.
sequence were not -disposed. to oper-
ate freely. There • were no good to
choice steers or hefiers on the nmeket,
but there were a few loads- of fairly
good stock weighing on an average
1100 pounds, eaeh, andthey sold at
$11 . 50, and one or two loads, averag-
ihg
1000 lbs. each, at $10.75 per
100 pounds Choice heavy cows and
bulls Avere also scarce, and the supply
of canning stock 30115ils light. There was
no improvement in the deman't for
mil& cows and the tone of the met.-
ket WaS eases with prices quoted at
$80 to $140 according' to Size and
quality. The only important change in
the market for smalr meats was the
better feeling in sheep and prices score
ed. a' decline of 50e per 100 pounds,
which was attributed to the very lim-
ited demand on account -of the fact
that butchers in /nest cases had on
eland ample supplie4 of cold storage
stock to meet all requirements for the
time being. On the other hand the tone
of the market for Iambs was firm, and
price e were unchanged. In calves the
feeling was stronger and prices advan-
ced $1 per hundred pounds owing to
the good demand and the limited up -
ply. Sales of choice millafed -Stock
ere made as high as $15 to $16 per
cwt. A very fine' feeling prevailed in
the market for hogs. Sales of odd
small lets of selected:stock were made
at $19.50 to. $20 per cwt. weighed off

Union Stock Yards, Toronto, Feb.
12. --This morning's butcher cattle of-
fering was a recordsmall one for a
Monday market, fewer than 700 head
being in.the pens. The scarcity was at-
tributable both to transportation dif-
ficulties arising from the reeent win-
try wether and the special attention
the railwae companies are giving to
hauling- coah ft is not expected that
any cattle will be lifted today, and in
that case scarcely any- market is ex-
pectO tomorrow-. Trade today was on
lines similar to last week's, when 75e
was taken off butcher cattle values.
There was no competition en the part
of buyers, and while there might have
been 'a little more general activity
shown, prices ruled steady with • last
Thursday's close. Everything was
cleaned up with the exception of a
few very Door quality cattle The best
butcher cattle, and the number was
limited, cashed in from $10.75 to $11.t.
50, with an odd steer selling up to
e11.90. Seven extra choice baby beeves
of the kind sent ' for the Christmas
trade were purchased by Swift Cana-
dian at $14.25, but this was an excels;
tional deal. Best qualiee- fee cows
were scarce,- not more than half a
dozen selling over $9.50, but there was
a stromeere representation of choice
bulls, whkh cashed in frem. $10 to
$10.50. Several loads of stockers left
over from last week still lacked pur-
chasers owing to shipping difficulties.
There were no milkers or springers
o noffer. The lamb trade was a little
better than steady, a larger nunlber
of choice black faced lambs selling at
$19, but the general top range for
best was between $18.50 and $18.75.
Sheep were steady, and choice calves
steady to strong. Small meats gener-
ally were active, but some poorer ma-
terial was included in the offering.
Hog values.firmed 25e, fed and water,-
-ed hogs selling. it $19, and hogs weigh-
ed off ears at $19.25.
