Soldiers information.

Chicago, June 11-All reports OF cas-
ualties among the American soldiers in
France, of missing men. and Of Ameri-
can prisoners in German camps are to
be made thru the Red Cross. Announce
ment was received in Chicago from the
national headquarters in washington
that the Red Cross bureau Of informa-
ton OF casualties had been organized.
It will furnish information to relatives
Of soldiers Immediately after all bat
ties.
W. r Castle, Jr., Of washington has
been made director. The central office
will be in Washington, where will be
kept card catalogues of prisoners and
Of all Americans killed, wounded or
missing. Information will be dissem-
mated thru the various local chapters

tiers.

Chicago, June 12.-Hog prices were
helped somewhat by the fact that ar
rivals were less numerous than were
expected. On lie other hand the gen.
eral quality of offerings was poor. Best
sold higher but common grades were
lower.
Eleven markets received 100000 hogs
Monday, or 1900 less than last Mon
day, $500 less than year ago and
1900 less than two years ago. Total

less than same period 1915 and l41.O0O
more than corresponding time 1915.
Cattle.
Cattle did not seem oVerplentiful and
the market was firm.
Shortage of cattle, even of the right
choice grades, expected to develop in
mid-June, is now long ways off, II
present generous runs Of good quality
beeves can be taken as an indication
Of available supplies. Weeks ago. when
the market was crowded with a larger
quota of light cattle and yearlings than
now, the trade believed those supplies
were a drain on the future, but subse-
auent movement has developed diff
ferent opinion among market operators.
1t now appears that supplies are gong
to run in moderate numbers for weeks
ahead and the trade will only need
sustenance Of current good beef trade
action to afford continued strong prices.
Beef action in the east was strongly
suggestive Of broad outlet New York
prices for carcasses were reported 2eG
so cents higher than late last week
while Boston and Philadelphia markets
were also higher.
Sheep.
Sheep were in moderate supply and
the market held strong.

Masonic Temple: Phone 1881
Chicago, June 12-Wheat-There was
said to be better demand for cash
wheat and as the little volume OF trade
now coming into that cereal is largely
by cash houses, prices were firmer.
New York reported that Texas points
were selling new wheat at premium
of 40 cents per bushel, as against 70
cents over July, which has been pre-
vailing for old wheat.
Corn-Weather for the most part was
favorable today, and scattered selling
caused a sharp break early. On the >un-
favorable weather forecast there was
considerable buying by local bulls and
by houses with eastern connections,
(which made bulge to around yester-
days best prices. Heavy profit taking
ron this bulge gave the market an easier
tone at the finish. Cash corn was not
weak att anytime receipts being only
moderate. Western points are offering
little corn for forward shipment and
while nosburdensome run Is expected,
ldf Is likely sthat there will be plenty
fof corn ITO supply commercial needs
thru, the,rest of the summer. Crop re-
Iports are generally favorable, the mod
crate loss .in lowiands being more than
offset by the fine condition in which
the ground has been put by the re-
cent good rains.
Oats-Oats followed the ups and
downs in corn. Cash houses sold early,
but their offerings were well taken by
brokers that usually act for the sea-
board. Crop news leaves nothing to be
desired.

AEROPLANE THE ANSWER.
Peary Says 1000 Airpianes Best Check
to Subs,

Washington, June 12.-Rear Admiral
Robert z. Peary told a subcommittee
of the senate military committee today
that the aeroplane was the cheapest
and quickest answer to the submarine
and that If 1000 airplanes were sent
abroad they would do more to curb
the submarine menace than anything
else that could be done. with the
same concentration of efforts that Won
Tirpitz eXerted to develop the subma-
rine in Germany l think we will have
an answer to the submarine and
quick decision Of the war" he declared.
Admiral Peary appeared in support
of the bill to establish a department
Of aeronautics, with a place in the
cabinet. The general opinion Of ex-
perts, ne said was that the war will
be decided in the air and that soon
airplanes will be fighting in brigades
Of from 300 to 1000 flyers.
