MARKET STRONGER; LOSSES WIPED OUT
Early Profit Taking Turned to
 Upward Swing On Board

New York. July s LPy-A slight frming Of money rates prompted considerable profit taking on the stock market in the early transac- tions today, but the market strength ened by midday with vigorous bull ish operations in the investment rails and some of the specialties. Early losses were reduced as practically the entire list turned upward. A wide assortment of issues reached still higher record territory
 Call Money Per Cent
 Call money renewed at : per cent, unchanged from Friday. but soon rose to s as banks called loans, pre- sumably to meet mid-year settlement checks returning for collection, and to pay off borrowings at the fed eral reserve. which were heavily in- creased during the strain incident 10 the turn Of the half year. The under tone of time money was slightly firmer, but bankers aCCeptances moved readily, despite the recent cutting of rates.
 A tirmer tone in credit had been widely forecast for early this week, so it was not particularly disturbing. Bankers look for improved condi- tions before the end of the week. and expect them to be maintained Tor several weeks.
 A number of traders. however. re- garded the time as ripe for profit taking, owing to the sharp advances of recent weeks. which has carried several high priced issues up from 30 10 100 points since early June, and the consequent weakened tech nical position.
 There was little in the days news to influence the market, although the news coming to hand was gen. erally favora ble, including more June sales reports and few first half earnings statements. Nash Mo- tors reported earnings for the first half equal to s4.25 per share, as compared to s1.96 in the cores bonding period of 1928.

 sent up 15 points to 200, a new peak and Nickel Plate, New York Central and Norfolk and Western mounted to points to new tops.
 Farm implement and mail order shares were strong in response to the recent rally in grain prices. Case Threshing scared more than 30 points to another record price. and Oliver Farm Equipment, Sears Roebuck and Montgomery Ward climbed about to 6 points.
 Union Carbide, Michigan Steel, American Bank Note. and Under wood Elliot Fisher were among is sues reaching new high ground. General Electric sagged a little at the opening, but quickly sold up 5 points l.. s. Steel mounted points in response to unconfirmed rumors of favorable dividend action at the meeting this month.
 International Silver Down Among the soft spots were Au- burn Auto and International Silver, which sold down about 10 and ' points.

Hudkins -Belanger
Purse Held Up By
Boxing Commission

SAN FRANCISCO, June 80. 0.P)
With the purses Of both fighters
held up by the state boxing commits
sion, an investigation was started to-
day into the 10 round fiasco in which
Ace Hudkins and Charlie Belanger
engaged here last night.
Immediately after the "battle,' -
in which the tossing Of programs was
the lone lively feature, State Com
missioner William Hanlon announced
plans for an investigation and ruled
that the purses should be held up,
much to the delight Of the disgusted
fans.
Hudkins, the so-called wildcat of
Nebraska, set pace so slow that
a one-legged entrant in a cross
country race could have beaten him.
But even that speed seemed to be
too fast for Belanger, who came out
of the Canadian lumber regions with
the reputation Of slugger.
For most of the 10 rounds the
fighters played tag. At no time dur
ing the contest was solid blow
struck and the 10000 fans who had
paid approximately $4,000 to see
the fight Kissed and booed, without
result.
Among those who attempted to
view, the spectacle dispassionately,
Hudkins was given eight rounds and
two were declared even.
