as the result of his recent victories but was pressed hard to beat back the determined fight of the chal- lenger who had LOugnran in dls- tress in the seventh round.
 With a right cross to the jaw and with possible knockout in sight, the Ohioan gave Loughran a two-fisted beating about the body in the seventh round but Loughran weathered the attack.
 Loughran had piled up a heavy margin in the other rounds on points with his famous right hand to get a decision. He hurt Sekyra with rights in the sixth and ninth rounds.
 There were no knockdowns.
 Loughran weighed 183 pounds and Sekyra weighed TIT pounds.

Buying for Profit
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Every investment list contains secur-
tiles the market price Of which is lower
than the purchase price. That state
ment is true even in times Of great
prosperity and Of rising markets. 1t Is
even more true today, and 1t is true not
alone of individual investors but Of
banks, insurance companies and invest
ment trusts.
The question arises as to what to do
with these securities. Shall they be
sold, the loss accepted and the pro-
ceeds reinvested or shall they be held
until there is market recovery? The
answer to this question Is in no way
dependent upon the amount Of the
paper loss. Time and again I have been
asked for an opinion on q stock or
o bond the market value of which has
deprecated since 1t was acquired and
always with the request went informa-
ton as to the price that the inquirer
had originally paid. When I say that
1t makes no difference what was paid
in the first place or that 1t makes no
difference what the loss would be II
sold, the investor usually does not
understand.
It does make difference to the in
dividual, but 1t does not help In solution
Of the problem. There Is only one point
to be settled and that. is whether it
would be better to sell and substitute
some other security with a better out
look or to hold on, and in debating that
point the amount Of the loss is not
pertinent. Refusal to accept this view
may mean o much greater loss, perhaps
disaster.
The speculator is wiser, that is if he
is a successful Spectator, than the
investor. He takes losses; otherwise, he
does not survive. In only one respect
is the investor better on, and that Is
in that he can take time to consider,
a privilege often denied to o speculator.
In any event. however, II. with all the
facts available at hand, the indications
are that the position of the investment
is deteriorating, the sale should be made
whether the loss be great or small.

Mountains dropped 5 to 10 cents in
some markets. and general range was
ITO to S2.15 per hundred pounds. There
was little change in prices Of Canadian
potatoes. which were fairly abundant in
New York and Boston. New York round
white varieties sold at SITS to 50 in
Baltimore and Pittsburgh.
Old Onions Scarce.
Northern onions Of good quality are
in scanty supply at this time OF year.
Some OF the best are from cold storage.
Top price first week in May was $l.75
per 100 pounds in Boston and a few
Southern markets, but general range OF
fair to good stock was SIPS to $3.50 per
100 pounds. Some sold as low as 81 IN
Baltimore. Onions from Chile brought
$40 per 50-pound box in Boston.
Southern yellow Bermuda onions sold
some declines at Northern markets. and
general range 81 to $1.35 per crate.
Prices were about steady at Southern
shipping points. :
A few sales of carrots were reported
at Western New York country shipping
points. but nearly all shipments were
made on consignment. Holdings are
heavy and dealers are doing their best
to move them.
Spinach Market irregular.
Maryland and Virginia spinach was
active In about dozen Of the large
markets the first week of May and
prices were irregular, but fairly well
sustained in the majority of markets at
so to IS cents per buShel basket. Mary
land spinach appeared as far West as
Detroit and Cleveland at rs cents per
bushel Virginia spinach sold in New
- Re
20 cents during the week.
Apple Markets Firm.
Action of the apple market this
Spring has been rather satisfactory to
holders when contrasted with the de-
clines In many other lines Of farm pro-
duce. Prevailing market price of the
Baldwin, leading Eastern variety,
around $1.85 per bushel in producing
sections, is within few cents of the
market range of early May last year and
the same month two years ago. The
showing for other varieties Is not quite
so satisfactory because of the compare
lively heavier production. Most of the
large markets report supplies moderate
of jobbing sales of Baldwtns is around
50 per bushel. Eastern Staymans and
Yorks are nearly steady in Baltimore
and Philadelphia at 50 and $2.25 and
Davises brought $1.75 to $500 and
Winesaps, $2.25 to $3.50 in Washington.
A few sales of Roxbury Russets were re-
ported in Pittsburgh and Detroit at $3.50
to $1.65. Eastern Newtons brought $2.25
to $2.75 and Delicious, $2.25 to $3.50
per bushel in Eastern markets the first
week in May. Midwestern apple mar
kets were about steady and prices were
well maintained in Pacific Northwest
producing sections. Trading in apples
was light in Western New York. Car
load movement averaged about 10 cars
daily, A slightly better feeling prevails
for good stock, but most of the remain
ing supply is OF ordinary quality and
cond1tlon. Storages are fast cleaning up
and shipping movement in that Section
IS expected to be nearly done by the
end of May.

HOOVER URGED
TO CALL NEW
COAL PARLEY
Philip Murray, Of United Mine
Workers, Says Recent De-
Velopments Warrant Action

PITTSBURGH, Aug. IL QN.SD. i.
With the pulse of the coal in
dustry at low ebb, Philip Muir.
ray, international vice president
OF the United Mine Workers Of
z America. today suggested that
President Hoover call a confer
ence in Washington to discuss
the ills of the nations coal fields.
Murray's. suggestion was based
on general developments occur
ring since the last conference,
and. in particular. on recent pro-
posed solutions of the fuel prob
lem.
These developments. which in
cluded suggestion that mines be
operated under the guidance of
"a Federal commission modelled
after the Interstate Commerce
Commission, or that the coal
fields be given a status similar
to the nations oil reserves, were
climaxed by a proposed solution
put forth by Samuel Taylor,
nationally known mining engi-
nOer.
Urges Central Control
TayIOr's plan, outlined exclus-
lively by International News Serv-
Ice. would divide the coal fields
Unto IL producing districts and
provide for the consolidation Of
mines under a central control to
wipe out abOrtive competition
and Over-prOductiOn.
Joseph T. Miller, former assist
ant fuel administrator during the
war, indorSed Murray's suggestion
with the statement:
'It is time for the Govern
ment to talk, and to assure
there would be reasonable and
4 proper laws under which coal
men may operate"
Recommends Commission
Murray said:
Proposed Federal regulation
of the coal industry deserves
added consideration. If PreSi-
dent Hoover would issue an in
vitatiOn asking coal operators
and union leaders to such a
conference. the invitation would
be generally respected in view
Of the new developments which
a have transpired since the last
conference was held"
Murray recommended a tenn
porary Federal Commission be set
up, pending Congressional legis-
1ation, with power to render as
sistance by setting standards in
the industry that would alleviate
the stress and prevent the pos
Sibility of a crisis developing in
the mining industry. during the
coming winter"
