The stock market nas thrown Into confu&Ion this afternoon by the annrjitneement of Actlnpr Chairman McGarragh. of the money pool, con cludlnt; with the statement that any disposition to Indulge In specu lative commitments based on borrowed money must of necessity lead to an increase In rates. Brokers who received this announcement early construed it as a wnrnlng to cease bullish operations, and nt the same time many of them joined In the selllns movement that caused declines of uround L' points in nearly nil the leading issues. The money situation has been In the state of increased tension for some days, and apparently the work of a. pool In the copper stocks this mornlnu caused the money committee to take Immediate action to pre vent any further extension of the buying movement. Before those in the' Street had this money stringency Impressed on their mind the market li.nl at times shown a strong tone, but there had been a noticeable decrease in the demand from a shoit period after the opening. I'nltcd States Steel, after advancing V4 to 116'i, yielded fctcadily during the forenoon, but after ranging above 115 had an abrupt break of 1 point. Marine preferred moved in the same way, selling first at 104 and then starting on a downward course, and other issues which had shown strength ended the day with substantial declines. General Motors was weak from the start, being without support and yielded more than 10 points In the first half of the day to 132. Amer ican Sumatra Tobacco declined 3 points and more, although the annual statement published this morning was of so favorable a character that many had looked for a sharp upturn in that stock. A movement in the copper shares which attracted attention during the forenoon, abruptly ended In tho last hour, with Anaconda and In spiration both pressed for sale- In the late trading. The bond market was fairly steady all through the day, with only moderate fluctuations in the Liberty Issues. Ballroad bonds were gen erally quiet and without special feature. Net Close chge.

COTTON PRICES MOVE THROUGH WIDE RANGE Irregularity Displayed During the Entire Session Close Is Lower New York, Aug. 29. Considerable irregularity was dis played on the cotton market today, prices mm ing In a rather wide range. Around midday, on tho publication of a number of bullish prhate reports, the market showed strength, but later In the session the announcement by G. W. Mc Oarragh, acting chairman of the Money Committee, warning against speculation in view of the large sutns required by the Government for war purposes, caused liquidation and prices dropped rather sharply to about a cent below the high est of the day. The early buying found encourage ment In the crop and war news which emphasized all the bullish features con cerned in recent advances. There was ' North Pacific Heavy general realizing at 3g 70c for omo l'as. (JcioDer and 35.10c for January, or fully 3 cents per pound above the low level of Monday and 45 to 50 points above last night's closing figures. As the market will he closed from Phlla Co tomorrow night until after Labor Day. i Pitts & West the proximity of the three-day adjourn- do prof . . . ment doubtless promoted the tendency i Pleice-Arrow to take profits on long cotton, while !"ls C.01L.,V there wero also many who belleed that the bullish view of the approaching Government report had been discounted. For a time, prices broke rapidly sell ing off 70 to 85 points from the high and 20 to 40 points net lower. , . . .

There was a general crumbling away of values In a number of Issues during the early trading on the curb, with Chevrolet becoming the most prominent feature, that stock falling In the fore noon to 128, the lowest price touched In some time. This decline was in sympathy with a break in General Motors, Into which Chevrolet is to be exchanged. The col lapse In the last-named stock was at tributed to the restrictions placed by the Government on motor output, but atten tion was called to the fact that at 150 for the present stock It was selling at equal to 750 for the old stock prior to tho increase In capitalization. .Submarine was under pressure, drop Ping 1V1 In the first half of the day to 16. Aetna Explosives was also under pressure, yielding 1 point to 11, and Wright-Martin continued heavy, al though It did not change much. United Motors found a good market, after a decline to 3214, and rallied shortly after noon. The oil stocks were generally steady, with Stanton Oil continuing in gooC de mand. Copper stocks were steady, with Hecla selling at 5 1-16 and Ray Hercules at 4?s4.

Somehow, It ail seems to have started at Margaret's wedding. If I hadn't promised her I'd write to mother and tell her about Rosie and me being en gaged dad would never have gone to Newark, and, of course, Rosle wouldn't have promised him that she'd give me the go-by. Well. It had to come some time. Rosie won't sec me yet; I've Just got back ffom Newark. You can bet your pedal appendages that I feM just like writing Insurance policies nit ! However, Goldman Isn't the guy to listen to a hard-luck story, so, while worrying over Rosie, 1'vo Just had to plug for business and it sure has helped me tome. I actually enjoyed the usual Wednes day round table of the agents for the Magnitude. The topic assigned was "What Is the Best Sale You Ever Made?" I told 'cm about my Italian sale which, so far, has led to four others, but mine was a weak, easy job compared to some that other agents put over. Three 'sales struck me as about ten blocks ahead of all the rest. The stories on them wero told by Goldman (he must be a wonder), Terkins and "C. C." Goldman's best sale of. life insurance went like this: He'd been trying' to get at a fellow who had taken over a whacklntr big sno) concern which had been on the toboggan for ears and was all but ready for the final bump. This fellow, one of those big-Jawed heavy-faced guys -Goldman called hlrr Curran had taken over the shoe busi ness, shoved on the brakes and headed her up the htll again. In five years II was there with both feet and making oodles of niazuma. The stockholders (It was a $2,000,00 corporation) just purred, they were so happy. Of course, Curran pulled down a whale of a salary, besides being a big stockholder. A lot of 'agents had tried to write up; Curran, but he wasn't an easy proposl. tlon to get nfrxt to. Goldman says h maneuvered three months before getting his story rlrtht and finding how to gel at Curran properly. FInal'y ho struck up an acquaintance with him after an Introduction by a mutual friend Not for some weeks did Goldman breathe Insurance; he- wai waiting until the time was right. One afternoon Goldman "happened" I.itp Curran's office, and after the usual rowwow on the weather, said, "You certainly nave a wonderful plant here. Curran." "You betcha," he replied, for he didn't exactly haw himself. "When you took over the .plant flvi years ago It had all gone to seed, hadn't It?"- "All of that and then some," laughed Curran. "Well, It certainly is there now, all right thanks to your genius. I wonder what would happen to the stock If yot were to stub your toe some night and In the fall break your neck? I under stand the number of men able to take a shoo plant and run It ptoperly are all too scarce." "Say," laughed Curran, "what are you trying to do, give mo the creeps?" "Not at all, but if I were a stock, holder I'd want some better securltj for my Investment than the life of on man ll'b tto risky." "Oh." said Curran uneasily, "thej would get somebody somewhere, but at It Is, what can you dp about it?" "If I were a stockholder, I'd sleep easier at night if I knew that the life ol the itwn whose efforts were solely re sponsible for the security of my money was Insured for half a million in favot of the company." Curran looked at Goldman for a mln- ute, then blurted out, "Ho! So you do sell Insurance, do you? Well, old maa you win. Give me the. figures and I'll present 'em at the next noard meeting It's a good thing." "At the board meeting'," Goldman 'con cluded, "it was voted .to insure Curran'i life with the Magnitude, for $360. 0Q0.'.' Perkins then told of his best sale.
