By Associated Pres,

New York, March 11.--New high prfces
 for the movement were established in the cotton mark during today's earlier tradin followed by reactions with .g off from S6 esc to s6 S5c, and q Ing at 36 53c, compared with SC. ZIG yesterday The general list closed steady at net advance of to 10 points.
 The feature of the early advance was the continued broadening of demand for early new crop deliveries. Business was more active and general than for some time past, and after opening firm at an advance of 5 to 32 points the market sold & to s6 points net higher on the old crop and about 55 to 65 points net higher on new crop deliveries Buying of the latter was stimulated by continued unfavorable weather in the south and unfavorable weather forecasts, while the general list was influenced 5y the early strength of foreign exchange, and reiterated reports of buying against sales for forward shipment to both for eign and domestic spinners. March made a new high record selling at S9.75c. or within 25 points of the best price | by December contracts, while July sold at 34 03c and October at Sl.S0c.
 The advance was checked at this leve I by realizing, which became more active during the early afternoon, when the dis
 position to take profits on long con tracts
 was probably increased by reactions ir
 foreign exchange. March sold off to S9 5OC and July to 33.74c, but the close was

New Orleans Cotton By Associated Press

New Orleans, March 11.-Prices were higher on the opening in the cotton mar ket today, but after midday considerable
 realizing appeared on the long side, and prices eased off from the highest un- der it. The first upswing carried the active months 32 to 42 points over yNs- terdays close. Here there was p7dse and small recessions under realizing oc- cured, but a little later the advaHce was resumed and the market continued lower until 1t was 43 to 5S points up. The early strength of sterling exchange was the main thing back of the buying, and the reaction in sterling had something to do with the reaction in cotton. Buy CTS were helped to a considerable extest by the wet weather in the more central portions of the belt, the forecast of wet W eather for the eastern division and of cold weather for the western dt- vision. Later the tone was steadied as the market fell off from the highest by the large clearances. which totaiea. from all ports, 4s.62s bales. against 5s.--e this day last year.

New York, March (special.)- profits of the Gulf States Steel Com pany in 1919 were s27s.42l. equivalent after the deduction of s14oooo in first preferred and s5,12 in second pre- ferred dividend payments to sl.2o a share earned on the common stock, against N,1s2, ,662, or ss.2s a share, earned in the preceding year. These figures were arrived at after arriving for changes and federal taxes. Hold CTS of the common stock received s11l,I36 in dividends during the year, or ss3s,S6s less than was distributed in 1918. Though this reduction was placed at s23.l4s, a s26.s53 gain over the year before.
 Optimism generated by the swift ascent in stock prices this week has not blinded the Street to possibilities of further trouble due to credit con- ditions. It would not surprise many folks were the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to mark up it's official rates of discount again. in fact. It is understood that the directors of the institution have the matter under con sideration. In connection with the heavy payments being made through the Da0kS on account OI lcoSAdi iif- come and excess profit taxes, due on Monday next, the date of the first installnent, it was pointed out today that the money market could not be expected to benefit from any improve ment in the position of the banks such as would follow from increased gov ernment deposits. The disposition of the banks, it was stated by one bank er Is to do everything possible to re- duce their indebtedness at the reserve institution and any slack that might develop will likely be taken up for that purpose rather than in an expan- sion of Street loans. Looking ahead, many leading bankers are said to an- ticipate extremely tight mnoey in May or June. At private dinner recently - given by a prominent banker to a number of his friends, 1t is under stood that this opinion was expressed by several of those present in the course of discussion of the general credit situation.

London Cabled Another Drop in Gold Premium Had Diverted Metal
 to New York
By As.esIss.d Pr..s

New York, March 11.-Influenced mainly by the further rise of British exchange which proved only temporary. the stock market today made many noteworthy ac- sessions to its recent general and expan- slve recovery.
 Early strength of exchange was sup plsmented by London cables stating that another drop in the gold premium had diverted more of the metal from that rarket to this center. There were no de- velopments. however, to substantiate re- lorts that extensive gold exports 10 this country are in immediate prospect.
 The weekly statement of the Bank of England was interesting for it's further substantial gain of bullion, an enormous reduction of holdings of government se- curites and the marked strengthening of liability reserves.
 The hlgh rate for demand bills on Lon don today was $S.s24, reacting to s. i6 al the close of the stock market. At the new maximum a further gain of 6Ac over yesterday was shown. Allied ex- changes were higher at the outset, but fell back with sterling, while Scandi- navian remittances were conspicuousiy strong.
 Domestic monetary conditions were un- changed, call money being freely offered at [ per cent. with very few offerings Of time funds.
 Bankers seem hopeful that no appre- ciaple tightening or rates would attend impending heavy income tax payments, but advised against extravagant stock market operations
 Except for a perceptible diminution Of blislness in the latter dealings the break in exchange exerted no very pronounced effect tn quoted values. Reactions CT tu points were largely regained at V finish, although profit taking was eyi- dent
 Trading in bonds was light, but the tone, especially of speculative rails, was strong. Liberty issues eased, with hrm- ness among internationals. Safes, pal value, were s1e 775, ,O0o Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.
