The transfer through the sub-treasury of nearly $l,- 500.000 from San Francisco to New York was not without effect on senti- ment, although that amount of gold was received in San Francisco yes- terday from Australia and the largest part of today's transfer was known definitely to be In course of remittance of this gold to the bank here, which engaged 1t in Australia.

 New Orleans, May 24.-The New York commsreiafs seresgs report 9;rwa showing on,s my small estimate by the other authorities, gave the bears something to think about today. operations on the short side of the account in the market having been based to large extent on the expeetations of the Ing a bearish document, but authority has followed the procession in predicting small increase in acreage, thus cutting the ground from under the shorts. Hence there the part of the short interests today re- sulting in ten point improvement from the low level reached earlier in the day on reports of general rains In Texas.
 ever, an examination of the records show that the heaviest rains occurred In NoTtf Tsxas, where the rainfall was certainly pof needed. that section having had excessive where rain was badly needed. the prectpi- tation was by no means general and as a matter of fact, insufficient The local de- mand for spots continued good, and as off in raising quetatians to slightly higher level the market being officially reported steady and 1-16c up on all grades. Saler aggrsgated s.750 bales. Including l.65a bales to arrive.
 Middling now stands at Il s-16c. On this basis July contracts are out of parity ity with spots. As there is very little like lihood of spots being reduced just at this time when exporters are obliged to make purchases out of the actual article in order to fill their engagements for May shipment to the other side. we rather think that the new tendency of futures for while, e' least. will be upward. Tomorrow being Fri- day, a bullish set of weekend figures are a further improvement in values
