MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet-
but firm. Sales 3,000 to 4,000 bales. Railway Shares
%vere further depressed, and there was a large quantity
of stock offering.

Accounts of July 27 have come to hand from Graham's
Town, Cape of Good llope. It appears that the Kafir
chiefs, Sandilla, Krieli, and Mapassa, were disposed to
form a confederation against the British, but in th ds
there would be nothing to regret, as it would be far
better that we should have a fair chance with them iin
the open field.
The Money Market seems a little easier today, arid
the arrival of specie from abroad serves to impart ratb or
more buoyancy, together with the approaching paymoa t
of the dividends.

The following is rather a curious suggestion in a
provincial journal, for affording ease to the money; -
market:—

Sir,—The journal of this morning quotes thus:—
"Ile problem which the currency doctors have si -t
themselves to solve is, how to thrive upon credit with—
out capital.' This is easily solved—by permitting the i n
to use the capital they have now locked up, and to opo n
the mint to them, as at Calcutta, under a tax of oi:te
and a third per cent., and where the people have coin.! d
for themselves upwards of twenty-nine millions sterlii: g
in twelve years.—Vide Parliamentary Reports, Mari:l
10, 1846.
" Sir Robert Peel has not coined sufficient for thte
people, nor will let the people coin for themselves, in
order that the bullionists may obtain extra usury from
land, trade, and labour. Whenever this leave is givetu,
I will soon be at the door of the mint with hundreds of
people ready to avail themselves of this justice.
"I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" EDMUND TAUNTON,
An old Foreign Merchant of 1801.

"Birmingham, Oct. 9, 1847."
The English Funds have been better supported afher
the serious reaction of yesterday, but there are a good
many sellers still who have been waiting the re-opening
of the transfer books. Consols have ranged from Bi 4
to 83i for present Transfer, and about 1 per cent. mare
for Account. Exchequer Bills have been 10s. to 20s.
discount, and East India Bonds 225. to 30s. discount.
In the Stock Exchange, therefore, money is still scarce,
arising from the arrangements for settling the accom it.
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been
83,/ to 82i ex. dividend. Bank Stock has ruled at 18.41
to 180 ex. dividend, and India Stock at 2241 to 220.
Consols scrip has been at 6 discount. Another instal-
ment is due the 6th inst.

Much solicitude is still felt regarding the French
loan, and the probable amount that may be subscribed
for here. We conceive that there will be a much smaller
list than is usual made up in England, and that the Bas]li
of England will exercise some vigilance to check exports
of bullion.

The Foreign Stock Market is very dull. Mexican
Bonds have been down to 18i i. Spanish Three per
Cents. are 27. ^ Dutch Two•and-a-Half per Cents. have
been quoted 531.
Railway Shares have been rather flat, and in many in-
stances cheaper.
