MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was firm,
and in some instances higher. Sales 10,000 bales, 7,000
being American at sd. to 64d. per lb., and 1,000 Surat
at 34c1. to 41. per lb. Speculators took 1,500 bales
American, 900 Egyptian, and 600 Surat. The market
closed firmly. American and Surat were *d. per lb.
higher. Brazil and Egyptian commanded fuller prices.
Shares were well supported, and there was an improve-
ment in North Stafford, Shrewsbury, and Birmingham,
and one or two other lines.

From the Cape of Good Hope accounts have been
received to-day to as late a date as the 7th of October.
The force under Colonel Somerset continued to gain
advantages over the Kafirs, in detached bodies, ard had
recaptured cattle in various directions, so as to be enabled
to furnish the Governor's camp with a good number in
exchange for biscuit and other necessary stores. Still
the troops were prevented by the difficulty of moving
a sufficient quantity of supplies from advancing in
a body, so as to present an extended front to the enemy.
The weather being, however, much more favourable,
and the grass again luxuriant, owing to the copious
rains, there would soon be a better opportunity of acting
vigorously. More of the chiefs were expected to sur-
render at discretion, as Stock had done, and several had
made overtures, but the Governor was wisely resolved,
since matters have proceeded to such extremities, to
exact unconditional surrender.
There have been no accounts of a late date received
from other parts to-day, and the non-arrival of the Bri
tannia, which, however, may possibly be in ere this
article is i❑ print, and in time for accounts to appear in
another column of The Sup.

The Public Securities are very buoyant again this
morning, and there is a good business doing. Consols
are quoted at 95i- 4 for present transfer, and 95k for
time, being fully the advance of yesterday. There
is unquestionably a scarcity of stock, and if the
Chancery broker continues his purchases, the pro•
bability is that there will be a further improvement
before the closing of the transfer books. The New
Three-and•a•Quarter per Cents. have been 954 to 96,
and the Three per Cents. 934 to 94. Bank Stock is
worth 206 to 207. East India Stock is steady, at 259.
Exchequer-bills are again flat, and not higher than
to 9s. premium.
The Foreign Investments have been less dealt in, but
are at full rates. In fact, as regards Spanish at least, it
is considered essential perhaps that there should be some
effort to buoy up the market, in order to inspire confi-
dence in the new committeee of bondholders, which
hitherto has made a show of doing much, though without
advancing one jot, as far as many conceive, the material
interests of the creditors. Spanish Five per Cents. have
been 26k and the Three per Cents. 374, being to
per cent. higher. Grenada Bonds have been at 20.
Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. are 59k.
Shares are animated. The old lines are better.
