is in debl to the Planters Bank at Natchez,
and the Planters Bank is in debi to the baak

paying bis debt r. the bank al Natohez, and
thereby enabling 10 latter 10 pay what it owes
to the Bank at New York. The factor ships
the cotton 10 Liverooo, and draws bill Of
exchange on England. which bill he sells, and
with the proceeds pays The New Orleans a.
gent of the Planters Bank, which agent we
will suppose to be the Union Bank. The Bank
Of America, at New York, draws on the Plan

year before sold TO the Mississippi mer"

This may seem like a very complicated
process Of bIll-dnwng But il is in reality
plain business transaction. The Bills and
drafts in all cases follow the course Of the
goods on which they arc founded. The trade
between Mississippi and England, is an ex-
change of coltenoiOr dry goods and other
products OF British industry. Mississippi
carries on this trade chiefly through the two
ports Of N. York and New Orleans. Through
the former she makes her imports. through
the latter hcr exports. All the notes given.
and the drafts drawn, are but the Represent
atives Of the goods received or the cotton

IN this country, commences at New York.
whore the importation was made; and 10 that
city, in order TO liquldate accounts, must the
bill of exchange be sent which was founded
on the expectation made al New Orleans.
This bill is forwarded to Liverpool About
the time it reaches that city, the cotton on
which it is founded arrives: and thus the
accounts between England ana the United
States are adjusted.
