To his Excellency Governor Llmimiv.
Central il.iiik.
Tin* directors of the Central Hank, in presenting to
the legislature their fourth at mu d report, have the honor
to state, th it the tables herewith communicated, and of
fered bv them as a part ol this report, will show the ac
tion of the Hoard on the several subjects they relate to.
Table A. will show the general state of the Hank on
the sih lay of November, lull'd.
Table H. the am unit ol principal due the state on sun
dry debts on the first Monday in November, 11, and on
the fir i M md iy in November, 1832.
Table C. tin; am Hint received during the year from
the sales of public property, lor which certificates were
issued to the purchasers, subject to forfeiture on certain
conditions; ami
Table D. tjio annual distribution by loans in the several
counties ol the slate.
At the last session of the legislature, a resolution was
passed, authorizing the If i.ird to appoint a person to t ike
charge ol a ponton ol the old claim's ot the ,-aatagainst
certain individuals whose residence is unknown to the
Hoard. Tnis resolution "has rein lined inoperative, the
b i ird believing alter due i xaniinaiion. that the claims
allude 1 to have received from tne.r predecessors all the
attention this resolution requires.
The important interests involved in the outstanding
debts due the state, and the lands which have been sold
and forfeited for non-payment, have been duly attended
to by the board. Hy the existing laws the reverted pro
perty can In; s>l I only in ihe county in which it lies.
Tu.tt portion ol this properly lying in the towns of Ma
con and C dombiis, was sold by order of the board in
ls:U. in the presence ot one ct their officers, who was
dtr> etc Ito attend the silts. The remainder, scattered
through many counties, and in some cases, of but little
value, h ive thus far rem fined unsold ; the b > ird deeming
it imprudent to order sales at which they were unable to
attend, or to spare an officer of the institution for the
purpose. 1: the legislature should deem it important to
ellm-t sales of this property, the board suggest the p tss
ingot a 1 iw ordering sales to be held at two or more con
ven; nit p huts (or the whole properly n question. At
these sale- a degree of competition favorable to the
state’s interest, might be expected, and an extensive pro
perty no: even paying taxes to the state, would pass into
private hamls.
The Hoard, with some hesitation, call the attention
ol the legislature to the necessity of allowing an addi
tiorml otli -er. to assist in performing the various and
growing labours of the b ink. Toe duties required of
our officers are at present arduous in the extreme. It
is obvious they cannot be performed for a great length
ot time by tlie same persons; and when it is known
that the requisition of the Cherokee territory will add
greatly to these labours, the necessity of an additional
officer forces itself irresistibly on the mind.
Hy the report of the General -tale of the Dank, it is
shown that executive warrants, amounting to §1)2,660
~-k have been taken up by the bank and remain unpaid.
Hy existing laws these warrants will be paid at the
Treasury as soon as the ncees-try funds are received.
The Hoard conceive that in taking up these warrants,
they have performed an imperious duty. They are not
tmapprised of the responsibility of thus using the funds
of the bank; but ti ler the matures! reflection, they
have been enabled to liestow on it, they are tin mimous
!v of opinion, that under the circumstances of the ease,
they have pursued the only course which could have
been justified. The payments mule on these warrants
have absorbed the funds which otherwise might have
been loaned on bills of exchange, thus greatly lessen
ing the power of the bank to accommodate the citizens
with loans, and in a corresponding degree lessening the
profits of the year.
During the current year, the Bank of 51 aeon stopped
payment, with a loss of credit so great as to render its
bills of but little value to the holders. At the time this
disaster occurred, tins institution had in its vaults oniv
one hundred and eight dollars of the bills of this bank.
Since that time, bv the decision of the Judge of the Oe
mulgee circuit, they have been compelled to receive
from the Sheriff ot Bibb county, one hundred and eigh
ty.six dollars more, which in ;kes the amount now on
hand two hundred and ninety-four dollars.
It lias been the desire o: the Board to carry into effect
the whole intention ot the Legislature, in establishing
the bank: and they have considered the supply of a due
proportion of the circulating medium one of peculiar im
portance. They have, however, found this objei t attend.
•■I w-.th some difficulty- By the charter of tins institu
tion, the Board of Directors are authorized to issue incir
own bills to the amount of the Inks Kiev may hold ol the
chartered banks of this state. Os this privilege tin
iGard have but partially availed themselves. In the an.
nu ®l distributions by loans, they have paid out tiie bills of
c ’-u-r banks, except such as wore payable in Savannah or
Aiigiista. By this course the issues ot their own bills
nave been restricted to a sum but little beyond the a
.: of specie and the United States Bank Bills in the ir
' s ‘Os. Gould the Board have kept in circulation the
Li ”S thus issued, they would have taken great pleasure
•n continuing a course so liberal to the banks of the
* :at c. Hat the high credit attained by the btllx of this j
funk, rondeiing them current in the banks of -avwmah, i
tia.citv, or at the North, to obtain them for remittance.
‘ 1 1 *' B point they ceased to circulate, being received at
|* e banks and returned to us tor payment. This process
as been so rapid, that in spite of our unceasing elforts
Keep up toe amount ot our bills in circulation, they
ave constantly returned on us. On the Bth of October,
our b'-lls in circulation amounted to §363.379. On
r» C srSt,5 rSt , -^t )nl ' I>3 they were reduced to §221.850.
> ine loans made in that year, previous to the 13th of
otay, they had again increased to §256 Bv the
*muig Spring, 3d of March, 1331, our currency was!
agm ; reduced to §112.512. By ihe 1-Uh of April we
hid again increase lit t . §235.308. Tim spring of the
prvetit v- tr, April the on, present ! us with a state
ment ol 8.M.0J1 in circulatin'’. Tins sum was by the
17di ot May inereilwi to §lkd.2lo. Our payments (hi
ring tile present year have still kept no with the former
txp< rienec of tie- !» urtk. an 1 o . the srh of November, die

Board on the Ith day of October, passed the following
order, viz. 11. - lived. That from and after Monday the

bank, lor t'.c r. gelation of its intercourse with the seve

1. The notr-s of ail the chartered banks of this state

J/.irOA, A or. 15. —Cotton Market —Within a week
past a few bales of extra quality, have sold as high as
Hp Principal sales from ltD toll. The prices te
day are somewhat reduced by intelligence from a
broad—say one f.cirth of a cent. Sales from 104 to 10 f
—principal sales of prime cotton at 10}. Considerable
cotton is now coming in and business is becoming lively.
Yesterday about 800 bales w-re received.
CHARLESTON, Nor. 15. The Marketts.— Since
Monday last, the salbs 6f cotton have reached near 1500
bale.-, which ni.'il ps :he T tnl amount disposed of so far
this week, about 230'i bales—of which the lowest sale
effected w:\s at !I \ o nts. About 6U9 bales brought 12
cents, and the gi r erff range es the balance was from
111 to 11 cts. <.*n Mondav, ;md during the lorcnoon of
Tuesday, the der.it nd was verv go->d. but since that time
less eagerness hr. t been observed among purchasers, a
number of vessels having completed thvir loading.
The arrivals are st 11 limited, but we nnv expect that
planters will forward their crops very t xpeditiouslv, as
soon as they arc informed of the high prices which have
been paid during the last few days, and that tire market
will be well supplied in the coarse of a short time.
N FAVORLEA AS, \«»v. 10.— The Cholera is f ub- ;

are sorry to hear that the inhabitants along the river

with the steam boats. We do not believe here th r fire

iv. to be as little liable to contract rt as though we had j

remains at 12 feet G inches below high water mark.
The Market. —As usual, we notice particularly, tire
several articles produced in the valle y of the Missis-i >pi,
and its tributary streams ; but in consequence of th i ca
lamity that has afflicted oar citv during tre last two
weeks, we can give little information other 'man to say
that they arrive, are stored, and are for sale. Individu
als, .anil particularly families, have been too much oc ; tpt
cd with self-preservation to think of buying any more
than would suffice for the wants of the moment. Pu rch
asing for exportation, or on speculation, was out of the
question ;rhr wants and anticipations of to-morr/vr have
been little thought of, for none could say what to-rnor
row would bring forth - ; consequently, every tint gin the
way of trade has been stagnant, anil was if not that the
Shipping List, the Import and Export Tabic t require
correction, arid that trie Cotton market has been unusual
ly animated no doubt to fill foreign orders' \\f. and the
commercial community, could well have dispensed with
any remarks whatever on the subject.

Extract o f a letter from Liverpool, dated Sept. 23, 1832.
“ The great activity in our Cotton Market which we
noticed in our last respects of the loth and 24'h inst. has
entirely subsided, owing to the apprehension that the long
pending ncgociatibns about the Belgian question would
end in immediate hostilities; this opinion has had an un.
favorable effect upon business in general, but more par
ticularly upon the Cotton Market: it his for the present
put a total stop to jlte operations of speculators; the trade
having lately taken large supplies, have also for the last
few days suspended their purchases, but owing to the
extensive transactions in the-earlv part of the week the
sales amount to 18730 bales, whilst the imports are only
162 I b dcs. leaving for our stn- k 215300 hales, ot which
192 000 bales Atm riean agairfst on the 28th -opt. 1831,
307.500, of which 203,000 hales were American.
We do not notice any alteration in prices, though in
many instances n disposition has been evinced to sub
mit to a small reduction, on last week’s rates to effect
sales.
It appears by the accounts from the Manufacturing
Districts that the late improvement in Yarns and Goods
has also in a great measure subsided, from the same a
lartn respecting political affairs.”
Oct. Ist, the market to-day is very heavy-, and holders
evidently anxious to effect salts at sonic little reduction.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET , Saturday
Sept. 29.—There has he.cn no change to remark in the
prices of American or Brazil cotton since our last ; hut
the East India and Egyptian are about jd per lb. high
er. During the earlier part of the week, the demand
continued very extensive, and the tendency of the mar
ket seemed favorable to the seller, but yesterday and
to-day the business transacted lias been more limited,
and the market closes with less spirit generally, and. in
some cases, with a slight reduction in prices. The
sab s of the week amount to 18,723 bales, of which
4,036 bales American, 7110 Egyptian, and 333 Pernams
have been taken on speculation. The imports are
4,628 hales. The sales to-day amount to 1230 bales,
in American descriptions from 6 'd to 71 o'.
Monday Evening, Oct. I—There has been a quiet
market on Saturday and to-day, and only about 3000
bags sold on the two days, at forme* - prices.
Daring, Brother's <j- Co's, views of Cotton on the 22 I
September-.
“ COTTON. —The short supply from the U. States
and Brazil has had a favourable effect, as has the reviv--
al of trade in France, prices in consequence have gra
dually advanced, and us the consumption is going on at
the usual rate, the stocks will probably be reduced at
the close of the year below what they have been forma
lly years, we should not therefore be surprised to see a
farther improvement ; hot for next ysar, unless some
extraordinary event should take place, the supplies from
Bombay, E pt, and Brazil, will be greatly increased,
and with a • ->od crop in the United .States, low prices
■ Seem inevitable.''
“ We see no reason to expect very high prices for
any article while the question of the Bank charter, and
the measures of the new parliament continue uudeter- |
mined.”
