The discount on gold yesterday at Paris was 3 per

per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of

short beirg 21.95, it fellows that gold is 0.157 per
cent. dearer iti Paris than in Lemke.
By last advices the price of gold at Hamburg is
4211 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of
31. 17s. 10d1d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an

on London at short being. 13.31, it follows that gold
is 0.236 per cent. dearer in London than is Hamburg.
