The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.174 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
nearly 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than London.
Ely advices fromliamburg the price of gold is 426 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13. e 4 per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Miet price is, therefore, about
3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The ,:ourse of exchange at New York on London for bills a
GO days' sight is about 200 per cent., and the premium on
gold is about 82 per cent. At these rates there is a profit
on the importation of gold from the United states.
