The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mille pm., and

the short exchange on London is 25.171 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
17s. Ibid. per ounce fbr standard gold, it appears that gold is
nearly 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than London.
By advices fkomliamburg the price of gold is 423 a per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per £1 sterling.

more than 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than In Ham-
burg.

gold is about (Alper cent. At those rates there is no profit
el the importationoi gold from the United States.
