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 11 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 10ad. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
nearly 1-IGth per cent. dearer in Paris than London.
By advices fromliamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per .E 1
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, rather
more than 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Ham-
burg.

'The course of exchange at New York on London for bills a
60 days' sight is about 182 per cent., and the premium on
gold is about , g per cent. At these rates there to no profit
en t he importationof gold from the United States.
