The Price of Gold.

- -
The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mule pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.171 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
nearly 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than London.
liy advices fromllamburg the price of gold is 426 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.(5} per £1 sterling.
-tandard gold at the English Mitit price is, therefore, about
3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills a
60 days' sight is about 200 per cent., and the premium on
gold is about 62 per cent. At these rates there is a,:proftt
on the importation of gold from the United States.
