The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about per mine pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.25 per .£1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of ,E 3
17s. lOicL per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
nearly 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per £1 sterlin,g.
~tandard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg
The course of exchange at New York on London in still in
a very flue uating state, the latest quotation of the exchange
being about 144 per cent., and the premium on gold is about
Sli per cent. Some gold has been received by the last packets.
