The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mills pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.20 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
i7s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
n arty 1-10th rer cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per nark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
6-10ths per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg
60The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
eaYs' sight is 164 to 164} per cent., and the premium on
gold is 50 to 504 per cent. At these rates there is a profit
on the importation of gold from the United States.

MARK LANE.
Fresh up to Mark-lane to-day the arrivals of English
grain were very moderate. Owing to the fineness of the
weather sales progressed [lowly in all descriptions, yet no
change took place in prices, compared with Monday.
The supply of foreign wheat was large. Nearly all de-
scriptions met a slow sale, and in some instances the quota-
tions had a downward tendency.
Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, on former
terms.

The supply of barley was in a great measure confined to
foreign produce. Both grinding and distilling qualities sold
slowly, at late rates.

Malt was in fair average request, at full quotations.
The supply of oats was large, In most descriptions a fair
business was transacted, at the late decline in the currency.
Beans and peas were steady in price, and about an aver-
age business was transacted in both articles.
Flour moved off slowly; nevertheless, fine marks sup-
ported previous rates.
