The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mine pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.17} per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of Z. 3
17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard
gold,
it appears that gold is
abou 1-loth per cent. dearer in Paris than in London.
By advises from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per marl
and the short exchange on London is 13.6} per £1 stall n
Standard 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 for bills at
60 days' sight is about ink per cent. At these rates there is
a small profit on the Importation of go'd from the United
States.
