The Price of Gold.

- --0- -

The quotation of gold at Paris is about a per raffle pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.12} per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of L 3
i7s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 2-ittha per cent. dearer in Paris than in London.
By advicc a from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per marl
and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per -el stunt]. .
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, at
about the same price in London and Hamburg.
l'he course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is about IC9 per cent. At these rates there

is no profit on the importation of god Irvin the United
States.
