The Price of Gold.

The quotation 01 gold at Paris is about 2 per mine pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.22 i per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of .C 3
17s. 100. per ounce for Standard gold, it appears that gold is
at about the same price in London and Paris.
