MONEY-MARK.E.r.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 16 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31.
17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 25.55; and the exchange at Paris on London
at short being 25.471, it follows that gold is 0.29 percent.
dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Ham-
burgh the price of gold is 4351 per mark, which, at the
English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10Ad. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.10 f ; and the
exchange at Hamburgit on London at short being 13.11+,
it follows that gold is 0.57 per cent. dearer in London
than in Hamburgh.
