MONEY MARKET—The quotation of gold at Paris
is about 3 per mille discount, according to the
new tariff, which, at the English Mint price of
31. 17s. 10d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 25 10; •and the exchange at Paris on London at
short being 25.05, it follows that gold is, 040 Per cent.
dearer in Paris than in London. By advieds from hlam-
burgh the price of gold is 425 per mark, which, at the Eng-
lish Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold,
gives an exchange of 13.51; and the exchange at Llarn•
burgh on London at short being 136 A, it follows that gold
is 0.35 per cent. dearer in London than in Ilamburgh.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 1104 per cent., and the par of exchange
between England and America being 109 23-40 per eent,,
it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.67 per cent. in
favour of England; and after making allowance for differ-
ence of interest and charges of transport, the present rate
leaves no profit on the importation of gold from the United
States.
