PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is
about 6 per smile premium, and the short exchange on
London is 25.27 k per 1/. sterling. On comparing these
rates with the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per
ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly
2-10ths per cent, dearer in Paris than in London. By
edvices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.4 per 1/. sterling.
Standard gold, at the English Mint price, is therefore
dearly s.loths per cent: dearer in Hamburg than in Lon-
d >n: - The course of exchange at New-York on London
for bills at 60 days' sight is 109 7. per cent., which, as com-
pared . with Alm Mint par between the two countries,
shows that the exchange is slightly in favotir of Eng-
land ;- and, after making wance for charges of trans-
port and difference of interest, the present rate leaves a
trifling profit on the pnportation of gold from the thaitcd
States. •
