PRICE or GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris to
about 6 per mile premium, and the short exchange 011
London is 25.27/ per 1/. sterling. On comparing the
rates with the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10/d. Per
ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nefal.;
2-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. 13/
advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per rear"
and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per It, sterling'
Standard gold, at the English Mint price, is therefore
about 4-10 tbs per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in LOW'
ion. The course of exchange at New York on London
for bills at 60 days' sight is 11-9.1 per cent., which, as ear
pared with the Mint par between the two countries,
shows that the exchange is slightly in favour of Eng'
land ; and, after making allowance for charges of tray 0'
port and difference of interest, the present rate leaves !
small profit on the importation of gold from the Unite('
States.
