The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 2M. 150. per £1 sterling.
un comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appe..rs that
gold at the above price is about 1-10th pa* cent. dearer in
Paris than in London.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills
at 60 days' sight was on the last date about 1 8 per cent.
At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold
rom the Uniicd btates.
