PRICEOF

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
Lie short exchange on London is 251. 171 c. per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold at the above price is of about the same value in Lon
uou and Paris.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bilis
at CO days' sight was on the last date about 1071 percent.
At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold
from the Unilcd States.

French cabs are about to be introduced into New
York. This plan of convoying passengers and luggage
at a cheap rate has heretofore been tried several times, but
has always failed in consequence of the meagro capital
employed. Now, however, the Erie Railroad has adopted
the idea, and has ordered the construction of 25 cabs on
the French pattern, to run from their depot. The fare to
any part of the city is to be 50 cents per passenger.
RENTS IN NEW YORK.—The result of a careful
search through New York cly for a house showed that
in the entire space included between Madison-avenue and
Sixth-avenue, from Fourteenth-street up to Fiftieth-
street, there were very few houses of which the rout was
as low as $3,000,
and these wore small and undesirable.
