PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotalion of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25f. 221 c. per £t sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
£3 1:s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold at the above price is dearer in London than in Paris.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60
days' sight was on the 3d inst. about 09i per cent. At this rate
there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United
States.
