The Price of Gold.

The come of exchange at New York on London for bills
at 80 days' sight is about 104 per cent. At this rate there
is no profit on the importation of gold from the United
States.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on Loudon is 25f. 22,c. per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price f
£3 128.101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold is about 2-.oths per cent. dearer in London than in
Parts.
