The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per milk pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.15 per .£1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 1O d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold IS
nearly 2-iGths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per £1 stalinl•
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, there:bre, at
about the same price in London and Hamburg.
The eourse of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 109 to 109 i per cent. At these rates there
is no profit on the importation of god from the United
States.
