REPORT,

TO- GETilan WITH MINUTES. OF EVIDENCE, AND AC-

COUNTS FROM THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON THE

HIGH PRICE GOLD BULLION.

rrConiinked Jrcin Yei dqy.

Upon. these principles, your. Committee desired
Mr. Greff'ilhe to make certain calculations, which
appear in his answers to the (ollowiag questions,
viz. . . '

St?pposing you had a pound weight troy of
gold ollite English standard at. Paris, and that you
wished .by meani Hof that to procure a bill" of
.ex-
, change, what' would be.the amount of the bill of ex-
• change. which you would procure in the present:
circumstances ?-I.fittd that a pound of gold of the
standarri at the present market price 01105
nes, and the exchangeat. 20 livres,i-would pur-
chase a bill of cxcliange of 591. Bs.
" At thq present market p'rice of gold in Lon-
don, how much standard gold can you purchase for
591. Bs. ?—At the Price of 41..125. I find it will
purchase 13 ounces of wild, within a very- small
frac=tioii. •

Then what isthe. difference per cent. in the
quantity of standard gold which is equivalent to,
59L gs. of Our currency as at Paris and in London ?
gi per cent.
" Suppose you have a pound weight troy of our
.start lard gold at Hamburgh, and that you wished
to 'part With it fnr a bill of exchange upon London,
"vilkat would be the amount of the bill of exchange,
which, in the present circumstances, your would
Procure,?—At the Hamburgh price of 101, and the
exchange at 29, the amount of the bill purchased
on London would be. 581. 45.,
" What quantity. of our 'standard gold, at the
present . price 'of 41. • 12s. •do you purchase, for
5Sl:4s. )---About 12 ounces and 3 dwts.
" Then what is the difference per cent. between-

the quantity of standard •gold at Hamburgh and in
lLonct•rti which is,equivalent to 4s. sterling ?
About 51,per cent.
• " Suopose you had a pound weight troy of our
• standard gold at Amsterdam, and wisited to part with
it for a bill of exchange :upon
,Lo.idon, what would
be the amount sterling of the bill of exchange which
you 'would proct;re ?—At the Amsterdam, price ,of
141; exclia;-.:;;': 31. G. and Rank ago 1 per cent.
the amount of the bill on London' would ' be
.581. 18s.
" At..-tbe present price of 41. ifs. what quantity
of our standard gold do your purchase in London for
581. 18s. sterling ?,--12 oz. 10 dwts. •
" How' much is that per cent. ?-7. per cent.s'
Simihr calculations, but made upon different as-
' sutned data, will be tound•in the evidence of Mr..
Abraham -Goldsmid. 44‘rom these answers of Mr.'
Qi-erfullie, it appear, that when the computed ex-
ch iNe with Hamburgit was 29, that is,, from 16
to 17 per cent: beluw.7par, the real difference of ex-
cit tug:, resulting froth the state of trade and balance.
'of payments was no more than 5a per cent. against
this country; that when the computed exchange
wall-Amsterdam 31. 6. 'that is about 15 per cent.
below par, .the real exchange was nu more than 7
per cent. against this country) that, when the corn'-
: pu,ed exchange wtth Paris was 20, th:it is 20 per
cuff, beiow par, the: real exchange wa's • t4).more
than 8 igainst this country. After making these
.pllowances, therefore, for the effea of the balance of
. . trade and pay tu,uts upon • our exchange With those
places, th;,re still remains a fall of t i per 'cent, in the
exchange with gamburgh, of above 8 per cent, in
the'exctlange with Holland, and per cent. in
the exchange with Paris, to be explained in SOlnd
other runnier. '
if ,the. sAille mode of calculation be applied be
.to tire- more recent statements of the exchange
uitli the .Continent, it will perhaps, appear, that
iliongh, the .compuled exchange is at present against
this c:Aintry, the real exchange is to its favour.
From the foregoing reasonings relative •to the
state of th'e,exclianges,- if they are considered apart;
your Committee find it difficult to resist an inter-
. ence, that a portion at It-ast of the great, fall
.vi'hjch the exchanges. Ldely sotfered trust have're-
skilled not from the state of trade; but from a change
in the relative value of our domestic currency. Bur
when this deduction is jiined. with that whickyour.
COrninittee have stwed, respecting the change in
ithe market price of gold, that inference -appear* to
be demonstrated._ • 1
