The Mystery Of Exchange.
rBoston journal of Commerce

80 .l,at. boston journal Oh commerce.
We presume that most OF our readers are
aware that the quotation Of foreign eX-
change represents premium considerably
in excess OF the actual fact, but we doubt
whether all Of them know precisely what
is the difference. BIZ the usage OF bankers
the old Spanish dollar is assumed as the par
OF exchange, Ell being equal to four and
four ninths OF these dollars. 1t was at
this rate that sums Of money mentioned in the
Constitution OF Massachusetts were formerly
changed into Federal money, and the rate
no doubt originally represented the true
par between the two countries. In point
Of fact, however. in the established moneys
Of Great Britain and the United States
Ell scontaiDed as much gold as $4S7
Of. United States money; and this is
the true par OF exchange, or rate which
must be used in converting the money OF
one country into that OF the other. For
instance, ii anything costs. E100 in Great
Britain, its true value expressed in the
money Of the United States is $487. Ac-
cordingly it is fact familiar to all bankers
that when exchange is quoted at 1904 there
is no real premium, but the true par has
been attained, because il we multiply
$4.44 40, which is the nominal par, by 1889,
which Ii then the quoted rate, we get S4.Sl,
which Is the true par. We need scarcely
add that it Is owing to this circumstance
that the exports OF gold from the United
States are not larger. II there really eX-
listed such heavy premium on bills OF eS.
change, as many persons suppose, IL WoFlo
be immensely profitable to export goid 10
Great Britain. In point OF fact, in view OF
the necessary expenses OF freight, lnsu'
rance, md loss OF interest, the margin goes
not more than cover the. risk. The Usileo
States hali-eagle, it may be added, contains
lie grains OF pure gold, equivalent TO 70;
the British sovereign lib grains, equivalent
TO S4.s7 OF United States money.
