Let this water the .flow of water into A gold. Then the height of the piston-head, or the level of water in A, will repre- sent the level of prices, whilst the &re? of the end of A represents the volume of trsAe. The pull exerted by the weight W represents the rate of interest and the pull on the string T represents the rate of discount We thus see that an influx of gold into A will, other things being equal, raise the' level of prices;
