Retail, Palladium Chloride was 78% the price of Palladium Wire in Merck's Catalogue.  If the 1892 UK market price of Palladium was under £ 5., this estimation sounds exceedingly high, but the 1893 US wholesale price was USD$ 62.

1891: 1 Troy Oz. Platinum (mfg, retail?)  = £ 1.94 (USD$ 9.45)
1891: 1 Troy Oz. Palladium (semi-mfg, retail)  ~ £ 15.38 (USD$ 74.77)
