France, 1883: Rising Platinum Price

Because London producers were quoting Fr. 1,250/Kg for Platinumware in late October 1883, the likely London 'French' prices for other months 1883 follow:

January, 1883: 1 Kg Platinum (UK: Mfg, Ret. Cash) = Fr. 1,175.
October, 1883: 1 Kg Platinum (UK: Mfg, Ret. Cash) = Fr. 1,250.
December, 1883: 1 Kg Platinum (UK: Mfg, Ret. Cash) = Fr. 1,250.

1873: 1 Troy Ounce platina (Ore, Source Spot)  = Fr 15.55  (USD$ 2.98)
