Gold at a Premium at Baltimore.

Baltimore, Md., Jan. 1. —There was a sharp advance in the price of gold here Tuesday, a premium of % per cent being offered with no takers. One banking house was offered this premium, it is understood, for >IOO,OOO in gold, but would not accept. The hostlers of the gold are themselves anxious to get the bonds and are not willing to part with their holdings even at the premium offered.
