Yes, that's right - the more gold nations have in their reserves, the higher
the market prices will be.  In one game where the DS won big early, they
built and built up their gold reserves (average is now about 250,000 or so)
and as a result, prices are staggeringly high.   Mithril now sells for about
300 gold apiece and I have about 400 mithril in stock.  I'd make a killing
if I sold it all (within market sell limits)
    As a result, I consider emissaries to be a must create character class
at game start either in the 2950 or in the 1650 scenario. They'll pay for
themselves again and again, esp over the long run via camp creation and later
on improving them.
