I see no disparity. Unless you're naively referring to the $40 difference in price. They're different exchanges with little to no arbitrage opportunities. Also pay attention to the sell wall in your left image that is suppressing the price.

Now the market is taking a breather and mtgox has had a lot of coins withdrawn - the deprecated value of mtgoxUSD is most apparent.
