I don't think bitcoin charts is exactly what you're after. If you MUST use it then you'll find the information you're looking for at <http://api.bitcoincharts.com/v1/markets.json> however this includes all markets and not just mtgoxUSD ([API overview is here](http://bitcoincharts.com/about/markets-api/)).

I would suggest using the mtGox API directly, information can be found at the [bitcoin wiki](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/MtGox/API/HTTP/v1) and this explains exactly how you could go about getting current volume etc.

To get the volume you would need to either look at the JSON displayed on this page <http://data.mtgox.com/api/1/BTCUSD/ticker> or parse it into whatever language you're processing this data with.
