so that the unbalance which now

The present unbalance was to
be; corrected, he said, by careful

Impoit Silver
Price Raised
For Mexico
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-JP)-
The. state department announced
Saturday night that the ceiling
price on imported silver would be
raised from 35 to 45 cents an
ounce August 31. !
The move apparently was de
signed to encourage Mexican sil
ver mining and thus increase the
supplies of foreign silver available
for American industrial users,
who have largely been1 precluded
from obtaining domestic silver in
competition with .the statutory
price of 71.11 cents an ounce paid
by the treasury. .
The ceiling will be : raised by
the off ice of price, administration
which fixed it originally at
of a cent higher than the price
paid by the treasury for foreign
silver. The original ceiling was
reported to . have discouraged
Mexican mine operators who had
been commanding nigher prices
for American industry.
'With the scarcity of copper and
other strategic metals, silver has
been in growing demand for - in
dustrial uses, especially in . war
production. To help meet this de
mand the treasury recently made
available to war in dsu tries 42,000
of its 47,000 tons of so-called
"free" silver, not used for mone
tary purposes.
