MEXICO IS GRANTED
DEBT MORATORIUM
Silver Drop Causes Bankers
to Agree to Suspension
Of Gold Payments.
~ the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 31-A new
agreement for settlement of the Next
can debt was signed yesterday to per-
NIT postponement of gold payments for
two years because of the sharp shrink
age in the price of silver, which has
impaired Mexico's capacity to pay
Other features of the latest plan for
settlement of the debt, amounting to
approximately 500, 600. 600, agreed upon
July Is, were retained in the new agree
ment signed yesterday by Monte de
Oca, Mexican minister of finance, and
Thomas W. Lamont, chairman of the
International Committee of Bankers on
Mexico.
The agreement is subject to the APP
prevail of the Mexican Federal Congress
and the bond holders.
Peso Drops 4 Cents.
Under the July Is agreement the rate
OF exchange was fixed at 42.45 Anleri-
can cents par peso, which was the pre-
vailing rate then. Since that time the
peso has suffered a precipitate drop
with the fall in the price of silver. It
Is now quoted around 4119.
The Bankers Committee recognized
this situation and agreed to insertion
of new clause in the agreement
much like the moratorium provision of
the Young plan. under which the Mex
lean government will be permitted to
postpone the necessity of gold pay
ments on its indebtedness for a period
not to exceed two years.
Meanwhile" Mr.. Lamont said, "the
Mexican government will, under the
terms of the new agreement, pay to
the committee in silver pesos the
equivalent of the payments scheduled
fr1s nd AIlA nj ,.f
SOS, 100000 United States gold as pro-
vided in the agreement of July IS, in
Guiding the 100000 previously de-
posted under the agreement, which
will be converted into silver for such
purpose.
1.-The silver will be lodged in a re-
sponsible depository in Mexico City in
the event that within the next two
year period the exchange situation per-
mits the conversion of the silver fund
into gold and the transfer of the
New York, this plan will be followed.
Delays Bond Call.
"In any event, however, the govern
ment holds itself responsible to the
committee to see to it that the end
of the two-year period the full amount
originally named-S25, 500, 0o0-shall be
RENTED for the benefit of the bond
holders.
"Inasmuch as under the new agree
ment it may be possible to make no
gold disbursements to the bondholders
until the conclusion of the two-year
period, the committee will not call for
or accept deposit of bonds Immediately,
nor until such time as it is made mani
fest that disbursements to the bond
holders can be started within a reason
able time"
In the agreement, bondholders would
make large concessions through reduc-
ton of the amounts due for arrears on
interest, extending the term of payment
TO As years and in other ways. Princi-
pal of Government bonds outstanding
amount to S473, 100000 and interest due
totals 1896, 100000 In addition, there
is a debt of the national railways of
S239, 000, 900, with accrued interest due
of $171 ,O00,00 which also is covered
by the agreement.

and other production costs as well as
the long hauls to steel-producing CEN
tiers, it is not profitable at present
prices TO treat the loW-grade American
manganese ores by necessary processing
which will concentrate their manganese
content up to around so per cent and
thus make them available for the steel
makers use.
The American manganese industry
virtually was created during the war
through Government aid, and more
imam 100000 torS OF ore were produced
here during 1918. This fell off sharply
with the cessation of wartime activi-
ties to production Of about SIS 900 tons
OF ore in 1919. During 1880 production
was about $1,000 tons of ore, but in
dications now are that 1t viii fall off
this year to fraction Of that tonnage

operations to meet Soviet prices.

Prices at which foreign producers
can sell profitably to American steel
makers are considerably above present
levels of S24 a ton of so per cent man.

kerson, president of the American Man
ganese Producers Association. The
present low levels are due to price
cutting by Soviet Russia. which Is dump
ing its production on the world at loss
in order to create foreign credits, he
declares.
American demand is met almost en-
tirely by imports from Russia, Brazil,
India and Africa, about one-half of
the total being from Russia. Manganese
deposits in these countries are estimated
to contain a smaller aggregate of actual
metal than those Of the United States,
but the percentage Of manganese metal
