United Press International BROWNSVILLE — Down town merchants who agreed to a unified exchange rate for pesos said they may have to increase the price of dollars because of high demand. Brownsville merchants voted a week ago to set prices at a stan dardized rate. They agreed then to exchange 120 pesos for $1, and have since been reducing it one peso each day. By Tuesday the rate had dropped to its sche duled 113 pesos for $1, but busi nessman Leon Weisbergsaid the rate may be too low. “It looks like we’ll have to go up in price,” said Weisberg, who owns two general merchandise stores in Brownsville. “There is too much competition now on the sale of the peso. It is making it very difficult now for mer chants to sell the peso at, the agreed-upon price.” McAllen merchants are fol lowing the same basic strategy but have fixed their rate at 118 pesos per $ 1. “The philosophy behind this is that merchants ought to be competing with one another to sell merchandise, but not com peting with one another to sell pesos,” said Alden L.
