United Press International EL PASO — The value of Mexico’s troubled peso plunged against the American dollar in border city banks in the wake of Mexico’s announcement that its ban on dollars will be lifted and two exchange rates established. El Paso National Bank opened its exchange window Monday with record rates of buying 145 pesos for $ 1 and sell ing 130 pesos for $ 1. By mid-morning, the bank dropped its buying rate to 140 pesos for $ 1. State National Bank was buying 142 pesos for $ 1 and sell ing 132 pesos for $1. Jesus Rios, of EPNB’s inter national department, said the 145 to 1 exchange is pretty realistic. “It’s supply and demand,” Rios said. “When you consider all the problems of Mexico, 145 isn’t ail that unrealistic. The country’s problems of unem ployment, inflation, withdrawal of federal subsidies and their lack of dollars. All these things determine the rate of ex change.” Bring your out-of-date books, with your new books & we’ll make you an offer on all your books (including paperbooks). The rate was determined partly by how retailers in El Paso and California were trading the peso over the weekend. He said several El Paso mer chants were exchanging be tween 140 and 150 pesos for $ 1, while some areas of California were trading as high as 160 pesos for $ 1. Under the currency reform, an exchange rate for private citizens is determined by supply and demand and another, for business, is set at 70 pesos to the dollar.
