New Tariff Keeps Manganese Prices Steady in 1922
United States Geological Survey figures show domestic manganese ore 35 percent or more, mined mainly in Montana, totaled about 13,500 gross tons in 1922 valued at $457,000, slightly down from 1921. The 1922 tariff, effective Sept 21, sets duties up to $10 per ton by manganese content, aiming to boost domestic prices on the eastern seaboard. Imports through Sept 31 1923 reached 266,969 gross tons valued at $2,824,989, largely from Brazil, with limited impact on profitable mine operation.
