Appreciable deviations from the Maxwell-Garnett formula are found. It is noted that, with the metal concentration increase, the role of the pair multipole interactions between the particles becomes significant. The frequency dependence of the imaginary part of the effective dielectric function of the system is calculated with an account of the dipole-dipole interaction between the particles of two different kinds. %8 1999-10-01
