Republic Steel Financing

The new financing program Of tho

was stated in banking circles yostor-

OF Investment experts that market con
ditions after January I will be more
favorable TO this and other projects
and moro funds will be in greater sup
ply as a result OF the So-called Janu-
airy reinvestment demand. The amount
that has been mentioned in connection
with Republics needs is s1O,0O0,000.
Chairman Topping said n few days ago
that IL new financing we're undertaken
II would be for expansion purposes, as
the company is in no need OF funds

A reason why the Presidents mes
