50 MILLION LOAN
TO STEEL HELD
AMPLE CAPITAL
Further Borrowing This
Year Unlikely

NEW YORK, Feb. 2 dN.S).
Identity of the 10 banks in New
York, Chicago, and Pittsburgh
which loaned $5O,0 100000 to the
United States Steel Corporation on
notes maturing in one, two, and
three years, remained undisclosed
today. The corporation borrowed
the money in anticipation Of fur
ther outlays of cash for construc-
ton now in progress.
The loans are believed to be
ample to preclude further borrow.
ing this year and will be devoted
primarily to completion of the
irwin Works of Carnegie Illinois
Steel Corporation and additions to
the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail
road Company, both of which are
almost finished.
OPPOSE FUNDED DEBT
This move was taken today to
indicate that the dictatorship OF
U. s. Steel remains opposed to the
creation of a new funded debt to
finance the corporations growth,
and disposes for the time being OF
the question as to how corporate
expansion is to be met.
This is the first financing under.
taken by the corporation since the
latter part of 1929, at which time
an offering of 1,016,605 common
shares at $140 a share returned
$142, ,697, lot in new capital, OF
which stockholders subscribed 99.3
per cent. The balance was offered
on the open market.
ASSETS SS72,3S4,OOO
This financing made provision
for retirement of $271,462,000 OF
lU. s. Steel bonds in 1929, entaillng
| a cash outlay of $305, ,323,731 with
the balance supplied from reserves
and surplus.
U. S. Steel added $144,0O2 to the
surplus in 1886, and approximately
$27 ,682 900 the following year.

poration Cat the close OF 1880
