0vercapita|ization Avoided
As u. :. Finances Plants
Sptcia Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Although
American industry is rapidly ex-
panding its production facilities to
fulfill the needs of the defense pro-
gram, the methods used to finance
new plants indicates that most con-
Germs will be able to avoid overcap-
italization, according to a study ap-
pearing in the current issue of
Financial World.
Unlike the expansion created 20
to Is years ago-when increased ia
cilities were provided in large part
by private f1nancing-money for new
construction now comes primarily
from surplus funds held in corpora
ton accounts from the United
States Treasury, mainly the latter,
according to the publication.
Loans from the Federal Loan
Agency through one of its subsid-
iaries to . private corporation are
usually placed on five-year amorti-
zation basis. Assuming that the
plant extensions are kept busy for
period Of five years on defense or
ders, it is expected that the loans
will be completely repaid and, con-
sequently, that there will be on infla-
ton Of corporate capital.
1t is estimated, according to the
article, that actual outlays plus con-
tract commitments for new facilities
will total Is. 600 600 0O( nv the end

Needed Crop
Of European Wheat
Reduced by Rains
Decline Of 10000, 900
Bushels Indicted by
August Reports
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Agriculture Department said
today that rains during the August
harvest season reduced Europe's
sorely-needed wheat crop by about
100000 bushels.
On the basis of such weather and
crop information as is now available,
the department forecast European
production exclusive Of the Soviet
Union) at 100000, 900 bushels.
Earlier forecasts were for 1,460, ,000,-
900 bushels.
Despite the weather loss, a l94l
crop of the size estimated would be
larger than last years smaller out
turn of 1925 ,000,o0 bushels but be-
low the 5-year Q930-34) average
Of 1915 o0O,0 900 bushels.
The department said that should
unfavorable weather conditions con-
tinue for harvesting and threshing
operations, especially in northern
Europe, some further small reduc-
tions in the European total may
occur. This years crop was said
to be below that Of last year in
quality because of very high mois-
ture content.
AS far as individual countries and
regions are concerned, the principal
gains over last year were expected
in Western Europe. notably France,
the British Isles and Portugal, with
some small increases in Central
Europe and the Danube Basin. The
crop In French North Africa was
reported to be considerably above
last years poor crop and should
permit some exports. Prospects in
Turkey and Greece, on the other
hand, were reported much less favor
able than a year ago.

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-Except for
brief rally after midsession, when
wheat showed small net gains, grain
prices spent most of today's trade
fractionally lower than Saturday.
Extreme losses of a cent or more
early in the day were reduced later,
but the market continued under the
influence of taking sales and
some hedging against commercial
trade purchases of cash grain.
Increasing receipts OF grain at
some terminals, attracted by last
weeks peak prices, arrival of the
first car of new corn from Southern
Indiana and approach of the soy
bean harvest season, had bearish
effect on prices.

CLEVELAND, Sept. is [P).-Man-
datory priorities have tended to les

sumers can obtain defense work and
inquiry in general continues light,
the magazine Steel reported today.
Filing of priority forms is hav-
ing the effect of wiping consider
able duplicate tonnage off books

ventory is revealed" Steel said,
adding the opinion is growing that
application of priorities will reveal
that defense needs require consid-

siderable margin for shipment to
non-defense users" the trade publi-
cation continued in its weekly re-
view.
Scrap continues scarce and melt
ers are seeking larger supplies
wherever they are available Most
consumers and suppliers are ad-
herring to ceiling prices but reports
are heard of violations, especially
in the East. Some observers be-
lieve the price maximum will break
down again as scarcity continues.
More direct dealing is being done
between producers and consumers,
