Among other items of steel manufacture on the regular monthly schedule are around 4,500 tons of steel shapes for the ships being built at Mobile by the Chick asaw company and from 5,o00 to 6.0j0 tons of steel that leave for foreign fields with the sailing of each of the new Chick asaw ships and sometimes by other ships in addition.
 FOREIGN TRADE Among the steel shapes going down the river at this time, besides products of the T. C.. I. mills, are wire mill products from the Fairfield plant of the Ameri- can Steel and Wire company for Mobile and New Orleans, the larger part for New Orleans.
 With the anticipation of easier money and in view of the standardization of the steel trade caused by the Gary announce ment of price maintenance and reces- sion of the independents to the steel cor poration level, the general tone of the steel trade in the Birmingham district vas distinctly more optimistic with the beginning of this week than at the same time a week ago.

The Protective Life Insurance company
 is seeking a wider field
 Following the meeting of the board of directors last Friday. at which time a 10 per cent dividend was ordered paid to stockholders out of the years earnings.
 and resolution was passed referring
 to an appropriation for poicy-holders' dividends on an increased basis for the coming year. it was an open secret that other states were soon to be entered
 The company now has developed Ala
 bSma Mississippi, and Texas to point of large and steady returns of new in-
 surance In these three states there are
 some 200 agents under contract, and the
 volume of new business approaches s7 Oa0. oco.o30 a year. Former Governor Jelks. the president of the company, said the opening of additional territory was in way forced upon the company be- cause of the considerable number of re- rponsibe and representative insurance men that are asking for the privilege or representing the company in other states.
 While no decision has as yet been reached it was learned that applications for agencies have been received from Oklahoma. Arkansas, Louisiana Tennes- see. Virginia South Carolina, Georgia and Florida The officers do not st t-is time think it likely that more than one, oi possibly two states will be opened in the rear future. but they point out that over a hundred application for agencies now on hand ought to yield some good ma
 terial, and that an extension of the ousi- ness can be made on favorable terms. Two years ago the resources or the company passed the million mark. OveI year ago the insurance in force passed the ten-mllion mark. and is now in e&- cess of fifteen millions. and this rapid
 growth following the sound condition o' the company. winch has been paying It rcr cent dividends for period of years
