DRY DOCK TOTAKE 1, ,4OO-M|LE TOW ID
 PORT OF MOBILE
Growing Business at Gulf Ports to Be Prepared For by Todd Dry
 Dock Company

Increase in shipping business at port of Mobile and the generally bright. prospects of business at gulf ports has caused the Todd Ship yards corporation. which recently purchased the properties of the Mo bile shi touilding company. to ar- range for the floating to Mobile of 10000 ton dry dock.
 This will be added to the facilities at the purchased plant. which 1t is proposed to enable to handle any kind of craft plying gulf waters. Ar rangements for towing the dry dock from New York to Mobile have been completed and the tow will soon leave for the gulf
 Of plans of the Todd concern at Mobile and gulf shipping business the Journal of Commerce, a high au- thority, says
 Tn addition to installing the float ing drydock to be sent from New York, 1t was announced here yester- day that a large sum would be cx- pended in making the Mobile yards capable of taking care of any ship that uses gulf waters. The present yards will be enlarged. among the Improvements to be started at an early date being a new slip 600 feet long. In addition, 1t was announced a 500-foot pier will be built along the slip.
 The investment by the Todd Cor poration in the Mobile shipyard and the early addition to its facilities was said by interested shipping men to be an expression of confidence on the part of this company in the early, return of normal shipping con ditions. The gulf business has shown gratifying increase in stability and generally at all the ports from Flor ida to Texas there has been reported gradual increase of operating lines and steamship service.
 Trade with Mexico. Cuba and Cen tral America centering In the gulf district is shown by latest commercial reports to be well back to prey standards, and in many cases in creased business is shown. Accord ing to a representative of the Todd Corporation. the coming to the gulf of the larger ships to carry the car goes of cotton and other southern staples has created a demand for in- creasing shipyard facilities"
