Mr.. Rockefeller's wealth has piled up
so astonishingly that even the great
money kings of Wall street are marvel
ing. His available cash has become
such a factor in Wall street, that ac-

change. Mr.. Rockefeller can put up
stocks or put them down as he chooses.
No combination is strong enough in
Wall street to defeat his plans.

pears to be a chance for honest men,
including the Chinese, to get their dues.
