RICHEST OF LIVING MEN.
John d. Rockefeller Connts His Wcaltl
by the Hundreds of Millions.

John ID. Rockefeller Counts His Wealth
by the Hundreds of Millions.
1t is probable that the wealth Of
John ID. Rockefeller has been esti-
mated It too high 4 figure. Still. the
fact remains that by calculating from
the size Of the dividends lie receives
from the corporations in which he is
interested it is possible to arrive at
aG approximately correct estimate Of
his fortune. A business man closely
associated with Mr.. Rockefeller and
said to be in Il position to know is
quoted as asserting that Mr.. ROckefel-
Ter is now by far the richest man in
the world, worth more than twice as
much as any other American citizen.
His Standard Oil stock, at the market
rates. is worth S50O,O00,000. from
which alone for several years he has
received dividends of $40,000,000 per
annum. or Il little less than S1,00O,000
week. Besides this he has other
sources of income that brirg him
about 100000 year, so hat his
total income from all sources is not
less than S75.0OO,000 year. as it has
been for several years, and there is no
suggestion of check to the enormous
inflow.
That is to say, Mr.. Rockefeller's in
come for a single year is more than
the enormous fortune left by William
H. Vanderbilt to his sons. In ten
years Mr.. ROckefeller's wealth will
be nearly $1,000 100000 from his an
nual income alone. At the moment, it
is said, he can lay his hand on more
ready cash than any ten men in New
York, including Russell Sage and the
Vanderbilts and Goulds.
There are, of course, n dozen ser.
mons in the flood of gold pouring into
ROckefeller's Golfers. How long will
it be before he will have Il corner on
the wealth of the United States? Is
such enormous power concentrated
into the hands of one man a good
thing for the public interests? Do not
content in the masses. Should there
be a legal limit to private fortunes?
These are but few Of the queries that
suggest themselves. There are 9th
ers equally serious that will occur to
those who read of Mr.. Rockefeller's
ricbes-which riches he can never see
and never enjoy in the sense that an
average man in well-to-dO circum-
stances enjoys his property. What
can the man possibly want of SO much
money Savannah News.

Mixed trade and crop conditions still

expansion. Lower prices for cereals
point the way to future large business
and induce a larger foreign interest in

is the improvement of collections West
