| New York, Sept. 23.-The statement
that John ID. Rockefeller now holds no
securities outside of his Standard Oil
| cert ifcates is ridiculed bv interests ia
miliar with his affairs The fact that
Mr.. Rockefeller carries very few stocks
| in his own name is about the only basis
for the reports that his holdings are
now confined to Standard Oil.
Mr.. Rockefeller has under lease one
of the largest compartments of the
Standard Safe Deposit company. The
valuation of the securities in this COM
partment is large, although it contains
only small percentage of Mr.. Rookie
| feller's wealth.
the securities held by John d. Rookie
Teller is larger than those possessed by
any other individual in the world OF
late years Mr.. Rockefeller has been de-
voting little attention to business af
fairs. His vast security holdings are
virtually in the hands of his represen-
tatives. He is identified with only one
corporation, the Standard Oil company,
in an official capacity. If John ID.
Rockefeller, Jr., regains his health it
= ho
sent his afther on the directorates of
many more companies than he does at
present.
John D. Rockefeller's income from
the Standard Oil company has exceed
ed 800 100000 within the last eight
years, and his income from other cor
porations in which he is interested is
said to be equally as large.
He has invested his income almost
as rapidly as he receives it, and has
him on the board of concerns whenever
his holdings justified such action.
Following are few of the companies
that have on their boards representa-
tives of the Standard Oil company:
