| NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The state
ment that John D. Rockefeller now
holds no securities outside of mis-
! Standard Oil certificates is ridiculej
by interests familiar 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 tc
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 con-
tains only small percentage of Mr.
Rockefeller's wealth.
Richest in All the World.
1t is declared that the valuation of
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 represent
4
corporation, the Standard Oil company,
in an official capacity. If John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., regains his health 1t
is more than likely that he will repre-
sent his father on the directories of
many more companies than ne does at
present.
Income Over $100,000,O00.
John D. Rockefeller's income from
the Standard Oil company has exceed
ed $780, 900 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 he
has elected business associates to rep
resent him on the board of concerns
whenever his holdings justified such
action.
