William Rockefeller Is Buying In the
 Cheap Securities.
 New York, March 15--In response to an inquiry from the Associated Press, Mir. William Rockefeller said:
 The present astonishing decline in the values of securities i. as much a mystery to me as it can be to any one. I know that public confidence has been disturbed but I do not think that it should have been In any such measure as to justify so great 8 fall in prices With genuine overwhelming prosper ity throughout the country. there cer- tainly seems no adequate reason for it.
 As for myself and my associates. our faith in the future of the country has not been shaken at all. and we have been buyers and not sellers throughout the past ten days. Throughout these troubles we have done, and are doing. all we can to restore and maintain pub lie confidence 1t is very clear to me that the people who are throwing away their securities at panic prices will surely regret 1t within the next six months"

MARKET CLOSED BoUYANT

Ndw York, March l5 An unusual scene was enacted on the floor of the stock exchange today just after the market had closed strong and buoyant in sharp contrast to the sharp demor- alization of yesterday.
 Brokers gathered around tbe trading posts and cheered loudly in demon- stration of their relief and satisfac- ton at today's change in speculative sentiment from the panicky feeling of yesterday. Congratulations were ex- changed all around the room on the fact that the members without ex- ception had successfully passed through the severe declines of the past two weeks and hoSes were gen orally expressed that the worst was over
 A feature of the day was a state- ment by William Rockefeller.
 Today's stock market opened very strong at much higher prices than yesterdays closing figures. Reading leading with a rise of eleven points. Ama1gamated copper and Union Pa- ciffc also buoyantly strong and with Reading led practically the whole list in a sharp upward movement. There was the usual reactions but the tone held relatively strong. It was known in Wall street that bankers had reached their offices early and that careful investigation of the sit- nation did not reveal any cause of anxiety as to the solvency of any banking of brokerage houses.
 This knowledge had much effect on sentiment and together with the an- nouneement of government relief for the money market made late yesterday afternoon gave the traders confidence that the situation threatened TO grave danger and that the money market would be able to care for all legitimate reforms. The trading continued act i've with the tone firm throughout even the fifteen money rate being of little effect.
 At the close the market leaders showed the following advances from yesterdays close.

Great soda Fountaia Drink

On account of the wonderful sale which Coca-Cola has throughout the country, much has been said concern hng this delightful beverage, regarding It's properties healthful and otherwise Hono ardent temperance people nave oven gone so far as to claim that this soda fountain beverage contained alco- hol. These comments in some locali- ties were of such a nature thac a few of the city health boards, and in one or two instances, the state board. and even some newspapers have taken it up. 1t is gratifying to know that this great southern drink has been able to show a clean bill of health wherever 1t has been investigated.
 Recently, the New Orleans Picayune had Coca-CoLa analysed and after learning the result of the analyses, they published Q two-column article en- dorsing the healthful proerties of this famous soda fountain drink. Dr. j. C. Aaims, a distinguished chemist of New Orleans, submitted to the board of health of that city the following report which was published by the Picayune:
 This is to certify that I have pur- chased in open market a quantity of coca-cola syrup and submitted same to analysis After careful examination I find that it fails to show the pres ence of alcohol, cocaine or other in furious alkalotds
 Ihle syrup contains the alkalotd caf- fein in the proportion of one and six ty-four hundredths q .64 Grs,) o grains
 caffeln Is the aIkaloid found in tea. coffee, etc., and the quantity present in one bottle of Coca-Cola is less than that contained in a cup of strong cof- fee.
 Chemist Board of Health, City of New Orleans.
 Tn addition to this Dr. A L. Metz of the Tulane University and chemist of national reputation. submitted quite an exhaustive analysis in which he said:
 There is absolutely nothing in Co., ca-Cola any more injurious than Is found in ordinary tea or coffee"
 pr. McCandles. State Chemist for Georgia, in making his analysis wrote as follows:
 have purchased in the open market a Mampls of Coca-Cola syrup and sub or "tW instances, the state board, and find therein no trace of the alkaloid cocaine, for which have made special search, and nothing of nature any more injurious than would be derived from 6ofSss SanAns an oVEHs Very tSuiy iSpp or tea or 00'iS" JOHN M MccANDLEss
 Such distinguished chemists as pr. Louis Schafer of New York, and pr. W. L. Cliffe of Philadelphia, have an- alyzed Coca-Cola and reported most favorable on the healthfuI properties of Coca Cola. In view of the unquali- fled endorsements of Coca-Cola there can be no questions as to it's delightful and refreshing properties as claimed by the manufacturers.

 In reference to the present railroad situation, he said.
 "The railroads and the people will be brought nearer together. The welfare of one Is indissolubly connected with the success of the other. President Roosevelt did not bring about the mud dle; he simple recognized earlier than most others whither we were drift ing.
 By the wise course he has taken he has rendered great service to the peo- pie and to the corporations themselves. The lesson will be valuable to the cor poration manages in the future"
