The OH Tract Declare* a Dividend ol fight Per Cent.?18,000,000 Will 1!< Distributed Among the Stockholder* ?John L>. Rockefeller'* Share of tin Profit*?He Kecelve* 8104,383 a Day Nnm V/\rlr flit-ir fSnof>lnU 1TllP Stnn? dard Oil Company of New Jersey, the Standard Oil Trust, has declared a dividend of eight per cent. \>n the capital stock of $100,000,000. This is the third dividend to be declared-this year. The first dividend was paid on March 1"?, of twenty per cent.; the second on June 15, of ten per cent., and the third will be paid September 15. This makes a total since March, 1899, of seventy-one per ceat, or about $71,000,000, or more than two-thirds of the capital of almost $100,000,000. And it is expected that one more quarterly dividend will be paid. Some persons thought that ten pel cent, would have been declared had it not been for the Bayonne fire, that cost alout $1,500,000. That fire was disregarded by the Standard Oil managers. The loss of one or two millions of dollars was expected. The company does not ifcsure its property, but sets aside so much of its earnings to pay fire losses. Dividends are distributed regardless of the profit or loss in that account. Tlie wealth of John D. Rockefeller, president, of the Standard Oil Compnuy, is growing at a rate incomprehensible to the average mind. He is being submerged in his downpour of riches. He could not dodge the steady, persistent influx of wealth If he wished. Every instant the clock ticks off a second, day and night, Sundays and holidays, he gets more money than the average man earns in a week. He owns thirty-one per cent, of the capital stock of the Standard Oil Company of New'Jersey. This Is merely the parent corporation of the Innumerable subsidiary companies which compose the trust.* Each of these companies makes its own profits and the trust gets its share from the ownership of stock in them. The trust owns fifty-one per cent, of tne SIOCK Ol an tuese sunsiuwiry companies, and it has made $38,000,000 so far this year out of that ownership. The remaining forty-nine per cent, of the stock of the subsidiary companies is owned by John D. Rockefeller outright in addition to his thirty-one per cent inter.est in the parent corporation. His share of the dividends so far declared this year by the parent trust is $11,780,000. His .forty-nine per cent, share of the profits of the subsidiary companies is ?oG,510.000, making in all $48,290,000 that he has received so far this year from his Interests in oil. But this man's wealth is so great that the oil iudstry, immense as it is, is not large enough to employ his riches. He owns an interest in innumerable railroads, banks, insurance and trust companies, mining corporations and industrial enterprises. His investments in these corporawill l*lo fnfr? 1 {nnnmn fliio IiUIia um UUUJj UIO lUiiu ui\.uiuv V?.?i7 rear up to at least $G0,000,000, and perhaps to $75,000,000.
