E1PRsss EXTENSION our readers have
heard Of the new Express Company lately
projected and just being put in opSeation-
ths Merchants Union" Quite On amount
Of stock in the company has been taken in
this city, and Of course our people are ister-
sstsd in ito welfare. In fact, every busi-
ness man who patronizes IN express is in.
terested in it. The new company has caus>
Cd quite fiutter among the old ones. The
American has suddenly reduced its rates
one>half on oil routes over which tho Mer-
chants Union now runs. The Rochester
Union reports the agents Of the American
operating in thst city, to secure contracts,
agreeing to carry freight cheaper than any
other company. The Adams and Harnden's
Express ere said to be backing the Ameri-
can. The United States" Company has
gone further. It has issued . circular to its
superin' n'endents and agents directing them
TO have no business relations with the new
company. directly or indirectly; to reseive
no express matter from 1t, nor deliver any
to it. whether paid or unpaid, consigned OF
unconsigned, 1t also ,nstructs them to res
tain the business, BY cutting rates to such a
figure Is may be necessary. on oil routes
where the Merchants Union Express comes
in competition. and to maintais rates a. bs>
fore upon the routes whsre there i no compe-
tition.
The intention Of these old companies 10 e
break down and drive out the new comer.-
That done. the old extortionate rates for ex.
prcssages is to be restored. The "Ner-
chants Union was called into existence ID
consequence Of this extreme, and the only
