End of the Express War.

A few days ago we published the
announcementeof an Arrangement en-
tered into by the competing Express
Companies, by which the war, which
had been waged. SO fercely, was ter
minated, and a mutual consolida-
ton accomplished. The result of the
controversy is substantial triumph
of the Merchants Union, as far as its
life and future. successful operations
-are4c5ncerned.- But as the old tariff OF
rates, existing before the controversy
commenced, is to be restored, we
deubt-very much if the public is to
reap any substantial benefit from the
contest, so unexpectedly terminated.
1t appears that there is to be division
of territory, the limits cf which
are not yet announced; also, diYis-
ion of earnings, the abandonment of
competition. and general reduction
of expenses. The earnings are to be
divided as follows: Adams, %; Mer-'
chants Union, 263; American, IS
1t is stated that in the controversy,
the Merchants Union sunk over
100000; yet its stock is now selling
at about $50, being 81 per share more
than was paid in: and that it is now
able to pay back its subscribers So
per share, and have ample working
capital remaining. The American
and United States lost largely. The
Adams alone was enabled to keep up
the contest without drawing upon its
accumulated capital. Previous to the
war the stock of the old companies
sold at 120 to 125. They are now
about 80; but will doubtless soon re-
sumo dividends. NrtN
