 The conract between Wells, Fargo X Co.'S Express Company and the Southern Pacific will expire within less than two months. It is report ed that at least half dozen similar concerns, including the Adams Ex- press Company, will become bid ders for the privileges. The latter company, it is we'll known, has hitherto made fierce attempts to es- tablish itself on the Pacific Coast, and If Wells, Fargo is not to become an institution of the past within a short time, it will surely be at the price of considerable pecuniary sacrifices. It would be a pity to see this common carrier which has done the expressage on this coast for nearly half a century, although the decrease in the carrying trade makes such an event not an impOssibility.
