EXPRESS MERGER EXPECTED.
United States and WeIls-FarEo
Companies May Unite.

New York, Feb S.-Action taken to-day
by the board OF directors OF the United
States Express Company probably indl-
Gates the early merger OF that concern
with the wells-Fargo Company.
At the meeting Of the board the Harri-
man interests in the United States COM
pany were further strengthened by the
election of four of the seven members
of the board. This gives the, Hartman
estate quite as dominant control Of the
United States company as il has Of the
WeIls-Fargo. The men elected are c. c.
TegethOff, for years confidential secre-
tary OF the late E. III. Hartman; Joseph
W. Hartman, president of the Hartman
National Bank and nephew OF the great
railroad magnate; A. G. Hackstaff. vice
president OF the Illinois Central Railroad,
and william =. Averill. vice president of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
One Of the newly elected directors ad-
mitted tonight that the securing control
of the United States Express Company
by the Hartman interests meant that
in the near future IL viii be absorbed by
the Wells-Fargo Express Company.

WALL STREET NEWS
Market Opens Firm, but Heavy
Selling of Steel and Union Pa
cifc Causes Depression.
By THoMAs c. sHoTwELL.

New York, Feb. S-victory of the con-
servative Democrats at Washington In
the fight over an investigation Of the al
legged money trust" gave the stock mar
ket a firm opening to-day. But almost
immediate heavy selling of Steel made its
appearance and Union Pacific was hand
cd out in liberal volume. This depressed
the market and it turned heavy. Publi-
cation by the Copper Producers Asso-
ciation of the fact that the supply Of
metal on hand at the end Of January was
g, ,17I,052 pounds smaller than at the end
of December started a rally that was in
progress at the close.
Gold to the amount of S2,0O0.0 900 was en-
gagged for export to Paris, half a million
was taken for South America and mil
lion of San Francisco. This makes S.
100000 for Paris on the movement and
S2,5OOoO0 fo- South America. This move
ment of gold caused a slight furry in
money. The call money market was
also unusually active because Kuhn, Loeb
d Co., called in S15,O00,O0O from brokers'
to pay for an issue Of Chicago and
Northwestern Railway bonds, taken by
the firm. Late In the day, however, an
nouncement was made that this entire is
sue had been disposed OF.
Tobacco stocks were extremely irregu-
lar. Common stock of the American To-
baceo Company broke ten points. rallied
ten and then declined one. Liggett &
Myers stock swung between III and 169
and P. Dorillsrd had a swing between
10 and lse. On the curb British-Ameri-
can made new high record at 2lls, then
declined to 1917.
Copper metal supplies in the hands of
original producers have now been re-
duced TO 66, ,2soe43 pounds, which is 76,15s,-
S47 pounds less than on the same date
last year. The amount on hand now is
enough to supply the world only about
twenty days. Producers are maintaining
the price at around 1414 cents. The ad-
vance, therefore, OF nearly three points
to-day in AmaIgamated proper was sta
iisticaily justified. Utah Copper and
Miami were strong. On the curb stock
of the New Inspiration Company sold up
to IS SIS
Rumor was not idle. 1t was busy with
an alleged defalcation Of about 1000, 900
in the st. Paul Railroad. This was Of
ficiaIly denied. 1t said that the Ameri-
can Woolen Company would make a
surprisingly good report for the year just
closed. If the company earns per cent
or the preferred stock that will be sur
prising good, but if the public expects
much more 1t is liable TO be dis
appointed. Another rumor concerning
the Union Pacific dividend was quickly
put out of business by declaration Of the
regular payment on both Union and Pa
Cific and Southern Pacific.
Probing of the money trust even by
the conservatives in Congress does not
Please Wall street much. Perhaps one
reason is that the New York Stock EX-
Change Is to be investigated The ex-
change has little to fear, for it has been
reforming itself rapidly in the last few
years. But persons looking for trouble
will be able to find it in several dlrec-
