ERPESSSTOKS RSE ON BELIEF COMPANIES WILL QUT BUSINES Losing Niky ke Against Parcel Post, and Assets Would Make a Melon to Be Divided. Express company aibcks jumped up @n the Biock Exchange to-day in the face of decreased earnings and oper- ating deficits, The prospect that these close corporations may decide te dissolve and distribute their ac- cumulations of profits aroused specu- lative interest. Officers ofthe United States Ex- Press Company refused to deny or @@rm reports of impending voluntary Mquigation, although in well informed @uarters eventual dissolution was Considered inevitable. : Dormant express stocks that for months have been steadily sinking revived with a rush to-day. Adams) Express advanced five points and sold at par. Welle Fargo advanced two points and sold at $88. United States, which had ita jump up during the past few days, maintained its price around $71 a share. Reports of express operations for the month of November, the latest for which figures have been compiled, were made through the Interstate| Commerce Commission. These show | the following results of express oper- ations only: American Epress, decrease of $487,000 in gross and deficit of $18,000 | from operation. Adams Express, decrease of $287,000 im gross and deficit of $44,000 in net from operation. United States Express, decrease of | $985,000 in gross and deficit of $22,000 im net from operation. Wells Fargo Express, decrease of) $435,000 in grose, This company was the only one showing an operating net profit for the month, amounting to $126,000, but even this was a de- Grease of $73,000. Although the express companies are losing on operations, they all have large investments in railroad and boot securities which bring them a revenue, so they are in no deaber of hie broke. Only the ex- press business is unprofitable on ac- count of the parcel post competition.

EL PASO, Texus, March 3.--Mem-| | bers of the Benton investigating com- mission did not know to-day whether they were to proceed to Chihuahua or not. They awaited instructions from Washington. Should it be de- cided to proceed with the investiga- tion, the commission will make the wip to Chihuahua on a special train which yesterday brought Marion letomer, American Consul at Chi- huabua, to this city. The train is! being held in readiness across the river at Juarez. ‘The commissioners entertained but alight hope that the proposed inves- would reveal the manner of | Benton's death at the hands of Cen. Villa. It is the belief of many here that if the Briton’s body is not in an advanced stage of decomposition it probably has been mutilated by chemicals. Great importance was believed to attach to the conference scheduled to-day at Nogales, Mex. -between Gen. Carranza and George C. Ca- rothers, special agent of the Ameri- ean State Department. Carothers loft here last night and was due at No- Aris., to-day. His mission is secret, but there is little doubt that it refers to Carransa’s recent refusal to negotiate with the United States Gov- ernment regarding the execution of Benton. It is reported Carothera will attempt to induce Carranza and his eabinet to come to Juarez for a con- ference to hasten the solution of the Renton problem. Carothers knows Carranga personally and may exert that influence in bis mission.
