Item 5.  Other Events
- ---------------------


     Filed herewith is the Preliminary Unaudited Earnings Summary, as contained
in a press release dated April 18, 1995, for Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. ("ML &
Co.") for the three-month period ended March 31, 1995.  The results of
operations set forth therein for the three-month period ended March 31, 1995 are
unaudited.  All adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, that
are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
results of operations for the period presented have been included.  The nature
of ML & Co.'s business is such that the results for any interim period are not
necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.
