INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Trustees of the Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.
401(k) Savings & Investment Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. 401(k) Savings & Investment Plan (the "Plan")
as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial
statements and the supplemental schedules discussed below are the responsibility
of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules listed in the
table of contents are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are
not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audits of the basic financial statements, and in our opinion,
are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The following description of the Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. 401(k) Savings
& Investment Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general information
purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more
complete information. Terms used in this description have the same meaning
as in the Plan.
The Plan was adopted on April 23, 1987 and commenced activities on October
1, 1987. The purpose of the Plan is to encourage employees to save for
retirement. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").
Subject to exclusions specified in the Plan, any Employee of Merrill Lynch
& Co., Inc. or of a participating subsidiary or affiliate (the "Company"
or "Employer") can elect to participate in the Plan providing such
Employee has worked for the Employer for 12 months. An Employee can elect
to participate in the Plan (if eligible) as of the first day of the
calendar quarter following 12 months of employment or the first day of any
month thereafter.
Each Participant may elect to make contributions to the Plan on a pre-tax
basis through payroll deductions from 1% to 15% of such Participant's
Eligible Compensation for each pay period up to an annual maximum of
$9,500 for 1995 (subject to certain exceptions described in the Plan and
periodic adjustments for cost-of-living increases for each calendar year).
A Participant can elect to change the rate at which his or her
contribution is determined.
The Company will make contributions, up to a maximum of $1,500, in an
amount equal to 50% of the first 4% of Eligible Compensation contributed
by a Participant for each calendar year. No Employer contributions will be
made for any calendar year for Employees who participate at any time
during such calendar year in the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
All Participants are always 100% vested in contributions to the Plan made
from their Eligible Compensation and in amounts rolled over from an
employer's qualified retirement plan. Participants are 100% vested in
Employer contributions when they attain age 65 or terminate employment
because of death.
Other Participants who terminate employment after October 31, 1993 will
become vested in Employer contributions and earnings based on complete
Years of Service after October 1, 1987: 1 Year of Service - 20% vested; 2
Years of Service - 40% vested; 3 Years of Service - 60% vested; 4 Years of
Service - 80% vested; and 5 Years of Service - 100% vested.
The Plan permits withdrawals relating to contributions and earnings under
certain conditions which are in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code
and the regulations thereunder.
As of December 15, 1995, the Puerto Rico 401(k) Plan was merged into the
Plan and its net assets available for benefits were accordingly
transferred into the Plan as of that date.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Plan investments are maintained on a settlement date basis which is not
materially different than the trade date basis. All other accounting
records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any investments in
Vocon and Deferred Profit Sharing Accounts, which are self-directed
Accounts, that were transferred into the Plan for administrative
convenience only.
The cost of security investments is based on the average cost method for
individual securities. Quoted market values of security investments are
based on the last sales price (if traded on December 31), the prevailing
bid price or the prevailing net asset value at the close of trading on
December 31.
3. INVESTMENTS
The Administrative Committee has the authority to designate Investment
Funds for the investment of accounts other than Vocon and Deferred Profit
Sharing Accounts, to determine which accounts can be self-directed and to
establish rules and procedures with respect to investment funds and
self-directed accounts.
All contributions to the Plan may be allocated among from one to four
investments selected by the Participant from among the investments
designated by the Administrative Committee.
During 1995 and 1994, the Plan's investments (including investments
bought, sold and held during each year) appreciated/(depreciated) in value
as follows:
Years Ended December 31,
1995 1994
Net change in fair value of investments:
Common stock $ 53,356,927 $ (22,623,197)
Funds and trusts 131,727,315 (41,152,684)
------------ --------------
$185,084,242 $ (63,775,881)
============ ==============
4. ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Plan expenses, including expenses of the Administrative Committee and
Trustee, to the extent not paid by the Plan, are paid by the Company.
5. PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the
right under the Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of
ERISA.
6. TAX STATUS
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a
letter dated July 13, 1995, that the Plan and related trust are designed
in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code
("IRC"). The Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is
currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of
the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the
Plan's financial statements.
