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, 1998 and 1997 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 present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 1998
and 1997 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. These schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Such
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 when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

THE MERRILL LYNCH & CO., INC.
401(k) SAVINGS & INVESTMENT PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 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 month 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% through 15% of such
        Participant's Eligible Compensation for each pay period up to an annual
        maximum of $10,000 and $9,500 for 1998 and 1997, respectively (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
        at any time during the year.

        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 during 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 completed
        Years of Service: 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.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a 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 by the Participant among the
    investments designated by the Administrative Committee.

    At December 31, 1998, there were 65 investment options available in the
    Plan. This includes 7 core investment options, 54 noncore investment options
    and Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. common stock.

    During 1998 and 1997, the Plan's investments (including investments bought,
    sold and held during each year) (depreciated) appreciated in value as
    follows:

                                                  Years Ended December 31,
                                                    1998             1997

     Net change in fair value of investments:

                                                ------------    ------------

    The value of individual investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan's
    net assets at December 31 are as follows:

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.

7.  PLAN MERGER

    In December 1998, amounts attributable to profit-sharing contributions were
    transferred from a trust established under the Smith New Court Inc.
    Retirement Savings Plan (the "SNC Plan") to a trust established under the
    Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. Retirement Accumulation Plan. The SNC Plan was
    then merged with and into the Plan and the remaining amounts held under the
    SNC Plan, totaling $7,250,873, were transferred to the trust established
    under the Plan.

8.  DIVESTITURE OF PLAN ASSETS

    As a result of the recapitalization of Lender's Service, Inc. ("LSI") on
    June 12, 1998, certain employees of LSI no longer qualified as active
    participants under the Plan. The vested account balances for those employees
    under the Plan, totaling $1,645,585, were transferred in January of 1999 to
    a trust established under LSI's 401(k) Plan.
