Wells Fargo & Co. reported yesterday that Citigroup Inc. has dropped its bid for Wachovia Corp. The move leaves Wells on track to complete a stock-swap acquisition by the end of this year. Combined, W&W originated nearly $80 billion during the second quarter, well above the $58 billion in residential third-quarter production reported by Bank of America Corp. -- including volume from recently acquired Countrywide Financial Corp. The merged entity could wind up as the No. 1 U.S. mortgage lender.
