     fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for
     the three months ended September 30, 1994 are not
     necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
     for the year ending June 30, 1995.  For further information,
     refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
     included in the Company's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  

          The June 30, 1994 condensed balance sheet data was

     include all disclosures required by generally accepted
     accounting principles.

 2.  Earnings Per Common Share
     -------------------------
          Earnings per common share are computed by dividing net
     income (less preferred dividends net of tax benefits) by the
     weighted average number of common shares and common share
     equivalents outstanding during the period.

 3.  Inventories, continued
     -----------
          The current cost of LIFO-valued inventories was $169.9
     million at September 30, 1994 and $165.8 million at June 30,
     1994.  Reduction in LIFO-valued inventories resulted in an
     increase in net income of approximately $2.1 million or $.26
     per share for the three months ended September 30, 1993.  

 4.  Acquisition of Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries
     ----------------------------------------
          On July 22, 1994, the Company acquired all of the
     outstanding shares of Certech, Inc., and an affiliated
     company, for $16.6 million, including acquisition costs,
     comprised of $13.4 million in cash and 53,124 shares of
     treasury common stock.  Certech manufactures a broad line
     of complex injection molded ceramics parts.  

          The acquisition has been accounted for using the
     purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the purchase
     price has been allocated to the assets purchased and the
     liabilities assumed based upon the preliminary estimated
     fair values at the date of acquisition.  The excess of
     purchase price over the preliminary estimated fair values of
     the net assets acquired was approximately $10 million and
     has been recorded as intangible assets and goodwill.

          As previously reported, on July 28, 1993, the Company
     acquired all of the outstanding shares of Aceros Fortuna, 
     S.A. de C.V., a Mexican steel distribution company, and
     two affiliated companies.

          The operating results of these acquired businesses have
     been included in the Consolidated Statement of Income from
     the dates of acquisition.  On the basis of a pro forma
     combination of the results of operations as if the
     acquisitions had taken place at the beginning of fiscal
     1994, combined net sales would have been approximately
     $158 million and $135 million for the quarters ended
     September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  Combined pro
     forma net income and earnings per share would not have been
     materially different from the reported amounts for both
     periods.  Such pro forma amounts are not necessarily
     indicative of what the actual combined results of operations
     might have been if the acquisitions had been effective at the
     beginning of fiscal 1994.



 
 5.  Debt Arrangements
     -----------------
          During the quarter ended September 30, 1994, the
     Company issued $40.0 million of medium-term debt securities
     with a 7.66% average interest rate under a Form S-3
     registration statement ("Shelf Registration") on file with
     the Securities and Exchange Commission.  On October 5, 1994,
     the Company issued an additional $10.0 million of medium-
     term debt securities with a 7.75% interest rate.  The 
     proceeds were used to retire borrowings under credit
     arrangements.



    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
    -----------------------------------------------------------
     Net income for the quarter was $4.9 million or $.55 per
share versus $2.8 million or $.30 per share in the same quarter
last year.  The improved results were primarily due to higher
sales volume.  In addition, earnings last year were adversely
affected by a one-time charge of $1.5 million, or $.19 per share,
to increase net deferred tax liabilities for a change in the
U.S. corporate income tax rate.

     Sales were $156.1 million, a 21 percent increase over the
$129.4 million last year.  The increase in sales was primarily a 
result of the higher shipment levels, particularly of stainless 
bar and wire products to the automotive and equipment manufacturers.  
Steel Division unit volume shipments were up 15 percent compared 
with the year-ago period.  Sales and profits were also improved by 
the inclusion of the results of Certech, Inc. and Aceros Fortuna 
S.A., which were acquired on July 22, 1994 and July 28, 1993, 
respectively.

     Cost of sales as a percent of net sales increased from 75
percent in last year's first fiscal quarter to 78 percent in the
current year's first quarter.  Last year's cost of sales was
favorably impacted because of an inventory reduction program and
the use of the LIFO inventory valuation method which reduced
costs by $3.3 million before taxes or $.26 per share after taxes. 
In addition, raw material costs were 23 percent higher in this
year's first fiscal quarter versus last year's first fiscal
quarter.

     Interest costs decreased by $2.3 million versus the same
period last year.  This was primarily due to increased
capitalized interest costs during the pre-operating period of
Walsin-CarTech Specialty Steel Corporation, a joint venture with
Walsin Lihwa Corporation.  Additionally, the Company replaced
high interest cost debt with lower interest cost borrowings in 
the March 1994 quarter.
