Computation of Shares:

 Weighted average number of shares outstanding,
  excluding shares held in treasury (a)                157.9         159.5

 Net shares resulting from the assumed exercise of
  certain stock options (b)                              1.9*          2.6*

 Shares potentially issuable under compensation plans     .1*            -*

 Total common shares and common share equivalents      159.9         162.1

Earnings per Share                                     $1.90         $1.92



Notes to Exhibit 11:

(a) Computed as the weighted average of net shares outstanding on stock-
    exchange trading days.

(b) Common share equivalents are computed by the "treasury stock" method.
    This method first determines the number of shares issuable under stock
    options that had an option price below the average market price for the
    period, and then deducts the number of shares that could have been
    repurchased with the proceeds of options exercised.
     
 *  Common share equivalents are not material.  As a result, earnings per
    share have been computed using the weighted average number of shares
    outstanding of 157.9 million and 159.5 million for the first six months
    of fiscal 1995 and 1994, respectively.
