                  Report of Independent Auditors



Committee for Employee Benefits Administration
M.A. Hanna Company Capital Accumulation
  Plan and Trust


We  have  audited the accompanying statements of net  assets
available  for  plan  benefits of  the  M.A.  Hanna  Company Capital
Accumulation Plan and Trust as of December 31,  1993 and 1992, and
the related statement of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for the year ended December  31, 1993.  These financial
statements 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, the financial statements referred to  above present
fairly, in all material respects,  the  net  assets available for
plan benefits of the Plan at December 31, 1993 and  1992,  and the
changes in its net assets available  for plan  benefits  for  the
year ended December  31,  1993,  in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our  audits were made for the purpose of forming an  opinion on  the
basic financial statements taken as a  whole.   The accompanying
supplemental  schedules  of  assets  held  for investment  as  of
December 31, 1993, and  transactions  or series  of  transactions in
excess of five  percent  of  the current  value of plan assets for
the year then  ended,  are presented  for purposes of complying with
the Department  of Labor's  Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under  the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, and   are  not  a  required  part  of  the  basic  financial
statements.  The supplemental schedules have been  subjected to  the
auditing procedures applied in our audit of the 1993 financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly  stated in  all  material
respects in relation to  the  1993  basic financial statements taken
as a whole.

         M.A. Hanna Company Capital Accumulation Plan and Trust

                     Notes to Financial Statements

                       December 31, 1993 and 1992


A. Significant Accounting Policies

The  accounting records of the Capital Accumulation Plan and Trust
(the Plan) are maintained on the accrual basis.

The change in the difference between fair value and cost  of
investments is reflected in the statement of changes in  net assets
 available   for   plan   benefits   as   unrealized appreciation
(depreciation).

The  Wells  Fargo Collective Investment Funds ("the  Funds") invest
in units of Wells Fargo Institutional Trust  Company ("WFITC")
Collective Trust Funds for Employee Benefit Trusts ("the   Master
Funds")  which  have   similar   investment objectives to the Funds.
The Funds also invest in the Money Market Fund as a short-term
investment vehicle.

Effective  July  2,  1993, certain  Wells  Fargo  Collective
Investment  Funds  were  converted to  the  Stagecoach  Inc. mutual
funds of Wells Fargo ("the Funds").

Wells  Fargo  Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo") is the Trustee  and
Investment  Manager of the Funds.  WFITC is the Trustee  and
Investment   Manager  of  the  Master  Funds  and   receives
investment   advice  from  Wells  Fargo   Nikko   Investment
Advisors.

The   following  is  a  summary  of  significant  accounting
policies consistently followed by Wells Fargo:

Fund Valuation

Valuation of the Funds' units occurs daily.  Unit  values    are
determined by dividing the value of each Fund's  net    assets  by
the  number  of  units  outstanding  on   the    valuation date.


Units of the Master Funds are valued on the basis of  the    unit
value  established by WFITC for each fund  at  each    valuation
date.



The  Bond  Index  Fund  invests in  units  of  the  WFITC
Government/Corporate  Bond  Index  Fund   ("Bond   Master    Fund").
The  Bond  Master  Fund's  units  are   valued    approximately
once  every five  business  days  ("Master    Fund  Valuation
Date").  Daily valuations  of  the  Bond    Master  Fund are
calculated by adjusting its  unit  value    on  the  most  recent
Master  Fund  Valuation  Date  for    subsequent    changes    in
 the    Lehman     Brothers    Government/Corporate Bond Index.


Valuation of Investments

Securities traded on securities exchanges are  valued  at    the
last reported sales price on the valuation date,  or    in  the
absence of any sales, at the last  reported  bid    price on the
valuation date.  Securities traded over-the-    counter  are  valued
at  the  final  bid  price  on  the    valuation date.  Securities
not traded are valued on  the    basis  of  quotations from pricing
services or securities    dealers.

U.S.  Treasury obligations are valued daily at  the  mean    of bid
and ask prices.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment  transactions are accounted for on  the  trade    date.
Dividend income is recognized on the  ex-dividend    date,  and
interest income is recognized on the  accrual    basis.   The cost
of investments sold is computed  on  an    average cost basis.

B. Description of the Plan

The  following description of the Plan provides only general
information.   Participants  should  refer   to   the   Plan
agreement  for  a more complete description  of  the  Plan's
provisions.

The  Plan  is a defined contribution plan and is offered  to
salaried  associates  of  M.A.  Hanna  Company  and  certain
associated  companies  who  have  completed  six  months  of
continuing service.



The  purpose of this Plan is to provide these employees with an
opportunity  to accumulate savings for their  retirement while at
the same time providing withdrawal features due  to early
termination  or retirement.  The terms  of  the  Plan permit
eligible associates to contribute after-tax  dollars from  1%  to
14% each month through payroll deductions  and provide  for matching
contributions (up to 7-1/2%  of  their salary)  by their respective
employer.  50% of the  employer matching contribution is
automatically invested in the  M.A. Hanna  Stock  Fund.   The
remaining  50%  is  allocated  in accordance with the participant's
election .

Participants  are fully vested in their account  balance  at all
times.

Employer  contributions become vested  at  the  end  of  the
calendar  year in which the contributions are made  provided the
participant is employed on the last day of the calendar year.
Nonvested  contributions  forfeited  by  terminated employees  serve
to  reduce  contributions  made   by   the respective participating
companies.

A  separate  account  is maintained for  each  participating
employee which shows that participant's interest in each  of the
funds.  Subject to certain limitations, an employee can make a
voluntary withdrawal from the account at any time.

Upon  termination  of service, a participant  may  elect  to receive
either a lump-sum equal to the value of his  or  her account,  or
periodic installments over  a  period  not  to exceed the life
expectancy of the participant and his or her spouse.

The  Company reserves the right to terminate or  modify  the Plan.
 In the event of a complete termination of the  Plan, all
participant  accounts become 100% vested  and  the  net assets  of
the Plan are to be set aside for distribution  to Plan  participants
in  a  manner elected  by  each  and  as permitted  under  the
provisions of  the  Plan.   The  Plan administrator  has  received
notice that  the  Plan  is  not covered by the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation.

C. Transactions with Parties-in-Interest

All expenses of administering the Plan are ratably shared by M.A.
Hanna  Company and the other participating  companies. Investment
management fees are paid by participants in  that management  fees
reduce the investment return  reported  and credited to
participants.




D. Investments


The individual investments that reresent 5% or more of the fair value of
net assets available for plan  benefits  at December 31, 1993 and 1992 are:

Money Market Fund                                   2,553,931

E. Income Tax Status

The  Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) has ruled  that  the Plan
qualifies under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code  and
that the Trust is exempt under Section 501(a)  of the Internal
Revenue Code and is, therefore, not subject  to tax  under present
income tax laws.  Continued qualification of  the  Plan  depends
upon timely adoption and  operational application  of certain
amendments required as a  result  of the  Tax  Reform  Act of 1986
(the Act).  In  the  Company's opinion,  the  Plan  is  operating in
compliance  with  the applicable provisions of the Act.  A
determination has  been requested from the IRS as to the
qualification of the  Plan, with  respect to amendments required as
a result of the Act. The  Company is not aware of any course of
action or  series of events that have occurred that might adversely
affect the Plan's qualified status.
