Earnings  per common share for the six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993
as  reported in  the Consolidated Statements  of Income were  based on the
weighted average number  of common shares  outstanding for the  respective
periods.  Primary  and fully diluted  earnings per common  share were  not
shown in  the Consolidated  Statements of Income  as they differ  from the
reported earnings per common share by less than three percent or are anti-
dilutive.
