Earnings per common share for the nine months ended September 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.
