FULLY DILUTED EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Published on November 14, 1997



Exhibit 11

Fully Diluted Earnings Per Common Share and Fully Diluted Average Common Shares
Outstanding

For fully diluted earnings per common share, net income available to common
shareholders can be affected by the conversion of the registrant's convertible
preferred stock. Where the effect of this conversion would have been dilutive,
net income available to common shareholders is adjusted by the associated
preferred dividends. This adjusted net income is divided by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding for each period plus amounts representing
the dilutive effect of stock options outstanding and the dilution resulting from
the conversion of the registrant's convertible preferred stock, if applicable.
The effect of convertible preferred stock is excluded from the computation of
fully diluted earnings per share in periods in which the effect would be
antidilutive.

Fully diluted earnings per common share was determined as follows (shares
in thousands, dollars in millions except per-share information):
