   -- MOORE CORPORATION RECEIVES 73.54% OF WALLACE SHARES IN TENDER OFFER --

TORONTO  (November 6, 1995) -- Moore  Corporation  Limited (TSE, ME, NYSE:  MCL)
stated  today that as of 7:00  p.m.,  on Friday,  November  3, 1995,  16,698,706
shares,  representing 73.54% of the total outstanding shares of Wallace Computer
Services (NYSE: WCS), had been tendered into Moore's offer.

Reto Braun,  Chairman and CEO, stated: "On October 12, we stated that unless the
Wallace  shareholders acted decisively and tendered a significant  percentage of
the Wallace stock by November 3, we would terminate our offer.

"The  Wallace  shareholders  have  spoken.  As of  November 3, over 73.5% of the
Wallace shares have been tendered into Moore's offer.  Clearly, the overwhelming
majority of the Wallace  shareholders  have deemed our $60 offer  "adequate" and
wish to accept it immediately. It is time for the Wallace Board to sit down with
Moore in a responsible manner and conclude an agreement to effectuate the wishes
of the Wallace shareholders.

"Continued  refusal to meet and conclude  this  transaction  will only result in
further  waste of  Wallace  assets on  needless  litigation  and proxy  battles.
Instead,  we should turn our  energies to  charting  the future of our  combined
companies -- for the benefit of our customers, employees and shareholders.

"The Wallace  shareholders  believe that this  transaction will be in their best
interest.  It is time for the Wallace Board to accept that mandate and move from
obstruction to construction. We are ready to meet with them at any time."

Mr.  Braun stated that if the Wallace  Board  remains  unresponsive,  Moore will
proceed with its efforts to acquire Wallace.

Moore also  announced that it has extended the tender offer to 12:00 midnight on
December 11, 1995.

                                      ###
