                   CENTRAL COAL & COKE CORPORATION

              Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                           March 31, 1995


Note (1) Basis of Presentation:

     In the opinion of the Central Coal & Coke Corporation (the
Company), the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals)
necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 1995,
and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended
June 30, 1995 and 1994.

Oil Lease Bonuses

     Oil lease bonuses which relate to future periods are deferred and
recognized as income over the related future periods (generally one
year).

Note (2) Income Taxes:

     The Company's Missouri corporation income tax returns for the years
1985, 1986, 1987, 1989, 1990 and 1991 were examined by the Missouri
Department of Revenue, and additional taxes and interest thereon were
assessed.  The Company made certain payments under protest in 1993 and
1994 in connection with the examination adjustments.

     On February 3, 1995, the Company entered into a settlement
agreement with the Missouri Director of Revenue which settled all issues
relating to the examinations.  The Company had adequately provided for
its tax obligations with respect to this matter.

Note (3) Securities, Common Stocks and Options:

     The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities" (Statement 115) on January 1, 1994.  This
statement requires that investments in debt and certain equity
securities be classified in one of three categories:  (1)held-to-

         ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
           FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


There was no significant change in the financial condition of the
Registrant during the first six months of 1995 from the end of the
last fiscal year, and it continues very strong.  The liquidity of
the Registrant continues to be high.

Revenue from coal royalties was up slightly in the first six months
of 1995 over the first six months of 1994 and for the second
quarter of 1995 over the second quarter of 1994 due to an increase
in production.  Revenue from oil and gas royalties was down
approximately fourteen percent in the second quarter of 1995 from
the second quarter of 1994 due to somewhat lower production and
lower gas prices.  Revenue from oil and other mineral lease rentals
and bonuses was up substantially in the first six months of 1995
over the first six months of 1994 due primarily to three new leases
entered into in the first quarter of 1995 generating substantial
bonus income in that quarter, including one fairly sizable lease on
a portion of the Registrant's Texas property.  Also included in
revenue from this source during the first six months of 1995 was a
substantial rental payment received in the first quarter of 1995
for a lease extension entered into with respect to certain of the
Registrant's property in Vernon Parish, Louisiana.  Revenue from
this source for the second quarter of 1995 was down from the 
second quarter of 1994 reflecting receipt of less rentals and 
bonus income during the current quarter.

Revenue from food sales increased substantially in the first six 
months of 1995 over the first six months of 1994 which results from 
the operation of Beekman's Deli Systems, Limited Liability Company, 
a limited liability company in which the Registrant is a majority 
member (hereinafter "Beekman's") which is the successor by statutory 
merger to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant which carried 
on this business activity in 1994.  Only one fast food bagel and
delicatessen facility was in operation in early 1994 (that being the 
one in Athens, Ohio), and the second facility located in Columbus, 
Ohio, was not opened until the third quarter of 1994, thus 
accounting for the increased revenue reflected in the 1995 periods 
when both facilities were fully operational.

Revenue from investment income was higher in the first six months 
of 1995 over the first six months of 1994 and in the second quarter 
of 1995 compared to the second quarter of 1994 due to the overall 
rate of return on investments being higher in the current periods 
and a somewhat greater amount of funds being invested in the current 
periods than in the earlier periods under comparison.  There was 
significantly more income from gain on sale of real estate during 
the first six months of 1994 over the first six months of 1995 and 
also in the second quarter of 1994 over the second quarter of 1995 
due to more gain on occasional nonrecurring sales of real estate in 
the 1994 periods.  However, other revenue was significantly higher 
both in the first six months of 1995 over the first six months of 
1994 and in the second quarter of 1995 over the second quarter of 
1994 due to revenue from a timber sale in May of 1995.

Included in operating expenses for the first six months of 1995 and 
the first six months of 1994 are cost of food sales and food 
operations.  Both occur in connection with the fast food bagel and
delicatessen business now being conducted by Beekman's as discussed
above.  The primary reason for the increased amount of expenditures 
in these categories in the first six months of 1995 over the first 
six months of 1994, and the second quarter of 1995 over the second
quarter of 1994 is the same as explained above in connection with
revenue from this operation, that during the 1994 periods there was 
only one facility in operation while two facilities were in 
operation during the current periods under comparison.  Also
contributing to the increased operating expenses in the current 
periods were increased payments to outside service providers in
connection with the bagel and delicatessen business.

Income taxes were materially higher for the first six months of 1995
over the first six months of 1994 as  a result of increased earnings
before income taxes.

The Registrant adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities" (Statement 115) on January 1, 1994.  The
effect on the Registrant's consolidated financial statements at
January 1, 1994 of initially adopting Statement 115 was immaterial.  
See note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for 
a more detailed explanation of this accounting change.

Net cash provided by operating activities was up substantially in 
the first six months of 1995 over the first six months of 1994.  A
contributing factor to this increase was the receipt of certain 
deferred oil lease bonuses and rentals in the first quarter of 1995 
but which were deferred and recognized as income over the related 
future periods for income purposes.

Regarding capital commitments, in addition to the two locations of 
the fast food bagel and delicatessen business currently being 
operated by Beekman's, negotiations were concluded during the second
quarter of 1995 for a third facility to be located in State College,
Pennsylvania.  The capital commitment of the Registrant in 
connection with the first two facilities was approximately $220,000 
in aggregate through the end of 1994.  The aggregate capital 
commitment in connection with the proposed facility at State 
College, Pennsylvania could be approximately $200,000, of which
approximately $175,000 had been expended through June 30, 1995.  
Other than these capital expenditures, the Registrant has no 
specific commitments for material capital expenditures at the 
present time.  However, the Registrant continues to actively review
other business opportunities which would result in a more productive
deployment of its assets and ultimately increase earnings.  As 
reflected in the accompanying financial statements and discussed 
above, aggressive pursuit of the development of increased royalty 
and rental and bonus income from oil and gas properties has already
resulted in increased revenue in 1995.  Management plans to continue 
to aggressively pursue development of such income from its real 
property and mineral interests.

Information regarding matters submitted to a vote of security holders
during the second quarter of 1995, is submitted as follows:

    (a)  The annual meeting of stockholders of the Registrant was held
April 19, 1995.

    (b)  Directors were elected at that meeting and the five nominees
named in the Proxy Statement previously filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to Regulation 14A and elected at the
meeting were as follows:

                       Phelps M. Wood
                       Ernest N. Yarnevich, Jr.

    There were no other directors whose term of office as a Director
continued after that meeting.

    (c)  The following matters were voted on by the stockholders at that
meeting:

      (i)  A resolution to appoint the firm of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP as
independent public accountant to examine the financial statements of the
Registrant for the year ending December 31, 1995 and to perform other
appropriate accounting services was approved.  The holders of 338,355
shares cast their votes in favor of the resolution, the votes of 29
shares were cast against it and the holders of 130 shares abstained.

      (ii)  A resolution was voted on by the stockholders approving the
"Directors' Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan" in the form previously
approved by the Board of Directors and described in the Proxy Statement
sent to stockholders and filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under Regulation 14A.  The holders of 241,363 shares cast
their votes in favor of such proposal, the votes of 81,282 shares were
cast against it and the holders of 15,869 abstained.  Thus, the
resolution was approved.

      (iii) Tabulation of votes with respect to nominees for Directors
is as follows:

    (d)  There were no solicitations subject to Rule 14a-11 and thus
there were no settlements or terms of settlements thereof.
