Item 1.  Security and Issuer

The class of equity securities to which this Statement
relates is the Common Stock (the "Common Stock") of The
Chase Manhattan Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Issuer"). The Issuer's principal executive offices are
located at 1 Chase Manhattan Plaza, New York, NY 10081.

Item 2.  Identity and Background

(a-c)  This Statement is being filed by Heine Securities
Corporation "HSC"), a Delaware corporation, whose principal
and executive offices are located at 51 John F. Kennedy
Parkway, Short Hills, New Jersey 07078. HSC is an investment
adviser registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") under the Investment Advisers Act of
1940, as amended. One or more of HSC's advisory clients is
the beneficial owner of the securities covered by this
statement. Pursuant to investment advisory agreements with
each of its advisory clients, HSC has sole investment
discretion and voting authority with respect to such
securities.

This Statement is also being filed by Michael F. Price.
Michael F. Price is President of HSC, in which capacity he
exercises voting control and dispositive power over the
securities reported herein by HSC. Mr. Price, therefore, may
be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership over such
securities. Neither Mr. Price nor HSC has any interest in
dividends or proceeds from the sale of such securities, owns
any shares for their own account and disclaims beneficial
ownership of all securities reported herein.

The name, residence or business address, and the principal
occupation or employment and the name, principal business
and address of any corporation or other organization in
which such employment is conducted, of each executive
officer and director and each controlling person, if any, of
HSC is set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

(d-e) During the last five years, neither HSC nor, to the
best of HSC's knowledge, any person listed in Exhibit A
attached hereto (i) has been convicted in a criminal
proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) or (ii) has been a party to a civil proceeding
of a judicial or administrative body of competent
jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is
subject to, a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities
subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any
violation with respect to such laws.

(f)  To the best of HSC's knowledge, each of the individuals
listed on Exhibit A attached hereto is a citizen of the
United States.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The securities reported herein were acquired with funds of
approximately $365 million (including brokerage
commissions). All such funds were provided from working
capital of HSC's respective advisory clients.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

The securities covered by this Statement were acquired by
HSC's advisory clients for the purpose of investment. In the
future, HSC may decide to purchase on behalf of its advisory
clients additional shares of the Common Stock or other
securities of the Issuer. In addition, HSC may cause its
advisory clients to dispose of any or all securities of the
Issuer in any manner permitted by applicable securities
laws.

HSC believes that the Issuer operates numerous businesses
that generate far more attractive returns and possess
superior growth prospects than the traditional commercial
banking business. HSC further believes that the per share
value of all of the businesses operated by the Issuer far
exceeds the current market price of the Issuer's common
stock. Finally, HSC believes that the Issuer should
seriously consider taking steps to realize the inherent
values in its businesses in a manner designed to maximize
shareholder value.

As part of its continuing efforts to assess the value of its
clients' investment in the Issuer, HSC may communicate with,
among others, the Issuer's management, its Board of
Directors, and other shareholders of the Issuer. In
addition, HSC's advisory clients reserve the right to
exercise any and all of their respective rights as a
stockholder of the Issuer in a manner consistent with their
equity interests.

Except as set forth above, neither HSC nor, to the best of
HSC's knowledge, any executive officer or director of HSC,
has any present plans or intentions which would result in or
relate to any of the transactions described in subparagraphs
(a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a-b)  As the holder of sole voting and investment power
over the securities owned by its advisory clients, HSC (and
therefore Mr. Price) may be deemed to be, for purposes of
Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
beneficial owner of  11,111,000 shares of the Common Stock
owned by HSC's advisory clients, representing approximately
6.1% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock. HSC has
the sole power to vote or direct to vote, and the sole power
to dispose or to direct the disposition of the shares of the
Common Stock covered by this Statement. HSC and Mr. Price
disclaim any economic interest or beneficial ownership in
any shares of the  Common Stock covered by this Statement.

(c) Exhibit B sets forth all transactions in the shares of
the Common Stock within the past sixty days.

(d) No person other than HSC's advisory clients have the
right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of
dividends from, or the proceeds of the sale of the
securities being reported herein.

(e) Not applicable.

Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or
Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Except as set forth above, neither HSC nor, to the best of
HSC's knowledge, any of the persons named in Exhibit A
hereto, has any contract, arrangement, understanding or
relationship (legal or otherwise) with any person with
respect to any securities of the Issuer, including, but not
limited to, transfer or voting of any securities, finders'
fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or
calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or losses,
or the giving or withholding of proxies.

Exhibit C      Joint Filing Agreement

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and
