ITEM 4.   Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

(a)  On December 11, 1995, L. Luria & Son, Inc. (the "Registrant")
     dismissed the accounting firm of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP as
     independent accountants for the Registrant for the current
     fiscal year ending February 3, 1996.  The accountant's reports
     on the financial statements for the past two fiscal years
     preceding the dismissal of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP did not
     contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, audit
     scope or accounting principles.  The decision to change
     accountants was recommended and approved by the Board of
     Directors.  During the most recent two fiscal years and the
     subsequent interim periods preceding the dismissal of KPMG
     Peat Marwick LLP there have been no disagreements with KPMG
     Peat Marwick LLP on any matter of accounting principles or
     practices, financial statement disclosure, or accounting scope
     or procedure.  In addition, no reportable events, as defined
     in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K of the Securities and
     Exchange Act, occurred during such periods.

     The Registrant has requested that KPMG Peat Marwick LLP
     furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether
     it agrees with the above statements.  A copy of the KPMG Peat
     Marwick LLP letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission
     dated December 19, 1995 is filed as Exhibit 16 on this Form 8-
     K/A.

(b)  On December 11, 1995 the Registrant engaged the accounting
     firm of Deloitte & Touche as independent accountants for the
     Registrant for the current fiscal year ending February 3,
     1996.  This engagement was approved by the Board of Directors.

Gentlemen:

We were previously principal accountants for L. Luria & Son, Inc.
(the "Company") and, under the date of March 24, 1995, we reported
on the consolidated financial statements of L. Luria & Son, Inc. as
of and for the year ended January 28, 1995.  On December 11, 1995,
we were dismissed as the Company's independent public accountants. 
We have read the Company's statements included under Item 4
paragraph (a) of its Form 8-K/A dated December 19, 1995, and we
agree with such statements except that we have no basis for
agreeing or disagreeing with the Company's statement in paragraph

accountants.

Very truly yours,



KPMG Peat Marwick LLP
