This Amendment No. 4 amends and supplements the 
Statement on Schedule 13D, as amended to date (the "Schedule 
13D"), previously filed by the Reporting Persons (as defined 
below), included as part of the Schedule 14D-1, as amended to 
date (the "Schedule 14D-1"), previously filed by Fahnestock Viner 
Holdings Inc., an Ontario corporation ("Holdings"), Fahnestock & 
Co. Inc., a New York corporation ("Fahnestock"), and FMCC 
Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Purchaser").  The 
Schedule 13D relates to the common stock, par value $.10 per 
share, of First of Michigan Capital Corporation, a Delaware 
corporation (the "Company").  Capitalized terms used and not 
defined in this Amendment have the respective meanings therefor 
set forth in the Schedule 13D.  Because the Schedule 13D was 
included as part of the Schedule 14D-1, the item numbers and 
responses thereto below are in accordance with the requirements 
of Schedule 14D-1.


1. Each of "Item 3. Past Contracts, Transactions or 
Negotiations with the Subject Company", "Item 4. Source and 
Amount of Funds or Other Consideration", "Item 6. Interest in 
Securities of the Subject Company", "Item 7. Contracts, 
Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to the 
Subject Company's Securities" and "Item 10. Additional 
Information" is hereby supplemented and amended by adding at the 
end thereof the following information:

As the owner of more than 90% of the outstanding Shares 
of the Company, Purchaser consummated a back-end "short-form" 
merger of Purchaser with and into the Company on July 31, 1997.  
Holders of Shares of the Company who did not tender their Shares 
in the Offer will receive the merger consideration of US$15.00 
net per Share or may exercise statutory appraisal rights.  Notice 
of the merger will be sent to the remaining shareholders 
instructing them on the procedure to deliver their certificates 
formerly representing Shares of the Company for the merger 
consideration and informing them of their statutory appraisal 
rights.  Purchaser obtained funds required to pay the merger 
consideration from Fahnestock through a capital contribution.

Following the merger, Purchaser ceased to exist and accordingly is
not included as a Reporting Person for purposes of this Schedule 13D.

2. "Item 11. Material to be Filed as Exhibits" is 
hereby supplemented and amended by adding at the end thereof the 
following information:

(a)(12) --Press Release issued by Holdings and the     
            Company on July 31, 1997. 


3.	Lowenthal specifically disclaims any beneficial 
ownership of the Shares pursuant to Rule 13d-4.


4. For purposes of the Schedule 13D only,  Lowenthal 
is included as a "Reporting Person", together with Holdings and
Fahnestock.


5	 Except as specifically provided herein, this 
Amendment does not modify any of the information previously 
reported on the Schedule 13D.
