               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Operating Results

For the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1996, ended
March 31, 1996, consolidated net sales increased 1% and 2%,
respectively, from the same periods last year.  The increases were
primarily attributed to modest price improvement in most markets. 

Gross profit for both the second quarter and the first six months
decreased approximately 4% from the same periods last year.  Gross
profit margin for the second quarter decreased from 16.5% to 15.7%
and for the first six months decreased from 18.2% to 17.1% from
last year.  Costs were adversely impacted by the difficult
operating conditions during the winter as well as higher material
and maintenance expenses. 

Selling, general and administrative expense amounted to 10.5% of
sales in the current quarter which was level with the second
quarter of last year and decreased slightly from 9.8% to 9.7% in
the current six months compared to last year.


Interest expense for the second quarter remained about level with 
the second quarter last year.  The decrease in interest expense in
the current six months was attributed to a lower average debt
outstanding which was partially offset by an increase in the
average interest rate.

As usual at this time of year winter weather masks the condition of
many of our markets.  However, it appears that conditions remain
reasonably stable.  Rising interest rates are expected to result in
some decline in residential construction, but activity is expected
to remain at fairly high lievels.  Commercial, state and federal
construction projects should offset the decline in residential
activity.  Our operations should make up the short falls from the
first half in the second half of the year.

Managment continues to expect the results for fisal 1996 to be more
or less in line with last year's results.

Financial Condition

The Company continues to maintain its sound financial condition
with sufficient resources to meet anticipated capital expenditures
and other operating requirements.

While the Company is affected by environmental regulations, such
regulations are not expected to have a major effect on the
Company's capital expenditures or operating results.  Additional
information concerning environmental matters is presented in Note
12 to the consolidated financial statements included in the
Company's 1995 Annual Report to stockholders, in Part I, Item 3
"Legal Proceedings" of the Company's Form 10-K for fiscal 1995 and
in Part II, Item 1 "Legal Proceedings" of the Company's Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended December 31, 1995, and such information is
incorporated herein by reference. 



                    PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

In May of 1993 the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") issued
a Complaint against a subsidiary of the Company ("Subsidiary")
based on unfair labor practice charges previously filed by
Teamsters Local 639.  The Complaint sought an order from the NLRB
requiring the Subsidiary to recognize the Teamsters as its
employees' exclusive collective bargaining representative, to
restore certain previous terms and conditions of employment and to
make whole the affected employees and certain employee benefit
plans for losses as a result of changes in terms and conditions of
employment made by the Subsidiary.  The Subsidiary denied such
charges.  In April of 1994, an Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") of
the NLRB issued a Recommended Decision and Order recommending a 
ruling against the Subsidiary's position and recommending the
relief sought in the complaint.  The Subsidiary filed an appeal
with the NLRB.  In February 1995, the NLRB affirmed the ALJ's
decision in substantial part.  The Subsidiary appealed the NLRB
decision to the United States Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.  In
February 1996, a three judge panel of the Court of Appeals
unanimously affirmed the NLRB decision.  The Subsidiary petitioned
for rehearing before this panel with a suggestion for rehearing en
banc by the entire Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.  On April 15,
1996 the Court issued an order denying such petition.  On April 16,
1996 the Court vacated its April 15 order and issued an order
directing the Teamsters and NLRB to file an answer to the petition
for rehearing and suggestion for rehearing en banc on or before May
6, 1996.  The ultimate liability, if any, with respect to this
matter cannot reasonably be estimated.  However, it is the opinion
of the Company's management that the ultimate disposition of this
matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.  This matter has been previously
reported in the Company's Form 10-K for fiscal years ended
September 30, 1994 and 1995 and Form 10-Q for the quarters ended
June 30, 1994 and March 31, 1995.

Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements included in the
Company's 1995 Annual Report to stockholders, Item 3 "Legal
Proceedings" of the Company's Form 10-K for fiscal 1995 and Part
II, Item 1 "Legal Proceedings" of the Company's Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended December 31, 1995 are incorporated herein by
reference.
