Item 4.   Changes in Registrant's Independent Auditors

     Item 4 in Form 8-K is amended in its entirety to read as follows: 

     Effective March 19, 1996, The Morgan Group, Inc. ("Morgan"), dismissed
Arthur Andersen, LLP and retained Ernst & Young, LLP, which audits
Registrant.  The report of Registrant's independent accountants expressed
reliance upon the audit of Morgan (a significant subsidiary) by Arthur
Andersen.  The decision to change auditors was approved by Morgan's Board
of Directors and Registrant's Audit Committee.

     Arthur Andersen's report on Morgan's financial statements for neither
of the two most recent fiscal years contained an adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principles.

     During the last two fiscal years and from February 5, 1996 to the date
of dismissal on March 19, 1996, there were no disagreements between Morgan
or Registrant and Arthur Andersen on any matters of accounting principles
or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction or
Arthur Andersen, would have caused it to  make a reference to the subject
matter of the disagreement in connection with its report.
