                LEGG MASON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                    (in thousands of dollars)
                       September 30, 1994
                           (Unaudited)

1.  Interim Basis of Reporting:

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions
for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and
notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements.  The interim financial statements
have been prepared utilizing the interim basis of reporting and, as
such, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for
a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented.  The
nature of the Company's business is such that the results of any
interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full
year.

2.  Net Capital Requirements:

     The Company's broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to the
Securities and Exchange Commission's Uniform Net Capital Rule.  The
Rule provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn or cash
dividends paid if resulting net capital would fall below specified
levels.  As of September 30, 1994, the broker-dealer subsidiaries
had aggregate net capital, as defined, of $92,048 which exceeded
required net capital by $85,420.

3.  Legal Proceedings:

     The Company and its subsidiaries have been named as defendants
in various legal actions arising primarily from securities and
investment banking activities, including certain class actions
which primarily allege violations of securities laws and seek
unspecified damages which could be substantial.  While the ultimate
resolution of these actions cannot be currently determined, in the
opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the
actions will be resolved with no material adverse effect on the
consolidated financial statements of the Company.

4.  Investment Securities:

     Effective April 1, 1994, the Company prospectively adopted the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities."  Accordingly, investment securities held as available-
for-sale are included in the statement of financial condition at
market value and related unrealized gains, net of tax ($405 at
September 30, 1994) are recorded in stockholders' equity.  The
adoption of SFAS No. 115 had no impact on the Company's results of
operations.

<PAGE> 6
5.  Litigation Settlement Charge:

    Other expense for the quarter and six months ended September
30, 1994, includes a charge of $2,000 ($950 after tax) related to
the proposed settlement of class action litigation arising from
taxable municipal bond offerings underwritten in 1986 by one of the
Company's subsidiaries.  See "Part II. Other Information--Item 1.
Legal Proceedings" for further discussion related to this matter.

6.  Supplemental Cash Flow Information:
     Interest payments were $7,397 in 1994 and $5,649 in 1993. 
Income tax payments were $7,001 in 1994 and $14,093 in 1993.
     On April 25, 1994, in exchange for common stock, the Company
acquired GSH & Co., Inc.'s net assets of $1,306.

7.  Subsequent Event:

    On October 12, 1994, the Company entered into an agreement to
acquire the assets of Batterymarch Financial Management
("Batterymarch"), an investment advisory firm that manages equity
portfolios for institutional clients. The acquisition, which is
expected to be completed by December 31, 1994, subject to
satisfaction of various closing conditions, provides for a purchase
price to be paid in two installments, the first of which will be a
cash payment at closing of up to $60 million, and the second of
which will be a contingent performance payment in early 1998 in an
amount up to $120 million less the amount of the first installment.
If the amount of the second installment exceeds $40 million, the
Company will have the right to pay all or any portion of the excess
in the form of shares of the Company's common stock.

Item 2.      Management's Discussion and Analysis of
          Results of Operations and Financial Condition  

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

During the Company's second quarter and six months ended September
30, 1994, the securities industry was adversely affected by rising
interest rates and uncertain equity markets as compared to the
favorable market conditions experienced during the corresponding
periods of the prior year.

Quarter Ended September 30, 1994 Compared to Quarter Ended
September 30, 1993


In the second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 1994, the
Company's net earnings declined 73% to $3.1 million from the record
$11.4 million achieved in the prior year's quarter.  Revenues fell
17% to $88.5 million from $106.8 million.  Primary earnings per
share were $.25, down 73% from $.94.  Fully diluted earnings per
share declined 69% to $.23 from $.74.

Commission revenues fell 15% to $29.4 million because of reduced
sales of listed securities, non-affiliated mutual funds and over-
the-counter securities.  

Revenues from principal transactions fell 11% to $13.3 million,
mainly because of lower sales of U.S. government, agency and
mortgage-backed securities and a decline in trading profits on firm
proprietary positions.  These declines were offset in part by
increased sales of over-the-counter and municipal securities. 

Investment advisory and related fees increased for the 18th
consecutive quarter and were 32% higher than in the corresponding
quarter of the prior year because of growth in assets under
management in Company-sponsored mutual funds, the Company's fixed-
income investment advisory subsidiary and fee-based brokerage
accounts.  Additionally, the current quarter includes fees earned
by Gray, Seifert & Co., Inc., an investment advisory firm acquired
in April 1994.  At quarter end, Company subsidiaries served as
investment advisors to individual and institutional accounts and
mutual funds with assets of $17.8 billion, up from $15.4 billion at
September 30, 1993.

Investment banking revenues were $8.4 million, 69% lower than in
the corresponding quarter of the prior year, principally reflecting
a substantial decline in corporate underwritings following sharp
increases in interest rates. Included in the September 1993 record
quarter were significant revenues from sizable co-managed offerings
of real estate investment trust securities. 



<PAGE> 8

Other revenues of $7.3 million were substantially unchanged from
$7.1 million in the prior year's quarter.

Compensation and benefits declined 13% to $51.9 million, as lower
commission and profitability-based compensation was partially
offset by personnel additions in new and existing product areas.

Occupancy and equipment rental increased 8% to $7.2 million because
of the addition of four retail brokerage offices and the
acquisition of Gray, Seifert & Co.

Communications expense increased 8% to $6.2 million because of
increased quotation service expense and printing and supplies
costs.

Floor brokerage and clearing fees declined 14% to $1.2 million,
reflecting reduced transaction volume and lower execution charges.

Other expense increased 20% to $12.7 million, principally because
of a charge for the proposed settlement of class action litigation
and increased marketing and promotional expenses. 

Interest revenue increased 23% to $9.2 million, reflecting higher
interest rates charged on larger customer margin account balances.

Interest expense fell 3% to $3.9 million because of a decline in
financing costs on reduced holdings of fixed-income securities,
partially offset by higher interest rates paid on customer credit
balances.

Income taxes declined 70% to $2.3 million as a result of a decrease
in pre-tax earnings.  The effective tax rate increased to 42.1%
from 39.4% as a result of currently unusable state net operating
losses.

Six Months Ended September 30, 1994 Compared to Six Months Ended
September 30, 1993

The Company's net earnings in the six months ended September 30,
1994 declined 58% to $8.1 million from $19.5 million in the prior
year's corresponding period.  Revenues fell 10% to $178.3 million
from $198.1 million.  Primary earnings per share were $.65, down
60% from $1.62.  Fully diluted earnings per share declined 55% to
$.57 from $1.28.

Commission revenues fell 15% to $58.6 million because of declines
in sales of listed securities, non-affiliated mutual funds and
over-the-counter securities.  

Revenues from principal transactions fell 3% to $27.0 million
because of lower sales of U.S. government, agency and mortgage-
backed securities and losses on fixed-income proprietary positions
attributable to rising interest rates. These declines were
substantially offset by increased sales of over-the-counter  equity
securities and municipal bonds.

Investment advisory and related fees increased 33% to $40.5
million, reflecting growth in assets under management in Company-
sponsored mutual funds, fee-based brokerage accounts and the
Company's fixed-income investment advisory subsidiary. 
Additionally, the current period includes fees earned by Gray,
Seifert & Co., Inc.  

Investment banking revenues fell 52% to $21.3 million from record
levels achieved in the corresponding period of the prior year as
both corporate and municipal underwriting declined because of
rising interest rates.

Other revenues rose 7% to $13.7 million, primarily because of
increased mortgage servicing, loan origination and repurchase
agreement placement fees.

Compensation and benefits declined 7% to $105.1 million, as lower
commission and profitability-based compensation was partially
offset by personnel additions in new and existing product areas.

Occupancy and equipment rental increased 10% to $14.3 million
because of higher depreciation expense related to  a new securities
quotation system, increased data processing costs and inclusion of
the expenses of Gray, Seifert & Co.  

Communications expense increased 9% to $12.1 million because of
increased printing, supplies, telephone and quote services
expenses.

<PAGE> 10

Floor brokerage and clearing fees fell 19% to $2.4 million,
reflecting reduced transaction volume and lower listed securities
execution charges.

Other expense increased 21% to $23.0 million, principally  because
of a charge for the proposed settlement of class action litigation
and increased marketing and promotional expenses. 

Interest revenue increased 20% to $17.2 million because of higher
interest rates earned on larger customer margin account balances
and higher levels of conduit stock loan activity, offset in part by
lower earnings on proprietary positions in fixed-income securities.

Interest expense increased 4% to $7.6 million because of higher
interest rates paid on customer credit balances, increased levels
of stock loan conduit activity and the issuance of $68.0 million of
convertible subordinated debentures on April 28, 1993.  These
increases were substantially offset by lower financing costs on
reduced holdings of proprietary, fixed-income securities.

Income taxes declined 55% to $5.6 million, principally because of
a decrease in pre-tax earnings.  The effective tax rate increased
to 40.8% from 40.0% as a result of currently unusable state net
operating losses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

There has been no material change in the Company's financial
position since March 31, 1994.  A substantial portion of the
Company's assets is liquid, consisting mainly of cash and assets
readily convertible into cash.  These assets are financed primarily
by free credit balances, equity capital, bank lines of credit,
subordinated borrowings and other payables.

During the six months ended September 30, 1994, cash and cash
equivalents increased $48.1 million.  Cash flows from financing
activities generated $57.7 million, attributable to higher short-
term borrowings by the Company's mortgage banking operations.  The
Company used an additional $4.9 million of cash in operating
activities, primarily because of increases in net customer
receivable balances and securities loans, substantially offset by
reduced regulatory deposits.  Cash flows from investing activities
used $4.6 million, principally related to purchases of property and
equipment.

The Company expects to utilize cash of up to $60.0 million in the
third fiscal quarter of 1995 to finance the first installment in
its acquisition of Batterymarch Financial Management.  See Note 7
of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements regarding
the anticipated payment.

                   PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

     Taxable Municipal Bond Litigation.

     Reference is made to the discussion under the caption "Taxable
Municipal Bond Litigation" in Item 3 of Registrant's 10-K Report
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1994.  During the quarter ended
September 30, 1994, lead counsel in the class actions reached a
preliminary understanding with respect to the principal terms of a
settlement of the class actions.  The understanding, which is
subject to the completion of a definitive settlement agreement and
approval of the agreement by the MDL Court, would require Howard,
Weil, Labouisse, Friedrichs Incorporated, as one of the underwriter
defendants, to contribute approximately $3.6 million toward a total
settlement amount of $25.6 million. The settlement agreement , as
currently proposed, would permit the settling defendants to
terminate the settlement if plaintiffs, having more than a
specified aggregate dollar amount of claims elect to "opt out" of
participation in the settlement. The amount of opt outs that will
allow this termination option to be exercised is to be filed under
seal with the MDL Court.

Item 4.   Submission of matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

     Registrant's annual meeting of stockholders was held July 
28, 1994.  In the election of directors, the five director
