           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
           ------------------------------------------
Note A:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared by the Trust pursuant to the rules
of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, in the
opinion of the Trust, include all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation
of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such SEC rules.  The Trust believes that the
disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented
not misleading.  The consolidated statements of income for the
three month periods ended October 31, 1996 and 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. 
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Trust's latest annual report on Form 10-K.


Note B:   Supplemental Cash Flow Information

State and local income taxes paid for the three months ended
October 31, 1996 and 1995 were none and $1,000, respectively.

Interest paid for the three months ended October 31, 1996 and
1995 was $5,260,000 and $4,747,000, respectively.

Interest costs capitalized for the three months ended October 31,
1996 were $198,000.


Note C:   Provision for Doubtful Accounts

The provision for doubtful accounts is net of recoveries.  For
the three months ended October 31, 1996 and 1995, recoveries were
$16,000 and $260,000, respectively.

   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                    AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


I.   Liquidity and Capital Resources

     On October 31, 1996 the Trust had approximately $25.7
     million in available cash, cash equivalents and marketable
     securities.

     During the three month period ended October 31, 1996, the
     Trust paid approximately $94.9 million to acquire two
     shopping centers (212,000 gross leasable square feet) and 11
     apartment properties (2,368 units).

     Debt at October 31, 1996 consisted of $48.8 million of
     mortgages payable and $322.5 million of notes payable.

     During the quarter ended October 31, 1996, the Trust sold
     four issues of unsecured notes totaling $133 million.  Two
     of the issues, $10 million and $49 million, have maturities
     of two and three years, respectively, and have variable
     interest rates.  The other issues, $49 million and $25
     million, mature in 30 years and carry interest rates of
     5.95% and 7.65% respectively.  In addition, the $49 million
     note, at the option of the holder, is repayable at face
     value on November 2, 1998 and November 2, 2006.  In November
     1996 additional unsecured notes of $20 million due in 30
     years with an interest rate of 7.68% were issued.  The Trust
     also filed a $350 million shelf registration in November
     1996 allowing it to issue additional equity or debt and as
     part of the shelf registration commenced a $175 million
     medium term note program in December 1996.

     In October 1996 the Trust concluded an unsecured revolving
     credit agreement with The Bank of New York which provides
     for up to $50 million in borrowing until October 28, 1997. 
     There are restrictive covenants that limit total
     indebtedness to 50% of total capitalization, mortgage debt
     to 40% of total capitalization.  The credit agreement also
     requires a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2 to 1 and a
     minimum tangible net worth of $500 million.

     The Trust's dividend reinvestment program provided $3.8
     million during the three month period ended October 31,
     1996.  In addition, the Trust made dividend distributions of
     $20.6 million to shareholders and paid $6.8 million for
     improvements to existing properties and the construction of
     the Six Flags Outlet Center in Jackson Township, N.J.  Six
     Flags will open later in the fiscal year.

     Funds from operations, defined as net income plus
     depreciation and amortization of real estate less gains from
     asset sales, increased $4.0 million to $24.8 million shares
     ($.43/share) from $20.8 million ($.39/share) in the prior
     year's comparable three month period.


II.  Results of operations for the three months ended October 31,
     1996 and 1995


     A.   Revenues

          Total revenues increased approximately $10.0 million to
          $47.8 million.  The increase came primarily as a result
          of the acquisition of 32 properties since July 1995.  


     B.   Operating Expenses

          Operating costs and leasehold rents increased
          approximately $3.1 million to $11.7 million, reflecting
          the acquisition of properties.

          Real estate and other taxes increased approximately
          $1.2 million to $4.4 million.  The principal reason for
          this increase was the larger portfolio of properties.

          Interest expense increased approximately $1.8 million
          to $5.9 million.  This increase was due to the
          issuance, since November 1995, of $143 million of notes
          which were used to fund the Trust's property
          acquisition program.

          Depreciation and amortization of properties increased
          approximately $1.2 million to $5.7 million.  This
          increase was the result of the acquisition of
          properties.

          Provision for doubtful accounts, net of recoveries,
          increased $243,000 to $567,000.  This was due primarily
          to a decrease in the amount of bad debt recovery.


     C.   Administrative Expenses

          Administrative expenses as a percent of revenue
          declined to 1% from 2%.  This was due to increased
          revenue from newly acquired properties.  These costs do
          not change in direct proportion to revenues due to
          economies of scale.

								EXHIBIT 12.1

               RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

     
     The following table sets forth the ratio of earnings to
fixed charges for the periods indicated:

1992      1993      1994      1995      1996      3 Months ended
- ----      ----      ----      ----      ----         10/31/96
                                                  --------------
28.5      23.6      17.0      8.1       4.9            4.1

     To date, the Trust has not issued any preferred shares;
therefore, the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and
preferred share dividends are unchanged from the ratios presented
in this section.  For purposes of computing these ratios,
earnings have been calculated by adding fixed charges (excluding
capitalized interest) to income (loss) before income taxes and
extraordinary items.  Fixed charges consist of interest costs,
whether expensed or capitalized, the interest component of rental
expense, if any, and amortization of debt discounts and issue
costs, whether expensed or capitalized.
