               This Amendment No. 5 is being filed by CMCO, Inc. (formerly
          Carl Marks & Co. Inc.) ("CMCO") and Edwin S. Marks ("Marks")
          (CMCO and Marks sometimes collectively the "Filing Persons"). 
          CMCO had filed an initial Schedule 13D reporting its interests in
          the Common Stock, $.25 par value (the "Seneca Common Stock"), and
          amendments thereto, with the last amendment being Amendment No.
          4, dated March 27, 1991.  Marks had filed an initial Schedule
          13D, dated April 2, 1991 reporting his interests in the Seneca
          Common Stock.  Because of the relationship between CMCO and
          Marks, they decided to report jointly their interests in Seneca
          Common Stock.  This Amendment No. 5 shall also constitute the
          termination of the separate filing by Marks.  Except to the
          extent set forth in this Amendment, the information in the prior
          filings by the respective Filing Persons remains in effect.


          Item 2.  Identity and Background
                   -----------------------
              
               (a)  The names of the persons filing this Schedule are CMCO,
          Inc. and Edwin S. Marks.

                    The Filing Persons are filing this Amendment to the
          Schedule in the event that they are deemed a "group" for purposes
          of Section 13(d) and Rule 13d-1(f) under the Securities Exchange
          Act of 1934, as amended.

          Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.
                   ----------------------

               Item 4 is amended by addition of the following:

               Each of the Filing Persons plans from time to time to
          evaluate his respective interests in the Issuer.  Acting
          individually or together each may purchase additional shares of
          Seneca Common Stock in open market or private transactions, or
          may dispose of their shares depending upon market conditions and
          other factors, such as alternative investment opportunities,
          general economic and money conditions and the performance of the
          Seneca Common Stock, as well as other factors deemed relevant
          from time to time.

          Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

          shares of Seneca Common stock.  This represents approximately
          8.02% of the outstanding Seneca Common Stock (based upon
          2,796,555 shares outstanding as of November 30 1994, as reported
          in the Issuer's Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended October
          31, 1994.

                     At March 1, 1995, Marks beneficially owned 459,588

          <PAGE>


          15.8% of the outstanding shares, which included 94,520 shares of
          Seneca Common Stock beneficially owned by his wife Nancy A. Marks
          and 232,568 shares of Seneca Common Stock beneficially owned by
          CMCO.

               (b)  CMCO has the sole power to vote or to direct the vote
          and the sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of
          232,568 shares of Seneca Common Stock.  These powers would be
          exercised for CMCO by its executive officers or the Board of
          Directors.
          
                    Marks has the sole power to vote or to direct the vote
          and the sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of
          132,500 shares of Seneca Common stock.  He shares such powers to
          vote and to dispose of 327,088 shares of Seneca Common Stock,
          consisting of 94,520 shares of which he shares such powers with
          his wife and of 232,568 shares by virtue of being President of
          CMCO.

               (c)  None.  

               (d)  No person other than the Filing Persons and the other
          persons referred to in this Item 5 is known to have the right to
          receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or
          the proceeds from the sale of the shares of Seneca Common Stock
          listed in this Item 5.

               (e)  Not applicable.
