This Amendment No. 6 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. 5, dated March 1, 1995. 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.
Except to the extent set forth in this Amendment, the information in the
prior filings by the respective Filing Persons remains in effect.
ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.
-------------------
The title of the class of equity securities to which this
Schedule 13D relates is Class B common stock, $.25 par value per share (the
"Class B Common Stock"), of Seneca Foods, Inc. (formerly Seneca Foods
Corporation), a New York corporation ("Seneca"), whose principal office is
located at 1162 Pittsford, Victor Road, Pittsford, New York 14534.
At October 17, 1995, pursuant to a recapitalization, an equal
number of shares 1:1 was distributed of Seneca Class B Common Stock and
Seneca Class A Common Stock for each previously outstanding share of Seneca
Common Stock. Each share of Seneca Class B Common Stock has the right to
one vote per share and each share of Seneca Class A Common Stock has the
right to one-twentieth (1/20) of a vote per share. The Filing Persons
previously reported their beneficial ownership in Seneca Common Stock. The
Filing Persons are filing information as to the Seneca Class A Common Stock
in this report with the Seneca Class B Common Stock because of the limited
voting rights of the Seneca Class A Common Stock.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
-----------------------
(a) The names of the persons filing this Schedule are CMCO, Inc.
and Edwin S. Marks.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

Marks used his personal funds to purchase the 3,000 shares of
Seneca Class B Common Stock at $16.75 per share for a total expenditure of
$50,250. See Item 4 of this Report.
