ITEM 1.   SECURITY AND ISSUER

          This Schedule 13D relates to 572,678 shares of common stock (the
"Securities") of Baltic International USA, Inc. (the "Issuer") that are issuable
upon conversion of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock. The
principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 601 Jefferson Street,
Suite 3742, Houston, Texas 77002.

ITEM 2.   IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

          This Schedule 13D is being filed by Citadel Limited Partnership, an
Illinois limited partnership ("Citadel").  Citadel's principal business office
is located at 225 West Washington Street, 9th Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60606.

ITEM 3.   SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

          Citadel is the managing general partner of Nelson Partners, a Bermuda
exempted general partnership ("Nelson"). The funds used for purchases reported
herein are from the accounts of Nelson. Citadel has no beneficial ownership
interest in any of the funds or other property of Nelson, except for Citadel's
interest as general partner of Nelson.

ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

          The purchases reported herein were made as an investment.  Citadel
may, in the future, recommend or make additional purchases or sales of the
subject Securities on behalf of Nelson.

          Citadel has no present plans or proposals which would relate to or
result in transactions of the kind described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of
Item 4 of Rule 13D-101 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  However,
Citadel reserves the right to adopt such plans or proposals, subject to
applicable regulatory requirements, if any.

ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

          (a)  By reason of its serving as managing general partner of Nelson,
          Citadel may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner of the
          Securities, which represent a 7.72% interest in the common stock of
          the Issuer.

          (b)  Citadel has the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose
          of the Securities on behalf of Nelson.

          (c)  This filing is being made as a consequence of Citadel's
          deregistration as of September 27, 1996 as a registered investment
          advisor. Citadel, which changed its name from Citadel Investment
          Management, L.P. in connection with the deregistration, may have
          previously filed a Schedule 13G with respect to its investment in the
          Issuer under such former name. No transactions with respect to the
          Issuer's common stock have been effected during the 60-day period
          ending September 26, 1996.

          (d)  Citadel acquired the Securities as agent for Nelson. Nelson, as
          the direct beneficial and legal owners of the Securities, has the
          right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from,
          or the proceeds from the sale of the Securities. However, Citadel, as
          managing general partner of Nelson, ultimately has the right to direct
          such activities.

ITEM 6.   CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
          TO SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY.

          Nelson owns the Securities and has the right to receive any dividends
          from and the proceeds from the sale of the Securities. As described in
          Item 3 above, Citadel is the managing general partner of Nelson. As a
          result, Citadel has the power to vote and dispose of the securities
          held by Nelson.

ITEM 7.   MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS

          No exhibits are required to be filed as part of this Schedule 13D.
