FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 

        MARK TWAIN'S THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS INCREASE 17.9 PERCENT, 
                  SETTING 18TH CONSECUTIVE QUARTERLY RECORD


St. Louis, Mo., October 12, 1995. . . Mark Twain Bancshares, Inc.,
today announced a 17.9 percent increase in third quarter 1995
earnings over third quarter 1994.  Income from the period was
$12.22 million, and set the 18th consecutive quarterly record for
the 31-year-old company.
  
Primary earnings per share for the third quarter grew 17.2 percent
to $.75, up from $.64 in the third quarter 1994.  Fully diluted
earnings per share increased 15.9 percent to $.73 for the same
period, compared to $.63 for the third quarter 1994.

Return on average assets was 1.74 percent in the third quarter,
compared to 1.57 percent in the third quarter last year and 1.68
percent in the second quarter 1995.  Return on common shareholders'
equity was 18.62 percent for the third quarter compared to 18.23
percent for the third quarter 1994 and 18.65 percent for second
quarter 1995.

For the first nine months of 1995, Mark Twain's earnings totaled
$35.22 million, an increase of 17.9 percent from $29.86 million
earned for the same period in 1994.  Primary earnings per common
share for the nine-month period were $2.17, up 16.7 percent
compared to $1.86 for the same period in 1994.  Fully diluted
earnings per share totaled $2.11, a 16.6 percent increase over 1994
results of $1.81 per share.

Return on average assets for the first nine months of 1995 was 1.72
percent, compared to 1.52 percent for the same period last year. 
Return on shareholders' equity was 18.79 percent, compared to 18.04
percent a year ago.

"Our third quarter results give every indication that Mark Twain is
headed for yet another record year," says John P. Dubinsky, Mark
Twain Bancshares President and Chief Executive Officer.  "We
continually strive to achieve new standards of excellence. It's
this philosophy that has strategically placed Mark Twain among the
top-performing banks in the country."  In August, Mark Twain
received the number one ranking and was awarded the overall Gold
Medal for second quarter 1995 by Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette.

Net interest income, on a fully tax equivalent basis, grew 3.4
percent in the third quarter 1995, compared to third quarter 1994. 
For the past nine months, net interest income on a fully tax
equivalent basis increased 5.1 percent over the same period in
1994.  Net interest margin was 4.98 percent for the third quarter,
compared to 5.11 percent in the third quarter 1994.  For the nine-
month period, net interest margin was 5.10 percent compared to 5.05
percent for the same nine months of 1994.  Net interest income for
the third quarter 1995 showed a modest increase over second quarter
1995 levels, despite net interest margin decreasing to 4.98 percent
from second quarter's 5.08 percent.  

Loan outstandings at quarter-end 1995 were $1.94 billion, which
represents a 9.7 percent increase from a year ago, and an
annualized increase of 5.6 percent from year-end 1994.  

Mark Twain's asset quality remained strong in the third quarter,
with non-performing assets representing 1.00 percent of total loans
plus foreclosed real estate, compared to 1.11 percent a year ago
and .95 percent at year-end 1994.  Mark Twain continues to
experience low loan loss levels.  The loan loss reserve represents
1.55 percent of total loans, compared to 1.58 percent at the end of
third quarter 1994.  Net charge-offs for the nine-month period were
 .11 percent of average loans (annualized rate of .15 percent) down
from .21 percent (.28 percent annualized rate) for the same nine
months of 1994 and .21 percent for all of 1994.

"The Capital Markets Group, which includes bond and brokerage
operations, showed increases in revenue of 24.6 percent and 16.0
percent for the third quarter and the first nine months of 1995,
respectively, compared to the same periods last year,"  says
Dubinsky.   

For the first nine months of 1995, Mark Twain's efficiency ratio
was 51.85 percent, compared to 56.77 percent for the first nine
months of 1994. The efficiency ratio was 49.91 percent for third
quarter 1995 as compared to 54.99 percent for the same three-month
period last year.  

Dubinsky attributes Mark Twain's results to the company's
continuing successful implementation of key principles, which
include maintaining high quality assets, minimizing increases in
overhead expenses, maximizing opportunities for growth, and
aggressively soliciting new business. 

Growth and expansion are also key elements in maintaining strong
performance.  In the third quarter, Mark Twain received final
approval from both the Kansas State Banking Board and the FDIC to
establish a new banking location in Olathe, Kansas. "We are excited
about potential growth opportunities in the Kansas City market,"
Dubinsky adds.
