Basis of Presentation

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The
consolidated financial statements have not been audited by independent
auditors, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary
for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations.
All such adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature.  For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Corporation's annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1993.  The balance sheet at December 31, 1993 has been
derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.


Allowance for Possible Loan Losses

     An analysis of the transactions in the allowance for possible loan
losses is presented below.  The amount charged or credited to operating
expense is a reflection of management's assessment of the adequacy of the
allowance.

Earnings Per Common Share

     Earnings per common share calculations for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1994 and September 30, 1993 include the effect of common
stock equivalents applicable to the stock option contracts.
    The weighted average numbers of shares used to compute primary per common
share earnings, including the common stock equivalents where applicable, were
11,214,416, and 11,139,578 for the nine months ended September 30, 1994, and
1993, respectively and were 11,241,686 and 11,166,116 for the three months
ended September 30, 1994, and 1993, respectively.

Income Taxes

     Income tax expense for the third quarter of 1994 was $5,278,000.  This
amount consisted of current tax expense of $4,228,000 and deferred tax
expense of $1,050,000.  Year-to-date income tax expense is $15,005,000,
consisting of current tax expense of $12,882,000 and deferred tax expense of
$2,123,000.  Net deferred tax assets were $18,479,000 with no valuation
allowance at September 30, 1994.  The deferred tax assets were supported by
taxes paid in prior years, the future reversal of existing taxable temporary
differences, and the expectation of future taxable income.  Income tax
expense for the third quarter of 1993 was $160,000.  Income tax expense for
the third quarter of 1993 was affected by a reduction of $5.2 million in the
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.  A valuation allowance of $13.6
million was established at the beginning of 1993.  Income tax payments for
the first nine months of 1994 and 1993 were $12,513,000 and $3,234,000,
respectively.




Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

Financial Review
Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(taxable-equivalent basis - tables in thousands)

Results of Operations
     Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. reported net income of $9,494,000 or $.84 per
common share for the quarter ended September 30, 1994 compared with
$11,977,000 or $1.07 per common share for the third quarter of 1993 and net
income of $9,242,000 or $.82 per common share for the second quarter of 1994.
Net income for 1994 was lower than 1993 net income because of significant
differences in the Corporation's effective tax rate.(See Income Taxes)
     Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 was $27,834,000
or $2.48 per common share compared with $38,928,000 or $3.50 per common share
for the same period of 1993.  Net income for 1993 was positively impacted by
the cumulative effect of a change in accounting for income taxes.  The one-
time accounting change added $8,439,000 to net income.
     Pre-tax income in 1994 is at an all-time high for the quarter and for
the year to date.
     For 1994, the Corporation is recognizing income tax expense that
approximates the statutory rate.  At the beginning of 1993 the Corporation
had a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of $13.6 million.  This
valuation allowance was reduced to zero by the end of 1993 and resulted in
income tax expense of $538,000 for the first nine months of 1993 compared
with $15,005,000 for the same period in 1994.
     The results of operations are included in the material that follows.
All balance sheet figures are presented in averages unless otherwise noted.

Net Interest Income
      The increase in net interest income from the second quarter of 1994 is
due to increases in loan volumes and loan yields.  The increase in net
interest income from the third quarter of 1993 is primarily due to increases
in loan volumes and investment securities.  Net interest margin was 4.49
percent for the third quarter of 1994 compared to 4.39 percent and 4.24
percent for the second quarter of 1994 and third quarter of 1993,
respectively.  Net interest spread increased two basis points from the second
quarter of 1994 and seventeen basis points from the third quarter of 1993 to
3.89 percent.  The net interest spread increased primarily due to improved
spreads between loans and deposit costs. Year-to-date net interest income
increased $5,666,000 due to increases in loan volumes and investment
securities.  A rising interest rate environment could put pressure on the net
interest spread thus negatively impacting net interest income in the future.

For the third quarter 1994 ...

     Excluding securities transactions, total non-interest income was up 10.9
percent compared to the second quarter of 1994 and was up 14.1 percent from
the third quarter of 1993.
     Trust income increased 11.5 percent from the third quarter of 1993 and
7.2 percent from the previous quarter.  This can be attributed to growth in
the number of accounts and increased fees.
     Service charges on deposit accounts for the quarter ended September 30,
1994 were flat compared to the same quarter one year ago and up 6.0 percent
from the second quarter of 1994.  This is primarily due to the increase in
retail transaction fees.  Other service charges increased 19.1 percent from
the third quarter of 1993 and were up 6.9 percent from the second quarter of
1994 primarily due to fees associated with increased volumes and bankcard
discounts.
     Other non-interest income increased 33.5 percent from the second quarter
of 1994 and 49.3 percent from the third quarter of 1993.  The increase is
primarily due to income related to foreclosed properties.


For the nine months ended September 30, 1994...

     Excluding securities transactions, non-interest income increased 8.8
percent compared to the same period last year.  Trust income increased by
13.1 percent, primarily because of an increase in investment fee income
resulting from growth in the number of accounts and increased fees.  Other
service charges and fee income increased by 20.8 percent when compared to the
same period of 1993.  The increase is primarily due to fees associated with
increased volumes and bankcard discounts.

</TABLE>

For the third quarter 1994 ...

     Excluding the provision for real estate losses, non-interest expense was
up 7.5 percent when compared to the second quarter of 1994, and up 2.2
percent from the third quarter of 1993.
     Salaries and wages were down 2.7 percent when compared to both periods.
Pension and employee benefits were down 5.3 percent and 8.7 percent compared
with the second quarter of 1994 and third quarter of 1993, respectively.  The
decrease is primarily due to a decrease in retirement plan expense, payroll
taxes, and medical insurance.
     Net occupancy of banking premises decreased 23.4 percent compared with
the third quarter of 1993.  The decrease from the third quarter last year
resulted primarily from restructuring actions taken in the fourth quarter of
1993.  During the third quarter of 1994, the Corporation recorded an
additional $830,000 restructuring charge, primarily an adjustment to market
valuations associated with banking premises held for sale.
     Furniture and equipment expense increased 9.6 percent from the second
quarter of 1994 and 5.0 percent when compared to the third quarter of 1993.
This is primarily due to equipment rental, service contracts, and software
maintenance and amortization.
     Other non-interest expense was up 13.7 percent from the second quarter
of 1994 and 15.8 percent when compared to the third quarter of 1993.  The
increase is due to the timing of charitable contributions, litigation
expenses (primarily a settlement), and increased state sales and use taxes.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1994...



     Non-interest expense was down 3.5 percent compared to the same period
last year.  Year-to-date 1993 results included non-recurring charges of $5.0
million relating to the acquisition of New First City.  In addition,
restructuring charges in 1993 included $1.9 million in costs for a retirement
incentive program and severance costs of $591,000 related to the branching
conversion of the Corporation's Houston offices.
     Net occupancy of banking premises decreased 20.8 percent from the same
period in 1993 primarily due to the restructuring actions taken in the fourth
quarter of 1993.  The increase in furniture and equipment expense is
primarily due to increased depreciation expense.  Other non-interest expense
was $49,188,000 compared to $46,443,000 for the same period in 1993.
Excluding the non-recurring expenses associated with the acquisition of New
First City in 1993, other non-interest expenses would have increased 15.0
percent for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 as compared to the same
period in 1993.  The increase is due to amortization of goodwill and other
intangibles associated with the acquisition of New First City during February
1993, timing of charitable contributions, litigation expenses (primarily a
settlement) and state sales and use taxes.



Income Taxes
     Income tax expense for the third quarter of 1994 was $5,278,000.  This
compares to income tax expense of $160,000 for the third quarter of 1993.
The third quarter 1993 tax expense was affected by a reduction of $5.2
million in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.  A valuation
allowance of $13.6 million was established January 1, 1993 with the adoption
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (FAS 109), "Accounting
for Income Taxes."  The valuation allowance was reduced to zero by the end of
1993.  The one-time cumulative effect of adopting FAS 109 was $8.4 million
which favorably impacted the Corporation's results of operations for the
first nine months of 1993.  The Corporation has an effective tax rate for
1994 which approximates the statutory rate.

Balance Sheet

      Average assets of $3,640,583,000 for the third quarter of 1994
reflected an increase of 2.6 percent from the third quarter of 1993 and were
flat as compared with the previous quarter.  Total deposits averaged
$3,112,724,000 for the current quarter and were flat when compared to the
third quarter of 1993 and the previous quarter.

     Average loans for the third quarter of 1994 were $1,343,800,000.  This
represents a 14.5 percent increase from the comparable quarter of last year
and is up 2.9 percent from the second quarter of 1994.  This loan growth
reflects improved economic conditions in the Texas markets where the
Corporation's presence is concentrated.

Real Estate Loans

   Of the total real estate loans outstanding at September 30, 1994, 74
percent were located in San Antonio, 13 percent in Houston/Galveston, 7
percent in Austin, and 6 percent in Corpus Christi.  Residential permanent
mortgage loans at September 30, 1994 were $278,711,000 compared to
$285,024,000 at September 30, 1993 and $271,656,000 at June 30, 1994.  Real
estate loans classified as "other" are essentially amortizing commercial and
industrial loans with maturities of less than five years.  Most are
collateralized by completed and occupied commercial real estate properties.

     As part of the acquisition of New First City-Austin, certain commercial
and industrial and commercial real estate loans of that bank are protected by
a loss-sharing arrangement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(the "FDIC") whereby losses are shared 80 percent to the FDIC and 20 percent
to the Corporation.  At September 30, 1994, these loans approximated $28
million.
     At September 30, 1994, real estate loans 90 days past due (excluding non-
accrual and restructured loans) were $3,685,000, compared with $3,610,000 at
September 30, 1993, and $2,729,000 at June 30, 1994.

     The Corporation's cross border outstandings, excluding $22,499,000 in
loans secured by assets held in the United States, totaled $7,950,000 at
September 30, 1994 or .6 percent of total loans.

Non-Performing Assets

   Non-performing assets totaled $20,509,000 at September 30, 1994 down from
$39,791,000 at September 30, 1993 and $25,254,000 at June 30, 1994.  Non-
performing assets as a percentage of total loans and foreclosed assets
decreased to 1.5 percent at September 30, 1994 down from 3.3 percent one year
ago.  As a part of the acquisition of New First City, certain commercial and
commercial real estate loans are protected by a loss-sharing arrangement with
the FDIC. (See "Loans")  At September 30, 1994, non-performing assets covered
by the loss-sharing arrangement totaled $2,077,000.  These assets are
included in total non-performing assets at $310,000 which represents the
carrying value net of loss-sharing coverage and associated discounts.

*Foreclosed assets include $5.4 million of in-substance foreclosures.
</TABLE>

     Foreclosed assets consist of both property which has been formally
repossessed and that which is considered in-substance foreclosed even though
formal repossession has not occurred.  Foreclosed assets are valued at the
lower of the loan balance or estimated fair value, less estimated selling
costs, at the time of foreclosure.  Write-downs occurring at acquisition are
charged against the allowance for possible loan losses.  On an ongoing basis,
properties are appraised as required by applicable regulations.  Write-downs
are provided for subsequent declines in value.  Expenses related to
maintaining foreclosed properties are included in other non-interest expense.
     The after-tax impact (assuming a 35 percent marginal tax rate) of lost
interest from non-performing assets was $374,000 or $.03 per common share for
the third quarter of 1994, compared to approximately $529,000 or $.05 per
common share for the third quarter of 1993 and $396,000 or $.04 per common
share for the second quarter of 1994.  For the nine months ended September
30, 1994, the after-tax impact (assuming a 35 percent marginal tax rate) was
approximately $1,152,000 or $.10 per common share, compared with
approximately $1,766,000 or $.16 per common share for the comparable period
last year.  Total loans 90 days past due (excluding non-accrual and
restructured loans) were $5,423,000 at September 30, 1994, compared to
$4,839,000 at September 30, 1993, and $4,310,000 at June 30, 1994.


Allowance for Possible Loan Losses



     The allowance for possible loan losses was $25,467,000 or 1.87 percent
of period-end loans at September 30, 1994, compared to $28,559,000 or 2.43
percent at September 30, 1993 and $25,647,000 or 1.94 percent at the end of
the second quarter of 1994.  The change in the allowance for loan losses from
last year includes a reduction of $2,684,000 related to the exchange of
Cullen/Frost Bank in Dallas for Texas Commerce Bank-Corpus Christi.  The
allowance for possible loan losses as a percentage of non-accrual and
restructured loans was 240.6 percent at September 30, 1994, compared to 140.8
percent at September 30, 1993 and 199.3 percent at the end of the second
quarter of 1994.
     No provision for possible loan losses has been made during 1994.  Net
charge-offs in the third quarter totaled $180,000, compared to net charge-
offs of $240,000 for the third quarter of 1993 and net recoveries of $779,000
for the second quarter of 1994.

Capital and Liquidity

     At September 30, 1994, shareholders' equity was $288,793,000 compared to
$257,016,000 at September 30, 1993 and $281,366,000 at June 30, 1994.  The
Corporation paid a cash dividend of $.15 per common share in each of the
first three quarters of 1994.
     At December 31, 1993, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities."  The standard addresses the accounting for and reporting
of investments in debt securities and requires classification and accounting
treatment for securities as held to maturity, trading securities and
securities available for sale.  At December 31, 1993, the unrealized gain on
securities available for sale, net of deferred taxes, was $9.1 million
compared to an unrealized loss of $1.2 million at September 30, 1994.  This
decrease is primarily due to an increase in market rates.  Currently under
regulatory requirements, the unrealized gain or loss on securities available
for sale is not included in the calculation of risk-based and leverage
capital ratios.
     The Federal Reserve Board (the "Board") utilizes capital guidelines
designed to measure Tier 1 and Total Capital and take into consideration the
risk inherent in both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet items.
     The following summarizes Tier 1 and Total Capital information for the
Corporation at September 30, 1994 and September 30, 1993.

</TABLE>

     The Board guidelines also require a leverage capital ratio which
measures Tier 1 Capital against quarterly average total assets, net of
goodwill.  A leverage ratio of 3.0 percent is the minimum requirement for
only the most highly rated banking organizations.  The leverage ratio for the
Corporation was 6.92 percent and 6.05 percent at September 30, 1994 and
September 30, 1993, respectively.
     At September 30, 1994 the Corporation and all of its subsidiary banks
were "well capitalized" as defined by the FDIC Improvement Act of 1991
("FDICIA"), the highest regulatory category.  A financial institution is
deemed to be well capitalized if the institution has a total risk-based
capital ratio of 10.0 percent or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio
of 6.0 percent or greater, and a leverage ratio of 5.0 percent or greater,
and the institution is not subject to an order, written agreement, capital
directive or prompt corrective action directive to meet and maintain a
specific level for any capital measure.
     Funding sources available include a $7,500,000 short-term line of
credit. There were no borrowings outstanding from this source at September
30, 1994.
     Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets which are readily
marketable or which will mature in the near future.  These include cash, time
deposits in banks, securities available for sale, maturities and cash flows
from securities held to maturity, and Federal funds sold and securities
purchased under resale agreements.  Liability liquidity is provided by access
to funding sources, principally deposits and Federal funds purchased.  The
liquidity position of the Corporation is continuously monitored and
adjustments are made to the balance between sources and uses of funds as
deemed appropriate.
