                           Report of Independent Auditors



Compensation and Benefits Committee of
   Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the 1991  Thrift Incentive Stock Purchase Plan for Employees of
Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related
statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the 1991 Thrift
Incentive Stock Purchase Plan for Employees of Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
