     information included in this report reflects all adjustments (consisting
     only of normal recurring accruals) which are necessary for a fair
     statement of the financial position and results of operations as of and
     for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.  The results of
     operations for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 are not
     necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.
     Certain amounts in the 1998 consolidated financial statements and
     analyses have been reclassified to conform with the 1999 presentation.

     which the Board of Directors has designated 2,000,000 shares as Series A
     convertible, with a $100 value per share for conversion and liquidation
     purposes.

     The Corporation has 160,000,000 shares of its $1.00 par value common

  8. Segments

     Generally, the Corporation organizes its segments based on legal entities
     and segregates the Data Services Division of the Corporation.  Each
     entity offers a variety of products and services to meet the needs of its
     customers and the particular market served.  Each entity or division has
     its own president and is separately managed subject to adherence to
     Corporate policies.  Discrete financial information is reviewed by senior
     management to assess performance on a monthly basis.  Certain segments
     are combined and consolidated for purposes of assessing financial
     performance.  No changes have been made in the organization or reporting
     of the Corporation's segments since the 1998 Annual Report.

     The Corporation evaluates the profit or loss performance of its segments
     based on operating income.  Operating income is after-tax income
     excluding nonrecurring charges and charges for services from the holding
     company, excluding its Data Services Division.  Operating income for the
     banking entities and certain other entities also excludes certain assets,
     liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses associated with adjustments,
     charges or credits arising from acquisitions accounted for as purchases
     (hereinafter called acquisition costs).  The accounting policies of the
     Corporation's segments are the same as those described in Note 1 to the
     Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10K, Item 8. Intersegment revenues
     may be based on cost, current market prices or negotiated prices between
     the providers and receivers of services.

     Based on the way the Corporation organizes its segments and the
     requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,
     "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information",
     the Corporation has determined that it has two reportable segments. 
     Information with respect to M&I's segments is as follows:

                                  Banking
                                  -------
     Banking represents the aggregation of twenty-six separately chartered
     banks located in Wisconsin, one bank in Arizona, one federally chartered
     thrift headquartered in Nevada and an operational support subsidiary. 
     Banking consists of accepting deposits, making loans and providing other
     services such as cash management, foreign exchange and correspondent
     banking to a variety of commercial and retail customers.  Products and
     services are provided through a variety of delivery channels including
     traditional branches, supermarket branches, telephone centers, ATMs and
     the internet.  In addition, the Corporation's larger affiliate banks
     provide numerous services such as cash management, regional credit, and
     centralized accounting to M&I's community banking affiliates.

                     THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 AND 1998
                     ------------------------------------------
Net income for the first quarter of 1999 amounted to $85.5 million compared to
$75.5 million for the same period in the prior  year.  Basic and diluted
earnings per share were $.79 and $.75 respectively for the three months ended
March 31, 1999, compared with $.70 and $.66, respectively for the three months
ended March 31, 1998. The return on average assets and average equity were 1.61%
and 15.55% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 and 1.51% and 14.87% for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998.

The following tables present a summary of each of the major elements of the
consolidated operating income statement, certain financial statistics and a
summary of the major operating income statement elements stated as a percent of
average consolidated assets converted to a fully taxable equivalent basis (FTE)
where appropriate for the current quarter and previous four quarters.  Operating
income for the second quarter of 1998 excludes the merger/restructuring charge
of $23.4 million ($16.3 million after-tax) associated with the April 1, 1998,
merger with Advantage Bancorp. "Cash operating income" and related statistics
is operating income before amortization of intangibles. Amortization includes
amortization of goodwill and core deposit premiums and is net of negative
goodwill accretion and the income tax expense or benefit, if any, related to
each component.  These calculations were specifically formulated by the
Corporation and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by
other companies.

The increase in earnings in the first quarter of 1999 compared to the same
period last year is due to an increase in net interest income which was
driven by loan growth and favorable shifts in the mix of funding sources,
noninterest revenue growth particularly from nonbank subsidiaries and slower
expense growth which was offset, in part, by a decrease in securities gains
which is all discussed in further detail on the following pages.


                            NET INTEREST INCOME
                            -------------------
Net interest income for the first quarter of 1999 amounted to $172.8 million,
an increase of $8.2 million or 5.0% from the $164.6 million reported for the
first quarter of 1998.  Net interest income arising from the increase in the
volume of average earning assets was offset by the decline in yield on
earning assets. The decrease in the rate of interest bearing liabilities due
to the decline in rates generally and the favorable shift in funding sources,
reduced interest expense by approximately $20.5 million, however, the
increase in the volume of average interest bearing liabilities contributed
approximately $10.8 million of increase to interest expense. 

Compared to the fourth quarter of 1998, net interest income declined
approximately $1.2 million.  Average earning assets and net interest income
in the first quarter of 1999 declined, in part, due to the effect of the
acquisition of approximately $400 million of bank-owned life insurance in
late December, 1998.

Average earning assets in the first quarter of 1999 were relatively unchanged
from the fourth quarter of 1998 but increased $855.7 million or 4.6% compared
to the same period a year ago.  Average loans, including securitized
adjustable rate mortgage loans (ARMs), grew approximately $658.4 million or
4.7% compared to the first quarter of last year. Average securities,
excluding securitized ARMs, increased $187.0 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 compared with the same period in the prior year while
other earning assets were relatively unchanged.

Average interest bearing liabilities increased $937.9 million or 6.1% in the
first quarter of 1999 compared to the same period in 1998.  Since the first
quarter of 1998, average interest bearing deposits increased $653.5 million
or 5.4% while average total borrowings increased $284.4 million.

<PAGE>
Average noninterest bearing deposits increased $175.8 million or 7.3% in the
current quarter compared to the same period last year.

The growth and composition of the Corporation's quarterly average loan
portfolio for the current quarter and previous four quarters are reflected in
the following table.  Securitized ARM loans which are classified in the
consolidated balance sheets as investment securities available for sale are
included to provide a more meaningful comparison ($ in millions):

</TABLE>

Compared with the first quarter of 1998, total consolidated average loans,
leases and securitized ARMs increased $659 million or 4.7%. Loan growth was
primarily attributable to commercial banking. Total loan growth in commercial
banking amounted $1.0 billion or 13.6% and was driven by commercial loan
growth of $733 million and commercial real estate loan growth of $241
million. Retail Banking loan growth of $239 million in home equity loans and
lines and $129 million in lease financing receivables were offset by a
decline in residential real estate loans and securitized ARMs of $669
million.  The decrease in residential real estate loans and securitized ARMs
reflects the effect of increased prepayments associated with customer
refinancings to fixed rate loans throughout 1998 and early 1999 due to the
interest rate environment.  Generally, the Corporation sells fixed rate
residential real estate loans in the secondary market. One to four family
residential real estate loans sold to investors amounted to $530 million in
the first quarter of 1999 compared to $520 million in the first quarter of
1998 and $2.2 billion in all of 1998.

Compared with the first quarter of 1998, average deposit growth amounted to $829
million or 5.7%.  Money market, which exhibited the largest growth, along with
noninterest bearing deposits and brokered CDs accounted for approximately $1,154
million of the growth in average deposits.  Partially, offsetting this growth
were declines in CDs and time deposits of $276 million.  This shift in deposit
mix from CDs to other transaction accounts had a positive impact on the net
interest income in the first quarter of 1999 compared to the same period in the
prior year.

 (a) Fully taxable equivalent basis (FTE), assuming a Federal income tax rate
     of 35%, and excluding disallowed interest expense.
 (b) Based on average balances excluding fair value adjustments for available
     for sale securities.

The yield on average earning assets decreased 36 basis points since the first
quarter of 1998.  This decline in yield reflects the run-off experienced
throughout 1998 of higher yielding loans and investment securities which was
offset by a slowing in the first quarter of 1999 of accelerated amortization of
purchase accounting premiums assigned to acquired loans and investment
securities due to prepayments and refinancings.  Excluding accelerated
amortization of purchase accounting adjustments, the yield on earning assets was
7.51% in the current quarter compared to 7.92% in the first quarter of the prior
year.  The yield on loans and securitized ARMs, the largest earning asset,
declined 39 basis points which had a negative impact on net interest income of
approximately $13.8 million compared with the first quarter of 1998.  Net
interest income may continue to be adversely affected if recent prepayment
experience continues.  The cost of interest bearing deposits decreased 50 basis
points from the same quarter of the previous year which reflects the general
interest rate environment and the favorable shift in the mix of deposit types. 
Short-term borrowing costs decreased 74 basis points and long-term borrowing
costs decreased 32 basis points, respectively, compared with the first quarter
of 1998.  The decrease in borrowing costs compared to the prior year first
quarter reflects the refinancing of maturities at favorable rates.  The increase
in average borrowings reflects balance sheet growth and the effect of Treasury
stock repurchases.

At March 31, 1999, the Corporation had standard receive fixed/pay floating
interest rate swaps and interest rate caps and floors designated as hedges to
manage the interest rate volatility associated with variable rate loans and
variable rate debt.  In addition, the Corporation had callable receive fixed /
pay floating interest rate swaps designated as hedges to offset callable CDs.

The Corporation's position with respect to interest rate swaps and interest rate
caps and floors designated as hedges at March 31, 1999 consisted of the

For the three months ended March 31, 1999, the effect on net interest income
resulting from the swaps, net of cap and floor premium amortization, was a
positive $2.3 million compared with a positive $1.0 million in the same period
in 1998.


            PROVISION FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES AND CREDIT QUALITY
            ------------------------------------------------------
At March 31, 1999, nonperforming assets were $134.0 million compared to $118.7
million at December 31, 1998 and $91.3 million at March 31, 1998.  Nonaccrual
loans and leases, the largest component of nonperforming assets, increased $15.3
million since year-end 1998 and was primarily due to increases in nonaccrual
commercial and commercial real estate loans.  Other real estate owned increased
$0.5 million while renegotiated loans and leases and loans and leases past due
90 days or more decreased $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, since
December 31, 1998.

Net charge-offs in the first quarter of 1999 amounted to $1.3 million or .04%
of average loans and leases compared to net charge-offs of $5.2 million or .15%
of average loans and leases in the fourth quarter of 1998 and net recoveries of
$2.0 million in the first quarter of 1998. Personal loans accounted for the
majority of charge-off activity in the first quarter of 1999.

The allowance for loan and lease losses amounted to $229.7 million or 1.61% of
total loans and leases at March 31, 1999 compared to $226.1 million or 1.62% at
December 31, 1998 and $215.5 million or 1.63% at March 31, 1998.  The coverage
ratio of the allowance for loan and lease losses to nonperforming loans and
leases was 184% at March 31, 1999 compared with 206% at December 31, 1998 and
270% at March 31, 1998.

The provision for loan and lease losses of $4.9 million in the first quarter of
1999 was unchanged compared to the first quarter of 1998.

                                 OTHER INCOME
                                 ------------
Total other income in the first quarter of 1999 amounted to $195.4 million, an
increase of $16.1 million or 9.0%, compared to $179.3 million in the same period
last year.

Data  processing revenue increased $12.6 million or 13.0% from $96.8 million in
the first quarter of 1998 to $109.4 million in the current quarter. Processing
and conversion revenue increased $13.2 million or 18.8%.  Software and
consulting revenue decreased $0.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Buyout
fees increased $1.4 million.  Compared to the fourth quarter of 1998, revenue
from data processing services decreased $5.1 million, which was largely due to
the $4.8 million decrease in buyout fees which can vary from period to period. 
Revenue growth levels in 1999 may be below historical patterns due to the loss
of a significant customer because of an acquisition and general reluctance of
potential customers to change their information processing or application
systems with year 2000 rapidly approaching.

Trust services revenue amounted to $23.9 million in the first quarter of 1999,
an increase of $2.4 million or 11.2% compared to $21.5 million in the first
quarter of 1998.

Other customer services revenue amounted to $38.5 million in the first quarter
of 1999 compared with $38.2 million in the first quarter of 1998. Service
charges on deposits increased $1.4 million, other commissions and fees increased
$0.4 million while loan and late fees decreased $1.5 million in the current
quarter compared to like period last year.

Net equity securities gains from the Corporation's Capital Markets Group
amounted to $1.5 million this quarter compared to $6.4 million in the first
quarter of 1998.

All other income amounted to $22.0 million in the first quarter of 1999 compared
to $16.1 million in the first quarter of 1998.  Gains from the sale of
residential mortgage loans, which includes the servicing rights, of $7.9 million
was unchanged. Revenue from bank-owned life insurance acquired late in December,
1998, amounted to $5.4 million.


                                 OTHER EXPENSE
                                 -------------
Total other expense in the first quarter of 1999 amounted to $234.3 million
compared with $221.2 million in the first quarter of 1998.

The Corporation's nonbanking businesses, especially its Data Services segment
("Data Services"), continue to be the primary contributors to operating expense
growth. Data Services expense growth represents approximately 89% of the
consolidated operating expense growth and reflects the cost of adding 
processing capacity and other related costs associated with increased revenue
growth, costs associated with acquiring and developing new products and services
and maintenance activities for Year 2000.

Expense control is sometimes measured in the financial services industry by the
efficiency ratio statistic.  The efficiency ratio is calculated by taking total
other expense (excluding nonrecurring charges) divided by the sum of total other
income (including Capital Markets net equity securities gains or losses but
excluding investment securities gains or losses) and net interest income on a
fully taxable equivalent basis. The Corporation's efficiency ratios for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1998
are:

<PAGE>
Salaries and employee benefits expense amounted to $134.1 million in the first
quarter of 1999 compared to $126.4 million in the first quarter of 1998, an
increase of $7.7 million or 6.1%.  Salaries and employee benefits expense of
Data Services increased $5.6 million which was offset by a decrease in contract
programmers of $2.5 million in the current quarter compared to the same period
last year.  At March 31, 1999, Data Services had on average approximately 134
more full time equivalent employees when compared to March 31, 1998 which
reflects increases in e-commerce and technology services.  Compared to the first
quarter of 1998, expense growth in the current quarter in salaries and employee
benefits was 2.6% for the banking segment while all others were relatively
unchanged.

Data Services expense growth accounted for approximately $3.8 million or 77% of
the increase in net occupancy, equipment, software and processing expenses in
the first quarter of 1999 compared to the first quarter of 1998.

Data Services also accounted for approximately $1.8 million or 72% of the
increase in professional services expense which represents Year 2000 activity
and new product development initiatives.

Other expense amounted to $35.9 million in the first quarter of 1999, a decrease
of $2.3 million or 6.0% compared to the first quarter of 1998.  Amortization
expense for goodwill and other intangibles increased $4.0 million and amounted
to $15.0 million in the first quarter of 1999. Advertising, promotion and
development and customer related expense decreased $1.4 million. Due to
accelerated prepayment activity, the Corporation reduced its recourse
obligations associated with securitized ARM's by $0.8 million in the first
quarter of 1999.

Other expense is also affected by the capitalization of costs, net of
amortization associated with software development and customer data processing
conversions.  During the first quarter of 1999, capitalization, net of
amortization, increased $1.4 million for conversions and $2.5 million for
software development, respectively, which decreased other expenses by $3.9
million compared to the first quarter of 1998.


                                INCOME TAXES
                                ------------
The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 1999
amounted to $43.5 million or 33.7% of pre-tax income compared to $42.4 million
or 35.9% of pre-tax income for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The change
in the effective tax is primarily due to the increase in tax-exempt income.


                              CAPITAL RESOURCES
                              -----------------
Shareholders' equity was $2.18 billion at March 31, 1999 compared to $2.24
billion at December 31, 1998 and $2.07 billion at March 31, 1998.

The Company has net unrealized gains on securities available for sale at March
31, 1999 of $40.6 million, a decrease of $17.5 million compared to December 31,
1998.

During the first quarter of 1999, M&I repurchased 2.03 million shares of its
Common Stock under the authorization by the Board of Directors to repurchase up
to 6.0 million common shares annually.  The aggregate cost of the shares
repurchased was $116.5 million.

The Corporation continues to have a strong capital base and its regulatory
capital ratios are significantly above the minimum requirements as shown in the
following tables.

YEAR 2000 Update
- ----------------
The following is an update of the state of readiness, contingency plans and
estimated costs for addressing year 2000.  This update should be read in
conjunction with the discussion on Year 2000 contained in the Corporation's 1998
Annual Report on Form 10-K.  For purposes of this discussion, the summary has
been segregated between Data Services and the remainder of the Corporation and
Subsidiaries.

                                DATA SERVICES
                                -------------
As previously reported, in September and October of 1998 the service bureau core
application systems were converted and are now running on year 2000 compliant
software.  "19xx" testing and system verification was completed by a selected
group of customers. In February, 1999, Data Services completed the internal
phase of "20xx" testing and in March, 1999, customer proxy testing was
completed. Customers were involved in the development of the test scope which
included development of test plans, test scripts and related infrastructure
environment guidelines.  Approximately 58 financial institution customers
participated in the testing.  M&I's banking affiliates were participants in both
of these testing phases.  In addition, the process was reviewed and monitored
by an independent third party to help ensure; (1) the test plans and cases were
developed based on customer input; (2) the tests were executed and validated by
customers; (3) the tests were conducted using Year 2000 renovated software; (4)
test results were documented and reviewed to determine their reliability and;
(5) a representative cross section of customers participated in the tests.  All
issues which emerged from the tests have been satisfactorily resolved.  Data
Services will continue testing to ensure other modifications and enhancements
implemented prior to Year 2000 are compliant.  Because Data Services is in a
technology business, it is heavily reliant on software and hardware products. 
Data Services is continuing to validate year 2000 compliance for all third-party
software and computer hardware including mainframe, open systems, network and
desktop equipment and is validating the risks and state of readiness for year
2000 with respect to recently acquired businesses. 

<PAGE>
With this critical phase of the year 2000 project substantially complete, Data
Services focus will be on assessing its physical infrastructure, perform ongoing
testing and continue work on contingency strategies. Of the approximately 600
identified areas/ products, Data Services has documented contingency plans for
98%, documented contingency test plans for 96% and executed 70% of the test
plans as of March 31, 1999.

Future data processing revenue is critically dependent upon successfully
implementing the necessary changes to ensure year 2000 compliance.


               CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES (Excluding Data Services)
               ------------------------------------------------------
Designated "Mission Critical" software has been renovated and validated.

The risk assessment phase of assessing vendor readiness and testing hardware has
been completed. Certification of "Non-Mission Critical" hardware, software,
office machines and building systems is underway and is anticipated to be
completed in the second quarter of 1999.

The risk assessment for customer readiness has been completed. Customers who
have been assigned a moderate or high risk factor are being monitored on an
ongoing basis.

Although M&I has had contingency plans (disaster recovery) in place covering
major business disruptions like power outages and communications or computer
system failures for some time, in January 1998, the Corporation began to revise
these plans to specifically include year 2000 issues.  As a part of this process
the Corporation has identified a list of "most reasonably likely worst case
scenarios" and action plans to minimize business disruption if they were to
occur.  The major scenarios identified take into account the Corporation's
dependency on utilities, government and customer behavior over which it has very
limited control.  Reviews have been made of the year 2000 programs and
contingency plans for the Federal Reserve and major utilities.  Periodic updates
of their progress in following their year 2000 readiness timetables are being
made.  Contingency plan revisions are expected to be completed in the second
quarter and testing of contingency plans is expected to begin in the third
quarter of 1999

                            YEAR 2000 RELATED COSTS
                            -----------------------
The majority of Data Services' contracts do not provide for additional
reimbursement over and above the previously contracted maintenance amounts.  The
current estimate of the Corporation's total net direct cost for the year 2000
effort is approximately $45 million with Data Services representing
approximately 90% of that amount. The current estimate represents an increase
of approximately $5 million since year-end 1998.  Approximately $28.4 million
has been expensed through March 31, 1999.  The cost for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998 were $3.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively.
Replacement equipment and software are being capitalized or expensed in
accordance with the Corporation's normal accounting policies.  Write-offs of the
net book value of equipment or software that is not Year 2000 compliant is
included in the above estimates.


Recent Developments
- -------------------
On April 1, 1999, the Corporation, through its Data Services Division, completed
the purchase acquisition of the assets, operational processes and customer
relationships of the Electronic Banking Services business unit of ADP for
approximately $70 million in cash.  The acquired software products and
outsourcing solutions are designed to provide businesses with access to their
banking information and transactions through a spectrum of delivery methods
including an internet web browser, a direct PC connection or telephone.


                        Forward-Looking Statements
                        --------------------------

and Analysis of Financial Position and Results of Operations.

                            Interest Rate Risk
                            ------------------
The Corporation's consolidated static gap position as of March 31, 1999 has not
materially changed since December 31, 1998.

Along with the static gap analysis, determining the sensitivity of future
earnings to a hypothetical +/- 100 basis point parallel rate shock is
accomplished through the use of simulation modeling. The following table
illustrates these amounts as of March 31, 1999, and December 31, 1998, which are
within the limits established by the Corporation:
<TABLE>

                                        -----------------------------
Hypothetical Change in Interest Rate    March 31, 1999  December 31, 
- ------------------------------------    --------------  -------------
<S>                                    <C>             <C>
  100 basis point Shock Up                   (11.8) %         (8.6)%

  100 basis point Shock Down                   9.2  %          5.9 %
</TABLE>

These results are based solely on the repricing characteristics of the balance
sheet, adjusted for expected prepayments, due to immediate and sustained
parallel changes in market rates and do not reflect the earnings sensitivity
that may arise from other factors such as changes in the shape of the yield
curve, the change in spread between key market rates, or accounting recognition
for impairment of certain intangibles.  The above results are also considered
to be conservative estimates due to the fact that no management action to
mitigate potential income variances are included within the simulation process.
This action would include, but would not be limited to, adjustments to the
repricing characteristics of any on or off balance sheet item with regard to
short-term rate projections and current market value assessments.

Another component of interest rate risk, fair value at risk,  is determined by
the Corporation through the technique of simulating the fair value of equity in
changing rate environments.  This technique involves determining the  present
value of all contractual asset and liability cash flows (adjusted for
prepayments) based on a predetermined discount rate.  The net result of all
these balance sheet items determine the fair value of equity. The fair value of
equity resulting from the current flat rate scenario is compared to the fair
value of equity calculated using discount rates +/- 100 basis points from flat
rates to determine the fair value of equity at risk.  The fair value of equity
at risk is less than 4.0% of the market value of the Corporation as of March 31,
1999.

In September 1998, the Corporation began acting as an intermediary for swap
agreements on behalf of its customers.  These are derivative financial
instruments and are matched off by the Corporation to eliminate exposure to
market risk.  Interest rate swaps held for trading included $30 million in
notional amount of receive fixed and $30 million in notional amount of pay fixed
at March 31, 1999.

Item 2 - Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds
- ---------------------------------------------------

     As of March 31, 1999, Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company ("NML")
     beneficially owned 8,665,374 shares of the Registrant's common stock (the
     "Common Stock").  NML's ownership consists of 988,188 shares of Common
     Stock and 685,314 shares of the Registrant's Preferred Stock.  The
     Preferred Stock is convertible into 7,677,185 shares of Common Stock. 
     This information is based on Amendment No. 10 to Schedule 13G filed by
     NML on February 10, 1998.  The Investment Agreement between the
     Registrant and NML pursuant to which NML originally invested in the
     Registrant's securities has expired.  Therefore, certain rights and
     restrictions relating to NML's ownership of the Registrant's securities
     have expired, including the right to exchange shares of Common Stock for
     shares of Preferred Stock, the right to purchase up to 24.9% of the
     Common Stock on a fully diluted basis, and the right to require the
     Company to repurchase its stock at not less than prescribed prices after
     a "change-in-control" or upon the occurrence of a "business combination." 
     However, NML is subject to the limitations set forth in the December 27,
     1985 letter to NML from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
     Board, including limitations as to NML's voting power, dispositive power,
     and aggregate amount beneficially owned.
