The consolidated financial statements include all adjustments which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statement of the results of
these periods and are of a normal recurring nature.

NOTE 2

On February 10, 1994, the Registrant declared a three-for-two stock split, in
the form of a dividend, which was distributed on April 11, 1994 to
shareholders of record on March 10, 1994.  All per share amounts and average
shares outstanding have been restated to give effect to the stock split.

NOTE 3

Effective January 3, 1994, the Registrant acquired Metro Bancorporation, a
Waterloo, Iowa-based bank holding company with assets totaling $370 million.
Effective February 1, 1994, the Registrant acquired United Postal Bancorp,
Inc., holding company for United Postal Savings Association, with total assets
approximating $1.3 billion.  Both of these acquisitions were accounted for as
poolings-of-interests. The historical consolidated financial statements as of
December 31, 1993 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1993

such number may be fixed, from time to time, at not less than twelve
(12) nor more than twenty-four (24), by, or in the manner provided in,
the By-laws of the Corporation, and any such change shall be reported to
the Secretary of State of the State of Missouri within thirty (30)
calendar days of such change.  The Directors shall be divided into three
classes:  Class I, Class II and Class III; and the number of Directors
in such classes shall be as nearly equal as possible.  The term of
office of the initial Class I Directors shall expire at the annual
meeting of shareholders of the Corporation in 1986; the term of office
of the initial Class II Directors shall expire at the annual meeting of
shareholders of the Corporation in 1987; and the term of office of the

                                    -2-
<PAGE> 4
initial Class III Directors shall expire at the annual meeting of
shareholders of the Corporation in 1988; or in each case until their
respective successors are duly elected and qualified.  At each annual
election held after 1985 the Directors chosen to succeed those whose
terms then expire shall be identified as being of the same class as the
Directors they succeed and shall be elected for a term of three (3)
years expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting or thereafter
until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.  If
the number of Directors is changed, any increase or decrease in the
number of Directors shall be apportioned among the classes so as to
maintain the number of Directors in each class as nearly equal as
possible.  Any Director elected to fill a vacancy in any class (whether
such vacancy is caused by death, resignation, or removal, or by an
increase in the number of Directors in such class) shall hold office for
a term which shall expire with the term of the Directors in such class.
At a meeting called expressly for that purpose, the entire Board of
Directors, or any individual Director or Directors, may be removed
without cause, only upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
seventy-five percent (75%) of the total votes to which all of the shares
then entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders called for an
election of Directors are entitled; provided, however, that, if less
than the entire Board of Directors is to be so removed without cause, no
individual Director may be so removed if the votes cast against such
Director's removal would be sufficient to elect such Director if then
cumulatively voted at an election of the class of Directors of which
such Director is a part.  At a meeting called expressly for that
purpose, any Director may be removed by the shareholders for cause by
the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled
to vote upon his election.

      B. Vote Required for Amendment.  In addition to any affirmative
         ----------------------------
vote required by law or otherwise, any amendment, alteration, change or
repeal of the provisions of this Article 6 shall require the affirmative
vote of the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the total
votes to which all of the shares then entitled to vote at a meeting of
shareholders called for an election of Directors are entitled, unless
such amendment, alteration, change or repeal has previously been
expressly approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation by the
affirmative, vote or consent of at least sixty-six and two-thirds
percent (66 2/3%) of the number of Directors then authorized by, or in
the manner provided in, the By-laws, in which case the shareholder vote
required by this Section B of Article 6 shall not apply.

            Corporation in a freely negotiated transaction and the Board

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

 During the second quarter of the year, Mercantile continued a pattern
 of solid earnings growth that has been consistent over the past four
 years. This record-setting performance was driven by improvements in
 operating efficiencies and asset quality combined with a strong net
 interest rate margin and an increase in loan demand.

 Net income for the quarter was $40,203,000, an increase of 18.8% over
 the $33,847,000 earned during the same period last year. On a per
 share basis, net income increased by 16.3% to $.93 this year from $.80
 in 1993.

 For the second quarter of 1994, net interest income was $126,725,000,
 and the net interest rate margin was a strong 4.70% compared to 4.62%
 last year. Increased loan demand in Mercantile's markets was reflected
 in loan growth of 2.0% year-to-year, as total loans outstanding at
 period end were more than $7.6 billion, up from less than $7.5 billion
 in 1993.

 Asset quality measures for the Corporation continued to improve,
 placing Mercantile among the top banks in the U.S. Non-performing
 loans at June 30, 1994 declined to $34,833,000 or .46% of total loans
 from $63,627,000 or .85% last year. Foreclosed assets also declined,
 and were $31,608,000 at the end of the second quarter of this year
 versus $56,934,000 in 1993.

 The reserve for possible loan losses grew to $172,493,000 at June 30
 of this year and represented 2.26% of total loans and 495.20% of non-
 performing loans compared with a reserve of $151,694,000 and ratios of
 2.03% and 238.41%, respectively, at the end of 1993's second quarter.
 The provision for possible loan losses for the quarter decreased 44.7%
 to $8,015,000 in 1994 from $14,485,000 last year.

 The Corporation has announced two new merger agreements-one with Wedge
 Bank in Alton, Illinois, the other with UNSL Financial Corp in
 Lebanon, Missouri. These mergers will further strengthen Mercantile's
 franchise in a number of its existing markets, and provide the
 Corporation with entry into several attractive new communities.

 Mercantile has established a track record of strong financial
 performance, while significantly expanding its franchise through
 mergers. The Corporation continues along the strategic path that has
 made these accomplishments possible and that is leading Mercantile to
 the ranks of the best banks in the United States.

FINANCIAL COMMENTARY

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

 Net income for the second quarter of 1994 was $40,203,000, an 18.8%
 improvement from the $33,847,000 earned in the same period a year ago.
 On a per share basis, net income was $.93, up 16.3% from the $.80
 earned in last year's second quarter. Return on assets improved to
 1.33% in the second quarter compared with 1.27% in the first quarter
 of this year and 1.11% last year, while return on average equity was
 16.05% versus 14.99% in 1993.

 For the first half of 1994, net income was $79,058,000, up 18.2% from
 the $66,912,000 earned last year, and on a per share basis was $1.84,
 an improvement of 16.5% from the $1.58 recorded in the first half of
 1993. When compared with last year, first-half 1994 overall results
 reflected a slight improvement in net interest income, lower levels of
 operating expenses, a decline in the provision for possible loan
 losses and a small decrease in other income. For the first six months
 of 1994, return on average assets was 1.30% compared with 1.09% last
 year, while return on average equity was 15.99% in 1994, up from
 15.14% last year.

 The financial statements have been restated to include the pre-
 acquisition accounts and results of operations of United Postal
 Bancorp, Inc. and Metro Bancorporation, which were merged with
 Mercantile on February 1, 1994 and January 3, 1994, respectively, in
 transactions accounted for as poolings-of-interests. In addition, the
 restatement reflected a three-for-two stock split, which was paid in
 the form of a dividend on April 11, 1994 to shareholders of record on
 March 10, 1994.

 On July 6, 1994, Mercantile announced plans to expand its banking
 operations in southwestern Illinois through a merger with Wedge Bank,
 a $210 million-asset bank headquartered in Alton, Illinois. On July
 13, 1994, the Corporation announced plans to merge with UNSL Financial
 Corp of Lebanon, Missouri, a $464 million-asset Missouri-chartered
 savings and loan association in southwestern Missouri. Both
 transactions will be accounted for as poolings-of-interests and are
 expected to close by year-end 1994.

 Net interest income increased .6% to $126,725,000 for the second
 quarter of 1994 and .7% to $252,118,000 for the first six months of
 1994. The net interest rate margin was 4.70% this quarter compared
 with 4.58% in the first quarter and 4.62% for the second quarter of
 1993, while the year-to-date margin was 4.64% compared with 4.57% last
 year. Average earning assets for the first half of 1994 of $11.1
 billion were flat in comparison with the $11.2 billion last year.
 However, a positive trend emerged as quarterly average loans grew by
 $98,653,000 or 1.3% from the first quarter of 1994.

 Other income was $47,016,000 for the second quarter of 1994, a
 decrease of $3,216,000 or 6.4% from a year ago. For the six months of
 1994, other income was $95,938,000, a decrease of $3,934,000 or 3.9%
 from last year. Modest growth

 in trust fees, service charges and letters of credit fees were offset
 by a significant decrease of $2,246,000 in net securities gains and by
 declines in credit card fees, mortgage and investment banking income,
 and miscellaneous revenues.

 Second-quarter non-interest expenses were down 5.0% from a year ago
 and totaled $102,663,000 compared with $108,015,000 last year, and
 year-to-date were $206,487,000, down 4.1%. The reduction in expense
 levels resulted primarily from the realization of synergies from
 mergers completed in prior years and lower foreclosed property
 expense. The result was an improvement in the year-to-date overhead
 ratio to 58.55% compared with 60.66% last year, and a lowering of the
 other expense to average assets ratio to 3.40% versus 3.52% in the
 first half of 1993.

 The provision for possible loan losses for the second quarter of 1994
 was $8,015,000 compared with $14,485,000 the prior year, and was
 $16,398,000 for the first six months of 1994 compared with $28,534,000
 in 1993. Net charge-offs for the first six months of 1994 and 1993
 were $12,556,000 and $43,410,000, respectively, and on an annualized
 basis were .34% of average loans compared with 1.16% last year. At
 June 30, 1994, the reserve for possible loan losses was $172,493,000
 and covered 495.20% of non-performing loans compared with 293.39% at
 year-end and 238.41% last June 30.

 Non-performing loans as of June 30, 1994 were $34,833,000 or .46% of
 total loans, down from the year-end 1993 figures of $57,483,000 or
 .78%, and $63,627,000 or .85% at June 30, 1993. Foreclosed assets
 declined to $31,608,000 compared with $36,014,000 at year's end and
 $56,934,000 last June 30.

 Earnings in the St. Louis Area (Mercantile Bank of St. Louis N.A.,
 United Postal Savings Association and Mercantile Trust Company N.A.)
 for the first half of 1994 were $43,339,000, up 20.4% from 1993. These
 results reflected significant reductions in operating expenses and the
 provision for possible loan losses, partially offset by a slight
 decline in net interest income and other income. The other income
 decrease was due largely to a higher level of securities gains during
 the first half of 1993 at United Postal. Return on average assets for
 the group was 1.36% compared with 1.12% for the first half of 1993. It
 is currently anticipated that United Postal Savings Association will
 be merged into Mercantile Bank of St. Louis N.A. in mid-August 1994.

 In the 36 Community Banks, net income was $33,852,000, an increase of
 6.9%, while return on average assets improved to 1.55% compared with
 1.43% last year. Earnings for the three banks in the Kansas City Area
 for the first half of 1994 were $10,164,000, up 19.5% from a year ago.
 Return on average assets was 1.26% compared with 1.04% last year.

 Consolidated assets of $11.9 billion were up 1.3% from last June 30.
 Core deposits decreased by 2.7% to $8.6 billion, loans were $7.6
 billion, up 2.0% from last year, and shareholders' equity of $1.0
 billion was 11.0% higher than at June 30, 1993. Tier I capital to
 risk-adjusted assets improved to 11.58% compared with 10.53% last
 year, while Total capital to risk-adjusted assets at June 30, 1994 and
 1993 was 15.61% and 14.05%, respectively.

 The following financial commentary presents a more thorough discussion
 and analysis of the results of operations and financial position of
 the Corporation for the second quarter and first half of 1994.

NET INTEREST INCOME

 Net interest income for the second quarter of 1994 was $126,725,000, a
 .6% increase over the $125,992,000 earned last year, and for the first
 six months of 1994 was $252,118,000, a .7% improvement over last year.
 This slight growth was the net result of a widening in the net
 interest rate margin, while average earning assets remained
 essentially flat. Factors contributing to the higher net interest rate
 margins in 1994 included higher average levels of non-interest bearing
 deposits

 and shareholders' equity, a continued decline in non-performing
 assets, a decrease in higher-costing retail certificates of deposit as
 a result of the movement of these consumer deposits to lower-costing
 checking, savings and money market accounts, a contraction in lower-
 yielding money market investments, growth in the higher-yielding
 consumer loan categories, and the generally higher level of interest
 rates in the second quarter of 1994. For the first half of 1994,
 average loans decreased slightly by $63,029,000 or .8%, while
 investments in debt and equity securities decreased by $42,785,000 or
 1.3%.

 For the first six months of 1994, average loans in the St. Louis
 Area and Kansas City Area banks declined by 1.9% and 4.5%,
 respectively, partially offset by a volume increase at the
 Community Banks of 1.7%. A more meaningful comparison of loan
 volumes is between the first and second quarters of 1994, during
 which average loans grew by 1.3% or $98,653,000, or 5.2% on an
 annualized basis. Commercial loan growth was $83,679,000 or 4.2%.
 Residential mortgage loans were down slightly, but that trend is
 now reversing, as the pipeline mix is changing to adjustable-rate
 from fixed-rate loans, which will be added to the loan portfolio in
 the third quarter. Average credit card loans were down by 2.1% due
 to seasonal factors and the current competitive nature of that
 market. Other consumer loans increased by 3.0% due to strong growth
 in indirect auto lending.

</TABLE>

 The year-to-date average investment portfolio declined by $42,785,000
 or 1.3% from last year. Approximately 10% of the portfolio was
 classified as available-for-sale; the FAS 115 impact on shareholders'
 equity was not material. Short-term investments are primarily used for
 short-term excess liquidity or balancing the interest rate sensitivity
 of the Corporation, and on average increased by $15,820,000 or 5.9%
 during the first half of 1994.

 Significant changes in the year-to-date mix of deposits reflected the
 continuing strategy to be substantially funded by core deposits, and
 the disintermediation of retail certificates of deposit into interest
 bearing demand and savings accounts in the current low rate
 environment. Core deposits were 94.57% of total deposits, yet on
 average were down 2.4% from last year. On average, interest bearing
 demand accounts increased by $123,910,000 or 8.4%, money market
 accounts grew by
                                                                              7
<PAGE> 9
FINANCIAL COMMENTARY (CONT'D)

 $8,127,000 or .5% and savings accounts grew by $77,176,000 or 9.2%,
 while retail certificates of deposit declined by $462,274,000 or
 12.8%. This more costly source of funds declined to 33.78% of total
 core deposits from 37.84% in 1993, as customers preferred maturity
 flexibility with their investments. Average short-term borrowings
 decreased by $19,304,000 or 2.3%, while purchased deposits increased
 by $17,354,000 or 3.4%.

 Non-interest bearing funds grew substantially in 1994 compared with a
 year ago, thereby enhancing the level of net interest income and the
 net interest rate margin. Average non-interest bearing demand balances
 (net of cash and due from bank balances) grew by $81,646,000 or 7.3%,
 primarily due to new customer relationships and higher compensating
 balance requirements for corporate services. Average shareholders'
 equity increased by $104,683,000 or 11.8% due to earnings retained,
 new shares issued in the Mt. Vernon purchase during the third quarter
 of 1993, and stock issued under employee benefit plans.

 The factors discussed above are consistent with Mercantile's overall
 corporate policy relative to rate sensitivity and liquidity, which is
 to produce the optimal yield and maturity mix consistent with interest
 rate expectations and projected liquidity needs. Mercantile currently
 does not utilize derivative instruments for speculation or in the
 hedging of its balance sheet, and has only a very small portfolio of
 interest rate swaps, which were assumed in the United Postal
 transaction. The Consolidated Quarterly Average Balance Sheet, with
 rates earned and paid, is summarized by quarter on Pages 16 and 17.

OTHER INCOME

 Non-interest income decreased 6.4% during the second quarter of 1994
 to $47,016,000, and for the six months was $95,938,000 compared with
 $99,872,000 a year ago, a decline of 3.9%. Trust fees, service charges
 and letters of credit fees all improved from last year, while
 investment banking revenue, credit card fees, mortgage banking income
 and miscellaneous income declined. Securities gains were $433,000 this
 year compared with $2,679,000 last year.

 Service charge income of $14,486,000 was down .2% or $25,000 for the
 second quarter and up 1.1% or $322,000 for the first six months of
 1994, as deposit volumes were flat with 1993 and corporate customers
 opted to use compensating deposit balances to offset analysis service
 charges rather than pay fees.

 Credit card fee income was $5,797,000 for the second quarter of 1994,
 a 9.5% decrease from the 1993 level. For the first six months of 1994,
 credit card income decreased $252,000 or 2.1% from the comparable 1993
 period. Credit card income primarily represents fees charged merchants
 for processing credit card transactions, fees received on transactions
 of Mercantile cardholders and cardholders' annual fees. Competitive
 market factors have tightened credit card fee and transaction pricing.

 Mortgage banking is a significant line of business for Mercantile
 following the merger of United Postal; total loans serviced exceeded
 $3.2 billion at June 30, 1994. Overall, mortgage banking revenues
 decreased by $256,000 or 6.2% from the first half of 1993. A breakout
 of mortgage banking revenues is provided in Exhibit 5.

FINANCIAL COMMENTARY (CONT'D)

 Investment banking fees and commissions, which consists of transaction
 fees for services performed as a dealer bank for both individual and
 corporate customers, including sales of annuities and mutual funds,
 profits earned on limited trading positions, and foreign exchange
 revenues, were $2,263,000 for the second quarter of 1994, an increase
 of 3.6% from 1993. For the first six months, revenues were down
 $143,000 or 3.0% from the 1993 results. This source of revenue can
 vary depending on movements in interest rates and overall market
 conditions.

 Securities gains declined by $2,246,000 from the first six months of
 1993, when United Postal sold significant volumes of securities in a
 portfolio restructuring. All other non-interest income was down 23.8%
 for the quarter and 13.4% year-to-date, as 1993 included significant
 lease termination gains.

OTHER EXPENSE

 Expenses other than interest expense and the provision for possible
 loan losses for the second quarter of 1994 were $102,663,000, a
 decline of 1.1% from last quarter and 5.0% from the second quarter of
 1993. For the first half of 1994, total other expenses were
 $206,487,000, a 4.1% decrease from the 1993 level. Total operating
 expenses were 3.40% of

 average assets compared with 3.52% for the first half of 1993. The
 overhead ratio, defined as operating expenses as a percentage of
 taxable-equivalent net interest income and other income, improved to
 58.32% in the current quarter from 58.78% last quarter, while the
 overhead ratio was 58.55% for the first six months of 1994 compared
 with 60.66% last year.

 Personnel costs increased 3.8% and 5.0%, respectively, during the
 second quarter and first half of 1994, reflecting the costs associated
 with staffing additional offices, support services and merit
 increases. Year-to-date benefit costs were up by 4.7%, in line with
 the 5.1% growth in salaries. Occupancy and equipment costs were up .4%
 during the first six months of 1994, reflecting the costs of
 maintaining additional offices and a consistent program of upgrading
 systems and equipment, offset by productivity gains.

 Expenses related to foreclosed property totaled only $751,000 compared
 with $4,055,000 last year, a decline of $3,304,000. FDIC insurance
 costs decreased by 6.2%, as the deposit base was lower and all
 Mercantile banks in 1994 were assessed premiums at the lowest $.23
 rate. Exhibit 6 details the composition of all other operating
 expenses, which in general have declined due to greater expense
 controls and the benefits of acquisition consolidation efforts.

RESERVE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES

 The reserve for possible loan losses was $172,493,000 or 2.26% of
 loans outstanding at June 30, 1994. This compares favorably with
 $168,651,000 or 2.28% at year's end and $151,694,000 or 2.03% at June
 30, 1993. The reserve for possible loan losses as a percentage of non-
 performing loans improved to 495.20% compared with 293.39% at year-end
 and 238.41% last year, and the earnings coverage of net charge-offs
 for the first half of 1994 was 11.28x compared with 3.11x last year.

 The year-to-date 1994 provision for possible loan losses was
 $16,398,000 compared with $28,534,000 last year, a decline of 42.5%.
 The annualized ratio of net charge-offs to average loans for the first
 six months of 1994 was .34% compared with 1.16% last year, while the
 corresponding net charge-off figures were $12,556,000 and $43,410,000,
 respectively.

 In the St. Louis Area, the annualized ratio of net charge-offs to
 average loans for the first half of 1994 was .11% compared with 1.71%
 in 1993, when significant write-downs were taken on two commercial
 real estate loans and one commercial loan. The second quarter of 1994
 included a significant recovery at Mercantile Bank of St. Louis N.A.
 on one commercial real estate loan, while the first quarter included
 charge-offs taken on three United Postal commercial real estate loans
 for which reserves were provided in the fourth quarter of 1993. In the
 Kansas City Area banks, the ratio of net charge-offs to average loans
 was .34% versus .32% last year. For the Community Banks as a group,
 the comparative ratios were .64% and .69% during the first half of
 1994 and 1993, respectively.

</TABLE>

 Credit card losses were 4.88% of average credit card loans in the
 first six months of 1994 compared with 4.19% in 1993, as net credit
 card charge-offs were $18,016,000 compared with $13,094,000 last year.
 Excluding credit card net charge-offs, Mercantile experienced net
 recoveries of $5,460,000 for the first six months of 1994.

 Mercantile evaluates the reserves of all banks on a quarterly basis to
 ensure the timely charge-off of loans and to determine the adequacy of
 each bank's reserve for possible loan losses. At June 30, 1994, the
 level of the individual Community Bank reserves as a percentage of
 total loans outstanding ranged from 1.46% to 6.36%, with a combined
 ratio of 2.40%. The coverage of non-performing loans was 462.12% on a
 combined basis. The St. Louis Area combined reserve was 2.10% of loans
 with a resulting coverage ratio of 485.43%, while the Kansas City Area
 banks combined reserve was 2.54% with 707.17% coverage of non-
 performing loans. Management believes the consolidated reserve of
 2.26% of total loans and 495.20% of non-performing loans as of June
 30, 1994 was adequate based on the risks identified at such date in
 the portfolios.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

 Non-performing loans (non-accrual and renegotiated loans) continued
 their decline to $34,833,000 or .46% of total loans outstanding at
 June 30, 1994 compared with $40,840,000 or .54% at March 31, 1994 and
 $63,627,000 or .85% at June 30, 1993. Foreclosed assets at June 30,
 1994 also were reduced to $31,608,000, compared with $34,417,000 at
 March 31, 1994 and $56,934,000 last year. The ratio of non-performing
 assets to outstanding loans and foreclosed assets declined to .87% at
 June 30, 1994 compared with 1.00% at March 31, 1994 and 1.60% last
 year.

 As noted in Exhibit 8, non-accrual loans declined by $19,987,000 from
 the year-end level, and were down $6,809,000 since March 31, 1994. The
 current year decline was primarily in the commercial and commercial
 real estate loan portfolios of United Postal, due to first-quarter
 write-downs on two credits and resolution of a significant credit. In
 the Kansas City Area banks and in the Community Banks as a group, non-
 accrual loans continued their decline and were down significantly from
 year-end.

 Exhibit 8 also summarizes comparative data on renegotiated loans and
 loans past due 90 days yet still accruing interest. The past due loans
 consisted largely of credit card and residential mortgage loans.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

 The current economic and regulatory environment has placed an
 increased emphasis on capital strength. Capital provides a solid
 foundation for anticipated future asset growth, and promotes depositor
 and investor confidence. Capital management is a continuous process at
 Mercantile, and ensures that capital is provided for current needs and
 anticipated growth. Mercantile's strong capital position has enabled
 it to profitably expand both its asset and deposit bases in the past
 four years, while maintaining its capital ratios at levels comparable
 to other quality banking organizations and substantially in excess of
 regulatory standards.

                                                                             13
