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
Effective January 3, 1995, the Registrant acquired UNSL
Financial Corp. ("UNSL"), a $508 million asset-holding
company for the Lebanon, Missouri-based United Savings Bank.
Effective May 1, 1995, the Registrant acquired TCBankshares,
Inc. ("TCB"), a $1.4 billion asset-holding company based in
North Little Rock, Arkansas. Also effective May 1, 1995, the
Registrant acquired Central Mortgage Bancshares, Inc.
("CMB"), a $655 million asset-bank holding company based in
Kansas City, Missouri. The UNSL, TCB, and CMB acquisitions
were accounted for as poolings-of-interests. The historical
consolidated financial statements have been restated to
reflect these transactions.
Also effective January 3, 1995, the Registrant acquired Wedge
Bank ("Wedge"), an Alton, Illinois bank with assets totaling
$196 million. The Wedge transaction meets the requirements
for treatment as a pooling-of-interests; however, due to the
immateriality of Wedge's financial condition and results of
operations to those of the Registrant, the historical
financial statements of the Registrant have not been restated
for the Wedge transaction.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Mercantile closed the second quarter of 1995 with a strong 12.7%
increase in earnings, attributed to steady loan growth, continued
reduction of operating expenses and solid contributions from core
businesses.
Net income for the second quarter of 1995 was $52,359,000, up from
$46,454,000 earned in the second quarter a year earlier. Per share net
income rose 11.2% to $.99 from $.89 last year.
For the second quarter, net interest income was $145,947,000, down
slightly from 1994's $148,509,000, with a net interest rate margin of
4.25%, compared with 4.60% in 1994. A $400,000,000 securitization of
credit card loans and more competitive pricing for both loans and
deposits accounted for the lower 1995 margins.
Total loans outstanding at period end were $10.1 billion, an increase
of 11.8% from 1994's $9.0 billion, as loan demand strengthened in
Mercantile's markets during the second quarter. Total assets at June
30, 1995 reached $15.3 billion and deposits in the corporation's banks
totaled $11.3 billion.
Asset quality remained strong, with non-performing loans at June 30,
1995 of $42,689,000, representing .42% of total loans, compared with
.47% in 1994. Mercantile's reserve for possible loan losses at June 30
of this year was 1.78% of total loans and 420.33% of non-performing
loans, compared with 2.11% and 447.31%, respectively, at June 30,
1994. The provision for possible loan losses for the quarter decreased
22.3% to $6,641,000 this year from $8,544,000 in 1994.
Furthering the corporation's aggressive growth initiatives, Mercantile
completed two mergers during the quarter. Central Mortgage Bancshares,
Inc., based in Kansas City, Missouri, and TCBankshares, based in North
Little Rock, Arkansas, joined Mercantile's growing network of
community banks.
As we move into the second half of 1995, I am confident that
Mercantile will continue to be a banking industry leader in financial
performance and in the quality of our products and service.

Mercantile was named Overall Gold Medal Winner for both the fourth
quarter and full year in 1994, in DLJ's Bank Performance Review
published in March. Ranking is based on performance in five
categories: profitability, capital strength, asset quality,
earnings per share growth and management and margin.
/ / SALOMON BROTHERS RANKED MERCANTILE ONE OF THE TOP TWO PERFORMING
BANKING INSTITUTIONS IN THE NATION, IN JUNE 1995. The Salomon
Brothers report noted enormous progress in each of four
categories: profitability, capital, productivity and credit
quality. Mercantile's performance was especially strong, given the
impact of several acquisitions completed last year.

FINANCIAL COMMENTARY
PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
Net income for Mercantile Bancorporation Inc. ("Corporation" or
"Mercantile") for the second quarter of 1995 was $52,359,000, a 12.7%
improvement from the $46,454,000 earned in the same period a year ago.
On a per common share basis, net income was $.99, up 11.2% from the
$.89 earned in last year's second quarter. Return on assets improved
to 1.37% in the second quarter compared with 1.32% in the first
quarter of this year and 1.29% last year, while return on average
equity was 16.19% versus 15.73% in 1994.
For the first half of 1995, net income was $102,062,000, up 10.9% from
the $92,049,000 earned last year, and on a per common share basis was
$1.92, an improvement of 9.1% from the $1.76 recorded in the first
half of 1994. When compared with last year, first-half 1995 overall
results reflected moderate improvement in both net interest income and
other income, and a lower level of operating expenses, partially
offset by an increase in the provision for possible loan losses. For
the first six months of 1995, return on average assets was 1.35%
compared with 1.28% last year, while return on average equity was
15.95% in 1995, up from 15.77% last year.
The financial statements have been restated to include the pre-
acquisition accounts and results of operations of UNSL Financial Corp
("UNSL"), Central Mortgage Bancshares, Inc. ("Central") and

merged with Mercantile on January 3, 1995 while Central and TCB were
merged with Mercantile on May 1, 1995 in transactions accounted for as
poolings-of-interests. Also effective January 3, 1995, Mercantile
completed a merger with Wedge Bank. That transaction also met the
requirements for treatment as a pooling-of-interests; however, due to
its immateriality the historical financial statements were not
restated.
The Plains Spirit Financial Corporation ("Plains Spirit") transaction,
which will be accounted for as a purchase, closed on July 7, 1995.
Mercantile completed its mergers of Southwest Bancshares, Inc. and
AmeriFirst Bancorporation, Inc. on August 1, 1995. The Corporation
announced plans on August 4, 1995 to expand its presence in Iowa
through a merger with Hawkeye Bancorporation, a $2.0 billion-asset
holding company based in Des Moines. There are currently two other
pending acquisitions in various stages of approval which are
summarized in Exhibit 1.
On May 17, 1995, the Corporation securitized $400,000,000 of its
MasterCard and VISA credit card loans through the Mercantile Credit
Card Master Trust, largely in a public underwriting. The Class A
Floating Rate Credit Card Participation Certificates were rated AAA by
Moody's and Standard & Poor's, while the Class B Certificates were
rated A. Overnight borrowings were reduced accordingly. The financial
statement impact of the securitization is to reduce net interest
income, the provision for possible loan losses and operating expenses
with a net offsetting increase in other income. There is minimal
effect on net income. Average loan volume for the quarter is
approximately $189,000,000 less because of the securitization.
Net interest income decreased 1.7% to $145,947,000 for the second
quarter of 1995, yet was up 1.7% to $298,690,000 for the first six
months of 1995. The net interest rate margin was 4.25% this quarter
compared with 4.47% in the first quarter and 4.60% for the second
quarter of 1994, while the year-to-date margin was 4.36% compared with
4.55% last year. Average earning assets for the first half of 1995 of
$14.0 billion were 6.0% higher than the $13.2 billion last year. A
positive trend continued during the quarter as average loans grew by
$132,924,000 or 1.3% from the first quarter of 1995 and, excluding the
credit card securitization, would have grown by $321,924,000 or 3.3%.
Other income was $58,987,000 for the second quarter of 1995, an
increase of $6,802,000 or 13.0% from a year ago. For the first six
months of 1995, other income was $115,790,000, an increase of
$8,511,000 or 7.9% from last year. Credit card fees and miscellaneous
income showed improvement when compared with the first six months of
1994. Miscellaneous income in the first quarter of 1995 included a
$5,155,000 gain on the sale of the Corporation's interest in a joint
venture that provides ATM switching capabilities in the Midwest
region.
Second-quarter non-interest expenses were down 1.6% from a year ago
and totaled $118,166,000 compared with $120,131,000 last year. Year-
to-date 1995 non-interest expenses were $237,409,000, down 1.1% from
the prior year. 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 56.33% compared with
58.86% last year, and a lowering of the other expense to average
assets ratio to 3.13% versus 3.33% in the first half of 1994.

FINANCIAL COMMENTARY (cont'd)
The provision for possible loan losses for the second quarter of 1995
was $6,641,000 compared with $8,544,000 the prior year, and was
$20,616,000 for the first six months of 1995 compared with $17,423,000
in 1994. Net charge-offs for the first six months of 1995 and 1994
were $25,743,000 and $12,008,000, respectively, and on an annualized
basis were .52% of average loans compared with .27% last year, when
significant commercial real estate recoveries were realized. At June
30, 1995, the reserve for possible loan losses was $179,434,000 and
covered 420.33% of non-performing loans compared with 579.62% at year-
end and 447.31% last June 30.
Non-performing loans as of June 30, 1995 were $42,689,000 or .42% of
total loans, compared with the year-end 1994 restated figures of
$33,559,000 or .35% and $42,532,000 or .47% at June 30, 1994.
Foreclosed assets were $14,523,000 compared with $14,157,000 at year's
end and $33,772,000 last June 30.
Earnings in the St. Louis Area (Mercantile Bank of St. Louis N.A.,
Mercantile Bank of Illinois N.A. and Mercantile Trust Company N.A.)
for the first half of 1995 were $47,824,000, down 2.3% from 1994.
Return on average assets was 1.37% for the first six months of 1995
versus 1.45% in 1994.
In the 45 Community Banks, net income was $45,228,000, an increase of
7.9%, while return on average assets was 1.28% compared with 1.34%
last year. The results for Community Banks included the pre-
acquisition financial performance of pooled transactions consummated
prior to June 30, 1995, excluding the Wedge Bank transaction. Earnings

were $10,875,000, up 7.0% from a year ago. Return on average assets
was 1.34% compared with 1.35% last year.
Consolidated assets of $15.3 billion were up 6.7% from last June 30.
Core deposits decreased by .5% to $10.4 billion, loans were $10.1
billion, up 11.8% from last year, and shareholders' equity of $1.3
billion was 10.0% higher than at June 30, 1994. Tier I capital to
risk-adjusted assets improved to 12.04% compared with 11.69% last
year, while Total capital to risk-adjusted assets at June 30, 1995 and
1994 was 15.47% and 15.32%, 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 first half and second quarter of 1995.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income for the second quarter of 1995 was $145,947,000,
a 1.7% decline from the $148,509,000 earned last year, and for the
first six months of 1995 was $298,690,000, a 1.7% improvement over last
year. For the quarter, the net interest rate margin was 4.25% compared
with 4.60% last year, while the year-to-date 1995 margin was 4.36%,
down from 4.55% in last year's first six months. Factors contributing
to the lower net interest rate margins in 1995 included generally more
competitive pricing for both loans and deposits, the movement of retail
deposits from transaction accounts to higher-costing, longer-term
certificates of deposit, a decline in core deposit funding as a
percentage of total funding and the credit card securitization.
Partially offsetting these negative factors was average loan growth of
$1.2 billion or 13.7%.
For the first six months of 1995, average loans in the St. Louis Area,
Kansas City Area and Community Banks grew by 7.9%, 16.7% and 18.8%,
respectively. Exhibit 3 portrays loan volumes at June 30, 1995 and
1994 by category. Another meaningful analysis of loan growth trends is
to compare the first and second quarters of 1995. Total average loans
grew by $132,924,000, or 5.2% on an annualized basis. Including the
securitized loans, growth was $321,924,000, or 13.2% on an annualized
basis. Year-to-date average commercial loan growth was $193,088,000, up
8.5%, and was broad-based across the system. Commercial real estate and
construction loans grew by $175,430,000 or 10.0% with the growth
generally in the smaller markets served by Mercantile. Residential
mortgage loans were up $504,104,000 or 18.3%, but that growth is now
stabilizing in the current lower interest rate environment as the
pipeline mix is changing from adjustable-rate loans, which are generally
retained as earning assets, to fixed-rate loans,

which are generally sold with servicing retained. Average credit card
loans grew by 6.4%, due primarily to the volume generated by the SBC
Communications Inc. co-branded card, partially offset by the impact of
the securitization. The co-branded card should significantly add to
loan growth in future periods. Excluding the securitization, average
credit card loan volume was up $43,564,000 or 5.1% from the first
quarter of 1995. Other consumer loans increased by $276,609,000 or
22.8% in the first six months of 1995 primarily due to strong growth
in indirect auto lending in outstate Missouri production sites.
The 7.1% decline in year-to-date average investments in debt and
equity securities came largely through maturities in which the
proceeds were used to fund loan growth. Short-term investments are
primarily used for short-term excess liquidity or balancing the
interest rate sensitivity of the Corporation, and on average decreased
by $110,405,000 or 33.5% during the second quarter of 1995.
Core deposits continued to contract and were replaced by more costly
short-term borrowings and bank notes. Mercantile remained
substantially core funded, at 91.68% of total average deposits and
76.46% of average earning assets for the first six months of 1995.
Changes in average core deposits for the past six quarters are shown
in the Consolidated Quarterly Average Balance Sheet on Pages 16 and 17
of this report.
Average non-interest bearing deposits declined by $146,950,000 or 6.8%
through the first six months of 1995. A reclassification of
$100,000,000 to other time deposits and a decrease of $19,929,000 in
cash and due from banks reduced the real loss of net non-interest
bearing funds to $27,021,000. Higher interest rates and, thus, larger
earnings credits for those balances to pay for services largely
accounted for the decline in this important source of funds.
The $623,657,000 or 67.5% increase in year-to-date average short-term
borrowings and outstanding bank notes of $250,000,000 made up for the
loss of core deposits and funded loan growth. All borrowings are in
accordance with current liquidity guidelines.
Average year-to-date shareholders' equity grew by $111,834,000 or
9.6%, due largely to net earnings retained, stock issued in the Wedge
Bank transaction and in the conversion of the capital notes which
matured in April 1995, and a continued favorable change in the FAS 115
adjustment.
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. 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 increased 13.0% during the second quarter of 1995
to $58,987,000, and for the first six months was $115,790,000 compared
with $107,279,000 a year ago, an improvement of 7.9%. Credit card fees
and miscellaneous income are the categories showing improvement from a
year ago.

with last year's second quarter, and decreased 3.3% for the first six
months of 1995. Declining average deposit volumes, as well as
corporate customers who opted to use compensating deposit balances to
offset analysis service charges rather than pay fees accounted for the
drop in service charges.

FINANCIAL COMMENTARY (cont'd)
Credit card fee income was $8,756,000 for the second quarter of 1995,
a 49.6% increase from the 1994 level. For the first six months of
1995, credit card income was $15,332,000 or 30.9% greater than the
comparable 1994 period. Credit card income primarily represents fees
charged merchants for processing credit card transactions, fees
received on transactions of Mercantile cardholders, cardholders'
annual fees and excess servicing as well as recurring servicing fees
on the securitized credit card loans. The excess servicing fees and
the recurring servicing fees on the securitized loans from the
Mercantile Credit Card Master Trust, as well as growth in interchange
revenue from significant usage of the SBC co-branded credit card,
largely accounted for the increases.
Investment banking and brokerage fees, 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 $1,970,000 for the second quarter of 1995, a decrease
of 14.9% from 1994. When compared with the first quarter of 1995,
however, investment banking and brokerage grew by $554,000 or 39.1%.
For the first six months, revenues were down $1,329,000 or 28.2% from
the 1994 results. This source of revenue can vary depending on
movements in interest rates and overall market conditions.
Mortgage banking income decreased by $1,864,000 or 29.7% from the
first half of 1994, when significant gains were recognized on the
sales of loans. When compared with the first quarter of 1995, however,
mortgage banking revenue grew by $264,000 or 12.7%. At June 30, 1995,
servicing volume was $4.6 billion. A breakout of mortgage banking
revenues is provided in Exhibit 6. During the second quarter of 1995,
Mercantile adopted FAS 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights,
an amendment of FASB Statement No. 65," and the financial impact was
immaterial.

OTHER EXPENSE
Expenses other than interest expense and the provision for possible
loan losses for the second quarter of 1995 were $118,166,000, a
decline of .9% from last quarter and 1.6% from the second quarter of
1994. For the first half of 1995, total other expenses were
$237,409,000, a 1.1% decrease from the 1994 level. Total operating
expenses were 3.13% of average assets compared with 3.33% for the
first half of 1994. The overhead ratio, defined as operating expenses
as a percentage of taxable-equivalent net interest income and other
income, improved to 56.71% in the current quarter from 58.86% last
year, while the ratio was 56.33% for the first six months of 1995
compared with 58.86% last year.
Salary expenses increased .1% during the first half of 1995, largely
reflecting the costs of merit increases offset by a reduction in
headcount of 297 or 4.3%. Benefit costs were up by 1.5%, in line with
the modest growth in salaries. Occupancy and equipment costs were up
.2% during the first six months of 1995, reflecting productivity gains
and the closing of United Postal Savings Association overlapping
offices during the third quarter of 1994, offset by the costs of
maintaining other additional offices and a consistent program of
upgrading systems and equipment to further enhance productivity.
Exhibit 7 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 $179,434,000 or 1.78% of
loans outstanding at June 30, 1995. This compared with $194,515,000 or
2.01% at year's end and $190,251,000 or 2.11% at June 30, 1994. In
conjunction with the securitization of credit card loans on May 17,
1995, $12,000,000 of the Corporation's loan loss reserve was
transferred with the loans to the trust. The reserve for possible loan
losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 420.33% compared
with 579.62% at year-end and 447.31% last year.
The year-to-date 1995 provision for possible loan losses was
$20,616,000 compared with $17,423,000 last year, an increase of 18.3%.
The annualized ratio of net charge-offs to average loans for the first
six months of 1995 was .52% compared with .27% last year, while the
corresponding net charge-off figures were $25,743,000 and $12,008,000,
respectively. Other than credit card losses and $2,900,000 in charge-
offs realized on commercial real estate loans assumed in recent
acquisitions, there were no charge-offs of significance in 1995. In
1994 significant recoveries were received on several commercial real
estate loans, thereby lowering the net charge-off figures.
Credit card losses were 5.23% of average credit card loans in the
first six months of 1995 compared with 4.88% in 1994, as net credit
card charge-offs were $20,556,000 compared with $18,016,000 last year.

$400,000,000 of loans on May 17, 1995 will reduce the amount of credit
card charge-offs reported by the Corporation in future periods. In
1995, the Mercantile Credit Card Master Trust will use the $12,000,000
reserve transferred from the Corporation to absorb net charge-offs.
However, in future periods the losses will negatively impact the level
of excess servicing fees reported in credit card income.
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, 1995, the
level of the individual Community Bank reserves as a percentage of
total loans outstanding ranged from 1.13% to 6.20% with a combined
ratio of 1.85%. The coverage of non-performing loans was 424.63% on a
combined basis. The St. Louis Area combined reserve was 1.62% of loans
with a resulting coverage ratio of 348.17%, while the Kansas City Area
banks combined reserve was 2.08% of loans. Management believes the
consolidated reserve of 1.78% of total loans and 420.33% of non-
performing loans as of June 30, 1995 was adequate based on the risks
identified at such date in the portfolios.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS
Non-performing loans (non-accrual and renegotiated loans) were
$42,689,000 or .42% of total loans outstanding at June 30, 1995
compared with $35,825,000 or .36% at March 31, 1995 and $33,559,000
or .35% at December 31, 1994. Foreclosed assets at June 30, 1995
were $14,523,000 compared with $13,425,000 at March 31, 1995 and
$14,157,000 at December 31, 1994. The ratio of non-performing
assets to outstanding loans and foreclosed assets was .57% at June
30, 1995 compared with .49% at both March 31, 1995 and December 31,
1994.
Non-accrual loans increased by $7,679,000 from the March 31, 1995
level. The increase was primarily due to the classification of a
$7,000,000 commercial credit at Mercantile Bank of St. Louis N.A. to
non-accrual status during the second quarter of 1995. All loans
classified as renegotiated were paying in accordance with their
modified terms at June 30, 1995. Loans past due 90 days and still
accruing interest were down from the March 31, 1995 level, primarily
due to the securitization of credit card loans during the second
quarter.

FINANCIAL COMMENTARY (cont'd)
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Mercantile maintains a strong capital base, which 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, while
maintaining capital ratios stronger than those of other quality
banking organizations, and well in excess of regulatory standards.
At June 30, 1995, shareholders' equity was $1.3 billion, an increase
of 10.0% from June 30, 1994. Net earnings retained, the conversion of
capital notes to equity, a favorable change in the FAS 115 adjustment,
and stock issued in the Wedge Bank transaction and under various
employee benefit plans accounted for the majority of the increase. In
conjunction with the TCB transaction, the Corporation issued
$12,153,000 of preferred stock to the preferred shareholder of TCB
with the same terms and conditions that existed prior to the merger.
Equity represented 8.57% of assets at June 30, 1995 compared with
8.31% a year ago. Significant capital ratios and intangible assets are
summarized in Exhibit 10, while Exhibit 2 details the equity capital
ratios of the St. Louis Area, Kansas City Area and Community Banks in
aggregate.

with the 1994 Stock Incentive Plan.
On May 11, 1995, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of
