                          ----------------------------

Mercantile Employee Benefits Committee
Mercantile Bancorporation Inc.
   Horizon Investment and Savings Plan and Trust:

We have audited the statements of assets available for plan benefits of the
Mercantile Bancorporation Inc. Horizon Investment and Savings Plan and
Trust as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of
changes in assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended.
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 assets available for plan benefits as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in assets available for plan
benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental information
included in Schedules 1 and 2 is presented for the purpose of additional
analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but
is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules
and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974.  The fund information in the statement of
changes in assets available for plan benefits is presented for purposes of
additional analysis rather than to present the changes in assets available
for plan benefits of each fund.  The supplemental schedules and fund
information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

(1)   Description of the Plan
      -----------------------
      The following description of the Plan provides only general
        information.  Interested parties should refer to the plan
        agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's
        provisions.

        General
        -------
        The Plan, which was adopted in 1969, is a defined contribution
          plan which covers all employees of Mercantile Bancorporation
          Inc. and subsidiaries (Mercantile) who have completed one year
          of service.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of ERISA
          and structured to incorporate the provisions available under
          Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, which allows
          member and sponsor contributions to be excluded from federal
          and state income taxation within certain prescribed limits.
          The Plan Adminis-trator, appointed by the Board of Directors,
          manages and directs the operation of the Plan.

        At December 31, 1995, there were 6,231 participants in one or
          more of the following plan funds:

          Fund, Central Mortgage Temporary Fund, Wedge Temporary Fund, and
          Suspense Fund.  The Loan Fund allows participating employees to
          borrow money, within specified limits, in the form of
          interest-bearing promissory notes from the Plan to be repaid over a
          period not to exceed five years for general loans or 10 years for
          mortgage loans.  The Insurance Fund relates only to certain
          employees who were merged into the Plan via acquisition activity.
          The Insurance Fund provides for the payment of a participant's life
          insurance premiums via pre-tax contributions.  The Central Mortgage
          and Wedge Temporary Funds represent suspense funds utilized to
          capture and distribute transfers from the plans merged into the Plan
          in the current year.  Participant withdrawals are paid from the
          Suspense Fund which receives cash from the various funds as payments
          are approved.

        Vesting

        Benefit Payments
        ----------------
        Upon termination of employment, participants shall be paid the balance
          of their account in a lump sum or installments in accordance with
          plan provisions over a period not to exceed 10 years.

(2)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
      ------------------------------------------

      Basis of Accounting
      -------------------
      The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on an accrual
        basis and present the assets available for plan benefits and
        changes in those assets.  Management is required to make estimates
        and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial
        statements and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
        Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      Valuation of Investments
      ------------------------
      Marketable securities are stated at fair value.  Securities traded on a
        national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales
        price on the last business day of the plan year.  Investments
        traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for
        which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the average
        of the last reported bid and ask prices.

      Interest in registered investment companies represents units of
        participation in Arch mutual funds.  The fair value of units of
        Arch mutual funds is the value of the last business day of the
        year provided by Winsbury Company.  The administrator of the Arch
        Fund, Inc.

      Interest-bearing cash represents units of participation in the Arch
        Money Market Portfolio Trust Shares.  The fair value of units of
        the Arch Money Market Portfolio Trust Shares is the value on the
        last business day of the year provided by The Winsbury Company,
        the administrator of the Arch Fund Inc.

      Investment Transactions
      -----------------------
      Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the
        order to buy or sell is executed).  The realized gains or losses
        on investments are determined principally using the average cost
        of the individual security issue as a basis.  Average cost is
        based on the market value of the security at the beginning of the
        year and the acquisition cost of any purchases made during the
        year.

      Costs of Plan Administration
      ----------------------------
      Fees and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Plan's management in
        the administration of the Plan are paid by Mercantile and from
        plan assets.  Expenses solely attributable to the investment of
        plan funds shall be paid by plan assets.






                                                                    (Continued)

(3)  Investments
     -----------
      Except for contracts held by an insurance company, the Plan's
        investments are maintained in a trust fund managed by the Trustee
        on behalf of the Plan.  During 1995 and 1994, the Plan's
        investments, exclusive of investments in registered investment
        companies, appreciated (depreciated) in fair value as follows:

        HORIZON INVESTMENT AND SAVINGS PLAN AND TRUST

               Notes to Financial Statements

     For regulatory reporting under Form 5500, benefit claims currently
       payable are categorized as a liability with a corresponding reduction of
       assets available for plan benefits.

(5)  Transfers to the Plan
     ---------------------
     During 1995, Mercantile acquired Wedge Bank and Central Mortgage
       Bancshares, Inc.  In connection with these acquisitions, the
       Wedge Group of Community Banks 401(k) Plan (Wedge Plan) merged
       into the Plan effective July 1, 1995.  The fair value of the
       Wedge Plan assets transferred into the Plan was $1,682,112.  The
       Central Mortgage Bancshares, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan
       (Central Mortgage Plan) was merged into the Plan effective July
       1, 1995.  The fair value of the Central Mortgage Plan assets
       transferred into the Plan was $16,427,518.  All assets
       transferred into the Plan are reflected within transfers to the
       Plan.

     During 1994, Mercantile acquired Mt. Vernon Bancorp, Inc., United
       Postal Bancorp, Inc., and Metro Bancorporation.  In connection
       with these acquisitions, the Mt. Vernon Bancorp Inc. Profit
       Sharing and Thrift (Mt. Vernon Plan) merged into the Plan
       effective July 1, 1994.  The fair value of the Mt. Vernon Plan
       assets transferred to the Plan was $1,066,302.  The United Postal
       Savings Investment Plan (United Postal Plan) and the Metro
       Bancorporation Thrift Plan (Metro Plan) were merged into the Plan
       effective July 1, 1994.  The fair value of the United Postal
       Plan's and Metro Plan's assets transferred to the Plan were
       $4,600,074 and $3,683,022, respectively.  All assets transferred
       into the Plan are reflected within transfers to the Plan.

(6)  Income Tax Status
     -----------------
     The Plan Administrator has received a favorable tax determination
       letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated August 14, 1986
       which indicates that the Plan and its underlying trust qualify
       under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and,
       therefore, are exempt from federal income taxes.

     The Plan has been amended since receiving the latest determination
       letter.  It is the opinion of the Plan Administrator that the Plan
       either (a) continues to satisfy the qualification requirements for
       tax exemption under the applicable provisions of the Code, or (b)
       can be further amended, retroactively, to continue its
       tax-qualified status without interruption since the date of the
       last determination letter.

(7)  Plan Termination
     ----------------
     While Mercantile has not expressed any intent to terminate the Plan or
       discontinue contributions, it may do so at any time, subject to
       the provision set forth in ERISA.  Upon a complete or partial
       termination of the Plan, any participant who is then an employee
       would become 100% vested in all amounts held in the Trust.

(8)  Plan Amendments
     ---------------
     Effective January 1, 1995 the plan document was restated to reflect
       certain changes made to the Plan.  Included in the restatement was
       a change in Plan name from Savings and Incentive Plan and Trust to
       Horizon Investment and

                                                                   (Continued)
