INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Mercantile Employee Benefits Committee
Mercantile Bancorporation Inc.
Horizon Investment and Savings Plan and Trust:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Mercantile Bancorporation Inc. Horizon Investment and Savings
Plan and Trust as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements
of changes in net 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 net assets available for plan benefits as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the changes in net 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 statements of net assets available for
plan benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to
present the net assets available for plan benefits and the changes in net
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
document 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 who have completed one
year of eligible service or employees with an account balance
resulting from a qualified rollover. 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 Administrator, appointed by the Mercantile Board
of Directors, manages and directs the operation of the Plan.
CONTRIBUTIONS
Each participant may contribute 1% to 15% of their annual compensation
(subject to federal limits) and may elect to have their
contributions invested and allocated earnings reinvested to their
account in the following separate investment funds within the
Plan:
* Growth Equity Fund, which invests in the Arch Growth Equity Portfolio.
The Arch Growth Equity Portfolio is a mutual fund that invests in
common stocks of proven mid-to-large-sized companies.
* Balanced Fund, which invests in the Arch Balanced Portfolio. The Arch
Balanced Portfolio is a mutual fund that invests in fixed-income
securities and equity securities.
* Growth and Income Fund, which invests in the Arch Growth and Income
Equity Portfolio. The Arch Growth and Income Equity Portfolio is a
mutual fund that primarily invests in broadly diversified equity
securities.
* Government and Corporate Bond Fund, which invests in the Arch Government
and Corporate Bond Portfolio. The Arch Government and Corporate Bond
Portfolio is a mutual fund that primarily invests in debt obligations
with maturity dates of one year or more.
* Money Market Fund, which invests in the Arch Money Market Portfolio
Trust Shares. The Arch Money Market Portfolio Trust Shares is a
mutual fund that primarily invests in fixed income obligations with
maturity dates of less than one year.
* Small Cap Equity Fund which invests in the Arch Small Cap Equity
Portfolio. The Arch Small Cap Equity Portfolio is a mutual fund that
invests in common stocks of emerging or established
small-to-medium-sized companies.
* Mercantile Stock Fund, which invests in the common stock of Mercantile.
* International Fund, which invests in the Arch International Equity
Portfolio. The Arch International Equity Portfolio is a mutual fund
that invests in a diversified portfolio of international stocks.

===============================================================================
Subject to the provisions of the Plan, each participant is
eligible to receive employer contributions. Mercantile's
contribution has both a matching and incentive component. As a
matching component, Mercantile contributes 50% of a participant's
contribution up to a maximum employer contribution equal to 3% of
a participant's salary. Mercantile's incentive contribution is
based on a formula using a return-on-assets ratio. Incentive
contributions cannot exceed 6% of the total compensation paid to
participants during a plan year. Both the matching and the
incentive contributions are invested in the Mercantile Stock Fund.
Effective January 1, 1998, Mercantile eliminated the incentive
component of company contributions. Instead, Mercantile will
contribute 100% of a participant's contribution up to 3% of a
participant's salary and 50% of a participant's contribution up to
the next 3% of a participant's salary.
PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS
Each participant account is credited with the participant's
contribution, an allocation of employer contributions, and an
allocation of Plan earnings net of administrative expenses.
Allocations are based on participant compensation or account
balances, as defined in the Plan document. The benefit to
which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be
provided from the participant's account.
NONPARTICIPANT-DIRECTED FUNDS
Included in nonparticipant-directed funds are a Loan Fund,
Insurance Fund, several temporary funds, 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 temporary funds capture
and distribute assets received from plans merged into the Plan.
The Suspense Fund captures and distributes contributions,
administrative expenses, and benefit payments to participants or
beneficiaries.
VESTING
Participants are fully vested in their account balances,
including employer matching and incentive contributions.
BENEFIT PAYMENTS
Upon termination of employment, participants with an account
balance less than $5,000 are paid in a lump sum. Participants
with an account balance of $5,000 or more, upon termination of
employment, may elect to be paid the balance of their account,
either immediately or upon retirement, in a lump sum or
installments over a period not to exceed 10 years in accordance
with Plan provisions.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on an
accrual basis, with the exception of benefits which are recorded
when paid, and present the net assets available for plan benefits
and changes in those assets. The preparation of the accompanying
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the Plan's management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the
financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

===============================================================================
VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
The Plan's investments are stated at current (or fair) value.
Securities traded on a national securities exchange, including
Mercantile Bancorporation Inc. common stock, are valued at the
last reported sales price on the last business day of the plan
year.
Interest in registered investment companies represents units of
participation in Arch mutual funds. Interest-bearing cash
represents units of participation in the Arch Money Market
Portfolio Trust Shares. Units of Arch mutual funds and Arch
Money Market Portfolio Shares are valued at quoted market prices
which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan
as provided by BYSIS Fund Services, the administrator of the
Arch Funds, Inc.
Loans to participants represent the unpaid principal of employee
loans and are valued at cost which approximates fair value.
INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Investment purchases and sales are recorded on a trade-date
basis (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.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends
are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Uninvested moneys within
each fund are temporarily invested in the Arch Money Market
Portfolio.
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 are paid by plan assets.

(6) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On various dates during 1997, the Plan purchased and sold shares
of Mercantile common stock at fair market value for investment
in the Plan's Mercantile Stock Fund.
Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by
Mercantile Bank N.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of Mercantile.
Mercantile Bank N.A. is the trustee of the Plan and, therefore,
these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.
(7) INCOME TAX STATUS
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed
Mercantile by a letter dated August 7, 1996, that the Plan and
related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections
of the Internal Revenue Code and, therefore, are exempt from
federal income taxes.
(8) 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 provisions set forth in ERISA.
(9) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED)
