          The interim  financial  statements  are  unaudited 
but,  in  the
          opinion of management,  reflect all adjustments 
necessary for  a
          fair  presentation of  financial position, results  of
operations
          and  cash flows for such  periods.  These  adjustments
consist of
          normal,  recurring items.    The results  of 
operations for  any
          interim  period are not necessarily indicative of
results for the
          full year.   The condensed consolidated  financial
statements and
          notes  are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do
not contain
          certain information included in the company's annual
consolidated
          financial statements and notes.  This Form 10-Q should
be read in
          conjunction with the  company's consolidated financial
statements
          and  notes incorporated by reference in the 1992 Annual
Report on
          Form 10-K.

          Effective January  1, 1992, 3M's  international
companies changed
          their  fiscal  year-end from  October 31  to  December
31  and 3M
          adopted  two  new accounting  standards,  Statement of 
Financial
          Accounting Standards (SFAS)  No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting  for
          Postretirement Benefits  Other Than Pensions," and 
SFAS No. 109,
          "Accounting for Income Taxes."  The first and second
quarter 1992
          financial  statements  were restated  in  1992  to
reflect  these
          changes.    All three  changes were  accounted for  as
cumulative
          effects of accounting changes.  As  a result of the
change in the
          international companies'  fiscal year-end, the cash 
flows of the
          international companies for  the eight-month  period
November  1,
          1991 to June 30, 1992, are included in the Consolidated
Statement
          of Cash Flows for the period ended June 30, 1992.

          In July 1993,  subsequent to the  end of the second 
quarter, the
          company received $48  million as  a result of  the
resolution  of
          several  income tax claims.  The recovery included $28
million of
          interest which will be recorded as income in the third
quarter of
          1993.    Since the  majority of  the  noninterest
portion  of the
          refund had previously been recorded as a prepaid tax,
this refund
          will not impact the 1993 tax provision.

          Coopers &  Lybrand, the  company's independent 
accountants, have
          performed a review of the unaudited interim financial 
statements
          included herein and their letter accompanies this
filing.

                    Financial Condition and Results of Operations

          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

          This Quarter
          ------------
          Worldwide sales for the second quarter totaled $3.540
billion, an
          increase of 0.6 percent from $3.519 billion in the
second quarter
          last year.  Net income increased  4.2 percent to $331
million, or
          $1.51  per share, compared with $317 million, or $1.45
per share,
          in the same quarter last year.

          In  the  United States,  the company's  unit  sales
rose  about 4
          percent  compared  with  the  second  quarter  last 
year.    The
          Industrial  and Consumer Sector led U.S. volume growth
with solid
          gains in  its abrasives, specialty chemicals,  and
commercial and
          consumer products, and modest  growth in its automotive
products.
          Volume also increased in  the Information, Imaging and
Electronic
          Sector,  paced  by  growth  in  its  imaging  systems 
and memory
          technologies products.  Volume declined in its
telecommunication,
          electronic  and  micrographic  products.    Life
Sciences  Sector
          volume increased with  solid growth in  its traffic and 
personal
          safety products  largely offset by  declines in  its
health  care
          products.   Overall,  the company's  United States 
volume growth
          slowed  compared  with  the  first  quarter  of  1993 
due  to  a
          combination of economic and industry-specific factors.

          Outside  the United  States, unit volume  also
increased  about 4
          percent.   Volume declined about  1 percent in  Europe
reflecting
          the  area's  difficult economic  environment.    The
decline  was
          driven by  Germany, which more than  offset a gain in 
the United
          Kingdom.  Volume  growth was positive in  the rest of
the  world.
          Asia Pacific had 12 percent volume growth where an
improvement in
          Japan  added to  the rapid  growth in  the rest  of
Asia.   Latin
          America,  led by  Brazil, was up  nearly 25 percent.  
Canada and
          Africa also reported volume gains.

          Worldwide selling prices declined about 1 percent
compared to the
          second  quarter of  1992.   Competition in  the
company's  memory
          technologies  business again  affected  worldwide 
price  levels.
          International  price declines were about the same as
those in the
          United States.  Currency translation decreased
worldwide sales by
          a little more than 2 percent.

          Cost of  goods sold,  which includes manufacturing, 
research and
          development, and  engineering, was  $2.131 billion in 
the second
          quarter of 1993, an  increase of 0.8 percent from 
$2.115 billion
          in 1992.   Cost of goods sold was  60.2 percent of
sales, up one-
          tenth of  a  point from  the  second quarter  last
year.    Gross
          margins were hampered by  lower selling prices,
negative currency
          effects  and higher R&D  spending.  These  impacts were
partially
          offset  by  lower raw  material  costs, cost  controls 
and lower
          employment levels.

                       Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                    Financial Condition and Results of Operations

          Selling, general, and administrative spending of $893
million was
          25.2  percent  of sales,  the same  percentage  as in 
the second
          quarter  last year.   SG&A costs reflected  continued
emphasis on
          cost control.  

          Worldwide  operating  income  was  $516  million  in 
the  second
          quarter, essentially  unchanged from  $517 million in 
the second
          quarter of  1992.  Operating  income in the United 
States was up
          about 12 percent and operating margins improved by 1.2
percentage
          points.    Lower  raw material  costs,  cost  controls
and  lower
          employment levels generated most  of the increase. 
International
          operating income declined nearly 10 percent and margins
were down
          1.4  percentage  points  due  to negative  currency 
effects  and
          economic weakness in Europe.  Worldwide employment was
down about
          1,220 people from the second quarter last year.  

          On a  sector basis,  the Life  Sciences  Sector showed 
worldwide
          operating income growth compared with the same quarter
last year.
          In the Industrial  and Consumer  Sector, a solid  gain
in  United
          States operating  income was offset by  negative
currency effects
          and by  economic weakness  in Europe.   Information,
Imaging  and
          Electronic Sector  operating  income  declined  due  to 
negative
          currency effects, slower demand for  several of its
major product
          lines and price erosion in memory technologies.  

          Interest expense was $15  million in the second quarter 
of 1993,
          $4 million  lower than  in  the same  quarter  last
year.    This
          decline was  mainly due to  lower debt  than in the 
same quarter
          last  year.   Investment  and  other  income-net
contributed  $21
          million to pretax income  in the second quarter of 
1993 compared
          to  a $1  million expense in  the same  quarter last 
year.  This
          change was  due to  several factors, including 
technology write-
          downs  of about  $10 million  in 1992's  second quarter 
and cash
          returns from other investments and hedging activities
of about $7
          million in the second quarter of 1993.

          The provision for  income taxes  was $184  million
compared  with
          $175 million in the second quarter last year.  The
second quarter
          1993 worldwide effective  tax rate was 35.5 percent, 
up one-half
          point from the second quarter rate last year and up
two-tenths of
          a point  from the  rate for  1992 overall.   The
increase  in the
          second quarter rate  compared to  the same quarter 
last year  is
          primarily due  to last  year's recognition of 
additional foreign
          tax credits.

          Net income was $331 million, an increase of 4.2 percent
from $317
          million  in the  second quarter  last year.   Earnings 
per share
          increased 4.1 percent  to $1.51  per share from  $1.45
per  share
          last year.

          The  company  estimates that  changes in  the  value of 
the U.S.
          dollar  reduced net income by $13  million, or 6 cents
per share,
          in the second  quarter compared to  the corresponding
quarter  in
          1992.

                       Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                    Financial Condition and Results of Operations

          These estimates include  the effect of  translating
sales
          and profits from local currencies into U.S. dollars,
the costs in
          local currencies of transferring goods between the
parent company
          in the United States and international companies, and
transaction
          gains  and  losses  in  countries  not  considered to 
be  highly
          inflationary. 

          Year-To-Date
          ------------
          On a year-to-date basis,  worldwide sales totaled
$7.057 billion,
          an  increase of 1.4 percent from $6.957  billion in the
first six
          months of last year.   Volume growth for the first six 
months of
          1993 was  5  percent  in both  United  States  and 
international
          operations.   Pricing and  currency decreased worldwide 
sales by
          about 4 percent during the first six months.

          Cost of goods  sold was $4.243 billion for the  first
six months,
          an increase  of 1.7 percent from $4.173 billion in
1992.  Cost of
          goods sold  was 60.2 percent  of sales, up two-tenths 
of a point
          from  the same  period last  year.   The factors  that
influenced
          year-to-date  gross margins were the same as those for
the second
          quarter.  

          First  half selling,  general,  and  administrative 
spending  of
          $1.768  billion was 25.0 percent of sales, down
three-tenths of a
          point from  25.3  percent  in the  same  period last 
year.    In
          addition to  cost control,  the year-to-date SG&A 
percentage was
          helped by lower voluntary separation costs. 

          Worldwide  operating  income  increased  1.9  percent 
to  $1.046
          billion in 1993 from $1.026 billion in 1992.  Operating
income in
          the United States was up about 15 percent and margins
improved by
          1.4 percentage  points.  International operating 
income declined
          about 7 percent and  margins were down 1.1 percentage 
points due
          to negative currency effects and economic weakness in
Europe.  

          While worldwide employment  levels declined about 1,220 
compared
          with the  second quarter of 1992,  worldwide employment
increased
          by 825  people from the  end of  1992 due to  seasonal,
temporary
          hiring in the second quarter.

          Interest  expense was  $26 million  for the  first six 
months of
          1993, down from $41 million in 1992.  This decline was
mainly due
          to lower  debt than in  the first half  of 1992.  
Investment and
          other income was $30 million  in the first half of
1993,  up from
          $1  million last year.   This change was  due to
several factors,
          including technology  write-downs of about $19  million
in 1992's
          first  half and cash returns  from other investments 
of about $5
          million in the first half of 1993.

          The provision for income  taxes was $372  million
year-to-date in
          1993 compared with $350 million in 1992.  The 
effective tax rate
          was 35.5 percent in both periods.

                       Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                    Financial Condition and Results of Operations

          Year-to-date  net income was $661 million in 1993, up
6.6 percent
          from  $620 million  in 1992.   Earnings  per share 
increased 6.7
          percent to $3.02 per share from $2.83 per share last 
year.  Last
          year's first-half earnings included  a net negative
effect of  $3
          million, or  2 cents per share, from the adoption of
SFAS No. 106
          and SFAS No.  109 and from the change in the reporting
period for
          3M's international companies.  

                                         ****
          Looking  ahead,  the  company   continues  to  monitor 
worldwide
          economies, particularly the recessions  in Europe and
Japan where
          it has  significant operations.   The company's 
economic outlook
          for the second half  of the year does not  anticipate
significant
          improvements  in either  of these  two areas.   The 
company also
          expects a continuation of relatively slow  economic
growth in the
          United States during the second half of the year.

          The  effects of  a stronger  dollar are  expected to 
continue to
          hamper  earnings growth  in the  second half  of the 
year.   The
          company estimates that currency effects,  based on the
levels  at
          the  end  of June,  could reduce  full-year  1993
earnings  by an
          estimated 30 to 35 cents per share.  

          Assuming that overall  economic conditions are  in line
with  the
          company's expectations and that currency values remain
relatively
          stable, the  company anticipates earnings increases 
for both the
          second  half and the full year of  1993 compared to
1992.  First-
          half  1993 earnings  increased 4.1  percent.  
Expectations about
          third quarter earnings are guarded due to potentially
significant
          adverse currency impacts and continuing economic
weakness outside
          the  United States.  Fourth  quarter earnings are 
expected to be
          better than last year's  results when international
volume slowed
          significantly.  

          Volume  growth,  productivity  improvements  and  
favorable  raw
          material prices  are expected to benefit  full-year
1993 results.
          Investment in research and development  will continue
in order to
          help the  company move  toward its goal  of 30  percent
of  sales
          coming  from products  introduced in  the last  four
years.   The
          company  continues  to aggressively  explore  cost 
reduction and
          rationalization opportunities around the world in
addition to its
          continuing  emphasis  on  management  of SG&A  spending 
to  more
          closely match  current worldwide growth expectations.  
Worldwide
          employment by  the end of the  year is expected to  be
lower than
          1992 year-end levels. 

          As indicated in the Notes  to the Financial Statements, 
interest
          income generated by the resolution of income tax
disputes will be
          recorded  in  the  third quarter.    Since  the 
majority of  the
          noninterest portion of the refund had previously been
recorded as
          a  prepaid  tax,  this  refund  will  not  impact  the 
1993  tax
          provision.  The company's tax rate is expected to
remain at about
          current levels.

                       Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                    Financial Condition and Results of Operations

          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
          The company's financial condition and liquidity remain
strong. 

          Working  capital increased  $49  million to  $3.017
billion  from
          $2.968  billion as of December 31, 1992.  The accounts
receivable
          average days sales outstanding,  which averages monthly
sales and
          receivable  balances  within the  quarter,  was  65 
days.    The
          company's  key inventory  index, which  represents the 
number of
          months of inventory, was 3.8 months.  The company's
current ratio
          was  1.9. All three indices were unchanged from the
year-end 1992
          numbers.

          Other current  liabilities increased  $145 million 
from year-end
          1992 to $1.512 billion.  This change was largely due to
increases
          in the international companies.

          Total debt  increased $82  million from  year-end 1992 
to $1.508
          billion.   On  June 30, 1993,  the company  issued a 
$99 million
          medium-term  note with a maturity date of June 15,
1994, from the
          $601  million shelf  registration filed  with the 
Securities and
          Exchange Commission in 1992.   As of June 30, 1993, 
$502 million
          was available for future financial needs.

          As  of June 30, 1993, total  debt was 23 percent of
stockholders'
          equity.  The ratio is 1 percentage point higher than at
year-end
          1992.   The company's borrowings  continue to maintain 
AAA long-
          term ratings.

          Due  to  the change  in the  financial  reporting
period  for the
          international   companies,  the   June  30,   1992, 
Consolidated
          Statement of Cash  Flows includes  the cash provided 
or used  by
          3M's international  companies for an eight-month period
(November
          1, 1991  to June 30, 1992).   The following table  and
discussion

                       Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                    Financial Condition and Results of Operations

          Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $988
million in
          the first six months of the year, an increase of $74
million from
          $914  million in  the  same period  last year.   
Receipt of  the
          Johnson &  Johnson legal settlement  and higher  income
were  the
          main sources of the increase.  

          Cash  used in  investing activities  was $487  million,
down  $52
          million from  the  same period  last year  due  to
lower  capital
          spending.  Capital expenditures for the first  six
months of 1993
          were  $521 million, a  decrease of over  13 percent
compared with
          the  same period  last year.   The  company expects 
1993 capital
          spending to be less than 1992 levels.

          Cash  used in financing  activities in  the first six 
months was
          $540 million, up $129 million compared with  the same
period last
          year, primarily because  less cash was provided  by new
long-term
          borrowing and because treasury stock purchases
increased.  During
          the second  quarter the  company  repurchased about 
2.4  million
          shares.   Cash  provided  by issuance  of  medium-term
notes  and
          increases in commercial paper partially offset these
factors.

          Stockholder dividends increased 4 percent to $364
million  in the
          first  six  months  of  this year.    The  dividend 
payout ratio
          declined to  55.0  percent in  the  first  six months 
from  56.9
          percent  for the  entire year  in 1992,  primarily due 
to higher
          earnings in the first six months.

          The  Board of  Directors  authorized  the  repurchase 
of  up  to
          6 million shares of 3M common stock between June 1,
1993, and May
          31, 1994.  Of this number, 4.4 million shares remained
authorized
          for repurchase on June 30, 1993.  Repurchases are made
to support
          employee stock purchase and management stock ownership
plans  and
          for other corporate purposes.

          Return on average stockholders' equity for the quarter 
increased
          to 19.9 percent from 19.5 percent a year earlier,
approaching the
          company's goal of 20  to 25 percent.  Return on 
capital employed
          for  the quarter was 20.1 percent,  down from 20.3
percent in the
          comparable  1992 period.   The  company's goal  is 27 
percent or
          better.  

          The company  expects cash  generated  by normal 
operations  will
          support its growth.  As  indicated in the Notes to the 
Financial
          Statements, the company's receipt of $48 million in
resolution of
          several income tax claims will positively impact cash
flow in the
          third quarter of the year.  With its AAA long-term
ratings on its
          debt, the company has sufficient borrowing capacity to
supplement
          cash flows from operations.

                             PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

          Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

                    The company  and certain of its  subsidiaries
are named
                    defendants   in  a  number   of  actions, 
governmental
                    proceedings  and  claims,  including product 
liability
                    claims involving products  now or formerly
manufactured
                    and  sold  by  the  company, many  of  which 
relate to
                    silicone  gel mammary  prostheses,  and  some
of  which
                    claims  are purported  or  tentatively
certified  class
                    actions.  In some cases,  these actions seek
damages as
                    well as  other relief which, if  granted,
would require
                    substantial expenditures.  Many of these 
actions raise
                    difficult and complex factual  and legal
issues and are
                    subject   to   many  uncertainties   and 
complexities,
                    including,   but  not   limited  to,   the 
facts   and
                    circumstances   of   each   particular   
action,   the
                    jurisdiction  and  forum   in  which  each 
action   is
                    proceeding,   and   differences   in 
applicable   law.
                    Accordingly, the company is not always able
to estimate
                    the  nature and  amount  of any  future
liability  with
                    respect to these actions.

                    In  many of  these actions,  the company 
believes that
                    resulting liability and  defense costs  are
covered  by
                    insurance  maintained by the  company during
applicable
                    time  periods,  subject  to self-insurance 
retentions,
                    exclusions, and  policy limits.   The company 
may also
                    possess    rights    against    third   
parties    for
                    indemnification or  contribution.   To the 
extent that
                    insurers have in some of these cases
reserved,  and may
                    reserve in the future, the right to deny
coverage (i.e.
                    neither admitted nor denied  coverage), the
company  is
                    not  always able  to  estimate the  amount of 
recovery
                    applicable to these actions.

                    Because of  the complexities  of these
actions  and the
                    extent   of  insurance  applicable  to  many 
of  these
                    actions, the company  cannot determine its
exposure  or
                    its rights  against insurers  and other third 
parties.
                    While  it is  possible that  any  charge
incurred  as a
                    result of  the foregoing matters could  have
a negative
                    impact on  the company's net  income for any 
period in
                    which  it is  recorded, the  company believes 
that any
                    resulting charge  will  not  have  a 
material  adverse
                    effect on its consolidated financial
position.

                    The company  is involved  in a number  of
environmental
                    actions  by  governmental agencies  asserting
liability
                    for cleanup costs for past disposal of
hazardous wastes
                    at waste disposal sites.   The company
conducts ongoing
                    investigations, assisted  by environmental
consultants,
                    to determine accruals for the probable,
estimable costs
                    of remediation.  The  remediation accruals
are reviewed
                    each quarter and changes are made as
appropriate.

                          REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


          To the Stockholders of Minnesota Mining and
Manufacturing
           Company:

          We  have reviewed the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance
          sheet  of  Minnesota   Mining  and   Manufacturing 
Company   and
          subsidiaries  as  of June  30,  1993, and  the  related
condensed
          consolidated statements of income for each of the
three- and six-
          month periods ended June 30, 1993 and 1992 and cash
flows for the
          six-month  periods ended June 30, 1993 and 1992.  These
financial
          statements are the responsibility of the company's
management.

          We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards
established
          by  the American  Institute of  Certified Public
Accountants.   A
          review  of interim financial  information consists
principally of
          applying  analytical  review  procedures to  financial 
data  and
          making  inquiries  of  persons  responsible  for 
financial   and
          accounting  matters.  It is  substantially less in 
scope than an
          audit  conducted in  accordance with generally 
accepted auditing
          standards, the objective of which is the expression of
an opinion
          regarding   the  financial   statements   taken   as  
a   whole.
          Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

          Based   on  our  reviews,  we  are  not  aware  of  any 
material
          modifications that  should be made to  the accompanying
condensed
          consolidated financial  statements referred to above 
for them to
          be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

          We have previously audited, in accordance with
generally accepted
          auditing  standards,   the  consolidated  balance 
sheet   as  of
          December 31,  1992, and  the  related consolidated 
statements of
          income  and cash  flows for  the year  then ended  (not
presented
          herein);  and in our report dated February 15, 1993, we
expressed
          an   unqualified  opinion   on   those   consolidated  
financial
          statements.  In  our opinion,  the information set 
forth in  the
          condensed consolidated balance  sheet as of December
31,  1992 is
          fairly  stated  in all  material  respects  in 
relation  to  the
          consolidated balance sheet from which it has been
derived.

__________________________________

    Primary earnings per share is computed by dividing net income
by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding for each period.  The calculation
excludes the effect of common equivalent
shares resulting from stock options using the treasury stock
method as the effect would not be material.

    Fully diluted earnings per share is computed based on the
weighted average number of common
shares and common equivalent shares outstanding for each period. 

<F1>(1) This calculation is submitted in accordance with
Regulation S-K item 601(b)(11) although not
    required by APB Opinion No. 15 because it results in dilution
of less than 3%.
