FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of A.G. Edwards,
Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the
"Company"), including its principal subsidiary, A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc.
("Edwards"), and have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.  These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended February 28, 1999.  All adjustments that, in the opinion of management,
are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the
interim periods have been reflected. All such adjustments consist of normal
recurring accruals unless otherwise disclosed in these interim financial
statements.  The results of operations for the three months ended May 31, 1999,
are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending February 29,
2000.  Where appropriate, prior year's financial information has been
reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Comprehensive earnings for the three month periods ended May 31, 1999 and 1998
was equal to the Company's net earnings.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:

Under the stock repurchase program, the Company purchased 1,000,000 shares at an
aggregate cost of $34,541 in the first quarter ended May 31, 1999.  For the
quarter ended May 31, 1998, the Company purchased 1,160,000 shares at an
aggregate cost of $51,234.

NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS:

Edwards is subject to the net capital rule administered by the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC").  This rule requires Edwards to maintain a minimum
net capital, as defined, and to notify and sometimes obtain the approval of the
SEC and other regulatory organizations for substantial withdrawals of capital
and loans to affiliates.  At May 31, 1999, Edwards' net capital of $1,121,600
was $1,064,752 in excess of the minimum required.

ENTERPRISE WIDE DISCLOSURE:

The Company operates and is managed, as a single business segment, that of
providing investment services to its clients through its financial consultants
in more than 640 branch offices.  Transaction services include commissions and
sales credits earned by executing or facilitating the execution of security and
commodity trades.  Asset management fees are earned by providing portfolio
advisory services through third-party managers, including mutual funds, and the
Company's in-house portfolio managers.  The Company earns interest revenue
principally from financing its clients' margin accounts, debt securities carried
for resale and short-term investments.

The following table presents the Company's revenue by type of service for the
quarters ended May 31:

                        MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION

                   THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1999 COMPARED TO
                         THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1998


Results of Operations

The three months ended May 31, 1999 saw a continuation of the high level of
retail investor activity that existed during the last four fiscal years in spite
of some volatility in the equity and debt markets this year.  The Dow Jones
Industrial Average (the Dow) began this fiscal year at 9,307 and rose
dramatically to a peak of 11,107 in mid-May, only to retreat to 10,560 by
May 31,1999.  The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq overall trading volumes
increased 35% and 30%, respectively, over the prior year which contributed to a
26% increase in total customer trades for the Company.  The number and size of
customer trades and the product mix generally affect the level of revenues.  The
number of branches and financial consultants increased to 646 and 6,610, which
represent increases of 7% and 4%, respectively, compared with the same period
last year.

Total revenues increased $81 million (14%) to $651 million from $570 million
last year.  Expenses were $514 million, an increase of $68 million (15%),
resulting in a decline in net profit margins to 13.0% this year from 13.3% last
year.

Total commission revenue increased $47 million (15%), reflecting increased
trading volume and, to a lesser extent, continued expansion of the Company's
distribution system.  Equity related commissions rose $47 million (25%).  Client
demand for equities remained strong due to the continuation of the relatively
strong equity market conditions which resulted in record exchange volumes.

Principal transaction revenue increased $6 million (11%) as a result of the rise
in revenue from debt products.  Sales from debt products rose in corporate,
municipal and government bonds primarily due to higher yields this year.

Investment banking revenue decreased slightly, down less than $1 million (1%).
Underwriting fees and concessions rose $2 million (5%) due to the increased
customer demand for corporate debt products.  Management fees declined
$3 million (18%) due to participation as manager or co-manager in a smaller
number of corporate offerings coupled with decreased activity in mergers and
acquisitions this year.

Asset management and service fees increased $27 million (28%).  Fees from third-
party mutual funds rose $14 million (24%) reflecting the strong industry-wide
cash flows into funds and higher market valuations of existing assets.  Fees
resulting from the administration of client assets under third-party management
and from the Company's management services improved $9 million (35%) due to an
increase in the number of accounts and assets under management.

                                       -6-

<PAGE>

Interest revenue increased $3 million (5%).  Interest revenue from margin
accounts rose $5 million (12%) due to a 24% increase in average margin debits,
partially offset by a drop in the average broker call rate.  Interest revenues
from securities owned decreased $2 million (26%) as a result of lower average
inventory.  Interest earned on short-term investments fell $1 million (45%) as a
result of a 48% drop in average short-term investments which is related to the
rise in margin debits.

Compensation and benefits increased $50 million (14%).  Commission expense
increased $26 million (13%) due to the rise in commissionable revenue.  General
and administrative salaries and related benefits increased primarily as a result
of general increases and higher employment.  Incentive-related compensation rose
primarily as a result of higher earnings.

All other expenses increased $18 million (22%) as a result of branch and home
office expansion and technology related expenses.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Bank loans consist of short-term borrowings and are primarily used to finance
customer receivables.  At May 31, 1999 bank loans outstanding were $475 million.
Average bank loans outstanding for the three month period ended May 31, 1999,
were $122 million at an effective interest rate of 5.17%.

In late April, the Company entered into an agreement to upgrade its broker
workstations.  The equipment, which will include new desktop equipment and
servers, will cost approximately $76 million over a three-year period.

No other material changes have taken place since February 28, 1999 regarding the
Company's liquidity, capital resources and overall financial condition.


YEAR 2000

This section is a Year 2000 readiness disclosure pursuant to the provisions of
the Year 2000 Information Readiness and Disclosure Act.

The "Year 2000" issue arose because many computer hardware and software systems
use only two digits to represent the year.  As a result, these systems and
programs may not accurately calculate dates beyond 1999, causing system failures
or miscalculations.  The Company, along with the entire financial industry, is
heavily reliant on computer technology.  As such, any unresolved Year 2000
issues of the Company, other industry members, or entities that support the
industry, may result in a material and negative impact on the Company's
operations or financial condition.  While the Company has contacted significant
third parties concerning their Year 2000 progress, there can be no assurance
that these other parties have provided accurate and complete information
concerning their Year 2000 efforts.

                                       -7-
<PAGE>

With respect to its internal systems, the Company's efforts to remediate the
Year 2000 issues are proceeding according to plan.  All information technology
systems have been assessed, modified, tested and placed in production.  Non-
information technology systems have been assessed, modified and tested.  In
March and April 1999, the Company participated in an industry-wide testing
program with approximately 400 other broker-dealers, clearing organizations,
securities exchanges and depository institutions.  The Security Industry
Association reported that these tests were successful.  In addition, the Company
will continue both internal and point-to-point testing with significant
counterparties throughout the remainder of calendar 1999.

Management estimates the total cost of the Company's Year 2000 efforts will
not exceed $15 million.  Most of these costs have already been incurred and
expensed.  Actual costs may differ materially from this estimate.

The Company has incorporated various Year 2000 issues into its corporate
contingency plans.  The plans include steps to address internal system
processing errors that may occur after December 31, 1999.  The Company's
corporate contingency plan is a continually evolving document and is subject to
modification.  Management continues to assess potential Year 2000 scenarios and
will update the contingency plan as necessary.  Consideration was given to
alternatives for mission critical third parties.  However, management believes
that the Company's primary mission critical third parties are securities and
commodities exchanges, clearing associations, and utilities, and that the
industry currently has no available alternatives for most or all of these
entities.

RISK MANAGEMENT

No material changes have occurred to the Company's policies, procedures and
controls.  A discussion of the Company's primary risks is included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28,
1999.  Such information is hereby incorporated by reference.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Management's Financial Discussion, including the discussion under "Year
2000," contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal
securities laws.  Actual results are subject to risks and uncertainties,
including both specific to the Company and those specific to the industry, which
could cause results to differ materially from those contemplated.  The risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, third-party or Company failures
to achieve timely, effective remediation of the Year 2000 issues, risk
management, general economic conditions, actions of competitors, regulatory
actions, changes in legislation and technology changes.  Undue reliance should
not be placed on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date
of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  The Company does not undertake any
obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements.
