FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NORTHERN TRUST CORPORATION REPORTS RECORD 1997 THIRD
QUARTER EARNINGS OF $.69 PER SHARE, UP 21%

(Chicago, October 20, 1997)   Northern Trust Corporation reported record net
income per common share of $.69 for the third quarter, an increase of 21% from
$.57 earned a year ago.  Net income increased 22% to a record $81.0 million from
the $66.5 million earned in the third quarter of last year.  This performance
resulted in a return on average common equity of 20.7%.

     William A. Osborn, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our
third quarter results were outstanding and demonstrate our strong growth
momentum.  The Corporation's two business units continued to perform at record
levels, supported by strong new business.  The quarterly results were
highlighted by a 20% growth in recurring revenues which was driven by record
trust fees and foreign exchange profits.  Our 21% earnings per share growth and
20.7% return on common equity significantly exceeded our strategic financial
targets."

     "Trust assets under administration exceeded $1 trillion for the first time
at September 30, 1997.  One perspective on this significant milestone captures
the remarkable pace of our

growth:  it took Northern Trust 105 years to reach $500 billion in assets under
administration, but less than 3 years to double that and reach $1 trillion.  Of
this, $164.5 billion in assets were under management."


                      THIRD QUARTER PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS
                                        
     Trust fees grew 20% to a record $177.4 million in the quarter compared to
$148.2 million last year and represent 48% of total revenues and 70% of
noninterest income.

     Trust fees from Personal Financial Services (PFS) in the quarter increased
19% and totaled $87.5 million compared to $73.6 million in the year-ago quarter.
The increase in PFS trust fees resulted primarily from exceptionally strong new
business throughout Northern Trust's five-state office network and favorable
equity markets.  The Wealth Management Group, which administers significant
family asset pools nationwide, also had excellent performance, with trust fees
increasing 32%, and now administers $27.8 billion of trust assets.  Total
administered personal trust assets increased $5.3 billion since June 30, 1997
and totaled $101.0 billion at September 30, 1997, exceeding $100 billion for the
first time.  Of this, $59.0 billion was under management.

     During the third quarter, Northern Trust expanded its Arizona presence by
opening a northwest Tucson office, the seventh location in that state.  With the
addition of this new office, Northern Trust's national network of Personal
Financial Services offices includes 62 locations in Illinois, Florida,
California, Arizona and Texas.

     Trust fees from Corporate & Institutional Services (C&IS) in the quarter
increased 21% and totaled $89.9 million compared to $74.6 million in the year-
ago quarter, reflecting strong new business.  These fees are derived from a full
range of custody, investment and advisory services rendered to retirement and
other asset pools of corporate and institutional clients

worldwide, and all of these services contributed to the third quarter fee
growth.  Securities lending continued to achieve outstanding results, with fees
increasing 47% from the prior year quarter to $18.0 million.  Fees from
investment management services, including the activities of Northern Trust
Global Advisors, Inc., were also strong.  Since June 30, 1997, total C&IS trust
assets under administration increased $108.4 billion to $911.1 billion at
September 30, 1997, of which $105.5 billion is managed by Northern Trust.  Trust
assets under administration included approximately $126 billion of global
custody assets.

     During early October Northern Trust announced an agreement to acquire ANB
Investment Management and Trust Company, a leading manager of index funds, from
First Chicago NBD Corporation for approximately $50 million.  This firm had
assets under management of approximately $28 billion at June 30, 1997 and will
complement Northern Trust's well-established and growing investment management
business.  Northern will benefit from adding a broad product array with
successful long-term track records and a team of seasoned investment
professionals.

     C&IS trust relationships are increasingly priced to reflect earnings from
activities such as custody-related deposits and foreign exchange trading which
are not included in trust fees.  Foreign exchange trading profits set another
record, increasing 122% to $33.5 million from $15.1 million in the same quarter
last year.  The record profits reflect both increased cross-border trading
volumes as our global custody assets continue to grow and volatility in the
currency markets, particularly in the southeastern Asia region.
 
     Fees from treasury management services were $14.8 million, up from $13.9
million in the comparable quarter last year.  Total treasury management
revenues from both fees and the

               THIRD QUARTER PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS (Continued)
                                        
computed value of compensating deposit balances increased 4% from the third
quarter of 1996 to $22.7 million, reflecting the continued growth in business
from both new and existing clients.  Other operating income included $10.0
million resulting from a settlement reached with Illinois banking regulators
concerning the disposition of certain unclaimed balances accumulated over a
number of years.

     Net interest income for the quarter, stated on a fully taxable equivalent
basis, totaled $117.6 million, up 10% from the $107.2 million reported in last
year's third quarter.  The increase in net interest income reflects higher
levels of noninterest-related funds, driven by increases in common equity and
demand deposits, and 15% growth in average earning assets primarily driven by
increases in loan volume and money market assets.  Residential mortgages
accounted for 37% of the loan volume increase.  The net interest margin
decreased to 2.14% from 2.26% reported in the year-ago quarter.  The decline in
the margin is attributable to a higher proportion of low-spread money market
assets and narrowing spreads earned on the government securities portfolio due
to the flattening of the yield curve.

     Nonperforming assets of $50.4 million at quarter-end decreased from $58.5
million at June 30, 1997 and was up from $37.7 million at September 30, 1996.
The overall quality of the loan portfolio remains strong.  Nonaccrual and
restructured loans of $46.3 million at quarter-end represent .38% of total loans
and were covered 3.2 times by the $148.0 million reserve for credit losses.
Third quarter net charge-offs, at .18% of average loans, totaled $5.4 million.
The provision for credit losses of $5.0 million in the third quarter was $2.5
million higher than the third quarter of 1996 and $4.5 million higher than the
second quarter of 1997.  The increase in the provision for credit losses
essentially maintained the reserve for credit losses at the prior quarter level.
It is not expected that the provision for credit losses in the fourth quarter
will return to the unusually low levels of the first half of 1997.

               THIRD QUARTER PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS (Continued)
                                        
     Noninterest expenses totaled $234.7 million for the quarter and included
$8.9 million of technology-related special charges.  Of these charges, $5.4
million were for Year 2000-related costs, including the purchase of software
programming tools and the effect of replacing certain software that is not Year
2000 compliant.  Another $3.5 million in charges were incurred for the planned
relocation of the computer data facility to Northern Trust's new technology
center located near its Chicago operations building.  These costs are primarily
reflected in other operating and equipment expenses.

     Excluding these charges, expenses increased $34.0 million or 18% from the
year-ago quarter.  This increase was primarily attributable to higher
performance-based compensation and staff growth.  Excellent new business
results, record foreign exchange profits, strong corporate earnings and the
price increase in Northern Trust Corporation stock increased performance-based
compensation expenses by $12.0 million.  The increase in compensation expense
also resulted from merit increases and a 9% increase in staff levels from one
year ago required to support growth initiatives and strong new business in both
PFS and C&IS.  In addition, the noninterest expense increase in the third
quarter reflects a number of new initiatives over the past twelve months,
including seven additional private banking and trust offices, a new Singapore
office and expansion of the global custody network.  Staff on a full-time
equivalent basis at September 30, 1997 totaled 7,337, up 9% from 6,754 at
September 30, 1996.

                                 BALANCE SHEET
                                        
     Balance sheet assets averaged $24.2 billion for the quarter, up 15% from
last year's average of $21.0 billion, reflecting growth in loans and money
market assets.  Loans and leases averaged $12.0 billion for the quarter, an
increase of $1.5 billion or 14%.  Residential mortgages increased $543 million
or 12% to average $4.9 billion for the quarter and represented 41% of the total
loan portfolio at September 30, 1997. Commercial and industrial

loans averaged $3.6 billion during the quarter compared to $3.4 billion in the
third quarter of 1996.  The securities portfolio was virtually unchanged at $6.2
billion.  Money market assets increased from $2.1 billion in last year's third
quarter to average $3.6 billion in the current quarter.

     Common stockholders' equity averaged $1.5 billion, up 12% from last year's
third quarter. The increase primarily reflects the retention of earnings offset
in part by the repurchase of common stock pursuant to the Corporation's share
buyback program. During the quarter, the Corporation acquired a total of 307,681
shares at a cost of $16.6 million. An additional 3.6 million shares may be
purchased after September 30, 1997 under the current share buyback program.


                       NINE MONTH PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

period ended September 30, 1997.  Net income increased 19% to $228.1 million
compared with $191.4 million last year and resulted in a return on average
common equity of 20.2%.

     Total recurring revenues increased 15% from 1996 levels.  Trust fees
totaled $504.0 million, up 14% from $441.8 million reported last year.  Foreign

11% from the $313.5 million reported last year.

     The provision for credit losses decreased $5.5 million to $6.0 million in
1997. Noninterest expenses, excluding technology-related special charges, were
