              THE JONES FINANCIAL COMPANIES, L.L.L.P.
         (A Missouri Limited Liability Limited Partnership)

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            (Unaudited)
                       (Amounts in thousands)


BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of The Jones Financial Companies, L.L.L.P. and all wholly owned
subsidiaries (The "Partnership").  All material intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated.  Investments in nonconsolidated
companies which are at least 20% owned are accounted for under the
equity method.
     The Partnership's principal operating subsidiary, Edward D. Jones
& Co., L.P. ("EDJ"), is engaged in business as a registered
broker/dealer primarily serving individual investors.  The Partnership
derives its revenues from the sale of listed and unlisted securities and
insurance products, investment banking and principal transactions, and
is a distributor of mutual fund shares.  The Partnership conducts
business throughout the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom
with its customers, various brokers, dealers, clearing organizations,
depositories and banks.
     The financial statements have been prepared under the accrual
basis of accounting which requires the use of certain estimates by
management in determining the Partnership's assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses.
     The financial information included herein is unaudited.  However,
in the opinion of management, such information includes all adjustments,
consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for
a fair presentation of the results of interim operations.
     The results of operations for the six months ended June 25, 1999,
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year.

NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
     As a result of its activities as a broker/dealer, EDJ is subject
to the Net Capital provisions of Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and the capital rules of the New York Stock Exchange.  Under
the alternative method permitted by the rules, EDJ must maintain minimum
Net Capital, as defined, equal to the greater of $250 or 2% of aggregate
debit items arising from customer transactions.  The Net Capital rule
also provides that partnership capital may not be withdrawn if resulting
Net Capital would be less than 5% of aggregate debit items.
Additionally, certain withdrawals require the consent of the SEC to the
extent they exceed defined levels even though such withdrawals would not
cause Net Capital to be less than 5% of aggregate debit items.
     At June 25, 1999, EDJ's Net Capital of $259,564 was 18% of
aggregate debit items and its Net Capital in excess of the minimum
required was $231,448.  Net Capital as a percentage of aggregate debits
after anticipated withdrawals was 18%.  Net Capital and the related
capital percentage may fluctuate on a daily basis.
     Boone National Savings and Loan Association, F.A. ("the
Association"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, is required
under federal regulation to maintain specified levels of liquidity and
capital standards. As of June 25, 1999, the Association has been in
compliance with these regulations.

GAIN ON INVESTMENT
     During 1998, the Partnership recognized a $41 million gain on its
Federated Investors holding due to Federated's initial public offering
of stock in May, 1998.  The gain included $35 million realized from the
sale of 2 million shares and $6 million unrealized from 400,000 shares
that were maintained at the date of the initial public offering.
During the second quarter of 1999, the Partnership disposed of an
additional 300,000 shares.  The Partnership acquired a small interest in
Federated Investors in 1989 for $1 million as a strategic investment.

              QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 26, 1998

     During the first six months of 1999, strong securities markets and
growth of the firm's salesforce caused revenues and net income to hit
record levels.  Excluding the May 1998 gain from the Partnership's
interest in Federated Investors (Gain on investment), Total Revenue
increased 25% ($172.5 million) to $856.3 compared to the six months
ended June 26, 1998.  Expenses increased 26% ($156 million) to $762.3
million.  As a result, Comprehensive Net Income increased 21% ($16.3
million) to $93.8 million.  Similarly, second quarter revenues,
excluding the May 1998 gain on investment, increased 26% ($94 million)
with expenses increasing 26% ($84.6 million), and Comprehensive Net
Income increasing 19% ($8.9 million).  Including the $41 million
investment gain, net income decreased 21% for the six months of 1999 and
37% for the second quarter of 1999 compared with 1998.
     The Partnership broadly segments its revenues between Trade
Revenue and Fee Revenue.  Trade Revenue has increased 22% ($58.7) and
21% ($102.7 million) to $320.9 million and $594 million for the quarter
and six months ended June 25, 1999.  This increase is due to growth in
both the number of Investment Representatives (IRs) and customer dollars
invested during the period, offset by changes in the margin earned on
customer dollars invested and a decrease in selling days.  The
Partnership has added approximately 1,025 IRs since June 1998, a 24%
increase.  Growth in IRs (coupled with the continued maturing of the
existing sales force and strong markets) resulted in customer dollars
invested increasing 35% ($3.5 billion) to $13.7 billion and 34% ($6.5
billion) to $25.8 billion for the quarter and six months ended June 25,
1999 compared to the same periods ended June 26, 1998.  These two
positive factors were offset by a slight decrease in the gross
commission percentage earned on each customer dollar as the product mix
shifted to lower margin products and one less selling day for the first
six months of 1999 compared to the same period in 1998.  The decline in
margin resulted in a $2.50 decrease in revenue per $1,000 invested,
which translates to $64 million less trade revenue.
     Fee revenue sources, which include service fees, revenue sharing
agreements with mutual funds and insurance companies, interest income,
IRA custodial fees, and other fees increased 34% ($35.1 million) 36%
($69.3 million) for the quarter and six months ended June 25, 1999.

increased 28% ($12.1 million) and 27% ($22.8 million) for the three and
six months ended June 25, 1999. Most of the firm's Fee Revenue sources
are impacted by customers' assets under care which have been positively
affected by the growth in customer dollars invested discussed and the
strong securities market.  Customers' assets under care have increased
21% ($35 billion) over the past year to $200 billion as of June 25,
1999.
     Net interest income increased 22% ($4 million) to $21.8 million
and 32% ($9.9 million) to $40 million for the three and six months ended
June 25, 1999.  The increase is primarily attributable to the growth in
loans to customers (margin loans), which have increased 37% ($373.3
million) since June 1998.
     The Partnership acquired a small interest in Federated Investors
in 1989 for $1 million as a strategic investment.  The Partnership
distributes Federated's mutual funds and since the early 1980's, the
Partnership and Federated have jointly owned Passport Research, Ltd.,
the investment advisor to the Partnership's money market fund, Daily
Passport Cash Trust.  In May 1998, the Partnership sold 2 million shares
of its investment in Federated Investors in Federated's initial public
offering.  The Partnership recognized a $41 million gain on its
Federated holding.  The gain included $35 million realized from the sale
of 2 million shares and $6 million unrealized from 400,000 shares still
held at May 1998.  The gain is reported in the income statement caption
"Gain on investment".  In April 1999, the Partnership sold 300,000 of
the remaining 400,000 shares held.  The sales proceeds approximated the
Partnerships' carrying value of these shares.
     Expenses increased 26% ($84.6 million) and 26% ($156 million) to
$404.5 million and $762.3 million comparing the three months and six
months ended June 25, 1999 to the same periods of 1998.  Growth of the
firm's salesforce and increased revenues caused sales compensation costs
to increase 23% ($29.9 million) and 22% ($53.3 million) for the same
periods.  The Partnership has a variable compensation structure which
expands with increased profitability.  Variable compensation, which is
primarily comprised of IR bonuses and profit sharing contributions,
increased 25% ($9.7 million) and 32% ($21.3 million) for the quarter and
six months ended June 25, 1999 compared to the same periods ended June
26, 1998. The remaining increase in Compensation is due to an increase
in the number of sales trainees and branch and headquarters support
personnel required to support a larger organization.
     Occupancy and Equipment and Communications and Data Processing
expenses increased 27% ($15.5 million) and 26% ($28.8 million) to $72
million and $138.3 million for the quarter and six months ended June 25,
1999.  Increased expense levels are required to support the
Partnership's expansion of its headquarters and branch locations.

        Results of Operations

     Other operating expenses increased 36% ($8.6 million) and 29%
($13.4 million) to $32.2 million and $60 million for the quarter and six
months ended June 25, 1999. This increase is primarily attributable to
expansion of the Partnership's national advertising program, growing its
salesforce, and expanding internationally.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY
     The Partnership's equity capital at June 25, 1999, after the
reserve for anticipated withdrawals, was $426 million compared to $323
million as of June 26, 1998.  Equity capital has increased primarily due
to retention of General Partner earnings, contributions of subordinated
limited partnership capital, and completion of a $62 million limited
partnership offering in July 1998.
     At June 25, 1999, the Partnership had $123.4 million in cash and
cash equivalents.  Lines of credit are in place at ten banks aggregating
$575 million ($500 million of which are through uncommitted lines of
credit).  Actual borrowing availability is primarily based on securities
owned and customers' margin securities which serve as collateral for the
loans.
     A substantial portion of the Partnership's assets are primarily
liquid, consisting mainly of cash and assets readily convertible into
cash.  These assets are financed primarily by customer credit balances,
equity capital, bank lines of credit and other payables.  The
Partnership has $142 million in U.S. agency and treasury securities
(Investment Securities) which can be sold to meet liquidity needs. The
Partnership believes that the liquidity provided by existing cash
balances, borrowing arrangements, and Investment Securities will be
sufficient to meet the Partnership capital and liquidity requirements.
     The Partnership's growth in recent years has been financed through
sales of limited partnership interests to its employees, retention of
earnings, and private placements of long-term and subordinated debt.
     The Partnership's principal subsidiary, Edward D. Jones & Co.,
L.P. ("EDJ") as a securities broker/dealer, is subject to the Securities
and Exchange Commission regulations requiring EDJ to maintain certain
liquidity and capital standards.  EDJ has been in compliance with these
regulations.

CASH FLOWS
     For the six months ended June 25, 1999, cash and cash equivalents
decreased $20.3 million.  Cash flows from operating activities provided
$127.9 million.  Comprehensive net income adjusted for depreciation
provided $120.4 million and receivables from customers, net

of payables to customers, increased $342.4 million.  Investing
activities used $43.6 million for the purchase of fixed assets.  Cash
flows from financing activities used $104.6 million primarily for
withdrawals and distributions from partnership capital, net of issuance
of subordinated limited partnership interests.
     There were no material changes in the Partnership's overall
financial condition during the six months ended June 25, 1999, compared
with the six months ended June 26, 1998.  Securities inventories are
carried at market values and are readily marketable.  Customer margin
accounts are collateralized by marketable securities.  Other customer
receivables and receivables and payables with other broker/dealers
normally settle on a current basis.  Liabilities, including certain
amounts payable to customers, checks, accounts payable and accrued
expenses are sources of funds to the Partnership.  These liabilities, to
the extent not utilized to finance assets, are available to meet
liquidity needs and provide funds for short-term investments, which
favorably impacts profitability.

YEAR 2000 SYSTEM ISSUES
     The Partnership has been preparing its systems for the Year 2000.
Year 2000 plans encompass The Jones Financial Companies, L.L.L.P. and
its subsidiaries, both domestic and international.  The Partnership's
assessment of the impact of Year 2000 on its systems and the steps
required to modify its systems are substantially complete. This was
accomplished through numerous tests, renovation, and replacement of its
systems.
     The Partnership participated in the March, 1999 securities
industry test and has filed the BD-Y2K report with the SEC as of June
30, 1999.  Contingency plans for the Year 2000 were completed during
March, 1999.  The cost of preparing the systems for Year 2000 compliance
is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Partnership's
operating results or financial condition.
     In addition to renovating its own systems, the Partnership is
working with its vendors to assess their Year 2000 readiness.
Regardless of these efforts, no level of effort or testing can guarantee
that potential Year 2000 problems will not occur.

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 those specific to the Partnership 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 Partnership failures to
achieve timely, effective remediation of the Year 2000 issues, 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 Partnership does
not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking
statements.

Item 3. Market Risk Disclosure

     There were no significant changes in the Partnership's exposure to
interest rate risk during the quarter ended June 25, 1999.
