Item 1.   Financial Statements


                  THE JONES FINANCIAL COMPANIES, A MISSOURI
                        LIMITED LIABILITY 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 and
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 three months ended June 26, 1998, 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


                                    8

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partnership capital may not be withdrawn if resulting Net Capital would be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 26, 1998, EDJ's Net Capital of $235,993 was 23% of aggregate
debit items and its Net Capital in excess of the minimum required was
$215,789.  Net Capital as a percentage of aggregate debits after anticipated
withdrawals was 23%.  Net Capital and the related capital percentage may
fluctuate on a daily basis.

      Boone National Savings and Loan Association, F.A. ("Boone"), a wholly

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 includes $35 million realized from the sale of
2 million shares and $6 million unrealized from  400,000 shares still held.
The Partnership acquired a small interest in Federated Investors in 1989 for
$1 million as a strategic investment.

                       MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION

OPERATIONS
              QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 26, 1998, VERSUS

                  QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 27, 1997

      During the first six months of 1998, strong securities markets and
growth of the salesforce increased revenues and net income to record levels.
Excluding the gain  from the Partnership's interest in Federated Investors
(Gain on investment), revenue increased 27% ($143.8 million) to $684.7
million compared to the six months ended June 27, 1997.  Expenses increased
24% ($118.6 million) to $607 million.  As a result, net income increased 48%
($25.2 million) to $77.5 million.  Including the Partnership's $41 million
gain on investment, net income was $118.5 million.   Similarly, second
quarter revenues, excluding the gain on investment,  increased 31% ($87.3
million) with expenses increasing 28% ($70.2 million), and net income
increasing 60% ($17.1 million).  Net income for the quarter, including the
gain on investment, was $86.5 million.

      The Partnership broadly segments its revenues between Trade Revenue and
Fee Revenue.  Trade Revenue has increased 29% ($58.4 million) and 24% ($94
million) to $262.1 million and $491.2 million for the quarter and six months
ended June 26, 1998.  Four factors  affected this increase:  growth of
investment representatives, growth in customer dollars invested, changes in
the product mix and a decrease in business days.  The Partnership has added
approximately 500 investment representatives (IRs) since June, 1997,  a 14%
increase.  These additional investment representatives (coupled with the
continued maturing of the existing salesforce) and strong markets, resulted
in customer dollars invested increasing 24% ($1.9 billion) to $10.2 billion
and 22% ($3.5 billion) to $19.2 billion for the quarter and six months ended
June 26, 1998 compared to the same periods ended June 27, 1997.  Adding to
the impact of increased customer dollars was a slight increase in the gross
commission percentage earned on each customer dollar as the product mix
shifted from fixed income and CD's to equities and mutual funds. These
positive factors were offset by fewer selling days in both the quarter and
six months ended June 26, 1998 relative to 1997.

      Fee revenue sources, including service fees from mutual fund and
insurance companies, interest income, revenue sharing arrangements, and
custodial fees from IRA accounts, increased

38% ($28.3 million) and 34% ($49.3 million) for the three and six months ended
June 26, 1998.  Mutual Fund and Annuity Service fees increased 42% ($12.9
million ) and 39% ($23.4 million), for the three and six months ended June 26,
1998.  Revenues from revenue sharing arrangements increased 37% ($6.6 million)
and 41% ($30.6 million).  These revenue sources are impacted by customer assets
under influence which have been positively affected by the growth in customer
dollars invested discussed previously, and the strong securities market.
Customer assets under influence have increased 28% ($36 billion) over the
past year to $165 billion as of June 26, 1998.

      Interest income increased 31% ($7 million) and 29% ($11.9 million) for
the three and six months ended June 26, 1998.  The increase is attributable
to the growth in loans to customers (margin loans), which have increased 49%
($333.7 million) since June 1997.

      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.  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.  During
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 includes $35 million
realized from the sale of 2 million shares and $6 million unrealized from
400,000 shares still held.

      Expenses increased 28% ($70.2 million) and 24% ($118.6 million) to
$320.7 million and $607.1 million comparing the second quarter and first six
months of 1998 with 1997.  Growth of the salesforce and increased revenues
increased sales compensation costs by 31% ($29.9 million) and 26% ($49.3
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 74% ($16.6 million) and 55% ($23.3 million) for the three and six
months ended June 26, 1998 compared to the same periods ended June 27, 1997.
The remaining increase in Compensation is due to an increase in the number of
trainees and branch and headquarters support personnel required to support a
larger organization.

      Occupancy and Equipment expenses increased 18% ($5.9 million) and 17%
($10.8 million), respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 26,
1998.  The Partnership completed its conversion to client server technology
in mid-1997, increasing depreciation and

lease expenses.  Rent expense increased primarily due to a 12% (424)  increase
in the number of branch offices and tighter real estate markets.

      Other operating expenses increased 30% ($5.2 million) and 26% ($9.1
million), respectively, for the three and six months ended June 26, 1998,
compared to the same periods ended June 27, 1997.  The most significant
increase ($1.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively, for the quarter and
six months ended June 26, 1998) relates to the expansion of the Partnership's
national advertising program.  The remaining increases relate to increasing
the sales force and expanding internationally.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY

      The Partnership's equity capital at June 26, 1998, after the reserve
for anticipated withdrawals, was $322.9 million compared to $265.2 million as
of June 27, 1997.  Equity capital has increased primarily due to retention of
earnings and contributions of subordinated limited partnership capital, net
of redemptions of subordinated limited partnership and limited partnership
capital.

      At June 26, 1998, the Partnership had $85.3 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 $164 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 26, 1998, cash and cash equivalents
increased $23.5 million.  Cash flows from operating activities provided
$102.6 million.  Net income adjusted for depreciation provided $139.4 million
and  receivables from customers, (net of payables to customers), increased
$43.9 million.  Investing activities provided $12.5 million, net, from the
sale of investment and for the purchase of fixed assets.  Cash flows from
financing activities used $91.6 million primarily for withdrawals and
distributions from partnership capital, net of issuance of partnership
interests.  Excess cash balances were used to pay down long-term debt.

      There were no material changes in the Partnership's overall financial
condition during the six months ended June 26, 1998, compared with the six
months ended June 27, 1998.  The Partnership's balance sheet is comprised
primarily of cash and assets readily convertible into cash.  Securities
inventories are carried at market values and are readily marketable.
Customer margin accounts are collateralized by marketable securities.  Other
customer receivables and receivable 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.
