     New York, July 18, 1995 --  Chemical Banking Corporation today
reported net income for the second quarter of $453 million, up 27
percent from net income of $357 million in the same period of 1994.
Primary earnings per share increased 35 percent to $1.72, compared
with $1.27 in the second quarter of 1994.

     For the first six months of 1995, net income was $838 million,
an increase of 24 percent from $676 million in the first half of
1994.  Primary earnings per share were up 33 percent to $3.17 per
share compared with $2.39 per share in the comparable period of
1994.

     "We had an excellent quarter, delivering on our performance
initiatives for  increased earnings per share, a higher return on
shareholders' equity and an improved efficiency ratio," said Walter
V. Shipley, chairman and chief executive officer.  "Core earnings
continued to improve, led by strong revenue growth in our
nationwide consumer and corporate finance businesses.  By managing
expenses in line with revenue opportunities, we also achieved an 11
percent improvement in our operating margin."

     In June, the corporation announced an increase in the
quarterly common stock dividend to 50 cents per share, up 14
percent from 44 cents per share.  The increase marked the fourth
time the dividend has been increased since March 1993, for a total
increase of 67 percent.

     The corporation's return on average common stockholders'
equity was 17.67 percent for the second quarter, compared with
13.90 percent a year ago.  The efficiency ratio was 59.4 percent,
compared with 62.3 percent for the second quarter of 1994.  The
corporation's estimated Tier I risk-based capital ratio was 8.0
percent at June 30, compared with 8.7 percent a year ago.  At June
30, the estimated total risk-based capital ratio was 11.9 percent,
compared with 12.8 percent a year ago.

NET INTEREST INCOME

     Net interest income for the second quarter was $1,162 million,
compared with $1,185 million last year.  Average interest-earning
assets were $139.1 billion, compared with $129.1 billion last year.

     The net yield on average interest-earning assets was 3.36
percent in the second quarter, compared with 3.69 percent in the
second quarter of 1994.  The declines primarily reflect narrower
loan spreads.

NONINTEREST REVENUE

     Noninterest revenue for the second quarter was $961 million,
up 11 percent from $867 million in the second quarter of 1994.

     Trust and investment management fees were $97 million,
compared with $108 million last year, partly reflecting the
accounting on an equity basis, beginning in 1995, of the
shareholder services joint venture with Mellon Bank Corporation.

     Corporate finance and syndication fees were $129 million, up
from $93 million in the second quarter a year ago, reflecting
increases in both loan syndication activity and public debt
underwritings.  Fees for other banking services were $290 million,
compared with $279 million in the second quarter of 1994,
reflecting higher results from credit card and mortgage servicing
operations.

     Combined revenues from all trading activities were $171
million in the second quarter, compared with $203 million in 1994,
but up from $56 million in the first quarter of 1995.  Compared
with the year-ago quarter, second quarter performance reflected
slightly lower results across a range of fixed income activities,
partly offset by an improved emerging markets environment.  The
increase from the first quarter resulted largely from improved
performance in emerging markets trading, as well as greater
stability of European interest rates.

     Securities gains in the second quarter were $69 million,
compared with gains of $13 million in the second quarter of 1994.

     Other noninterest revenue in the second quarter was $129
million, compared with $96 million in the second quarter a year
ago.  Revenues from equity and equity-related investments were $126
million, compared with $66 million in the same period a year ago.
Other noninterest revenue also included a loss of approximately $50
million related to the disposition of developing market loans
previously recorded as "available for sale."

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

     Noninterest expense in the second quarter was $1,248 million,
down 3 percent from $1,281 million in the second quarter of 1994,
and compared with $1,246 million in the first quarter of 1995.
Through the first six months of 1995, the corporation has exceeded
its goal of flat expenses this year, benefiting from the
acceleration of its margin improvement program.

      Foreclosed property expense in the second quarter was a
credit of $14 million, compared with 1994 second quarter expense of
$2 million, reflecting significant progress in managing the
corporation's real estate portfolio.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

     The provision for losses was $120 million in the second
quarter, compared with $160 million in the second quarter of 1994
and $120 million in the first quarter of 1995.

     Total net charge-offs were $145 million in the second quarter,
compared with  $476 million in the second quarter of 1994 and $145
million in the first quarter of 1995 .

     At June 30, the total allowance for credit losses was $2,430
million, compared with $2,676 million on the same date a year ago.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

     At June 30, total nonperforming assets were $1,118 million,
down from $1,130 million at March 31 and down $1,375 million, from
$2,493 million on June 30, 1994.

     Nonperforming loans at June 30 were $1,064 million, compared
with $1,069 million at March 31 and $1,758 million a year ago.
Assets acquired as loan satisfactions were $54 million at June 30,
compared with $61 million at March 31 and down from $735 million on
June 30, 1994.


OTHER FINANCIAL DATA

     In the second quarter of 1995, the corporation adopted SFAS
122 related to the accounting for originated mortgage servicing
rights, and as a result the corporation recognized an immaterial
gain during the quarter.

     The corporation's effective tax rate was 40.0 percent and 41.5
percent in the second quarters of 1995 and 1994, respectively.

 8

     The impact of marking "available for sale" securities to
market resulted in a net unfavorable impact of approximately $216
million after-tax on the corporation's stockholders' equity at June
30, compared with a net unfavorable impact of $472 million after-
tax at March 31.  The market valuation does not include the impact
of related funding sources.

     Total assets at June 30 were $178.5 billion, compared with
$168.9 billion on the same date a year ago.  Total loans at June 30
were $84.7 billion, compared with $74.7 billion at June 30, 1994,
reflecting improving trends in loan growth, especially to
consumers.  At the end of the second quarter, total deposits were
$94.9 billion, compared with $92.0 billion at June 30, 1994.

     The return on average total assets for the second quarter was
1.01 percent, compared with .87 percent in the same year-ago
period.

     Book value per share was $40.62 at June 30, versus $37.17 per
share on the same date a year ago.

             CHEMICAL ANNOUNCES EXPANDED STOCK BUYBACK
                                 
     NEW YORK, July 18, 1995 -- The Board of Directors of Chemical
Banking Corporation today authorized the repurchase of up to $1.2
billion of the company's outstanding common shares over the next 24
months.  In total, this would represent approximately 25 million
shares at yesterday's closing price of $48.125, or approximately 10
percent of the corporation's outstanding common shares.

     The buyback expands a program announced on December 1, 1994,
for the repurchase of 6 million shares.  At the end of the first
quarter, 4 million shares had been repurchased under this earlier
program.  The remaining 2 million shares are included in the $1.2
billion repurchase plan announced today.

     Chemical said that the expanded program reflects the
corporation's strong capital position and the fact that retained
earnings and the planned sale of non-strategic businesses would
generate capital in excess of that needed to support its core
business franchises.
