Relating to Exchange Act Filings

I, Robert L. Bagby, state and attest that:

(1)  To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered reports of
       A.G. Edwards, Inc., and, except as corrected or supplemented in a subsequent covered report:

•    No covered report contained an untrue statement of a material fact as of the end of the period
     covered by such report (or in the case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials,
     as of the date on which it was filed); and

•    No covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements in the
     covered report, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
     not misleading as of the end of the period covered by such report (or in the case of a report
     on form 8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of the date on which it was filed).

(2)  I have reviewed the contents of this statement with the Company's audit committee.

(3)  In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on or before the date of this
      statement, is a "covered report":

•    Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2002 of A.G. Edwards, Inc.
