THE WALL STREET FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1995


(1) Summary of significant accounting policies:
The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as
a diversified, open-end management investment company. The following is a
summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in
the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(A) Securities Valuations - The value of investments is based on the published
last sale prices on national securities exchanges, or, in the absence of
recorded sales, at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices on such
exchanges or over-the-counter. At December 31, 1995, the Fund held a security
for which a market quotation was not readily available and which was valued in
good faith by the Board of Directors. This security had a value of $112,000
representing 0.78% of the Fund s net assets.

(B) Federal Income Taxes - No provision for federal income taxes has been made
in the accompanying financial statements, since the Fund intends to continue to
comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
investment companies and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of
its net investment income and net realized gains on investments.

(C) Other - Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are
purchased or sold. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex-dividend date. The net realized gains and losses are
determined on the identified cost basis. The Fund may periodically make
reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts as a result of the
timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions
determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations which may differ
from generally accepted accounting principles. During the year ended December
31, 1995 the Fund reclassified the net investment loss of $48,766 to additional
paid-in capital.

(2) Purchases and sales securities:
Purchases and sales of investment securities, during the year ended December 31,
1995 aggregated $17,774,682 and $18,649,409, respectively.

(3) Investment advisory fees and other:
The advisory agreement provides for advisory fees of 1/16 of 1% monthly
(equivalent to 3/4 of 1% per annum) of the first $125,000,000 of average net
assets of the Fund. The present advisory agreement also provides for the adviser
to reimburse the Fund for any expenses (including the advisory fee but excluding
taxes, interest and brokerage fees and extraordinary expenses incurred in
connection with any matter not in the ordinary course of business of the Fund)
over 2% of the first $10,00,000, 1 1/2% of the next $20,000,000 and 1% of any
balance of the average daily net asset value.

For the year ended December 31, 1995, Wall Street Management Corporation (WSMC)
earned investment advisory fees of $95,114 and  reimbursed the Fund $15,425 for
expenses. 

The adviser also serves as the Fund s principal underwriter. For the year ended
December 31, 1995, WSMC received $538 as its portion of the sales charge on
sales of shares of the Fund. Certain of the officers and directors of the Fund
are officers and directors of WSMC.

The Fund has arranged for American Data Services, Inc., of which the Fund s
Secretary and Treasurer is a principal, to prepare the accounting records and
perform administrative and transfer agent services for the Fund. Costs incurred
totalled $73,451 for the year ended December 31, 1995.

Morse, Williams & Co., Inc. (MWC), 100% owner of WSMC, performs administrative
services for the Fund. This includes costs of shared office expenses, rent,
telephone charges and supply expenses. For the year ended December 31, 1995, no
remuneration was paid by the Fund to MWC.

(4) Capital stock:
At December 31, 1995 there were 5,000,000 shares of $1 par value capital stock
authorized. Transactions in capital stock during the year ended December 31,
1995 and the year ended December 31, 1994  were as follows:

This report is not to be construed as an offering for the sale of The
Wall Street Fund, Inc., or as a solicitation of an offer to buy any such
shares, unless accompanied by an effective prospectus setting forth details
of the Fund including the sales charge and other material information.





The maximum initial sales charge payable on an investment in the Fund was 5.50%
at December 31, 1985. At public offering price of $10,000, the net investment
in the Fund would be $9,450, assuming no waiver or reduction of sales charges.
Currently, the maximum sales charge is 4.0%. The performance information shown
represents past performance and should not be interpreted as indicative of the
Fund's future performance. Return and share price will fluctuate so that
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.




MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION OF
FUND PERFORMANCE
The Fund's broad diversification policy combined with Fund Management's stock
selection were significant factors contributing to Fund performance in 1995.
Management's strategy of investing in companies selected from a variety of 
broad industry groups and investing in a large number of different companies
with strong fundamental growth characteristics provides protection from long
term fundamental portfolio risk. Fund Management's analytical emphasis on a
company's future sustainable earnings growth and the quality of corporate
management are also important to Fund performance.

Throughout 1995 interest rates declined steadily from the previous years high
levels which positively effected the prices of the Fund's equity investments.
Market prices for your Fund's investments generally increased due to strong
corporate earnings. During the first half of the year your Fund's net asset
value per share increased 16.71%. During the second half of 1995, including a
capital gain distribution of $1.80 per share, the net asset value per share
rose 16.97%. 




<PAGE>


Dear Fellow Shareholders:
As the performance numbers indicate, 1995 was a vintage year for your Fund. We
enjoyed a total return of +36.5% for the year as reported by CDA/Weisenberger
Mutual Fund reports. Since December 31, 1990, we have had an average annual
total return of better than 19% through December 31, 1995. Your Fund is now
top ranked "A" by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. for five year performance
as reported in the Wall Street Journal.

The year 1995 was good for U.S. investors across the board. The S&P 500 total
return was +37.5%. The smaller capitalization index, the Russell 2000, was
+28.5% and the intermediate Lehman Govern-ment/Corporate bond index was +15.3%.

Looking ahead to 1996, we believe real GDP growth in the U.S. is likely to be
2.5% to 3%, in line with the long term non-inflationary growth rate after a
weak first quarter. The balanced budget argument in Washington and the
unsettled state of Government Funding along with the impact of the Blizzard
of 1996 in the Northeast U.S., is likely to hold down real GDP growth to
near-anemic levels in the first quarter of the new year. After a resolution of
the budget issue and better weather, real growth should turn up. Growth should
be aided by the Federal Reserve as they lower short term interest rates to
bring them more in line with inflation which is expected to remain in the
2% to 3% range.

While equities had excellent returns last year, the new year, after early
weakness, also may be a pretty good year. Valuation levels as measured, for
instance, by price earnings ratios are not excessive for a low interest rate
environment. While stocks performed well in 1995 the price earnings 
ratio of the market is about the same today as it was at the beginning of
last year. Should interest rates stay low or go lower in the future, the price
earnings ratios may actually shift upward. This upward revision in price
earnings ratios may begin in 1996 and is something to look forward to 
over future years. If an upward shift in price earnings ratios is accompanied
by strong earnings, stocks can perform very nicely.

For the markets, 1996 is likely to be a more erratic year than last year with
an uncertain first half and second half strengthening. We expect good quality
growth related investments to do well and provide returns in the low double
digits with bond returns probably equal to their coupons. For those interested
in historical patterns, it should be noted that in the last 110 years of market
history, there are only four Presidential election years when stocks have
declined.  

In order to save shareholders expense, The Board of Directors has decided to
hold shareholder meetings only when an event requires. Hence, no shareholder
meeting in 1996 is anticipated. The Board is authorized to do this because the
Fund is incorporated in Maryland and the corporate law has been amended to
waive the requirement that investment companies, such as the Fund, hold a 
meeting of shareholders every year. This law was adopted so that investment
companies and their shareholders would be spared the expenses otherwise
incurred in holding routine annual meetings. The Board of Directors of the
Fund has determined that no extraordinary events necessitate the holding of an
annual meeting this year. In the event that a circumstance arises necessitating
special shareholder approval such a meeting will be held.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to call me directly.

                           Sincerely,


                           /s/ Robert P. Morse
