the Securities and Exchange Commission:

RE:     UMB Scout Capital Preservation Fund, Inc.
        Form N-17f-2
        File Number 811-08511


We have examined management's assertion about UMB SCOUT CAPITAL
PRESERVATION FUND, INC.'s (the "Company's") compliance with the
requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act") as of June 30, 1999,
included in the accompanying Management Statement Regarding
Compliance with Certain Provisions of the Investment Company Act
of 1940.  Management is responsible for the Company's compliance
with those requirements.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on management's assertion about the Company's compliance
based on our examination.

Our examination was made in accordance with standards established
by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and,
accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about
the Company's compliance with those requirements and performing
such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances.  Included among our procedures were the following
tests performed as of June 30, 1999, with respect to securities
of about UMB SCOUT CAPITAL PRESERVATION FUND, INC., without prior
notice to management:

Confirmation of all securities held by the Federal Reserve Bank
of Kansas City, The Depository Trust Company, Participants Trust
Company, the Morgan Stanley Trust Company, UMB Bank - N.Y., and
Euroclear in book entry form;

Reconciliation of all such securities to the books and records of
the Company and the Custodian;

Confirmation of all repurchase agreements with brokers/banks and
agreement of underlying collateral with custodian records.


We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.  Our examination does not provide a legal
determination on the Company's compliance with specified
requirements.

In our opinion, management's assertion that about UMB SCOUT
CAPITAL PRESERVATION FUND, INC. was in compliance with the
requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as of June 30, 1999 with respect
to securities reflected in the investment account of the Company
is fairly stated, in all material respects.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management of about UMB SCOUT CAPITAL PRESERVATION FUND, INC. and
the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be
and should not be used by anyone other than these specified
parties.
