PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
 
 
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although financial turmoil in Pacific Basin countries was a catalyst
for significant volatility in U.S. markets in late October, the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index remained up more than 25% year-to-date,
twice its historical annual average. Meanwhile, bond markets -
primarily influenced by a relatively steady flow of positive news on
the inflation front - continued to post moderate returns through the
first 10 months of 1997.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you
will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment
horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example,
enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may
have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of
return.
An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment
horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be
the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider
moving some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These
funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We are
available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide you the
information you need to make the investments that are right for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). You can also look at the fund's income, as
reflected in the fund's yield, to measure performance. If Fidelity had
not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past five and 10 year total
returns and dividends would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five
years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund
that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment
would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance
of the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond Index -
a market value weighted performance benchmark for government and
corporate fixed-rate debt issues with maturities between one and 10
years. You can also compare the fund's performance to averages
calculated by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. The fund formerly was
included in Lipper's intermediate investment grade debt funds category
(which included 217 funds for the past six months), but will be
included in the short-intermediate investment grade debt funds
category (107 funds) in the future. These benchmarks include
reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect
of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS:  Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Intermediate Bond Fund on October 31, 1987. As
the chart shows, by October 31, 1997, the value of the investment
would have grown to $21,832 - a 118.32% increase on the initial
investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers
Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond Index did over the same period.
With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000
investment would have grown to $22,423 - a 124.23% increase.

number, based on an average share price of $10.14 over the past one
month, $10.07 over the past six months and $10.06 over the past one
year, you can compare the fund's income over these three periods. The
30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula for all funds based on
the yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days.
This figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
 
 
An interview with Christine Thompson, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Intermediate Bond Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, CHRISTINE?
A. For the six months that ended October 31, 1997, the fund had a
total return of 5.56%, just behind the 5.66% return of the Lehman
Brothers Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond Index over the same
period. For the 12 months that ended October 31, 1997, the fund had a
total return of 7.34%, while the Lehman Brothers index posted a return
of 7.49%.
Q. HOW DID PERFORMANCE STACK UP AGAINST THE FUND'S PEERS?
A. The fund outperformed its Lipper peer group - Lipper's
short-intermediate investment grade debt funds - which recorded
average returns of 3.86% for the six-month period and 6.12% for the
12-month period. Lipper historically placed the fund in its
intermediate investment grade debt funds average, so this peer group
is a new one for the fund. The short-intermediate category turns out
to be a better fit because Lipper's definition of "intermediate"
differs from the fund's. The funds in Lipper's intermediate category
tend to have longer maturities, and more interest-rate sensitivity,
than the fund and the Lehman Brothers index.
Q. WHAT ROLE DOES THE LEHMAN BROTHERS INTERMEDIATE
GOVERNMENT/CORPORATE BOND INDEX PLAY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND?
A. I use it as a  representation of the overall market in which the
fund invests. The index includes most of the universe of
investment-grade bonds with maturities between one and 10 years, other
than mortgage securities. The composition of that universe is skewed
toward the shorter end of the maturity range because there are more
short-term bonds outstanding. I manage the fund to have similar
overall interest-rate risk to its benchmark index, but beyond that,
the fund can vary significantly from the index. With respect to
sector, issuer and structural composition, the fund's holdings reflect
our research conclusions on the relative values of bonds.
Q. HOW WOULD YOU COMPARE THE FUND'S RETURN TO THAT OF THE INDEX AND
THE NEW PEER GROUP?
A. As I said, the fund is managed with an interest-rate sensitivity,
or duration, that closely resembles the duration of the benchmark
index over time. During the period, the fund's returns closely tracked
the index. Over the past year, bond valuation measures have been very
compressed, meaning that different sectors of the bond market with
similar maturities did not provide much of a variation in returns. In
this environment, it's more difficult to differentiate returns than it
would be in an environment where credit quality, cash-flow structures
and characteristics of different non-government sectors are valued
more differently. In comparison with the new Lipper peer group, the
fund generally had a slightly longer duration than the funds in the
average. As a result, its return compared to that universe partially
reflects how the bond market performed. With a slightly higher
interest-rate sensitivity, the fund's performance compares a bit more
favorably in rallying markets such as the one we've seen over the past
12 months.
Q. HOW DID CORPORATE BONDS AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES PERFORM?
A. For the six months that ended October 31, 1997, Treasuries returned
7.87%, while corporate bonds in the overall marketplace returned
7.93%. That outperformance reflected the incremental yield that the
corporate sector offered - as well as an overall trend of decreasing
yield advantages and increasing price - relative to Treasuries. The
mortgage sector also performed well during much of the period. In an
environment marked by low interest-rate volatility, mortgage-backed
securities benefited from the added yields that they offered relative
to Treasuries, as well as predictable prepayment trends. Prepayment
risk is the risk that mortgage holders will pay off their mortgages
before the maturity date, such as in the form of refinancing at a
lower interest rate. Refinancing-based prepayments force
mortgage-backed bond investors to reinvest at a lower interest rate,
if they wish to remain invested in the sector.
Q. THE FUND'S CORPORATE HOLDINGS WERE HEAVILY INVESTED IN FINANCE.
WHY?
A. The fund was overweighted in U.S. domestic bank issues. The U.S.
banking sector has strengthened its financial position as the economy
has grown and the institutions have been managed with improved risk
controls, expense management and preparation for prospective problems
in their loan portfolios. In addition, consolidation within the
industry through mergers and acquisitions has increased the sector's
credit profile, as Bbb-rated smaller banks are absorbed by Aa-rated
and A-rated larger banks.
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR FEELING ABOUT YANKEE BONDS DURING THE PERIOD?
A. Yankee bonds - dollar-denominated bonds issued in the U.S. by
foreign banks, governments and corporations - were interesting to
watch because of the turmoil throughout many Southeast Asian countries
during the past six months. There's been a dramatic cheapening in that
part of the market, which to a lesser degree has carried over to
non-Asian yankee issues. While the fund had little direct exposure to
Asian names, I have been reviewing the higher-quality niches in the
yankee market to find attractive opportunities.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE 
BOND MARKET?
A. Following a recent increase in bond market volatility - mostly in
response to problems in Southeast Asia and stock market gyrations -
we're beginning to see much more differentiation between the pricing
of all types of fixed-income securities in the marketplace. Credit
qualities, structural differences and other characteristics of many
non-government sectors are increasingly being priced to reflect unique
risk/reward characteristics. I expect this environment to provide the
fund with opportunities to outperform as we utilize our research to
identify superior investments.

CHRISTINE THOMPSON ON 
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH:
"Quantitative research allows us to 
understand how our funds are 
likely to perform relative to the 
market in a variety of interest-rate 
environments and market 
scenarios. Our research draws on 
historical performance to model 
how individual securities react 
and allows us to combine certain 
groupings of securities to examine 
their performance together under 
various circumstances. 
"Quantitative research allows us 
to analyze issues such as: How do 
the payment patterns of the bonds 
in a portfolio come together? How 
would you expect these valuation 
measures to adjust and to offset 
one another in different market 
environments? If we relived in the 
future some of the extreme 
environments that we've seen in 
the past, what kind of returns 
would you expect this portfolio to 
have relative to the overall 
market? 
"Being able to model a portfolio 
that contains securities with many 
different cash-flow characteristics 
to find out how the portfolio is 
likely to perform in an extreme 
interest-rate environment, for 
example, is very useful in 
controlling risks and positioning the 
fund."

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Intermediate Bond Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Commonwealth Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management
investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles which permit management to make certain
estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The
following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized
matrix system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which
consider market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations.
Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are
not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in
good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general
supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities with
remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are
not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost
plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Income
receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the
prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.
Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at
the contractual currency exchange rates established at the time of
each trade.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, and the
difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the
U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in
foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are
included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on
investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Interest income, which includes accretion of
original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
between the funds in the trust.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 
POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and
paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized
gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for paydown gains/losses on certain securities, market
discount and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax
regulations.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Distributions in excess of net investment income and accumulated
undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign
currency transactions may include temporary book and tax basis
differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable
income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the
following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade. The cost of the foreign currency contracts is
included in the cost basis of the associated investment.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with other
affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR),
may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading
accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase
agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above. 
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities
that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt

from registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations
and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.
At the end of the period, the fund had no investments in restricted
securities (excluding 144A issues).
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS. 
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $1,197,938,000 and $1,216,287,000 respectively, of which
U.S. government and government agency obligations aggregated
$541,552,000 and $591,373,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. 
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a
fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of
the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of
rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual
funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .1100% to .3700% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. In the event that
these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the
period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted
in the same or a lower management fee. For the period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .44% of average net
assets.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annualized rate of .19% of average net assets.
ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee
is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus
out-of-pocket expenses. 
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
The fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian and transfer
agent whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances
were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses. During the
period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were reduced by
$6,000 and $261,000, respectively, under these arrangements.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although financial turmoil in Pacific Basin countries was a catalyst
for significant volatility in U.S. markets in late October, the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index remained up more than 25% year-to-date,
twice its historical annual average. Meanwhile, bond markets -
primarily influenced by a relatively steady flow of positive news on
the inflation front - continued to post moderate returns through the
first 10 months of 1997.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation. 
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We are
available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide you the
information you need to make the investments that are right for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund
expenses, the total returns would have been lower.

S&P 500 INDEX OBJECTIVE FUNDS AVERAGE   14.85%   31.39%   142.24%   N/A       
 
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five
years or since the fund started on March 6, 1990. For example, if you
had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year,
the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the
fund's returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index -
a widely recognized, unmanaged index of common stocks. To measure how
the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare
it to the S&P 500 index objective funds average, which reflects the
performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc. The past six months average represents a
peer group of 73 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales
charges.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a slightly different figure than
that obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and
annualizing the result.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND:  Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Spartan Market Index Fund on March 6, 1990, when the fund
started. As the chart shows, by October 31, 1997, the value of the
investment would have grown to $32,879 - a 228.79% increase on the
initial investment. For comparison, look at how the S&P 500 did over
the same period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000
investment would have grown to $33,425 - a 234.25% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is 
no guarantee of how it will do 
tomorrow. The stock market, 
for example, has a history of 
long-term growth and 
short-term volatility. In turn, the 
share price and return of a 
fund that invests in stocks will 
vary. That means if you sell 
your shares during a market 
downturn, you might lose 
money. But if you can ride out 
the market's ups and downs, 
you may have a gain.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
 
 
An interview with Jennifer Farrelly, Portfolio Manager of Spartan
Market Index Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, JENNIFER?
A. For the six months that ended October 31, 1997, the fund returned
15.13%. That compares with the 15.16% return of the Standard & Poor's
500 Index for the same period. The S&P 500 index objective funds
average, as tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, returned 14.85% in
the six-month period. For the 12 months that ended October 31, 1997,
the fund had a total return of 31.72%. That compares with the 32.11%
return of the S&P 500 and the 31.39% return of the Lipper average for
the same 12-month period.
Q. WHAT'S THE MARKET BEEN LIKE DURING THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. The stock market's taken investors on quite a roller coaster ride
over the past six months. The period started on an upturn in May,
after the market experienced a steep drop in March and April when
concerns about inflation arose. At the end of March, the Federal
Reserve Board raised the federal funds rate - the rate banks charge
each other for overnight loans - by 0.25 percentage points to 5.50%.
However, economic indicators showed the economy cooling off a bit in
the second quarter, easing inflation fears and causing the market to
rally all the way through July. Large-capitalization stocks were the
main drivers of the upswing during the first half of the period. From
August through October, though, momentum veered away from large-cap
stocks as investors began favoring mid- and small-cap stocks. That's
because large companies such as Gillette and Coca-Cola warned that
current-year earnings would fall short of analysts' estimates, and
many of these stocks were trading at high valuation levels. Investors
saw opportunities to buy small-cap and mid-cap companies that hadn't
yet reached peak valuations relative to their earnings growth. 
Q. WHAT ABOUT THE STEEP DROP IN THE MARKET AT THE END OF THE PERIOD?
A. The market began losing steam at the beginning of October after Fed
Chairman Alan Greenspan said that economic growth was on an
"unsustainable track." Greenspan pointed to the low jobless rate,
saying it could lead to wage increases and inflationary pressures. On
top of that sentiment, Southeast Asian economies began a freefall
after several countries in the region experienced currency
difficulties. On October 27, a steep drop in the Hong Kong market
triggered a 554-point drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average - the
biggest daily point drop in the Dow's history. The market rebounded
337 points the next day, reflecting the fact that the market felt the
U.S. economy remained strong despite the troubles in Southeast Asia.
Q. FINANCE WAS THE LARGEST SECTOR IN THE INDEX AT THE END OF THE
PERIOD. HOW DID THESE STOCKS PERFORM?
A. Most bank and brokerage stocks performed well during the period as
a result of increased fee-based revenues, higher levels of merger and
acquisition activity and robust capital markets. I should also mention
that most finance stocks, especially those with sizeable exposures to
international markets, fell with the rest of the market at the end of
the period.
Q. WHAT ABOUT TECHNOLOGY?
A. Personal computer manufacturers such as Compaq Computer,
International Business Machines and Hewlett-Packard enjoyed the
strongest growth as falling PC prices helped spur demand in both the
consumer and commercial markets. Semiconductor manufacturers reported
solid growth through much of the period, but were hurt late in the
period after Intel announced it would postpone plans to open a
semiconductor plant in Texas because of weakening demand for flash
memory chips. This type of chip stores information even after a PC's
power has been turned off. Thus, after a strong start, technology
stocks suffered a blow late in the period. These companies were
extremely sensitive to the turmoil in Southeast Asia because much of
their business was tied to the region.
Q. WERE THERE ANY SECTORS OF THE MARKET THAT PROVED TO BE
DISAPPOINTING?
A. Nondurables suffered in the third quarter, particularly after
Gillette and Coca-Cola warned of disappointing earnings. Shares of
large multinational companies suffered the most because the
strengthening of the dollar versus major currencies caused analysts to
become concerned with the future profits of firms that operate
globally.
Q. IF SHAREHOLDERS APPROVE THE APPOINTMENT OF BANKERS TRUST COMPANY AS
A SUB-ADVISOR OF THE FUND, WHAT CHANGES WILL BE MADE?
A. The fund will continue to operate in the same way as when Fidelity
was responsible for the day-to-day management of the fund. This fund
is an index fund, meaning it attempts to replicate the total return of
a major market index - in this case, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
Because of that make-up, the fund is passively managed, rather than
being actively managed every day. Fidelity is known for its active
management of funds. Fidelity portfolio managers of actively managed
funds use research and analysis to build portfolios and actively
change sector weightings and individual holdings as necessary to
generate the best returns for shareholders. The appointment of Bankers
Trust would allow Fidelity to offer its shareholders index funds,
while maintaining Fidelity's focus on the active management of mutual
funds. Shareholders were mailed proxy statements this fall in which
they were asked to approve the appointment of Bankers Trust at a
shareholder meeting to be held on November 19, 1997. The Bankers Trust
appointment will be effective in December 1997.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I expect volatility to continue in the market for a while. I don't
think we've seen the last of the ripple effects from the problems in
Southeast Asia. However, that uncertainty should give the Fed enough
reasons not to raise interest rates in the next several months.
Overall, the U.S. economy continues to grow at a moderate rate, which
bodes well for long-term gains in the market.

JENNIFER FARRELLY ON CHANGES 
TO THE S&P 500:
"The S&P 500 is an index of 500 
stocks chosen to be representative 
of the broader market. Periodically, 
companies will be added or deleted 
from the index. Usually, this is based 
on events such as acquisitions, 
spin-offs or shifts in asset size."
Here are some recent changes to 
the index: 
(solid bullet)  May 23: Conrail, Inc. is 
removed from the index following 
its acquisition by S&P 500 
components Norfolk Southern 
Corp. and CSX Corp. in a joint cash 
tender offer.
(solid bullet)  May 30: Morgan Stanley is 
removed due to its merger with Dean 
Witter, Discover Co.
(solid bullet)  August 1: McDonnell Douglas 
is removed after its merger with 
S&P 500 component Boeing Co.
(solid bullet)  August 13: Fort James, the

was removed from the list.)
(solid bullet)  August 15: NYNEX Corp. is 
removed from the index following 
its merger with S&P 500 component 
Bell Atlantic Corp.

shareholder meeting on November 
19, 1997.

REQUIRED TO DISCLOSE ITS AVERAGE COMMISSION RATE PER SHARE FOR
SECURITY TRADES ON WHICH COMMISSIONS ARE CHARGED. THIS AMOUNT MAY VARY
FROM PERIOD TO PERIOD AND FUND TO FUND DEPENDING ON THE MIX OF TRADES
EXECUTED IN VARIOUS MARKETS WHERE TRADING PRACTICES AND COMMISSION

6. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Spartan Market Index Fund (the fund) is a fund of  Fidelity
Commonwealth Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management
investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles which permit management to make certain
estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The
following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are
readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale
price, at the closing bid price. Securities for which exchange
quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt
securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using
dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value as determined in
good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general
supervision of the Board of Trustees.  Short-term securities with
remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are
not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost
plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Income
receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the
prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.
Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at
the contractual currency exchange rates established at the time of
each trade.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, and the
difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the
U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in
foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are
included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on
investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 
POLICIES - CONTINUED
INVESTMENT INCOME - CONTINUED
Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded
at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income,
which includes accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as
earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld
where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
between the funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for  futures and options transactions and market discount.
The fund also utilized earnings and profits distributed to
shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid
deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
REDEMPTION FEES. Shares held in the fund less than 90 days are subject
to a redemption fee equal to .50% of the proceeds of the redeemed
shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an
addition to paid in capital.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
7. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund may use foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade. The cost of the foreign currency contracts is
included in the cost basis of the associated investment.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested 
2. OPERATING POLICIES - 
CONTINUED
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT - CONTINUED
cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances
are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or
Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian.  The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest).  FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.  
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by FMR Texas, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The Cash
Fund is an open-end money market fund available only to investment
companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The
Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income
by investing in U.S. Treasury securities and repurchase agreements for
these securities. Income distributions from the Cash Fund are declared
daily and paid monthly from net interest income. Income distributions 
received by the fund are recorded as interest income in the
accompanying financial statements.
WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a
when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place a month or more
after the date of the transaction. The price of the underlying
securities is fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The
market values of the securities purchased on a when-issued or forward
commitment basis are identified as such in the fund's schedule of
investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in
the purchase of a when-issued security. With respect to purchase
commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its
custodial records with a value at least equal to the amount of the
commitment. The payables and receivables associated with the purchases
and sales of when-issued securities having the same settlement date
and broker are offset. When-issued securities that have been purchased
from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and
receivables in the statement of assets and liabilities under the
caption "Delayed delivery." Losses may arise due to changes in the
market value of the underlying securities, if the counterparty does
not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the
securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies
having 
2. OPERATING POLICIES - 
CONTINUED
INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM -
CONTINUED
management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending
program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing
the fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its
exposure to the stock market and to fluctuations in currency values.
Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying
instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's
exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments.
Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess
of the futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets
and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open
futures contracts at period end is shown in the schedule of
investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount
reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at
period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the
underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under
the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration
or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at
the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or
exchange on which they are traded.
8. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS. 
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $893,959,000 and $22,307,000, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the
period amounted to $982,149,000 and $1,004,916,000, respectively.
9. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. 
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR pays all
expenses, except the compensation of the non-interested Trustees and
certain exceptions such as interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and
extraordinary expenses. FMR receives a fee that is computed daily at
an annual rate of .45% of the fund's average net assets. 
At a Special Meeting of the Shareholders held on November 19, 1997,
shareholders approved an amended management contract (Amended
Contract) which allows for the appointment of Bankers Trust Company
(BTC) as the fund's sub-adviser. Under the Amended Contract, which
will become effective on December 1, 1997, FMR will continue to serve
as the fund's manager and investment adviser, but will delegate
day-to-day responsibility for managing the fund's investments to BTC.
BTC will also provide custodial and securities lending services to the
fund. For its services, BTC will receive a sub-advisory fee from FMR
equal to 0.006% of the fund's 
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
average net assets. BTC will also receive a fee from the fund equal to
40% of the net income from securities lending activities which is not
covered by FMR's voluntary expense limitation. FMR will be responsible
for overseeing BTC's performance and will retain its other management
services. FMR has agreed to reduce its management fee, which is no
longer an all-inclusive fee, to an annual rate of 0.24% of the fund's
average net assets. The fund will be responsible for paying all other
expenses unless they are borne by FMR under a voluntary expense limit.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $1,000 for the period.
10. INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM.
The fund participated in the interfund lending program as a lender.
The maximum loan and the average daily loan balances during the period
for which loans were outstanding amounted to 
$17,681,000 and $16,374,000, respectively. The weighted average
interest rate was 5.66%. Interest earned from the interfund lending
program amounted to $13,000 and is included in interest income on the
Statement of Operations.
11. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse operating expenses (excluding
interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses)
above an annual rate of  .19% of average net assets. For the period,
the reimbursement reduced expenses by $4,284,000.
In addition, FMR has entered into arrangements on behalf of the fund
with the fund's custodian and transfer agent whereby credits realized
as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion
of the fund's expenses. During the period, the fund's expenses were
reduced by $3,000 under these arrangements.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although financial turmoil in Pacific Basin countries was a catalyst
for significant volatility in U.S. markets in late October, the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index remained up more than 25% year-to-date,
twice its historical annual average. Meanwhile, bond markets -
primarily influenced by a relatively steady flow of positive news on
the inflation front - continued to post moderate returns through the
first 10 months of 1997.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation. 
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We are
available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide you the
information you need to make the investments that are right for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

GROWTH FUNDS AVERAGE              18.71%   27.28%   N/A       
 
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, or since
the fund started on June 22, 1995. For example, if you had invested
$1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of
your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to
the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a widely
recognized, unmanaged index of common stocks. To measure how the
fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to
the performance of the growth funds average, which reflects the
performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc. The past six months average represents a
peer group of 891 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales
charges.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a slightly different figure than
that obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and
annualizing the result.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND:  Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Large Cap Stock Fund on June 22, 1995, when the
fund started. As the chart shows, by October 31, 1997, the value of
the investment would have grown to $16,110 - a 61.10% increase on the
initial investment. For comparison, look at how the S&P 500 did over
the same period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000
investment would have grown to $17,441 - a 74.41% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is 
no guarantee of how it will do 
tomorrow. The stock market, 
for example, has a history of 
long-term growth and 
short-term volatility. In turn, the 
share price and return of a 
fund that invests in stocks will 
vary. That means if you sell 
your shares during a market 
downturn, you might lose 
money. But if you can ride out 
the market's ups and downs, 
you may have a gain.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
 
 
An interview with Thomas Sprague, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Large
Cap Stock Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, TOM?
A. For the six months that ended October 31, 1997, the fund was up
16.82%. The growth funds average, as tracked by Lipper Analytical
Services, returned 18.71% in that time, while the Standard & Poor's
500 Index returned 15.16%. For the 12 months that ended October 31,
1997, the fund returned 25.43%. The Lipper group and S&P 500 returned
27.28% and 32.11%, respectively.
Q. MARKET TIDES SEEMED TO SHIFT FREQUENTLY DURING THE PERIOD, WITH
LARGE-CAP STOCKS PERFORMING WELL IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE PERIOD AND
SMALLER STOCKS GAINING GROUND IN THE LATTER HALF. WHAT EFFECT DID
THESE SHIFTS HAVE ON THE FUND?
A. These dynamics had a significant impact. Through much of the first
part of the period, the stock market continued to be dominated by the
largest 25 or 30 stocks in the S&P 500. When the market is that
narrow, even funds like Large Cap have difficulty competing against
the S&P. During the second half of the period, though, this trend was
reversed. Several big companies announced earnings shortfalls and
smaller stocks began to outperform. This "broadening" helped the fund
versus the index, but not against its growth fund peers. Large Cap
delves into more of the larger stocks, while many of its competitors
in the peer group have a small- to mid-cap emphasis. 
Q. WERE THERE ANY OTHER FACTORS THAT AFFECTED PERFORMANCE?
A. Energy and retail stocks played a big role. Within the energy
group, companies that provide equipment and services to help
exploration companies search for oil and gas enjoyed a nice run.
Energy companies such as Exxon, Mobil and Texaco have increased their
exploration activity, and demand for drilling equipment and services
is very high. The fund's positions in Schlumberger, Halliburton and
Dresser benefited as a result. Within the retail sector - which
comprised approximately 7.5% of the fund at the end of the period -
several supermarket and pharmacy chains benefited from decent sales
trends and cost-cutting programs, most notably Safeway and Rite-Aid. 
Q. DID YOU LATCH ONTO ANY PARTICULAR THEMES DURING THE PERIOD?
A. One interesting area revolved around the much-discussed "year 2000"
issue. Most computer programs written in the last 20 or 30 years have
two entry fields for the year instead of four. For instance, computer
systems read "97" as being 1997. When the year 2000 arrives, computers
will read "00" as being 1900, which has the potential to cause myriad
problems. Some companies are ahead of the pack in preparing for this
problem, but many are underestimating its impact. The fund's position
in Comdisco - one of its top 10 holdings at the close of the period -
is a play on this. Part of Comdisco's business is disaster recovery:
If a company's computer network shuts down, Comdisco's reserve systems
can help get that company up and running again. These same reserve
computer systems are a logical choice as a testing ground for updated
year 2000 compliance software. Comdisco should benefit from this
additional demand in 1998 and 1999. Several other fund holdings -
including Accustaff and Analysts International - could also benefit.
Q. YOU'VE MENTIONED IN THE PAST THAT COMPANIES USING TECHNOLOGY
EFFECTIVELY CAN MAKE FOR GOOD INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES. CAN YOU GIVE
AN EXAMPLE?
A. For the past decade or so, American corporations have been in a
restructuring mode. Many have reworked their balance sheet, spun off
ineffective businesses and cut personnel in an effort to reduce costs.
While this has worked well, I think we may be nearing the end of this
trend. If I'm right, and pure cost-cutting programs are winding down,
the companies that are using technology to improve their business may
have an advantage. One such example during the period was Safeway,
which I mentioned earlier. Safeway and other supermarket chains have
been using information technology programs to determine, for example,
which products are selling well and which have the best profit
margins. This allows them to improve sales, costs and inventories.
Q. CAN YOU GRADE THE PERFORMANCE OF SOME OF THE FUND'S INDIVIDUAL
STOCKS?
A. Comdisco was a strong performer, as was health-care stock Bergen
Brunswig, which is in the process of being purchased by Cardinal
Health. On the negative side, not owning more of the expensive
pharmaceutical stocks, such as Lilly and Pfizer, hurt performance.
Additionally, the fund's position in Vencor - a supplier to the
nursing home industry - suffered from tightening industry regulations
and the fund no longer owns this stock.
Q. TOWARD THE END OF THE PERIOD, PROBLEMS IN ASIAN MARKETS
REVERBERATED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON THE SITUATION
AND HOW WAS THE FUND AFFECTED?
A. I think the crisis in Southeast Asia reflects a serious,
fundamental change that will affect financial markets everywhere. What
began as a currency event has evolved into an economic event. We've
already seen business slowdowns from U.S. companies that have exposure
to that region. Within the fund, semiconductor-related stocks were hit
the hardest. The typical high-tech company generates 10% to 20% of its
sales in Southeast Asia, and since that region's economic growth has
now been stunted, these companies may see sales growth suffer. Some of
the fund's holdings, however, may benefit from a cost point of view
more than they'll suffer from a sales point of view. For example,
positions such as Linear Technology and Adaptec - which have
manufacturing operations in Southeast Asia - could benefit from low
production and labor costs. Overall, though, I'd characterize the
market events of late October as being much more of a negative than a
positive.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I'm concerned that the comfortable economic situation we've had for
the past few years may be over. Third-quarter corporate earnings
tailed off somewhat, and the international volatility we've seen may
linger for awhile. Consumer nondurable stocks - particularly
food-related companies - may be an attractive area in the next few
months. These stocks frequently offer stable earnings growth in a
variety of economic climates.
THE VIEWS EXPRESSED IN THIS REPORT REFLECT THOSE OF THE PORTFOLIO
MANAGER ONLY THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD OF THE REPORT AS STATED ON
THE COVER. THE MANAGER'S VIEWS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME BASED
ON MARKET AND OTHER CONDITIONS.
 
TOM SPRAGUE TAKES A CLOSE 
LOOK AT THE TECHNOLOGY SECTOR:
"While some segments of the 
technology market hold promise, 
there are significant changes 
going on in the computing area. In 
the past, companies such as Intel 
would introduce new, faster 
systems each year. Consumers needed 
more power, faster maneuverability 
and more memory and were always 
willing to spend up for these 
enhanced features. But with a lack 
of new software programs,  this 
isn't the case anymore. PCs priced 
at $1,000 and under are meeting 
most needs, and this is a bad trend 
for the sector. That's because 
you've got to sell twice as many 
$1,000 PCs to keep up with past 
revenues. That's going to be very 
challenging.
"The year 2000 issue, which I 
mentioned earlier, is another 
factor. Corporate America is going 
to need to spend heavily to 
overcome this problem. 
Consequently, money that would 
otherwise have been used for 
important software and hardware 
upgrades will be diverted. Frankly, 
I'm concerned that we're in for an 
extended period of below-average 
sales growth in the computing 
area.
"Other segments, however, namely 
companies that specialize in 
communications technology could 
pick up the slack. Band width - 
which dictates the voice and data 
transfer rate for communications 
systems - is a hot topic. We can't 
talk to each other fast enough - 
be it over phone lines or the 
Internet - and this demand may 
translate into some good 
opportunities for some tech 
companies."

12. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Large Cap Stock Fund(the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Commonwealth Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management
investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles which permit management to make certain
estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The
following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are
readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale
price, at the closing bid price. Securities for which exchange
quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt
securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using
dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value as determined in
good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general
supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities with
remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are
not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost
plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Income
receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the
prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.
Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at
the contractual currency exchange rates established at the time of
each trade.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, and the
difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the
U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in
foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are
included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on
investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend

POLICIES - CONTINUED
INVESTMENT INCOME - CONTINUED
income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
between the funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund also
utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on
redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for
income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
13. OPERATING POLICIES.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission(the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above. 
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by FMR Texas, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The 
2. OPERATING POLICIES - 
CONTINUED
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND - 
CONTINUED
Cash Fund is an open-end money market fund available only to
investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its
affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital, liquidity,
and current income by investing in U.S. Treasury securities and
repurchase agreements for these securities. Income distributions from
the Cash Fund are declared daily and paid monthly from net interest
income. Income distributions received by the fund are recorded as
interest income in the accompanying financial statements.
14. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS. 
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $59,702,002 and $69,008,182, respectively. 
15. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. 
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate
plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net
assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a
series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all
the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2500% to
 .5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. In
the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in
effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates,
as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. The basic fee
is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of
(plus/minus).20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance
period) based on the fund's investment performance as compared to the
appropriate index over a specified period of time. The fund's
performance adjustment took effect in June, 1996. For the period, the
management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .44% of average
net assets after the performance adjustment. 
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annualized rate of .27% of average net assets.
ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee
is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus
out-of-pocket expenses. 
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $9,734 for the period.
16. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses
were reduced by $13,292 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian
and transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested
cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses.
During the period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were
reduced by $67 and $0, respectively, under these arrangements.
 
DISTRIBUTIONS
 
 
The Board of Trustees of Fidelity Large Cap Stock Fund voted to pay on
December 8, 1997, to shareholders of record at the opening of business
on December 5, 1997, a distribution of $.59 per share derived from
capital gains realized from sales of portfolio securities and a
dividend of $.03 per share from net investment income.

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although financial turmoil in Pacific Basin countries was a catalyst
for significant volatility in U.S. markets in late October, the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index remained up more than 25% year-to-date,
twice its historical annual average. Meanwhile, bond markets -
primarily influenced by a relatively steady flow of positive news on
the inflation front - continued to post moderate returns through the
first 10 months of 1997.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation. 
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, and that these types of funds are neither insured nor
guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We are
available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide you the
information you need to make the investments that are right for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since
the fund started on June 28, 1993. For example, if you had invested
$1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of
your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to
the performance of the Russell 2000 Index - an unmanaged index of
2,000 small capitalization stocks. To measure how the fund's
performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the
small cap funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual
funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services,
Inc. The past six months average represents a peer group of 511 mutual
funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital
gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a slightly different figure than
that obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and
annualizing the result.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND:  Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund on June 28, 1993, when the
fund started, and the current 3% sales charge was paid. As the chart
shows, by October 31, 1997, the value of the investment would have
grown to $18,377 - a 83.77% increase on the initial investment. For
comparison, look at how the Russell 2000 Index did over the same
period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same
$10,000 investment would have grown to $20,016 - a 100.16% increase.
 
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is 
no guarantee of how it will do 
tomorrow. The stock market, 
for example, has a history of 
long-term growth and short-term 
volatility. In turn, the share price 
and return of a fund that invests 
in stocks will vary. That means 
if you sell your shares during 
a market downturn, you might 
lose money. But if you can ride 
out the market's ups and downs, 
you may have a gain.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
 
 
An interview with Bradford Lewis, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Small
Cap Stock Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, BRAD?
A. For the six months that ended October 31, 1997, the fund returned
29.95%. The small cap funds average returned 31.21% during the same
period, according to Lipper Analytical Services. For the 12 months
that ended October 31, 1997, the fund returned 32.59%, while the small
cap funds average returned 26.45%.
Q. WHAT'S THE MARKET BEEN LIKE DURING THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. The stock market has taken investors on quite a roller coaster ride
over the past six months. The period started on an upturn, after the
market experienced a steep drop in March and April when concerns about
inflation arose. The market - ever concerned about inflation - rallied
through July, as economic indicators showed the economy cooled off a
bit in the second quarter. Large-capitalization stocks were the main
drivers of the upswing during the first half of the period, as they
had been for the past couple of years. From August through October,
though, momentum veered away from large-cap stocks as investors
started buying small-cap stocks that hadn't yet reached peak
valuations relative to their earnings growth. The market began losing
steam at the beginning of October after Federal Reserve Board Chairman
Alan Greenspan said that he felt economic growth was on an
"unsustainable track." On top of that, Southeast Asian economies began
a freefall after several countries in the region experienced currency
difficulties. On October 27, a steep drop in the Hong Kong market
triggered a 554-point drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average - the
biggest daily point drop in the Dow's history. The market rebounded
337 points the next day, reflecting the fact that the market felt the
U.S. economy was still strong despite the troubles in Southeast Asia.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND UNDERPERFORM ITS PEER GROUP DURING THE PERIOD?
A. The fund's assets increased to $827 million at the end of the
period from $450 million at the end of April - a jump of almost 85%.
Evidently, mutual fund investors were enamored with the market's shift
away from large-cap stocks. Such a large level of sales inevitably
results in an increase in cash due to a limited liquidity inherent in
small-cap stocks. In fact, at one point during the period, the fund
had almost 20% of its assets in cash. When equity markets are
performing so well, cash is a huge anchor on performance. To reduce
sales volatility, the fund will increase its redemption fee for
shareholders who owned the fund for less than 90 days to 1.50% from
0.75%, effective November 15. Fidelity mailed a letter to the fund's
shareholders informing them of the change. The money collected from
redemption fees does not go to Fidelity - it goes back into the fund.
The fees benefit long-term shareholders for the trading friction
caused by short-term traders.
Q. WHICH INDIVIDUAL HOLDINGS HELPED PERFORMANCE?
A. Ross Stores, which operates a chain of off-price stores in the
western U.S., appreciated considerably during the period. The company
has a good management team and reported strong sales and earnings
growth. UTI Energy, a provider of contract drilling services on the
U.S. Gulf Coast and Oklahoma, was another excellent holding. A
shortage of industry rigs accounted for higher daily lease rates over
the past six months. Accordingly, UTI Energy's sales and earnings grew
substantially. The stock was up more than 404% over the six months
that ended October 31, 1997. 
Q. WHICH HOLDINGS HURT PERFORMANCE?
A. Zeigler Coal detracted from performance. The company seemed to be
improving its business prospects, so I thought I was buying the stock
on the bottom - at the beginning of an upswing. Unfortunately, the
company's earnings did not improve and the stock continued to fall
during the period. Photronics was another weak spot in the portfolio.
In this case, it wasn't a question of earnings potential. The company
was just dragged down with all of the other technology stocks during
the last three weeks of the period.
Q. WE UNDERSTAND THERE WILL BE CHANGES MADE TO THE FUND'S NAME AND
INVESTMENT POLICIES NEXT YEAR . . .
A. Yes, that's right. Effective January 2, 1998, the fund will be
renamed Fidelity Small Cap Selector. The new name reflects the
quantitative stock-picking methods used by the fund. Also starting on
that date, the fund will adopt a policy of normally investing at least
65% of its assets in companies with capitalizations similar to those
in the Russell 2000 Index at the time of the fund's investment. The
Russell 2000 is the most widely accepted measure of the performance of
small-cap stocks and is used as the fund's benchmark. The fund's
current investment policy - to normally invest at least 65% of its
total assets in equity securities of companies with market
capitalizations of $1 billion or less at the time of the fund's
investment - is based on a static dollar amount that does not change
with the market. In fact, in an effort to reflect the small-cap
market, effective January 1, 1996, the $1 billion level increased from
$750 million. Since this change in investment policy, the rise in
market prices has caused the capitalization range of the Russell 2000
to increase significantly. By using a capitalization target that
refers to the general size of companies that make up the index instead
of a specific dollar amount, it will be easier for me to make sure
that the fund's investment universe keeps pace with the market in
which it invests and with its benchmark index. 
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I expect volatility in the markets to continue for a while. I don't
think we've seen the last of the ripple effects from the currency
problems in Southeast Asia. In addition, I think the U.S. economy will
slow down to a point where we'll see the stock market generating a
compounded annual return of 9% to 10%. Investors have been somewhat
spoiled with the 25% to 30% compounded annual returns that we've seen
in the past three or four years. I think it's unlikely that those
considerable gains will continue in the next six months. 
THE VIEWS EXPRESSED IN THIS REPORT REFLECT THOSE OF THE PORTFOLIO
MANAGER ONLY THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD OF THE REPORT AS STATED ON
THE COVER. THE MANAGER'S VIEWS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME BASED
ON MARKET AND OTHER CONDITIONS.
 
BRAD LEWIS ON THE REPEAL OF 
THE "SHORT THREE TEST" TAX 
CODE:
"The 1997 tax law repealed the 
mutual fund industry's `short three 
test' for capital gains. This rule 
mandated that no more than 30% 
of a mutual fund's annual capital 
gains could result from positions 
held for less than 90 days. I think 
the law was well intentioned, 
considering that trading costs 
were substantially higher when the 
law was first passed than they are 
now. Indeed, short-term trading 
would have benefited brokers and 
market makers most when the rule 
was first instituted. However, 
times have changed. A sizeable 
portion of current trades are 
electronic, and a typical trade is 
executed at less than a nickel a 
share.
"The `short three test' historically 
has had a slight negative impact 
on the fund's performance. From 
time to time, we were fortunate 
enough to buy a stock whose return 
exceeded expectations within a 
few weeks of its purchase. The 
`short three test' normally 
prevented us from taking profits 
and using the proceeds to invest 
in other stocks with better 
risk/reward characteristics.
"Will the repeal of the `short three 
test' substantially impact how I 
manage the fund? No, it will not. 
However, I recently have given a 
little more weight to my 
shorter-time-horizon models. 
These models empirically have 
delivered more consistent 
performance than our longer-term 
models."

17. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Commonwealth Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management
investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles which permit management to make certain
estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The
following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are
readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale
price, at the closing bid price. Securities for which exchange
quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt
securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using
dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value as determined in
good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general
supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities with
remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are
not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost
plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Income
receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the
prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.
Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at
the contractual currency exchange rates established at the time of
each trade.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, and the
difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the
U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in
foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are
included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on
investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INVESTMENT INCOME - CONTINUED
the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is
accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes
withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between
the funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for litigation proceeds, futures transactions, foreign
currency transactions, and losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund
also utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on
redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for
income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
REDEMPTION FEES. Shares held in the fund less than 90 days are subject
to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the proceeds of the redeemed
shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an
addition to paid in capital. Effective November 15, 1997, the fee was
increased to 1.50%.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
18. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade. The cost of the foreign currency contracts is
included in the cost basis of the associated investment.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission(the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are

invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or
Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above. 
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by FMR Texas, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The Cash
Fund is an open-end money market fund available only to investment
companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The
Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income
by investing in U.S. Treasury securities and repurchase agreements for
these securities. Income distributions from the Cash Fund are declared
daily and paid monthly from net interest income. Income distributions
received by the fund are recorded as interest income in the
accompanying financial statements.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its
exposure to the stock market and to fluctuations in currency values.
Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying
instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's
exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments.
Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying
instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the
contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or
closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the
settlement price established each day by the board of trade or
exchange on which they are traded.
19. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS. 
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $491,084,337 and $247,026,833, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the
period amounted to $59,772,535 and $60,854,815, respectively.
20. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. 
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate
plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net
assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a
series of rates and is based on the monthly average net

MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from
 .2500% to .5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate
is .35%. In the event that these rates were lower than the contractual
rates in effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the
above rates, as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee.
The basic fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum
of (plus/minus).20% of the fund's average net assets over the
performance period) based on the fund's investment performance as
compared to the appropriate index over a specified period of time. For
the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of
 .60% of average net assets after the performance adjustment. 
SALES LOAD. For the period, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC),
an affiliate of FMR and the general distributor of the fund, received
sales charges of $609,538 on sales of shares of the fund.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annualized rate of .28% of average net assets.
ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee
is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus
out-of-pocket expenses. 
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $104,045 for the
period.
21. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses
were reduced by $153,075 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian
and transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested
cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses.
During the period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were
reduced by $4,456 and $12,084, respectively, under these arrangements.
DISTRIBUTIONS
 
 
The Board of Trustees of Fidelity Small Cap Stock Fund voted to pay on
December 8, 1997, to shareholders of record at the opening of business
on December 5, 1997, a distribution of $.89 per share derived from
capital gains realized from sales of portfolio securities and a
dividend of $.08 per share from net investment income.
