individuals through a broad line of investments including more than 100 mutual
funds.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                               RISK/RETURN SUMMARY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The following is a summary of certain key information about the Fund. You
will find additional information about the Fund, including a detailed
description of the risks of an investment in the Fund, after this summary.

      Objectives: The investment objectives of the Fund are--in the following
order of priority--safety of principal, excellent liquidity, and maximum current
income to the extent consistent with the first two objectives.

      Principal Investment Strategy: The Fund is a "money market fund" that
seeks to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. The Fund pursues
its objectives by investing in a portfolio of high-quality, U.S.
dollar-denominated money market securities.

      Principal Risks: The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:

      o Interest Rate Risk. This is the risk that changes in interest rates will
adversely affect the yield or value of the Fund's investments in debt
securities.

      o Credit Risk. This is the risk that the issuer or guarantor of a debt
security will be unable or unwilling to make timely interest or principal
payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations. The degree of risk for a
particular security may be reflected in its credit rating. Credit risk includes
the possibility that any of the Fund's investments will have its credit ratings
downgraded.

      Another important thing for you to note:

      An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government
agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at
$1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

PERFORMANCE AND BAR CHART INFORMATION

      The performance table shows the Fund's average annual total returns and
the bar chart shows the Fund's annual total returns. The table and the bar chart
provide an indication of the historical risk of an investment in the Fund by
showing:

      o the Fund's average annual total returns for one, five and 10 years; and

      o changes in the Fund's performance from year to year over 10 years.

      The Fund's past performance does not necessarily indicate how it will
perform in the future.

      You may obtain current seven-day yield information for the Fund by calling
(800) 221-9513 or your financial intermediary.

      OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND'S OBJECTIVES, STRATEGIES, AND RISKS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      This section of the Prospectus provides a more complete description of the
investment objectives and principal strategies and risks of the Fund.

      Please note:

      o Additional descriptions of the Fund's strategies and investments, as
well as other strategies and investments not described below, may be found in
the Fund's Statement of Additional Information or SAI.

      o There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment
objectives.

Investment Objectives and Strategies

      As a money market fund, the Fund must meet the requirements of Securities
and Exchange Commission Rule 2a-7. The Rule imposes strict requirements on the
investment quality, maturity and diversification of the Fund's investments.
Under that Rule, the Fund's investments must each have a remaining maturity of
no more than 397 days and the Fund must maintain an average weighted maturity
that does not exceed 90 days.

      The Fund's investments may include:

      o marketable obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its
agencies, or instrumentalities;

      o certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, and interest-bearing
savings deposits that are issued or guaranteed by (i) banks or savings and loan
associations that are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and
have total assets of more than $1 billion, or (ii) foreign branches of U.S.
banks and U.S. branches of foreign banks that have total assets of more than $1
billion;

      o high-quality commercial paper (or, if not rated, determined by Alliance
to be of comparable quality) issued by U.S. or foreign companies and
participation interests in loans made to companies that issue such commercial
paper;

      o adjustable rate obligations;

      o asset-backed securities;

      o restricted securities (i.e., securities subject to legal or contractual
restrictions on resale); and

      o repurchase agreements that are fully collateralized.

      The Fund does not invest more than 25% of its assets in securities of
issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry. This
limitation does not apply to investments in securities issued or guaranteed by
the U.S. Government, its agencies, or instrumentalities, or to bank obligations,
including certificates of deposit, bankers'acceptances, and interest bearing
savings deposits, issued by U.S. banks (including their foreign branches)
and U.S.


                                       3
<PAGE>

branches of foreign banks subject to the same regulation as U.S. banks. For the
purposes of this investment policy, neither all financial companies as a group
nor all utility companies as a group are considered a single industry.

Risk Considerations

      The Fund's principal risks are interest rate risk and credit risk. Because
the Fund invests in short-term securities, a decline in interest rates will
affect the Fund's yields as these securities mature or are sold and the Fund
purchases new short-term securities with lower yields. Generally, an increase in
interest rates causes the value of a debt instrument to decrease. The change in
value for shorter-term securities is usually smaller than for securities with
longer maturities. Because the Fund invests in securities with short maturities
and seeks to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, it is
possible, though unlikely, that an increase in interest rates would change the
value of your investment.

      Credit risk is the possibility that a security's credit rating will be
downgraded or that the issuer of the security will default (fail to make
scheduled interest and principal payments). The Fund invests in highly-rated
securities to minimize credit risk.

      The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities,
including illiquid restricted securities. Investments in illiquid securities may
be subject to liquidity risk, which is the risk that, under certain
circumstances, particular investments may be difficult to sell at an
advantageous price. Illiquid restricted securities also are subject to the risk
that the Fund may be unable to sell the security due to legal or contractual
restrictions on resale.

      The Fund's investments in U.S. dollar-denominated obligations (or credit
and liquidity enhancements) of foreign branches of U.S. banks, U.S. branches of
foreign banks, and commercial paper of foreign companies may be subject to
foreign risk. Foreign securities issuers are usually not subject to the same
degree of regula tion as U.S. issuers. Reporting, accounting, and auditing
standards of foreign countries differ, in some cases, significantly from U.S.
standards. Foreign risk includes nationalization, expropriation, or confiscatory
taxation, political changes or diplomatic developments that could adversely
affect a Fund's investments.

      The Fund also is subject to management risk because it is an actively
managed portfolio. Alliance will apply its investment techniques and risk
analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there is no guarantee
that its techniques will produce the intended result.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                             MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The Fund's investment adviser is Alliance Capital Management L.P., 1345
Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10105. Alliance is a leading
international investment adviser managing client accounts with assets as of June
30, 2000 totaling more than $388 billion (of which more than $185 billion
represented assets of investment companies). As of June 30, 2000, Alliance
managed retirement assets for many of the largest public and private employee
benefit plans (including 29 of the nation's FORTUNE 100 companies), for public
employee retirement funds in 33 states, for investment companies, and for
foundations, endowments, banks and insurance companies worldwide. The 52
registered investment companies managed by Alliance, comprising 122 separate
investment portfolios, currently have more than 6.1 million shareholder
accounts.

      Alliance provides investment advisory services and order placement
facilities for the Fund. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, the Fund paid
Alliance .46% as a percentage of average daily net assets.

      Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, unless changed by a vote of the Fund's
shareholders, the Adviser will reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund's
aggregate operating expenses exceed 1% of its average daily net assets for any
fiscal year.

      Alliance makes significant payments from its own resources, which include
the management fees paid by the Fund, to compensate your broker-dealer,
depository institutions, or other persons for providing distribution assistance
and administrative services and to otherwise promote the sale of Fund shares,
including paying for the preparation, printing, and distribution of prospectuses
and sales literature or other promotional activities.

                           PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How The Fund Values Its Shares

      The Fund's net asset value, or NAV, which is the price at which shares of
the Fund are sold and redeemed, is expected to be constant at $1.00 per share,
although this price is not guaranteed. The NAV is calculated at 12:00 Noon and
4:00 p.m., Eastern time, on each Fund business day (i.e., each weekday exclusive
of days the New York Stock Exchange or the banks in Massachusetts are closed).

      To calculate NAV, the Fund's assets are valued and totaled, liabilities
subtracted, and the balance, called net assets, is divided by the number of
shares outstanding. The Fund values its securities at their amortized cost. This
method involves valuing an instrument at its cost and thereafter applying a
constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the
impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the investment.

How To Buy Shares

      o Initial Investment

      You may purchase the Fund's shares by instructing your Account Executive
to invest in the Fund in connection with your brokerage account.

      You also may purchase the Fund's shares directly from Alliance Fund
Services, Inc., or AFS. To obtain an Application Form, please telephone AFS
toll-free at (800) 237-5822. In addition, you may obtain information about the
Application Form, purchasing shares, or other Fund procedures by calling this
number.

      Minimum Investment Amounts

      o Initial                      $1,000
      o Subsequent                     $100
      o Minimum Maintenance Amount     $500

      These minimums do not apply to shareholder ac counts maintained through
financial intermediaries, which may maintain their own minimums.

      o Subsequent Investments

      By Check:

      Mail or deliver your check or negotiable draft made payable to your
brokerage firm to your Account Executive, who will deposit it into the Fund.
Please indicate your brokerage account number.

      By Sweep:

      Your brokerage firm may offer an automatic "sweep" for the Fund in the
operation of brokerage cash accounts for its customers. Contact your Account
Executive to determine if a sweep is available and what the sweep requirements
are.

How To Sell Shares

      You may "redeem" your shares (i.e., sell your shares) on any Fund business
day by contacting your Account Executive. If you do not maintain your shares
through a financial intermediary and recently purchased shares by check or
electronic funds transfer, you cannot redeem your investment until the Fund is
reasonably satisfied the check or electronic funds transfer has cleared (which
may take up to 15 days).

      You also may redeem your shares:

      o By Sweep:

      If your brokerage firm offers an automatic sweep arrangement, the sweep
will automatically transfer from your Fund account sufficient amounts to cover a
debit balance that occurs in your brokerage account for any reason.

      o By Checkwriting:

      With this service, you may write checks made payable to any payee. First,
you must fill out a signature card, which you may obtain from your Account
Executive. There is a charge for check reorders. The checkwriting service
enables you to receive the daily dividends declared on the shares to be redeemed
until the day that your check is presented for payment. You cannot write checks
for more than the principal balance (not including any accrued dividends) in
your account.

Other

      The Fund has two transaction times each Fund business day, 12:00 Noon and
4:00 p.m., Eastern time. Investments receive the full dividend for a day if
Federal funds or bank wire monies are received by State Street Bank before 4:00
p.m., Eastern time, on that day.


                                       5
<PAGE>

      Redemption proceeds are normally wired the same business day if a
redemption request is received prior to 12:00 p.m., Eastern time. Redemption
proceeds are wired or mailed the same day or the next business day, but in no
event later than seven days, unless redemptions have been suspended or postponed
due to the determination of an "emergency" by the Securities and Exchange
Commission or to certain other unusual conditions. Shares do not earn dividends
on the day a redemption is effected.

      The Fund offers a variety of shareholder services. For more information
about these services, telephone AFS at (800) 221-5672.

      A transaction, service, administrative or other similar fee may be charged
by your financial broker-dealer, agent, financial representative or other
financial intermediary with respect to the purchase, sale or exchange of shares
made through these financial intermediaries. These financial intermediaries may
also impose requirements with respect to the purchase, sale or exchange of
shares that are different from, or in addition to, those imposed by the Fund.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                       DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS, AND TAXES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The Fund's net income is calculated at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, each
business day and paid as dividends to shareholders. The dividends are
automatically invested in additional shares in your account. These additional
shares are entitled to dividends on following days resulting in compounding
growth of income. The Fund expects that its distributions will primarily consist
of net income, or, if any, short-term capital gains as opposed to long-term
capital gains. For Federal income tax purposes, the Fund's dividend
distributions of net income (or short-term capital gains) will be taxable to you
as ordinary income. Any long-term capital gains distributions may be taxable to
you as long-term capital gains. The Fund's distributions also may be subject to
certain state and local taxes.

      Each year shortly after December 31, the Fund will send you tax
information stating the amount and type of all of its distributions for the
year.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                            DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The Fund has adopted a plan under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule
12b-1 that allows it to pay asset-based sales charges or distribution and
service fees in connection with the distribution of its shares. The amount of
these fees is .25% as a percentage of aggregate average daily net assets.
Because these fees are paid out of the Fund's assets on an on-going basis, over
time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more
than paying other types of sales fees.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                               GENERAL INFORMATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      During drastic economic or market developments, you might have difficulty
in reaching AFS by telephone, in which event you should issue written
instructions to AFS. AFS is not responsible for the authenticity of telephone
requests to purchase or sell shares. AFS will employ reasonable procedures to
verify that telephone requests are genuine and could be liable for losses
resulting from unauthorized transactions if it failed to do so. Dealers and
agents may charge a commission for handling telephone requests. The telephone
service may be suspended or terminated at any time without notice.

                            THE FUND
_______________________________________________________________

         Alliance Capital Reserves (the "Fund") is one of two
portfolios of Alliance Capital Reserves (the "Trust"), a
diversified, open-end investment company.  The Trust was
reorganized as a Massachusetts business trust in October 1984,
having previously been a Maryland corporation since formation in
April 1978.  The other portfolio, Alliance Money Reserves, is
described in a separate Prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information, which may be obtained from Alliance Fund Services,
Inc., P.O. Box 1520, Secaucus, New Jersey 07096-1520, toll free
(800) 221-5672.

_______________________________________________________________

               INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
_______________________________________________________________

         The Fund's objectives are - in the following order of
priority - safety of principal, excellent liquidity, and maximum
current income to the extent consistent with the first two
objectives.  As a matter of fundamental policy, the Fund pursues
its objectives by maintaining a portfolio of high-quality money
market securities all of which, at the time of investment, have
remaining maturities not exceeding one year or less (which
maturities pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), may extend to 397 days, or such
greater length of time as may be permitted from time to time
pursuant to Rule 2a-7).  Accordingly, the Fund's investments may
include the following diversified by maturities and issuers:

         1.   Marketable obligations of, or guaranteed by, the
United States Government, its agencies or instrumentalities.
These include issues of the U.S. Treasury, such as bills,
certificates of indebtedness, notes and bonds, and issues of
agencies and instrumentalities established under the authority of
an act of Congress.  The latter issues include, but are not
limited to, obligations of the Bank for Cooperatives, Federal
Financing Bank, Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Intermediate
Credit Banks, Federal Land Banks, Federal National Mortgage
Association and Tennessee Valley Authority.  Some of the
securities are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
Treasury, others are supported by the right of the issuer to
borrow from the Treasury, and still others are supported only by
the credit of the agency or instrumentality.

         2.   Certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances and
interest-bearing savings deposits issued or guaranteed by banks


                                2



<PAGE>

or savings and loan associations having total assets of more than
$1 billion and which are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation or denominated in U.S. dollars and issued by U.S.
branches of foreign banks and foreign branches of U.S. banks, in
each case having total assets of at least $1 billion that are
believed by Alliance Capital Management L.P. (the "Adviser" or
"Alliance") to be of quality equivalent to that of other such
instruments in which the Fund may invest.  Certificates of
deposit are receipts issued by a depository institution in
exchange for the deposit of funds.  The issuer agrees to pay the
amount deposited plus interest to the bearer of the receipt on
the date specified on the certificate.  Such certificates may
include, for example, those issued by foreign subsidiaries of
such banks which are guaranteed by them.  The certificate usually
can be traded in the secondary market prior to maturity.
Bankers' acceptances typically arise from short-term credit
arrangements designed to enable businesses to obtain funds to
finance commercial transactions.  Generally, an acceptance is a
time draft drawn on a bank by an exporter or an importer to
obtain a stated amount of funds to pay for specific merchandise.
The draft is then "accepted" by a bank that, in effect,
unconditionally guarantees to pay the face value of the
instrument on its maturity date.  The acceptance may then be held
by the accepting bank as an earning asset or it may be sold in
the secondary market at the going rate of discount for a specific
maturity.  Although maturities for acceptances can be as long as
270 days, most acceptances have maturities of six months or less.

         3.   Commercial paper, including variable amount master
demand notes and funding agreements, of prime quality i.e. rated
A-1+ or A-1 by Standard & Poor's Corporation ("Standard &
Poor's") or Prime-1 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
("Moody's") or, if not rated, issued by domestic and foreign
companies which have an outstanding debt issue rated AAA or AA by
Standard & Poor's, or Aaa or Aa by Moody's.  For a description of
such ratings see the Appendix.  Commercial paper consists of
short-term (usually from 1 to 270 days) unsecured promissory
notes issued by corporations in order to finance their current
operations.  A variable amount master demand note represents a
direct borrowing arrangement involving periodically fluctuating
rates of interest under a letter agreement between a commercial
paper issuer and an institutional lender pursuant to which the
lender may determine to invest varying amounts.  For a further
description of variable amount master demand notes, see Floating
and Variable Rate Obligations below. To the extent that the Fund
invests in such instruments, including commercial paper issued by
foreign companies meeting the rating criteria specified above,
consideration is given to their domestic marketability, the lower
reserve requirements generally mandated for overseas banking
operations, the possible impact of interruptions in the flow of
international currency transactions, potential political and


                                3



<PAGE>

social instability or expropriation, imposition of foreign taxes,
less government supervision of issuers, difficulty in enforcing
contractual obligations and lack of uniform accounting standards.

         4.   Repurchase agreements pertaining to the above
securities.  A repurchase agreement arises when a buyer purchases
a security and simultaneously agrees to resell it to the
counterparty at an agreed-upon future date.  The resale price is
greater than the purchase price, reflecting an agreed-upon market
rate which is effective for the period of time the buyer's money
is invested in the security and which is not related to the
coupon rate on the purchased security.  Repurchase agreements are
currently entered into with counterparties deemed to be
creditworthy by the Adviser, including broker-dealers, member
banks of the Federal Reserve System or "primary dealers" (as
designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S.
Government securities or with State Street Bank and Trust Company
("State Street Bank"), the Fund's Custodian.  For each repurchase
agreement, the Fund requires continual maintenance of the market
value of underlying collateral in amounts equal to, or in excess
of, the agreement amount.  While the maturities of the underlying
collateral may exceed 397 days, the term of the repurchase
agreement is always less than 397 days.  In the event that a
counterparty defaulted on its repurchase obligation, the Fund
might suffer a loss to the extent that the proceeds from the sale
of the collateral were less than the repurchase price.  If the
counterparty became bankrupt, the Fund might be delayed in
selling the collateral.  Repurchase agreements often are for
short periods such as one day or a week, but may be longer.
Repurchase agreements not terminable within seven days will be
limited to no more than 10% of the Fund's assets.*  Pursuant to
Rule 2a-7, a repurchase agreement is deemed to be an acquisition
of the underlying securities provided that the obligation of the
seller to repurchase the securities from the money market fund is
collateralized fully (as defined in such Rule).  Accordingly, the
counterparty of a fully collateralized repurchase agreement is
deemed to be the issuer of the underlying securities.

         Floating and Variable Rate Obligations.  The Fund may
purchase floating and variable rate obligations, including
floating and variable rate demand notes and bonds.  The Fund may
invest in variable and floating rate obligations whose interest
rates are adjusted either at predesignated periodic intervals or
whenever there is a change in the market rate to which the
security's interest rate is tied.  The Fund may also purchase
floating and variable rate demand notes and bonds, which are
____________________

*             As used throughout the Prospectus and Statement of
              Additional Information, the term assets shall refer
              to the Funds total assets.


                                4



<PAGE>

obligations ordinarily having stated maturities in excess of 397
days, but which permit the holder to demand payment of principal
at any time, or at specified intervals not exceeding 397 days, in
each case upon not more than 30 days notice.

         The Fund also invests in variable amount master demand
notes (which may have put features in excess of 30 days) which
are obligations that permit the Fund to invest fluctuating
amounts, at varying rates of interest, pursuant to direct
arrangements between the Fund, as lender, and the borrower.
Because these obligations are direct lending arrangements between
the lender and the borrower, it is not contemplated that such
instruments generally will be traded, and there generally is no
established secondary market for these obligations, although they
are redeemable at face value, plus accrued interest.
Accordingly, when these obligations are not secured by letters of
credit or other credit support arrangements, the Fund's right to
redeem is dependent on the ability of the borrower to pay
principal and interest on demand.

         Reverse Repurchase Agreements.  While the Fund has not
previously and has no future plans to do so, it may enter into
reverse repurchase agreements, which involve the sale of money
market securities held by the Fund with an agreement to
repurchase the securities at an agreed-upon price, date and
interest payment.

         Asset-backed Securities.  The Fund may invest in asset-
backed securities that meet its existing diversification, quality
and maturity criteria. These securities must generally be rated.
Asset-backed securities are securities issued by special purpose
entities whose primary assets consist of a pool of loans or
accounts receivable.  The securities may be in the form of a
beneficial interest in a special purpose trust, limited
partnership interest, or commercial paper or other debt
securities issued by a special purpose corporation.  Although the
securities may have some form of credit or liquidity enhancement
payments on the securities depend predominately upon collection
of the loans and receivables held by the issuer.  Generally, the
special purpose entity is deemed to be the issuer of the asset-
backed security.  However, the Fund is required to treat any
person whose obligations constitute ten percent or more of the
assets of the asset-backed security as the issuer of the portion
of the asset-backed security such obligations represent.

         Illiquid Securities.  The Fund may also invest up to 10%
of the value of its net assets in securities as to which a liquid
trading market does not exist.  Such securities may include
securities that are not readily marketable, such as certain
securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions
on resale (other than those restricted securities determined to


                                5



<PAGE>

be liquid as described below) and repurchase agreements not
terminable within seven days.  As to illiquid securities, the
Fund is subject to a risk that should the Fund desire to sell
them when a ready buyer is not available at a price the Fund
deems representative of their value, the value of the Funds net
assets could be adversely affected.

         Liquid Restricted Securities.  The Fund may also
purchase restricted securities that are determined by the Adviser
to be liquid in accordance with procedures adopted by the
Trustees. Restricted securities are securities subject to
contractual or legal restrictions on resale, such as those
arising from an issuer's reliance upon certain exemptions from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities
Act").

         In recent years, a large institutional market has
developed for certain types of restricted securities including,
among others, private placements, repurchase agreements,
commercial paper, foreign securities and corporate bonds and
notes.  These instruments are often restricted securities because
they are sold in transactions not requiring registration.  For
example, commercial paper issues in which the Fund may invest
include, among others, securities issued by major corporations
without registration under the Securities Act in reliance on the
exemption from registration afforded by Section 3(a)(3) of such
Act and commercial paper issued in reliance on the private
placement exemption from registration which is afforded by
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act ("Section 4(2) paper").
Section 4(2) paper is restricted as to disposition under the
Federal securities laws in that any resale must also be made in
an exempt transaction.  Section 4(2) paper is normally resold to
other institutional investors through or with the assistance of
investment dealers who make a market in Section 4(2) paper, thus
providing liquidity.  Institutional investors, rather than
selling these instruments to the general public, often depend on
an efficient institutional market in which such restricted
securities can be readily resold in transactions not involving a
public offering.  In many instances, therefore, the existence of
contractual or legal restrictions on resale to the general public
does not, in practice, impair the liquidity of such investments
from the perspective of institutional holders.  In recognition of
this fact, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") has stated that Section 4(2) paper may be
determined to be liquid by the Fund's Trustees, so long as
certain conditions, which are described below, are met.

         In 1990, in part to enhance the liquidity in the
institutional markets for restricted securities, the Commission
adopted Rule 144A under the Securities Act to establish a safe
harbor from the Securities Act's registration requirements for


                                6



<PAGE>

resale of certain restricted securities to qualified
institutional buyers. Section 4(2) paper that is issued by a
company that files reports under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 is generally eligible to be resold in reliance on the safe
harbor of Rule 144A. Pursuant to Rule 144A, the institutional
restricted securities markets may provide both readily
ascertainable values for restricted securities and the ability to
liquidate an investment in order to satisfy share redemption
orders on a timely basis. An insufficient number of qualified
institutional buyers interested in purchasing certain restricted
securities held by the Fund, however, could affect adversely the
marketability of such portfolio securities and the Fund might be
unable to dispose of such securities promptly or at reasonable
prices.  Rule 144A has already produced enhanced liquidity for
many restricted securities, and market liquidity for such
securities may continue to expand as a result of Rule 144A and
the consequent inception of the PORTAL System sponsored by the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., an automated
system for the trading, clearance and settlement of unregistered
securities.

         The Fund's Trustees have the ultimate responsibility for
determining whether specific securities are liquid or illiquid.
The Trustees have delegated the function of making day-to-day
determinations of liquidity to the Adviser, pursuant to
guidelines approved by the Trustees.  The Adviser takes into
account a number of factors in determining whether a restricted
security being considered for purchase is liquid, including at
least the following:

         (i)   the frequency of trades and quotations for the
         security;

         (ii)  the number of dealers making quotations to
         purchase or sell the security;

         (iii) the number of other potential purchasers of the
         security;

         (iv)  the number of dealers undertaking to make a market
         in the security;

         (v)   the nature of the security (including its
         unregistered nature) and the nature of the marketplace
         for the security (e.g., the time needed to dispose of
         the security, the method of soliciting offers and the
         mechanics of transfer); and

         (vi)  any applicable Commission interpretation or
         position with respect to such types of securities.



                                7



<PAGE>

         To make the determination that an issue of Section 4(2)
paper is liquid, the Adviser must conclude that the following
conditions have been met:

         (i)   the Section 4(2) paper must not be traded flat or
         in default as to principal or interest; and

         (ii)  the Section 4(2) paper must be rated in one of the
         two highest rating categories by at least two NRSROs, or
         if only one NRSRO rates the security, by that NRSRO; if
         the security is unrated, the Adviser must determine that
         the security is of equivalent quality.

         The Adviser must also consider the trading market for
the specific security, taking into account all relevant factors.

         Following the purchase of a restricted security by the
Fund, the Adviser monitors continuously the liquidity of such
security and reports to the Trustees regarding purchases of
liquid restricted securities.

         Senior Securities.  The Fund will not issue senior
securities except as permitted by the Act or the rules,
regulations, or interpretations thereof.

         General.  While there are many kinds of short-term
securities used by money market investors, the Fund, in keeping
with its primary investment objective of safety of principal,
generally restricts its portfolio to the types of investments
summarized above. As even the safest of securities involve some
risk, there can be no assurance, as is true with all investment
companies, that the Fund's objectives will be achieved.  The
market value of the Fund's investments tends to decrease during
periods of rising interest rates and to increase during intervals
of falling rates.

         Net income to shareholders is aided both by the Fund's
ability to make investments in large denominations and by its
efficiencies of scale.  Also, the Fund may seek to improve
portfolio income by selling certain portfolio securities prior to
maturity in order to take advantage of yield disparities that
occur in money markets.  The Fund's investment objectives may not
be changed without the affirmative vote of a majority of the
Fund's outstanding shares as defined below.

         Except as otherwise provided, the Fund's investment
policies are not designated "fundamental policies" within the
meaning of the Act and may, therefore, be changed by the Trustees
of the Trust without a shareholder vote.  However, the Fund will
not change its investment policies without contemporaneous
written notice to shareholders.


                                8



<PAGE>

         Rule 2a-7 under the Act.  The Fund will comply with Rule
2a-7 under the Act, as amended from time to time, including the
diversification, quality and maturity limitations imposed by the
Rule.  To the extent that the Fund's limitations are more
permissive than Rule 2a-7, the Fund will comply with the more
restrictive provisions of the Rule.


         Currently, pursuant to Rule 2a-7, the Fund may invest
only in U.S. dollar-denominated "Eligible Securities" (as that
term is defined in the Rule) that have been determined by the
Adviser to present minimal credit risks pursuant to procedures
approved by the Trustees.  Generally, an Eligible Security is a
security that (i) has a remaining maturity of 397 days or less
and (ii) is rated, or is issued by an issuer with short-term debt
outstanding that is rated, in one of the two highest rating
categories by two nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations ("NRSROS") or, if only one NRSRO has issued a
rating, by that NRSRO (the "requisite NRSROs").  An unrated
security may also be an Eligible Security if the Adviser
determines that it is of comparable quality to a rated Eligible
Security pursuant to guidelines approved by the Trustees.  A
description of the ratings of some NRSROs appears in Appendix A
attached hereto.  Securities in which the Fund invests may be
subject to liquidity or credit enhancements.  These securities
are generally considered to be Eligible Securities if the
enhancement or the issuer of the enhancement has received the
appropriate rating from the requisite NRSROs.

         Under Rule 2a-7 the Fund may not invest more than five
percent of its assets in the first tier securities of any one
issuer other than the United States Government, its agencies and
instrumentalities. A first tier security is an Eligible Security
that has received a short-term rating from the requisite NRSROs
in the highest short-term rating category for debt obligations,
or is an unrated security deemed to be of comparable quality.
Government securities are also considered to be first tier
securities.  In addition, the Fund may not invest in a security
that has received, or is deemed comparable in quality to a
security that has received, the second highest rating by the
requisite number of NRSROs (a "second tier security") if
immediately after the acquisition thereof the Fund would have
invested more than (A) the greater of one percent of its total
assets or one million dollars in securities issued by that issuer
which are second tier securities, or (B) five percent of its
total assets in second tier securities.

                     INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
_______________________________________________________________

         The following restrictions may not be changed without
the affirmative vote of a majority of the Fund's outstanding
shares, which means the vote of (1) 67% or more of the shares
represented at a meeting at which more than 50% of the
outstanding shares are represented or (2) more than 50% of the
outstanding shares, whichever is less.  If a percentage
restriction is adhered to at the time of an investment, a later
increase or decrease in percentage resulting from a change in
value of portfolio securities or in amount of the Funds assets
will not constitute a violation of that restriction.

         The Fund:

         1.   May not purchase any security which has a maturity
date more than one year** from the date of the Fund's purchase;

         2.   May not invest more than 25% of its assets in the
securities of issuers conducting their principal business
activities in any one industry provided that for purposes of this
restriction (a) there is no limitation with respect to
investments in securities issued or guaranteed by the United
States Government, its agencies or instrumentalities,
certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances and interest-
bearing savings deposits and (b) neither all finance companies as
a group nor all utility companies as a group are considered a
single industry;

         3.   May not invest more than 5% of its assets in the
securities of any one issuer*** (exclusive of securities issued
____________________

**            Which maturity, pursuant to Rule 2a-7, may extend
              to 397 days, or such greater length of time as may
              be permitted from time to time pursuant to Rule 2a-
              7.

***           As a matter of operating policy, pursuant to Rule
              2a-7, the Fund will invest no more than 5% of its
              assets in the first tier (as defined in Rule 2a-7)
              securities of any one issuer except that under Rule
              2a-7, a Fund may invest up to 25% of its total
              assets in the first tier securities of a single
              issuer for a period of up to three business days.
              Fundamental policy number (3) would give the
              Portfolio the ability to invest, with respect to
              25% of its assets, more than 5% of its assets in
                              (Footnote continued)

or guaranteed by the United States Government, its agencies or
instrumentalities), except that up to 25% of the value of the
Fund's total assets may be invested without regard to such 5%
limitation;

         4.   May not invest in more than 10% of any one class of
an issuer's outstanding securities (exclusive of securities
issued or guaranteed by the United States Government, its
agencies or instrumentalities);

         5.   May not borrow money except from banks on a
temporary basis or via entering into reverse repurchase
agreements in aggregate amounts not to exceed 15% of the Fund's
assets and to be used exclusively to facilitate the orderly
maturation and sale of portfolio securities during any periods of
abnormally heavy redemption requests, if they should occur; such
borrowings may not be used to purchase investments and the Fund
will not purchase any investment while any such borrowings exist;

         6.   May not pledge, hypothecate or in any manner
transfer, as security for indebtedness, any securities owned or
held by the Fund except as may be necessary in connection with
any borrowing mentioned above, including reverse repurchase
agreements, and in an aggregate amount not to exceed 15% of the
Fund's assets;

         7.   May not make loans, provided that the Fund may
purchase money market securities and enter into repurchase
agreements;

         8.   May not enter into repurchase agreements if, as a
result thereof, more than 10% of the Fund's assets would be
subject to repurchase agreements not terminable within seven days
(which may be considered to be illiquid); or

         9.   May not (a) make investments for the purpose of
exercising control; (b) purchase securities of other investment
companies, except in connection with a merger, consolidation,

The Adviser

         The Fund's investment adviser is Alliance Capital
Management L.P. (the "Adviser" or Alliance"), 1345 Avenue of the
Americas, New York, New York 10105.  The Adviser is a leading
international adviser managing client accounts with assets as of
June 30, 2000 totaling more than $388 billion (of which more than
$185 billion represented assets of investment companies).  As of
June 30, 2000, the Adviser managed retirement assets for many of
the largest public and private employee benefit plans (including
29 of the nation's FORTUNE 100 companies), for public employee
retirement funds in 33 out of the 50 states, for investment
companies, and for foundations, endowments, banks and insurance
companies worldwide.  The 52 registered investment companies
managed by the Adviser, comprising 122 separate investment
portfolios, currently have approximately 6.1 million shareholder
accounts.

         Alliance Capital Management Corporation ("ACMC") is the
general partner of Alliance and an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of AXA Financial, Inc. ("AXA Financial"), a Delaware
corporation whose shares are traded on the New York Stock
Exchange ("NYSE").  As of October 2, 2000, AXA Financial and
certain of its subsidiaries were the beneficial owners of
approximately 52% of the outstanding Alliance units.  Alliance
Capital Management Holding L.P. ("Alliance Holding") owned





                               16



<PAGE>

approximately 30% of the outstanding Alliance units.******
Equity interests in Alliance Holding are traded on the NYSE in
the form of units.  Approximately 98% of such units are owned by
the public and management or employees of Alliance and
approximately 2% are owned by AXA Financial.  As of June 30,
2000, AXA, a French insurance holding company, owned
approximately 60% of the issued and outstanding shares of common
stock of AXA Financial.

         Under the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser provides
investment advisory services and order placement facilities for
the Fund and pays all compensation of Trustees of the Trust who
are affiliated persons of the Adviser.  The Adviser or its
affiliates also furnish the Fund without charge with management
supervision and assistance and office facilities.  Under the
Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee at an annual
rate of .50 of 1% of the first $1.25 billion of the average daily
net value of the Fund's net assets, .49 of 1% of the next $.25
billion of such assets, .48 of 1% of the next $.25 billion of
such assets, .47 of 1% of the next $.25 billion of such assets,
 .46 of 1% of the next $1 billion of such assets and .45 of 1% of
the average daily value of the Fund's net assets in excess of $3
billion.  The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly under the
Advisory Agreement.  Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the
Adviser will reimburse the Fund to the extent that its net
expenses (excluding taxes, brokerage, interest and extraordinary
expenses) exceed 1% of its average daily net assets for any
fiscal year.  For the fiscal years ended June 30, 1998, 1999 and
2000, the Adviser received from the Fund advisory fees of
$31,190,832, $43,181,153 and $53,197,833, respectively.  In
accordance with the Distribution Services Agreement described
below, the Fund may pay a portion of advertising and promotional
expenses in connection with the sale of shares of the Fund.  The
Fund also pays for printing of prospectuses and other reports to
shareholders and all expenses and fees related to registration
and filing with the Commission and with state regulatory
authorities.  The Fund pays all other expenses incurred in its
____________________

******        Until October 29, 1999, Alliance Holding served as
              the investment adviser to the Fund.  On that date,
              Alliance Holding reorganized by transferring its
              business to the Adviser.  Prior thereto, the
              Adviser had no material business operations.  One
              result of the organization was that the Advisory
              Agreement, then between the Fund and Alliance
              Holding, was transferred to the Adviser, and
              ownership of Alliance Fund Distributors, Inc. and
              Alliance Fund Services, Inc., the Fund's principal
              underwriter and transfer agent, respectively, also
              was transferred to the Adviser.

operations, including the Adviser's management fees; custody,
transfer and dividend disbursing expenses; legal and auditing
costs; clerical, administrative accounting, and other office
costs; fees and expenses of Trustees who are not affiliated with
the Adviser; costs of maintenance of the Trust's existence; and
interest charges, taxes, brokerage fees, and commissions.  As to
the obtaining of clerical and accounting services not required to
be provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the Advisory
Agreement, the Fund may employ its own personnel.  For such
services, it also may utilize personnel employed by the Adviser;
if so done, the services are provided to the Fund at cost and the
payments therefor must be specifically approved in advance by the
Trustees.  The Fund paid to the Adviser a total of $176,500,
$178,000 and $184,000 in respect of such services for the fiscal
years ended June 30, 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively.

         The Fund has made arrangements with certain broker-
dealers, including Pershing, Division of Donaldson, Lufkin &
Jenrette Securities Corporation (Pershing), an affiliate of the
Adviser, whose customers are Fund shareholders pursuant to which
payments are made to such broker-dealers performing recordkeeping
and shareholder servicing functions.  Such functions may include
opening new shareholder accounts, processing purchase and
redemption transactions, and responding to inquiries regarding
the Fund's current yield and the status of shareholder accounts.
The Fund pays fully disclosed and omnibus broker dealers
(including Pershing) for such services.  The Fund may also pay
for the electronic communications equipment maintained at the
broker-dealers' offices that permits access to the Fund's
computer files and, in addition, reimburses fully-disclosed
broker-dealers at cost for personnel expenses involved in
providing such services.  All such payments must be approved or
ratified by the Trustees.  For the fiscal years ended June 30,
1998, 1999 and 2000, the Fund paid such broker-dealers a total of
$6,980,773, $14,426,435 and $19,353,826, respectively, a
substantial portion of which was paid to affiliates.

         The Advisory Agreement became effective on July 22,
1992.  Continuance of the Advisory Agreement for an additional
annual term was approved by the vote, cast in person by all the
Trustees of the Trust who neither were interested persons of the
Trust nor had any direct or indirect financial interest in the
Agreement or any related agreement, at a meeting called for that
purpose on June 5, 2000.

         The Advisory Agreement remains in effect from year to
year provided that such continuance is specifically approved at
least annually by a vote of a majority of the outstanding shares
of the Fund or by the Fund's Trustees including in either case
approval by a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the
Advisory Agreement or interested persons as defined in the Act.


                               18



<PAGE>

The Advisory Agreement may be terminated without penalty on 60
days' written notice at the option of either party or by a vote
of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund; it will
automatically terminate in the event of assignment.  The Adviser
is not liable for any action or inaction with regard to its
obligations under the Advisory Agreement as long as it does not
exhibit willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or
reckless disregard of its obligations.

Distribution Services Agreement

         Rule 12b-1 under the Act permits an investment company
to directly or indirectly pay expenses associated with the
distribution of its shares in accordance with a duly adopted and
approved plan.  The Fund has entered into a Distribution Services
Agreement (the "Agreement") which includes a plan adopted
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the "Plan") with AFD (the "Distributor")
which applies to both series of the Trust.  Pursuant to the Plan,
the Fund pays to the Distributor a Rule 12b-1 distribution
services fee which may not exceed an annual rate of .25 of 1% of
the Trust's (equal to each of its series') aggregate average
daily net assets.  In addition, under the Agreement the Adviser
makes payments for distribution assistance and for administrative
and accounting services from its own resources which may include
the management fee paid by the Fund.

         Payments under the Agreement are used in their entirety
for (i) payments to broker-dealers and other financial
intermediaries, including the Distributor and Donaldson, Lufkin &
Jenrette Securities Corporation and its Pershing Division,
affiliates of the Adviser, for distribution assistance and to
banks and other depository institutions for administrative and
accounting services, and (ii) otherwise promoting the sale of
shares of the Fund such as by paying for the preparation,
printing and distribution of prospectuses and other promotional
materials sent to existing and prospective shareholders and by
directly or indirectly purchasing radio, television, newspaper
and other advertising.  In approving the Agreement the Trustees
determined that there was a reasonable likelihood that the
Agreement would benefit the Fund and its shareholders.  During
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, the Fund made payments to
the Distributor for expenditures under the Agreement in amounts
aggregating $29,026,574 which constituted .25 of 1% at an annual
rate of the Fund's average daily net assets during the period,
and the Adviser made payments from its own resources as described
above aggregating $32,261,226.  Of the $61,287,800 paid by the
Adviser and the Fund under the Agreement, $295,000 was paid for
advertising, printing and mailing of prospectuses to persons
other than current shareholders (the Fund's pro rata share was
approximately $139,715); and $60,992,800 was paid to broker-
dealers and other financial intermediaries for distribution


                               19



<PAGE>

assistance (the Fund's pro rata share was approximately
$28,886,859).

         The administrative and accounting services provided by
banks and other depository institutions may include, but are not
limited to, establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts,
sub-accounting, processing of purchase and redemption orders,
sending confirmations of transactions, forwarding financial
reports and other communications to shareholders and responding
to shareholder inquiries regarding the Trust.  As interpreted by
courts and administrative agencies, certain laws and regulations
limit the ability of a bank or other depository institution to
become an underwriter or distributor of securities.  However, in
the opinion of the Fund's management based on the advice of
counsel, these laws and regulations do not prohibit such
depository institutions from providing other services for
investment companies such as the administrative and accounting
services described above.  The Trustees will consider appropriate
modifications to the Trust's operations, including discontinuance
of payments under the Agreement to banks and other depository
institutions, in the event of any future change in such laws or
regulations which may affect the ability of such institutions to
provide the above-mentioned services.

         The Treasurer of the Trust reports the amounts expended
under the Agreement and the purposes for which such expenditures
were made to the Trustees on a quarterly basis.  Also, the
Agreement provides that the selection and nomination of
disinterested Trustees (as defined in the Act) are committed to
the discretion of the disinterested Trustees then in office.

         The Agreement became effective on July 22, 1992.
Continuance of the Agreement for an additional annual term was
approved by the vote, cast in person by all the Trustees of the
Trust who neither were interested persons of the Trust nor had
any direct or indirect financial interest in the Agreement or any
related agreement, at a meeting called for that purpose on
June 5, 2000.  The Agreement may be continued annually thereafter
if approved by a majority vote of the Trustees who neither are
interested persons of the Fund nor have any direct or indirect
financial interest in the Agreement or in any related agreement,
cast in person at a meeting called for that purpose.

         All material amendments to the Agreement must be
approved by a vote of the Trustees, including a majority of the
disinterested Trustees, cast in person at a meeting called for
that purpose, and the Agreement may not be amended in order to
increase materially the costs which the Fund may bear pursuant to
the Agreement without the approval of a majority of the
outstanding shares of the Fund.  The Agreement may also be
terminated at any time by a majority vote of the disinterested


                               20



<PAGE>

Trustees, or by a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund
or by the Distributor.  Any agreement with a qualifying broker-
dealer or other financial intermediary may be terminated without
penalty on not more than sixty days' written notice by a vote of
the majority of non-party Trustees, by a vote of a majority of
the outstanding shares of the Fund, or by the Distributor and
will terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.

         The Agreement is in compliance with rules of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD")
which became effective July 7, 1993 and which limit the annual
asset-based sales charges and service fees that a mutual fund may
impose to .75% and .25%, respectively, of average annual net
assets.

                PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES
_______________________________________________________________

         Generally, shares of the Fund are sold and redeemed on a
continuous basis without sales or redemption charges at their net

              Secaucus, New Jersey  07096-1520

    B.   When Funds are Sent by Check

         1)   Fill out an Application Form.

         2)   Mail the completed Application Form along with your
              check or negotiable bank draft (minimum $1,000),
              payable to "Alliance Capital Reserves," to Alliance
              Fund Services, Inc. as in A(3) above.

Subsequent Investments

    A.   Investments by Wire (to obtain immediate credit)


         Instruct your bank to wire Federal funds (minimum $100)
to State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street Bank") as
in A(2) above.

    B.   Investments by Check

         Mail your check or negotiable bank draft (minimum $100),
payable to "Alliance Capital Reserves," to Alliance Fund
Services, Inc. as in A(3) above.

         Include with the check or draft the "next investment"
stub from one of your previous monthly or interim account
statements.  For added identification, place your Fund account
number on the check or draft.

    Investments Made by Check

         Money transmitted by a check drawn on a member of the
Federal Reserve System is converted to Federal funds in one
business day following receipt and, thus, is then invested in the
Fund.  Checks drawn on banks which are not members of the Federal
Reserve System may take longer to be converted and invested.  All
payments must be in United States dollars.

         PROCEEDS FROM ANY SUBSEQUENT REDEMPTION BY YOU OF FUND
SHARES THAT WERE PURCHASED BY CHECK OR ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER
WILL NOT BE FORWARDED TO YOU UNTIL THE FUND IS REASONABLY ASSURED
THAT YOUR CHECK OR ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER HAS CLEARED, UP TO
FIFTEEN DAYS FOLLOWING THE PURCHASE DATE.  If the redemption
request during such period is in the form of a Fund check, the



                               22



<PAGE>

check will be marked "insufficient funds" and be returned unpaid
to the presenting bank.

Redemptions

    A.   By Telephone

         You may withdraw any amount from your account on any
Fund business day (i.e., any weekday exclusive of days on which
the New York Stock Exchange or State Street Bank is closed) via
orders given to AFS by telephone toll-free (800) 824-1916.  Such
redemption orders must include your account name as registered
with the Fund and the account number.

         If your telephone redemption order is received by AFS
prior to 12:00 Noon (Eastern time), we will send the proceeds in
Federal funds by wire to your designated bank account that day.
The minimum amount for a wire is $1,000.  If your telephone
redemption order is received by AFS after 12:00 Noon and before
4:00 p.m., we will wire the proceeds the next business day.  You
also may request that proceeds be sent by check to your
designated bank.  Redemptions are made without any charge to you.

         During periods of drastic economic or market
developments, such as the market break of October 1987, it is
possible that shareholders would have difficulty in reaching AFS
by telephone (although no such difficulty was apparent at any
time in connection with the 1987 market break).  If a shareholder
were to experience such difficulty, the shareholder should issue
written instructions to AFS at the address shown on the cover of
this Statement of Additional Information.  The Fund reserves the
right to suspend or terminate its telephone redemption service at
any time without notice.  Telephone redemption is not available
with respect to shares (i) for which certificates have been
issued, (ii) held by a shareholder who has changed his or her
address of record within the preceding 30 calendar days or (iii)
held in any retirement plan account.  Neither the Fund nor the
Adviser, or AFS will be responsible for the authenticity of
telephone requests for redemptions that the Fund reasonably
believes to be genuine.  The Fund will employ reasonable
procedures in order to verify that telephone requests for
redemptions are genuine, including among others, recording such
telephone instructions and causing written confirmations of the
resulting transactions to be sent to shareholders.  If the Fund
did not employ such procedures, it could be liable for losses
arising from unauthorized or fraudulent telephone instructions.
Selected dealers or agents may charge a commission for handling
telephone requests for redemptions.





                               23



<PAGE>

    B.   By Checkwriting

         With this service, you may write checks made payable to
any payee.  Checks cannot be written for more than the principal
balance (not including any accrued dividends) in your account.
First, you must fill out the Signature Card which is with the
Application Form.  If you wish to establish this checkwriting
service, subsequent to the opening of your Fund account, contact
the Fund by telephone or mail.  There is no separate charge for
the checkwriting service, except that State Street Bank may
impose charges for checks which are returned unpaid because of
insufficient funds or for checks upon which you have placed a
stop order.  There is currently a $7.50 charge for check
reorders.

         The checkwriting service enables you to receive the
daily dividends declared on the shares to be redeemed until the
day that your check is presented to State Street Bank for
payment.

    C.   By Mail

         You may withdraw any amount from your account at any
time by mail.  Written orders for withdrawal, accompanied by duly
endorsed certificates, if issued, should be mailed to Alliance
Fund Services, Inc., P.O. Box 1520, Secaucus, New Jersey 07096-
1520.  Such orders must include the account name as registered
with the Fund and the account number.  All written orders for
redemption, and accompanying certificates, if any, must be signed
by all owners of the account with the signatures guaranteed by an
institution which is an "eligible guarantor" as defined in Rule
17Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

_______________________________________________________________

                     ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
_______________________________________________________________

         Shareholders maintaining Fund accounts through brokerage
firms and other institutions should be aware that such
institutions necessarily set deadlines for receipt of transaction
orders from their clients that are earlier than the transaction
times of the Fund itself so that the institutions may properly
process such orders prior to their transmittal to State Street
Bank.  Should an investor place a transaction order with such an
institution after its deadline, the institution may not effect
the order with the Fund until the next business day.
Accordingly, an investor should familiarize himself or herself
with the deadlines set by his or her institution.  (For example,
the Fund's Distributor accepts purchase orders from its customers
up to 2:15 p.m. (Eastern time) for issuance at the 4:00 p.m.


                               24



<PAGE>

(Eastern time) transaction time and price.)  A brokerage firm
acting on behalf of a customer in connection with transactions in
Fund shares is subject to the same legal obligations imposed on
it generally in connection with transactions in securities for a
customer, including the obligation to act promptly and
accurately.

         Orders for the purchase of Fund shares become effective
at the next transaction time after Federal funds or bank wire
monies become available to State Street Bank for a shareholder's
investment.  Federal funds are a bank's deposits in a Federal
Reserve Bank.  These funds can be transferred by Federal Reserve
wire from the account of one member bank to that of another
member bank on the same day and are considered to be immediately
available funds; similar immediate availability is accorded
monies received at State Street Bank by bank wire.  Money
transmitted by a check drawn on a member of the Federal Reserve
System is converted to Federal funds in one business day
following receipt.  Checks drawn on banks which are not members
of the Federal Reserve System may take longer.  All payments
(including checks from individual investors) must be in United
States dollars.

         All shares purchased are confirmed to each shareholder
and are credited to his or her account at the net asset value.
To avoid unnecessary expense to the Fund and to facilitate the
immediate redemption of shares, share certificates, for which no
charge is made, are not issued except upon the written request of
a shareholder.  Certificates are not issued for fractional
shares.  Shares for which certificates have been issued are not
eligible for any of the optional methods of withdrawal; namely,
the telephone, telegraph, check-writing or periodic redemption
procedures.  The Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase
order.

         Arrangements for Telephone Redemptions.  If you wish to
use the telephone redemption procedure, indicate this on your
Application Form and designate a bank and account number to
receive the proceeds of your withdrawals.  If you decide later
that you wish to use this procedure, or to change instructions
already given, send a written notice to Alliance Fund Services,
Inc., P.O. Box 1520, Secaucus, New Jersey 07096-1520, with your
signature guaranteed by an institution which is an eligible
guarantor.  For joint accounts, all owners must sign and have
their signatures guaranteed.

         Automatic Investment Program.  A shareholder may
purchase shares of the Fund through an automatic investment
program through a bank that is a member of the National Automated
Clearing House Association.  Purchases can be made on a Fund
business day each month designated by the shareholder.


                               25



<PAGE>

Shareholders wishing to establish an automatic investment program
should write or telephone the Fund or AFS at (800) 221-5672.

         Retirement Plans.  The Fund's objectives of safety of
principal, excellent liquidity and maximum current income to the
extent consistent with the first two objectives may make it a
suitable investment vehicle for part or all of the assets held in
various tax-deferred retirement plans.  The Fund has available
forms of individual retirement account (IRA), simplified employee
pension plans (SEP), 403(b)(7) plans and employer-sponsored
retirement plans (Keogh or HR10 Plan).  Certain services
described in this prospectus may not be available to retirement
accounts and plans.  Persons desiring information concerning
these plans should write or telephone the Fund or AFS at
(800) 221-5672.

         The Alliance Plans Division of Frontier Trust Company, a
subsidiary of The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United
States, is the custodian under these plans.  The custodian
charges a nominal account establishment fee and a nominal annual
maintenance fee.  A portion of such fees is remitted to AFS to
compensate that organization for services rendered to retirement
plan accounts maintained with the Fund.

         Periodic Distribution Plans.  Without affecting your
right to use any of the methods of redemption described above, by
checking the appropriate boxes on the Application Form, you may
elect to participate additionally in the following plans without
any separate charge.  Under the Income Distribution Plan you
receive monthly payments of all the income earned in your Fund
account, with payments forwarded by check or electronically via
the Automated Clearing House ("ACH") network shortly after the
close of the month.  Under the Systematic Withdrawal Plan, you
may request payments by check or electronically via the ACH
network in any specified amount of $50 or more each month or in
any intermittent pattern of months.  If desired, you can order,
via a signature-guaranteed letter to the Fund, such periodic
payments to be sent to another person.  Shareholders wishing
either of the above plans electronically through the ACH network
should write or telephone the Fund or AFS at (800) 221-5672.

         The Fund has the right to close out an account if it has
a zero balance on December 31 and no account activity for the
first six months of the subsequent year.  Therefore, unless this
has occurred, a shareholder with a zero balance, when
reinvesting, should continue to use his account number.
Otherwise, the account should be re-opened pursuant to procedures
described above or through instructions given to a financial
intermediary.




                               26



<PAGE>

         A "business day," during which purchases and redemptions
of Fund shares can become effective and the transmittal of
redemption proceeds can occur, is considered for Fund purposes as
any weekday, exclusive of New Years Day, Martin Luther King, Jr.
Day, Presidents Day (observed), Good Friday, Memorial Day
(observed), Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas Day; if one of these holidays falls on a Saturday or
Sunday, purchases and redemptions will likewise not be processed
on the preceding Friday or the following Monday, respectively.
However, on any such day that is an official bank holiday in
Massachusetts, neither purchases nor wired redemptions can become
effective because Federal funds cannot be received or sent by
State Street Bank.  On such days, therefore, the Fund can only
accept redemption orders for which shareholders desire remittance
by check.  The right of redemption may be suspended or the date
of a redemption payment postponed for any period during which the
New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend
and holiday closings), when trading on the New York Stock
Exchange is restricted, or an emergency (as determined by the
Commission) exists, or the Commission has ordered such a
suspension for the protection of shareholders.  The value of a
shareholder's investment at the time of redemption may be more or
less than his or her cost, depending on the market value of the
securities held by the Fund at such time and the income earned.

_______________________________________________________________

        DAILY DIVIDENDS-DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE
_______________________________________________________________

         All net income of the Fund is determined after the close
of each business day, currently 4:00 p.m. Eastern time (and at
such other times as the Trustees may determine) and is paid
immediately thereafter pro rata to shareholders of record via
automatic investment in additional full and fractional shares in
each shareholder's account at the rate of one share for each
dollar distributed.  As such additional shares are entitled to
dividends on following days, a compounding growth of income
occurs.

         Net income consists of all accrued interest income on
Fund portfolio assets less the Fund's expenses applicable to that
dividend period.  Realized gains and losses are reflected in net
asset value and are not included in net income.  Net asset value
per share is expected to remain constant at $1.00 since all net
income is declared as a dividend each time net income is
determined.

         The valuation of the Fund's portfolio securities is
based upon their amortized cost which does not take into account
unrealized securities gains or losses as measured by market


                               27



<PAGE>

valuations.  The amortized cost method involves valuing an
instrument at its cost and thereafter applying a constant
amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless
of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market value
of the instrument.  During periods of declining interest rates,
the daily yield on shares of the Fund may be higher than that of
a fund with identical investments utilizing a method of valuation
based upon market prices for its portfolio instruments; the
converse would apply in a period of rising interest rates.

         The Fund maintains procedures designed to maintain, to
the extent reasonably possible, the price per share as computed
for the purpose of sales and redemptions at $1.00.  Such
procedures include review of the Fund's portfolio holdings by the
Trustees to the extent required by Rule 2a-7 under the Act at
such intervals as they deem appropriate to determine whether and
to what extent the net asset value of the Fund calculated by
using available market quotations or market equivalents deviates
from net asset value based on amortized cost.  There can be no
assurance, however, that the Fund's net asset value per share
will remain constant at $1.00.

         The net asset value of the shares is determined each
business day at 12:00 Noon and 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time).  The net
asset value per share is calculated by taking the sum of the
value of the Fund's investments and any cash or other assets,
subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the total number of
shares outstanding.  All expenses, including the fees payable to
the Adviser, are accrued daily.

_______________________________________________________________

                              TAXES
_______________________________________________________________

         The Fund has qualified in each fiscal year to date and
intends to qualify in each future year to be taxed as a regulated
investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code") and, as such, will not be liable for Federal
income and excise taxes on the net income and capital gains
distributed to its shareholders.  Since the Fund distributes all
of its net income and capital gains, the Fund itself should
thereby avoid all Federal income and excise taxes.

         For shareholders' Federal income tax purposes, all
distributions by the Fund out of interest income and net realized
short-term capital gains are treated as ordinary income, and
distributions of long-term capital gains, if any, are treated as
long-term capital gains irrespective of the length of time the
shareholder held shares in the Fund.  Since the Fund derives
nearly all of its gross income in the form of interest and the


                               28



<PAGE>

balance in the form of short-term capital gains, it is expected
that for corporate shareholders, none of the Fund's distributions
will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction under
current law.

_______________________________________________________________

                       GENERAL INFORMATION
_______________________________________________________________

         Portfolio Transactions.  Subject to the general
supervision of the Trustees of the Fund, the Adviser is
responsible for the investment decisions and the placing of the
orders for portfolio transactions for the Fund.  Because the Fund
invests in securities with short maturities, there is a
relatively high portfolio turnover rate.  However, the turnover
rate does not have an adverse effect upon the net yield and net
asset value of the Fund's shares since the Fund's portfolio
transactions occur primarily with issuers, underwriters or major
dealers in money market instruments acting as principals.  Such
transactions are normally on a net basis which does not involve
payment of brokerage commissions.  The cost of securities
purchased from an underwriter usually includes a commission paid
by the issuer to the underwriters; transactions with dealers
normally reflect the spread between bid and asked prices.

         The Fund has no obligations to enter into transactions
in portfolio securities with any dealer, issuer, underwriter or
other entity.  In placing orders, it is the policy of the Fund to
obtain the best price and execution for its transactions.  Where
best price and execution may be obtained from more than one
dealer, the Adviser may, in its discretion, purchase and sell
securities through dealers who provide research, statistical and
other information to the Adviser.  Such services may be used by
the Adviser for all of its investment advisory accounts and,
accordingly, not all such services may be used by the Adviser in
connection with the Fund.  The supplemental information received
from a dealer is in addition to the services required to be
performed by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, and the
expenses of the Adviser will not necessarily be reduced as a
result of the receipt of such information.  During the fiscal
years ended June 30, 1998, 1999 and 2000, the Fund paid no
brokerage commissions.

         Capitalization.  All shares of the Fund, when issued,
are fully paid and non-assessable.  The Trustees are authorized
to reclassify and issue any unissued shares to any number of
additional classes or series without shareholder approval.
Accordingly, the Trustees in the future, for reasons such as the
desire to establish one or more additional portfolios with
different investment objectives, policies or restrictions, may


                               29



<PAGE>

create additional classes or series of shares.  Any issuance of
shares of additional classes would be governed by the Act and the
law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  Shares of each
portfolio are normally entitled to one vote for all purposes.
Generally, shares of all portfolios vote as a single series for
the election of Trustees and on any other matter affecting all
portfolios in substantially the same manner.  As to matters
affecting each portfolio differently, such as approval of the
Advisory Agreement and changes in investment policy, shares of
each portfolio vote as separate classes.  Certain procedures for
the removal by shareholders of trustees of investment trusts,
such as the Fund, are set forth in Section 16(c) of the Act.

         At October 6, 2000, there were 11,397,934,299 shares of
beneficial interest of the Fund outstanding.  To the knowledge of
the Fund the following persons owned of record and no person
owned beneficially, 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the
Portfolio as of October 6, 2000:

         Shareholder Liability.  Under Massachusetts law,
shareholders could, under certain circumstances, be held
personally liable for the obligations of the Fund.  However, the
Agreement and Declaration of Trust disclaims shareholder
liability for acts or obligations of the Fund and requires that
the Trustees use their best efforts to ensure that notice of such
disclaimer be given in each note, bond, contract, instrument,
certificate or undertaking made or issued by the Trustees or
officers of the Trust.  The Agreement and Declaration of Trust
provides for indemnification out of the property of the Fund for
all loss and expense of any shareholder of the Fund held
personally liable for the obligations of the Fund.  Thus, the
risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of
shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which the
Fund would be unable to meet its obligations.  In the view of the
Adviser, such risk is not material.

         Legal Matters.  The legality of the shares offered
hereby has been passed upon by Seward & Kissel LLP, New York, New
York, counsel for the Fund and the Adviser.  Seward & Kissel has
relied upon the opinion of Sullivan & Worcester, Boston,
Massachusetts, for matters relating to Massachusetts law.

         Accountants.  The Fund's independent accountants for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 2001 are PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
Prior to June 30, 2000 the accountants were McGladrey & Pullen
LLP.

         Yield Quotations.  Advertisements containing yield
quotations for the Fund may from time to time be sent to
investors or placed in newspapers, magazines or other media on
behalf of the Fund.  These advertisements may quote performance
rankings, ratings or data from independent organizations or
financial publications such as Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.,
Morningstar, Inc., IBC's Money Fund Report, IBC's Money Market
Insight or Bank Rate Monitor or compare the Fund's performance to
bank money market deposit accounts, certificates of deposit or
various indices.  Such yield quotations are calculated in
accordance with the standardized method referred to in Rule 482
under the Securities Act of 1933.  Yield quotations are thus
determined by (i) computing the net changes over a seven-day
period, exclusive of capital changes, in the value of a
hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of one share
at the beginning of such period, (ii) dividing the net change in
account value by the value of the account at the beginning of
such period, and (iii) multiplying such base period return by
(365/7) with the resulting yield figure carried to the nearest
hundredth of one percent.  The Fund's effective annual yield
represents a compounding of the annualized yield according to the
following formula:

    effective yield = [(base period return + 1) 365/7] - 1.

Information does not contain all the information set forth in the
Registration Statement filed by the Fund with the Commission
under the Securities Act of 1933.  Copies of the Registration
Statement may be obtained at a reasonable charge from the

                            APPENDIX
______________________________________________________________


A-1+, A-1, Prime-1, Fitch-1 and Duff 1 Commercial Paper Ratings

         "A-1+" is the highest, and "A-1" the second highest,
commercial paper ratings assigned by Standard & Poor's and
"Prime-1" is the highest commercial paper rating assigned by
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's").  Standard & Poor's
uses the numbers 1+, 1, 2 and 3 to denote relative strength
within its highest classification of "A", while Moody's uses the
numbers 1, 2 and 3 to denote relative strength within its highest
classification of "Prime".  Commercial paper issuers rated "A" by
Standard & Poor's have the following characteristics: liquidity
ratios are better than industry average; long-term debt rating is
A or better; the issuer has access to at least two additional
channels of borrowing; basic earnings and cash flow are in an
upward trend; and typically, the issuer is a strong company in a
well-established industry and has superior management.
Commercial paper issuers rated "Prime" by Moody's have the
following characteristics: their short-term debt obligations
carry the smallest degree of investment risk; margins of support
for current indebtedness are large or stable with cash flow and
asset protection well assured; current liquidity provides ample
coverage of near-term liabilities and unused alternative
financing arrangements are generally available; and while
protective elements may change over the intermediate or longer
term, such changes are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally
strong position of short-term obligations.  Commercial paper
rated "Fitch-1" is considered to be the highest grade paper and
is regarded as having the strongest degree of assurance for
timely payment.  Commercial paper issues rated "Duff 1" by Duff &
Phelps, Inc. have the following characteristics:  very high
certainty of timely payment, excellent liquidity factors
supported by strong fundamental protection factors, and risk
factors which are very small.

AAA & AA and Aaa & Aa Bond Ratings

         Bonds rated AAA and Aaa have the highest ratings
assigned to debt obligations by Standard & Poor's and Moody's,
respectively.  Standard & Poor's AAA rating indicates an
extremely strong capacity to pay principal and interest.  Bonds
rated AA by Standard & Poor's also qualify as high-quality debt
obligations.  Capacity to pay principal and interest is very
strong, and in the majority of instances they differ from AAA
issues only in small degree.  Moody's Aaa rating indicates the
ultimate degree of protection as to principal and interest.


                               A-1



<PAGE>

Moody's Aa rated bonds, though also high-grade issues, are rated
lower than Aaa bonds because margins of protection may not be as
large or fluctuations of protective elements may be of greater
amplitude or there may be other elements present which make the
long-term risks appear somewhat larger.

Prospectus
November 1, 2000

The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved these
securities or passed upon the adequacy of this Prospectus. Any representation to
the contrary is a criminal offense.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The Fund's investment adviser is Alliance Capital Management L.P., a
global investment manager providing diversified services to institutions and
individuals through a broad line of investments including more than 100 mutual
funds.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                               RISK/RETURN SUMMARY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The following is a summary of certain key information about the Fund. You
will find additional information about the Fund, including a detailed
description of the risks of an investment in the Fund, after this summary.

      Objectives: The Fund's investment objective is maximum current income to
the extent consistent with safety of principal and liquidity.

      Principal Investment Strategy: The Fund is a "money market fund" that
seeks to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. The Fund pursues
its objectives by investing in a portfolio of high-quality, U.S.
dollar-denominated money market securities.

      Principal Risks: The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:

      o Interest Rate Risk. This is the risk that changes in interest rates will
adversely affect the yield or value of the Fund's investments in debt
securities.

      o Credit Risk. This is the risk that the issuer or guarantor of a debt
security will be unable or unwilling to make timely interest or principal
payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations. The degree of risk for a
particular security may be reflected in its credit rating. Credit risk includes
the possibility that any of the Fund's investments will have its credit ratings
downgraded.

      Another important thing for you to note:

      An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government
agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at
$1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

PERFORMANCE AND BAR CHART INFORMATION

      The performance table shows the Fund's average annual total returns and
the bar chart shows the Fund's annual total returns. The table and the bar chart
provide an indication of the historical risk of an investment in the Fund by
showing:

      o the Fund's average annual total returns for one, five and ten years; and

      o changes in the Fund's performance from year to year over 10 years.

      The Fund's past performance does not necessarily indicate how it will
perform in the future.

      You may obtain current seven-day yield information for the Fund by calling
(800) 221-9513 or your financial intermediary.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND'S OBJECTIVES, STRATEGIES, AND RISKS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      This section of the Prospectus provides a more complete description of the
investment objectives and principal strategies and risks of the Fund.

      Please note:

      o Additional descriptions of the Fund's strategies and investments, as
well as other strategies and investments not described below, may be found in
the Fund's Statement of Additional Information or SAI.

      o There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment
objectives.

Investment Objectives and Strategies

      As a money market fund, the Fund must meet the requirements of Securities
and Exchange Commission Rule 2a-7. The Rule imposes strict requirements on the
investment quality, maturity and diversification of the Fund's investments.
Under that Rule, the Fund's investments must each have a remaining maturity of
no more than 397 days and the Fund must maintain an average weighted maturity
that does not exceed 90 days.

      The Fund's investments may include:

      o marketable obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its
agencies or instrumentalities;

      o certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances issued or guaranteed
by, or time deposits maintained at banks or savings and loan associations
(including foreign branches of U.S. banks or U.S. or foreign branches of foreign
banks) having total assets of more than $500 million;

      o high-quality commercial paper (or, if not rated, determined by Alliance
to be of comparable quality) issued by U.S. or foreign companies and
participation interests in loans made to companies that issue such commercial
paper;

      o adjustable rate obligations;

      o asset-backed securities;

      o restricted securities (i.e., securities subject to legal or contractual
restrictions on resale); and

      o repurchase agreements that are fully collateralized.


                                       3
<PAGE>

      The Fund does not invest more than 25% of its assets in securities of
issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry. This
limitation does not apply to investments in securities issued or guaranteed by
the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, or to bank obligations,
including certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, and interest bearing
savings deposits, issued by U.S. banks (including their foreign branches) and
U.S. branches of foreign banks subject to the same regulation as U.S. banks. For
the purposes of this investment policy, neither all financial companies as a
group nor all utility companies as a group are considered a single industry.

Risk Considerations

      The Fund's principal risks are interest rate risk and credit risk. Because
the Fund invests in short-term securities, a decline in interest rates will
affect the Fund's yields as these securities mature or are sold and the Fund
purchases new short-term securities with lower yields. Generally, an increase in
interest rates causes the value of a debt instrument to decrease. The change in
value for shorter-term securities is usually smaller than for securities with
longer maturities. Because the Fund invests in securities with short maturities
and seeks to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, it is
possible, though unlikely, that an increase in interest rates would change the
value of your investment.

      Credit risk is the possibility that a security's credit rating will be
downgraded or that the issuer of the security will default (fail to make
scheduled interest and principal payments). The Fund invests in highly-rated
securities to minimize credit risk.

      The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities,
including illiquid restricted securities. Investments in illiquid securities may
be subject to liquidity risk, which is the risk that, under certain
circumstances, particular investments may be difficult to sell at an
advantageous price. Illiquid restricted securities also are subject to the risk
that the Fund may be unable to sell the security due to legal or contractual
restrictions on resale.

      The Fund's investments in U.S. dollar-denominated obligations (or credit
and liquidity enhancements) of foreign banks, foreign branches of U.S. banks,
U.S. branches of foreign banks, and commercial paper of foreign companies may be
subject to foreign risk. Foreign securities issuers are usually not subject to
the same degree of regulation as U.S. issuers. Reporting, accounting, and
auditing standards of foreign countries differ, in some cases, significantly
from U.S. standards. Foreign risk includes nationalization, expropriation, or
confiscatory taxation, political changes or diplomatic developments that could
adversely affect a Fund's investments.

      The Fund also is subject to management risk because it is an actively
managed portfolio. Alliance will apply its investment techniques and risk
analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there is no guarantee
that its techniques will produce the intended result.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                             MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The Fund's investment adviser is Alliance Capital Management L.P., 1345
Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10105. Alliance is a leading
international investment adviser managing client accounts with assets as of June
30, 2000 totaling more than $388 billion (of which more than $185 billion
represented assets of investment companies). As of June 30, 2000, Alliance
managed retirement assets for many of the largest public and private employee
benefit plans (including 29 of the nation's FORTUNE 100 companies), for public
employee retirement funds in 33 states, for investment companies, and for
foundations, endowments, banks and insurance companies worldwide. The 52
registered investment companies managed by Alliance, comprising 122 separate
investment portfolios, currently have more than 6.1 million shareholder
accounts.

      Alliance provides investment advisory services and order placement
facilities for the Fund. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, the Fund paid
Alliance .49% as a percentage of average daily net assets, net of any waivers.
(See the "Annual Fund Operating Expenses" at the beginning of the Prospectus for
more information about fee waivers.)

      Alliance makes significant payments from its own resources, which include
the management fees paid by the Fund, to compensate your broker-dealer,
depository institutions, or other persons for providing distribution assistance
and administrative services and to otherwise promote the sale of Fund shares,
including paying for the preparation, printing, and distribution of prospectuses
and sales literature or other promotional activities.

                           PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How The Fund Values Its Shares

      The Fund's net asset value, or NAV, which is the price at which shares of
the Fund are sold and redeemed, is expected to be constant at $1.00 per share,
although this price is not guaranteed. The NAV is calculated at 12:00 Noon and
4:00 p.m., Eastern time, on each Fund business day (i.e., each weekday exclusive
of days the New York Stock Exchange or the banks in Massachusetts are closed).

      To calculate NAV, the Fund's assets are valued and totaled, liabilities
subtracted, and the balance, called net assets, is divided by the number of
shares outstanding. The Fund values its securities at their amortized cost. This
method involves valuing an instrument at its cost and thereafter applying a
constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the
impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the investment.

How To Buy Shares

      o Initial Investment

      You may purchase the Fund's shares by instructing your Account Executive
to invest in the Fund in connection with your brokerage account.

      You also may purchase the Fund's shares directly from Alliance Fund
Services, Inc., or AFS. To obtain an Application Form, please telephone AFS
toll-free at (800) 237-5822. In addition, you may obtain information about the
Application Form, purchasing shares, or other Fund procedures by calling this
number.

     Minimum Investment Amounts
     o Initial                                                            $1,000
     o Subsequent                                                         $  100
     o Minimum Maintenance Amount                                         $  500

      These minimums do not apply to shareholder accounts maintained through
financial intermediaries, which may maintain their own minimums.

      o Subsequent Investments

      By Check:

      Mail or deliver your check or negotiable draft made payable to your
brokerage firm to your Account Executive, who will deposit it into the Fund.
Please indicate your brokerage account number.

      By Sweep:

      Your brokerage firm may offer an automatic "sweep" for the Fund in the
operation of brokerage cash accounts for its customers. Contact your Account
Executive to determine if a sweep is available and what the sweep requirements
are.

How To Sell Shares

      You may "redeem" your shares (i.e., sell your shares) on any Fund business
day by contacting your Account Executive. If you do not maintain your shares
through a financial intermediary and recently purchased shares by check or
electronic funds transfer, you cannot redeem your investment until the Fund is
reasonably satisfied the check or electronic funds transfer has cleared (which
may take up to 15 days).

      You also may redeem your shares:

      o By Sweep:

      If your brokerage firm offers an automatic sweep arrangement, the sweep
will automatically transfer from your Fund account sufficient amounts to cover a
debit balance that occurs in your brokerage account for any reason.

      o By Checkwriting:

      With this service, you may write checks made payable to any payee. First,
you must fill out a signature card, which you may obtain from your Account
Executive. There is a charge for check reorders. The checkwriting service
enables you to receive the daily dividends declared on the shares to be redeemed
until the day that your check is presented for payment. You cannot write checks
for more than the principal balance (not including any accrued dividends) in
your account.

Other

      The Fund has two transaction times each Fund business day, 12:00 Noon and
4:00 p.m., Eastern time. Investments receive the full dividend for a day if
Federal funds or bank wire monies are received by State Street Bank before 4:00
p.m., Eastern time, on that day.

      Redemption proceeds are normally wired the same business day if a
redemption request is received prior to 12:00 p.m., Eastern time. Redemption
proceeds are wired


                                       5
<PAGE>

or mailed the same day or the next business day, but in no event later than
seven days, unless redemptions have been suspended or postponed due to the
determination of an "emergency" by the Securities and Exchange Commission or to
certain other unusual conditions. Shares do not earn dividends on the day a
redemption is effected.

      The Fund offers a variety of shareholder services. For more information
about these services, telephone AFS at (800) 221-5672.

      A transaction, service, administrative or other similar fee may be charged
by your financial broker-dealer, agent, financial representative or other
financial intermediary with respect to the purchase, sale or exchange of shares
made through these financial intermediaries. These financial intermediaries may
also impose requirements with respect to the purchase, sale or exchange of
shares that are different from, or in addition to, those imposed by the Fund.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                       DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS, AND TAXES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The Fund's net income is calculated at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, each
business day and paid as dividends to shareholders. The dividends are
automatically invested in additional shares in your account. These additional
shares are entitled to dividends on following days resulting in compounding
growth of income. The Fund expects that its distributions will primarily consist
of net income, or, if any, short-term capital gains as opposed to long-term
capital gains. For Federal income tax purposes, the Fund's dividend
distributions of net income (or short-term capital gains) will be taxable to you
as ordinary income. Any long-term capital gains distributions may be taxable to
you as long-term capital gains. The Fund's distributions also may be subject to
certain state and local taxes.

      Each year shortly after December 31, the Fund will send you tax
information stating the amount and type of all of its distributions for the
year.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                            DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The Fund has adopted a plan under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule
12b-1 that allows it to pay asset-based sales charges or distribution and
service fees in connection with the distribution of its shares. The amount of
these fees is .25% as a percentage of aggregate average daily net assets.
Because these fees are paid out of the Fund's assets on an on-going basis, over
time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more
than paying other types of sales fees.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                               GENERAL INFORMATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      During drastic economic or market developments, you might have difficulty
in reaching AFS by telephone, in which event you should issue written
instructions to AFS. AFS is not responsible for the authenticity of telephone
requests to purchase or sell shares. AFS will employ reasonable procedures to
verify that telephone requests are genuine and could be liable for losses
resulting from unauthorized transactions if it failed to do so. Dealers and
agents may charge a commission for handling telephone requests. The telephone
service may be suspended or terminated at any time without notice.

                            THE FUND
________________________________________________________________

         Alliance Money Reserves (the "Fund") is one of two
portfolios of Alliance Capital Reserves (the "Trust"), a
diversified, open-end investment company.  The Trust was
reorganized as a Massachusetts business trust in October 1984,
having previously been a Maryland corporation since formation in
April 1978.  The other portfolio, also named Alliance Capital
Reserves, is described in a separate Prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information, which may be obtained from Alliance Fund
Services, Inc., P.O. Box 1520, Secaucus, New Jersey 07096-1520,
toll free (800) 221-5672.

________________________________________________________________

                INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES
________________________________________________________________

         The Fund's objective is maximum current income, to the
extent it is consistent with safety of principal and liquidity.
As a matter of fundamental policy, the Fund pursues its objective
by maintaining a portfolio of high-quality U.S. dollar-
denominated money market securities, all of which at the time of
investment have remaining maturities not exceeding one year or
less (which maturities pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 as amended, (the "Act"), may extend to 397
days, or such greater length of time as may be permitted from
time to time pursuant to Rule 2a-7).  Accordingly, the Fund may
make the following investments diversified by maturities and
issuers:

         1.   Marketable obligations of, or guaranteed by, the
United States Government, its agencies or instrumentalities.
These include issues of the U.S. Treasury, such as bills,
certificates of indebtedness, notes and bonds, and issues of
agencies and instrumentalities established under the authority of
an act of Congress.  The latter issues include, but are not
limited to, obligations of the Bank for Cooperatives, Federal
Financing Bank, Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Intermediate
Credit Banks, Federal Land Banks, Federal National Mortgage
Association and Tennessee Valley Authority.  Some of the
securities are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
Treasury, others are supported by the right of the issuer to
borrow from the Treasury, and still others are supported only by
the credit of the agency or instrumentality.

         2.   Certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances
issued or guaranteed by, or time deposits maintained at, banks or


                                2



<PAGE>

savings and loan associations (including foreign branches of U.S.
banks or U.S. or foreign branches of foreign banks) having total
assets of more than $500 million.  Certificates of deposit are
receipts issued by a depository institution in exchange for the
deposit of funds.  The issuer agrees to pay the amount deposited
plus interest to the bearer of the receipt on the date specified
on the certificate.  The certificate usually can be traded in the
secondary market prior to maturity.  Bankers' acceptances
typically arise from short-term credit arrangements designed to
enable businesses to obtain funds to finance commercial
transactions.  Generally, an acceptance is a time draft drawn on
a bank by an exporter or an importer to obtain a stated amount of
funds to pay for specific merchandise.  The draft is then
"accepted" by a bank that, in effect, unconditionally guarantees
to pay the face value of the instrument on its maturity date.
The acceptance may then be held by the accepting bank as an
earning asset or it may be sold in the secondary market at the
going rate of discount for a specific maturity.  Although
maturities for acceptances can be as long as 270 days, most
acceptances have maturities of six months or less.

         3.   Commercial paper, including funding agreements and
variable amount master demand notes, of high quality i.e. rated
A-1 or A-2 by Standard & Poor's Corporation ("Standard &
Poor's"), Prime-1 or Prime-2 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.,
("Moody's") Fitch-1 or Fitch-2 by Fitch Investors Service, Inc.,
or Duff 1 or Duff 2 by Duff & Phelps Inc. or, if not rated,
issued by U.S. or foreign companies which have an outstanding
debt issue rated AAA, AA or A by Standard & Poor's, or Aaa, Aa or
A by Moody's and participation interests in loans extended by
banks to such companies.  For a description of such ratings see
the Appendix.  Commercial paper consists of short-term (usually
from 1 to 270 days) unsecured promissory notes issued by
corporations in order to finance their current operations.  A
variable amount master demand note represents a direct borrowing
arrangement involving periodically fluctuating rates of interest
under a letter agreement between a commercial paper issuer and an
institutional lender pursuant to which the lender may determine
to invest varying amounts.  For a further description of variable
amount master demand notes, see "Floating and Variable Rate
Obligations" below.  The Fund may make investments in
certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances issued or
guaranteed by, or time deposits maintained at, foreign branches
of U.S. banks and foreign branches of foreign banks, and
commercial paper issued by foreign companies.  To the extent that
the Fund makes such investments, consideration is given to their
domestic marketability, the lower reserve requirements generally
mandated for overseas banking operations, the possible impact of
interruptions in the flow of international currency transactions,
potential political and social instability or expropriation,
imposition of foreign taxes, the lower level of government


                                3



<PAGE>

supervision of issuers, the difficulty in enforcing contractual
obligations and the lack of uniform accounting and financial
reporting standards.

         4.   Repurchase agreements that are collateralized in
full each day by liquid securities of the types listed above.  A
repurchase agreement arises when a buyer purchases a security and
simultaneously agrees to resell it to the counterparty at an
agreed-upon future date.  The resale price is greater than the
purchase price, reflecting an agreed-upon market rate which is
effective for the period of time the buyer's money is invested in
the security and which is not related to the coupon rate on the
purchased security.  Repurchase agreements are currently entered
into with counterparties deemed to be creditworthy by Alliance
Capital Management L.P. (the "Adviser" or "Alliance"), including
broker-dealers, member banks of the Federal Reserve System or
"primary dealers" (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York) in U.S. Government securities or with State Street Bank
and Trust Company ("State Street Bank"), the Fund's Custodian.
For each repurchase agreement, the Fund requires continual
maintenance of the market value of underlying collateral in
amounts equal to, or in excess of, the agreement amount.  While
the maturities of the underlying collateral may exceed 397 days,
the term of the repurchase agreement is always less than 397
days.  In the event that a counterparty defaulted on its
repurchase obligation, the Fund might suffer a loss to the extent
that the proceeds from the sale of the collateral were less than
the repurchase price.  If the counterparty became bankrupt, the
Fund might be delayed in selling the collateral.  Repurchase
agreements often are for short periods such as one day or a week,
but may be longer.  Repurchase agreements not terminable within
seven days will be limited to no more than 10% of the Fund's
assets.*******  Pursuant to Rule 2a-7, a repurchase agreement is
deemed to be an acquisition of the underlying securities provided
that the obligation of the seller to repurchase the securities
from the money market fund is collateralized fully (as defined in
such Rule).  Accordingly, the counterparty of a fully
collateralized repurchase agreement is deemed to be the issuer of
the underlying securities.

         Floating and Variable Rate Obligations.  The Fund may
purchase floating and variable rate obligations, including
floating and variable rate demand notes and bonds.  The Fund may
invest in variable and floating rate obligations whose interest
rates are adjusted either at predesignated periodic intervals or
whenever there is a change in the market rate to which the
____________________

*******       As used throughout the Prospectus and Statement of
              Additional Information, the term "assets" shall
              refer to the Fund's total assets.


                                4



<PAGE>

security's interest rate is tied.  The Fund may also purchase
floating and variable rate demand notes and bonds, which are
obligations ordinarily having stated maturities in excess of 397
days, but which permit the holder to demand payment of principal
at any time, or at specified intervals not exceeding 397 days, in
each case upon not more than 30 days' notice.

         The Fund also invests in variable amount master demand
notes (which may have put features in excess of 30 days) which
are obligations that permit the Fund to invest fluctuating
amounts, at varying rates of interest, pursuant to direct
arrangements between the Fund, as lender, and the borrower.
Because these obligations are direct lending arrangements between
the lender and the borrower, it is not contemplated that such
instruments generally will be traded, and there generally is no
established secondary market for these obligations, although they
are redeemable at face value, plus accrued interest.
Accordingly, when these obligations are not secured by letters of
credit or other credit support arrangements, the Fund's right to
redeem is dependent on the ability of the borrower to pay
principal and interest on demand.

         Reverse Repurchase Agreements. While the Fund has no
plans to do so, it may enter into reverse repurchase agreements,
which involve the sale of money market securities held by the
Fund with an agreement to repurchase the securities at an agreed-
upon price, date and interest payment.

         Asset-backed Securities.  The Fund may invest in asset-
backed securities that meet its existing diversification, quality
and maturity criteria.  These securities must generally be rated.
Asset-backed securities are securities issued by special purpose
entities whose primary assets consist of a pool of loans or
accounts receivable.  The securities may be in the form of a
beneficial interest in a special purpose trust, limited
partnership interest, or commercial paper or other debt
securities issued by a special purpose corporation.  Although the
securities may have some form of credit or liquidity enhancement,
payments on the securities depend predominately upon collection
of the loans and receivables held by the issuer.  Generally, the
special purpose entity is deemed to be the issuer of the asset-
backed security.  However, the Fund is required to treat any
person whose obligations constitute ten percent or more of the
assets of the asset-backed security as the issuer of the portion
of the asset-backed security such obligations represent.

         Illiquid Securities.  The Fund may also invest up to 10%
of the value of its net assets in securities as to which a liquid
trading market does not exist.  Such securities may include
securities that are not readily marketable, such as certain
securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions


                                5



<PAGE>

on resale (other than those restricted securities determined to
be liquid as described below) and repurchase agreements not
terminable within seven days.  As to illiquid securities, the
Fund is subject to a risk that should the Fund desire to sell
them when a ready buyer is not available at a price the Fund
deems representative of their value, the value of the Fund's net
assets could be adversely affected.

         Liquid Restricted Securities.  The Fund may also
purchase restricted securities that are determined by the Adviser
to be liquid in accordance with procedures adopted by the
Trustees. Restricted securities are securities subject to
contractual or legal restrictions on resale, such as those
arising from an issuer's reliance upon certain exemptions from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities
Act").

         In recent years, a large institutional market has
developed for certain types of restricted securities including,
among others, private placements, repurchase agreements,
commercial paper, foreign securities and corporate bonds and
notes.  These instruments are often restricted securities because
they are sold in transactions not requiring registration.  For
example, commercial paper issues in which the Fund may invest
include, among others, securities issued by major corporations
without registration under the Securities Act in reliance on the
exemption from registration afforded by Section 3(a)(3) of such
Act and commercial paper issued in reliance on the private
placement exemption from registration which is afforded by
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act ("Section 4(2) paper").
Section 4(2) paper is restricted as to disposition under the
Federal securities laws in that any resale must also be made in
an exempt transaction.  Section 4(2) paper is normally resold to
other institutional investors through or with the assistance of
investment dealers who make a market in Section 4(2) paper, thus
providing liquidity.  Institutional investors, rather than
selling these instruments to the general public, often depend on
an efficient institutional market in which such restricted
securities can be readily resold in transactions not involving a
public offering.  In many instances, therefore, the existence of
contractual or legal restrictions on resale to the general public
does not, in practice, impair the liquidity of such investments
from the perspective of institutional holders.  In recognition of
this fact, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") has stated that Section 4(2) paper may be
determined to be liquid by the Fund's Trustees, so long as
certain conditions, which are described below, are met.

         In 1990, in part to enhance the liquidity in the
institutional markets for restricted securities, the Commission
adopted Rule 144A under the Securities Act to establish a safe


                                6



<PAGE>

harbor from the Securities Act's registration requirements for
resale of certain restricted securities to qualified
institutional buyers. Section 4(2) paper that is issued by a
company that files reports under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 is generally eligible to be resold in reliance on the safe
harbor of Rule 144A. Pursuant to Rule 144A, the institutional
restricted securities markets may provide both readily
ascertainable values for restricted securities and the ability to
liquidate an investment in order to satisfy share redemption
orders on a timely basis. An insufficient number of qualified
institutional buyers interested in purchasing certain restricted
securities held by the Fund, however, could affect adversely the
marketability of such portfolio securities and the Fund might be
unable to dispose of such securities promptly or at reasonable
prices.  Rule 144A has already produced enhanced liquidity for
many restricted securities, and market liquidity for such
securities may continue to expand as a result of Rule 144A and
the consequent inception of the PORTAL System sponsored by the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., an automated
system for the trading, clearance and settlement of unregistered
securities.

         The Fund's Trustees have the ultimate responsibility for
determining whether specific securities are liquid or illiquid.
The Trustees have delegated the function of making day-to-day
determinations of liquidity to the Adviser, pursuant to
guidelines approved by the Trustees.  The Adviser takes into
account a number of factors in determining whether a restricted
security being considered for purchase is liquid, including at
least the following:

         (i)   the frequency of trades and quotations for the
               security;

         (ii)  the number of dealers making quotations to
               purchase or sell the security;

         (iii) the number of other potential purchasers of the
               security;

         (iv)  the number of dealers undertaking to make a market
               in the security;

         (v)   the nature of the security (including its
               unregistered nature) and the nature of the
               marketplace for the security (e.g., the time
               needed to dispose of the security, the method of
               soliciting offers and the mechanics of transfer);
               and




                                7



<PAGE>

         (vi)  any applicable Commission interpretation or
               position with respect to such types of securities.


         To make the determination that an issue of Section 4(2)
paper is liquid, the Adviser must conclude that the following
conditions have been met:

         (i)   the Section 4(2) paper must not be traded flat or
               in default as to principal or interest; and

         (ii)  the Section 4(2) paper must be rated in one of the
               two highest rating categories by at least two
               NRSROs, or if only one NRSRO rates the security,
               by that NRSRO; if the security is unrated, the
               Adviser must determine that the security is of
               equivalent quality.

         The Adviser must also consider the trading market for
the specific security, taking into account all relevant factors.

         Following the purchase of a restricted security by the
Fund, the Adviser monitors continuously the liquidity of such
security and reports to the Trustees regarding purchases of
liquid restricted securities.

         Senior Securities.  The Fund will not issue senior
securities except as permitted by the Act or the rules,
regulations, or interpretations thereof.

General

         There can be no assurance, as is true with all
investment companies, that the Fund's objective will be achieved.
The market value of the Fund's investments tends to decrease
during periods of rising interest rates and to increase during
intervals of falling rates.

         Net income to shareholders is aided both by the Fund's
ability to make investments in large denominations and by its
efficiencies of scale.  Also, the Fund may seek to improve
portfolio income by selling certain portfolio securities prior to
maturity in order to take advantage of yield disparities that
occur in money markets.

         The Fund's investment objective may not be changed
without the affirmative vote of a majority of the Fund's
outstanding shares as defined below.  Except as otherwise
provided, the Fund's investment policies are not designated
"fundamental policies" within the meaning of the Act and may,
therefore, be changed by the Trustees of the Trust without a


                                8



<PAGE>

shareholder vote. However, the Fund will not change its
investment policies without contemporaneous written notice to
shareholders.

         Rule 2a-7 under the Act.  The Fund will comply with
Rule 2a-7 under the Act, as amended from time to time, including
the diversification, quality and maturity limitations imposed by
the Rule.  To the extent that the Fund's limitations are more
permissive than Rule 2a-7, the Fund will comply with the more
restrictive provisions of the Rule.

         Currently, pursuant to Rule 2a-7, the Fund may invest
only in U.S. dollar-denominated "Eligible Securities" (as that
term is defined in the Rule) that have been determined by the
Adviser to present minimal credit risks pursuant to procedures
approved by the Trustees.  Generally, an Eligible Security is a
security that (i) has a remaining maturity of 397 days or less
and (ii) is rated, or is issued by an issuer with short-term debt
outstanding that is rated, in one of the two highest rating
categories by two nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations ("NRSROS") or, if only one NRSRO has issued a
rating, by that NRSRO (the "requisite NRSROs"). An unrated
security may also be an Eligible Security if the Adviser
determines that it is of comparable quality to a rated Eligible
Security pursuant to guidelines approved by the Trustees.  A
description of the ratings of some NRSROs appears in Appendix A
attached hereto.  Securities in which the Fund invests may be
subject to liquidity or credit enhancements.  These securities
are generally considered to be Eligible Securities if the
enhancement or the issuer of the enhancement has received the
appropriate rating from the requisite NRSROs.

         Under Rule 2a-7 the Fund may not invest more than five
percent of its assets in the securities of any one issuer other
than the United States Government, its agencies and
instrumentalities. A first tier security is an Eligible Security
that has received a short-term rating from the requisite NRSROs
in the highest short-term rating category for debt obligations,
or is an unrated security deemed to be of comparable quality.
Government securities are also considered to be first tier
securities.  In addition, the Fund may not invest in a security
that has received, or is deemed comparable in quality to a
security that has received, the second highest rating by the
requisite number of NRSROs (a "second tier security") if
immediately after the acquisition thereof the Fund would have
invested more than (A) the greater of one percent of its total
assets or one million dollars in securities issued by that issuer
which are second tier securities, or (B) five percent of its
total assets in second tier securities.

                     INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
________________________________________________________________

         The following restrictions may not be changed without
the affirmative vote of a majority of the Fund's outstanding
shares, which means the vote of (1) 67% or more of the shares
represented at a meeting at which more than 50% of the
outstanding shares are represented or (2) more than 50% of the
outstanding shares, whichever is less.  If a percentage
restriction is adhered to at the time of an investment, a later
increase or decrease in percentage resulting from a change in
value of portfolio securities or in amount of the Fund's assets
will not constitute a violation of that restriction.

         The Fund:

         1.   May not purchase any security which has a maturity
date more than one year******** from the date of the Fund's
purchase;

         2.   May not invest more than 25% of its assets in the
securities of issuers conducting their principal business
activities in any one industry provided that for purposes of this
restriction (a) there is no limitation with respect to
investments in securities issued or guaranteed by the United
States Government, its agencies or instrumentalities,
certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances and interest-
bearing savings deposits and (b) neither all finance companies as
a group nor all utility companies as a group are considered a
single industry:

         3.   May not invest more than 5% of its assets in the
securities of any one issuer********* (exclusive of securities
____________________

********      Which maturity, pursuant to Rule 2a-7, may extend
              to 397 days, or such greater length of time as may
              be permitted from time to time pursuant to Rule 2a-
              7.

*********     As a matter of operating policy, pursuant to Rule
              2a-7, the Fund will invest no more than 5% of its
              assets in the first tier (as defined in Rule 2a-7)
              securities of any one issuer except that under Rule
              2a-7, a Fund may invest up to 25% of its total
              assets in the first tier securities of a single
              issuer for a period of up to three business days.
              Fundamental policy number (3) would give the

issued or guaranteed by the United States Government, its
agencies or instrumentalities), except that up to 25% of the
value of the Fund's total assets may be invested without regard
to such 5% limitation;

         4.   May not invest in more than 10% of any one class of
an issuer's outstanding securities (exclusive of securities
issued or guaranteed by the United States Government, its
agencies or instrumentalities);

         5.   May not borrow money except from banks on a
temporary basis or via entering into reverse repurchase
agreements in aggregate amounts not to exceed 15% of the Fund's
assets and to be used exclusively to facilitate the orderly
maturation and sale of portfolio securities during any periods of
abnormally heavy redemption requests, if they should occur; such
borrowings may not be used to purchase investments and the Fund
will not purchase any investment while any such borrowings exist;

         6.   May not pledge, hypothecate or in any manner
transfer, as security for indebtedness, any securities owned or
held by the Fund except as may be necessary in connection with
any borrowing mentioned above, including reverse repurchase
agreements, and in an aggregate amount not to exceed 15% of the
Fund's assets;

         7.   May not make loans, provided that the Fund may
purchase money market securities and enter into repurchase
agreements;

         The Fund's investment adviser is Alliance Capital
Management L.P. (the "Adviser" or "Alliance"), 1345 Avenue of the
Americas, New York, New York  10105.  The Adviser is a leading
international adviser managing client accounts with assets as of
June 30, 2000 totaling more than $388 billion (of which more than
$185 billion represented assets of investment companies).  As of
June 30, 2000, the Adviser managed retirement assets for many of
the largest public and private employee benefit plans (including
29 of the nation's FORTUNE 100 companies), for public employee
retirement funds in 33 out of the 50 states, for investment
companies, and for foundations, endowments, banks and insurance
companies worldwide.  The 52 registered investment companies
managed by the Adviser, comprising 122 separate investment
portfolios, currently have approximately 6.1 million shareholder
accounts.

         Alliance Capital Management Corporation ("ACMC") is the
general partner of Alliance and an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of AXA Financial, Inc. ("AXA Financial"), a Delaware
corporation whose shares are traded on the New York Stock
Exchange ("NYSE").  As of October 2, 2000, AXA Financial and
certain of its subsidiaries were the beneficial owners of
approximately 52% of the outstanding Alliance units.  Alliance

Capital Management Holding L.P. ("Alliance Holding") owned
approximately 30% of the outstanding Alliance units.************
Equity interests in Alliance Holding are traded on the NYSE in
the form of units.  Approximately 98% of such units are owned by
the public and management or employees of Alliance and
approximately 2% are owned by AXA Financial.  As of June 30,
2000, AXA, a French insurance holding company, owned
approximately 60% of the issued and outstanding shares of common
stock of AXA Financial.

         Under the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser provides
investment advisory services and order placement facilities for
the Fund and pays all compensation of Trustees of the Trust who
are affiliated persons of the Adviser.  The Adviser or its
affiliates also furnish the Fund without charge with management
supervision and assistance and office facilities.  Under the
Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee at an annual
rate of .50 of 1% of the first $1.25 billion of the average daily
net value of the Fund's net assets, .49 of 1% of the next $.25
billion of such assets, .48 of 1% of the next $.25 billion of
such assets, .47 of 1% of the next $.25 billion of such assets,
 .46 of 1% of the next $1 billion of such assets and .45 of 1% of
the average daily value of the Fund's net assets in excess of $3
billion.  The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly under the
Advisory Agreement.  Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the
Adviser will reimburse the Fund to the extent that its net
expenses (excluding taxes, brokerage, interest and extraordinary
expenses) exceed 1% of its average daily net assets for any
fiscal year.  For the fiscal years ended June 30, 1998, 1999 and
2000, the Adviser received from the Fund advisory fees (net of
reimbursement for each fiscal year) of $5,418,833 (net of
$268,438 of expense reimbursement), $6,724,074 (net of $304,024
of expense reimbursement) and $8,639,994 (net of $264,007 of
expense reimbursement), respectively.  In accordance with the
Distribution Services Agreement described below, the Fund may pay

____________________
************   Until October 29, 1999, Alliance Holding served as
               the investment adviser to the Fund.  On that date,
               Alliance Holding reorganized by transferring its
               business to the Adviser.  Prior thereto, the
               Adviser had no material business operations.  One
               result of the organization was that the Advisory
               Agreement, then between the Fund and Alliance
               Holding, was transferred to the Adviser, and
               ownership of Alliance Fund Distributors, Inc. and
               Alliance Fund Services, Inc., the Fund's principal
               underwriter and transfer agent, respectively, also
               was transferred to the Adviser.

a portion of advertising and promotional expenses in connection
with the sale of shares of the Fund.  The Fund also pays for
printing of prospectuses and other reports to shareholders and
all expenses and fees related to registration and filing with the
Commission and with state regulatory authorities.  The Fund pays
all other expenses incurred in its operations, including the
Adviser's management fees; custody, transfer and dividend
disbursing expenses; legal and auditing costs; clerical,
administrative, accounting, and other office costs; fees and
expenses of Trustees who are not affiliated with the Adviser;
costs of maintenance of the Trust's existence; and interest
charges, taxes, brokerage fees, and commissions.  As to the
obtaining of clerical and accounting services not required to be
provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement,
the Fund may employ its own personnel.  For such services, it
also may utilize personnel employed by the Adviser; if so done,
the services are provided to the Fund at cost and the payments
therefor must be specifically approved in advance by the
Trustees.  In respect of such services for the fiscal years ended
June 30, 1998, 1999 and 2000, the Fund paid to the Adviser a
total of $137,000, $138,000 and $144,000, respectively.

          The Fund has made arrangements with certain broker-
dealers, including Pershing, Division of Donaldson, Lufkin &
Jenrette Securities Corporation ("Pershing"), an affiliate of the
Adviser, whose customers are Fund shareholders pursuant to which
payments are made to such broker-dealers performing recordkeeping
and shareholder servicing functions.  Such functions may include
opening new shareholder accounts, processing purchase and
redemption transactions, and responding to inquiries regarding
the Fund's current yield and the status of shareholder accounts.
The Fund pays fully disclosed and omnibus broker dealers
(including Pershing) for such services.  The Fund may also pay
for the electronic communications equipment maintained at the
broker-dealers' offices that permits access to the Fund's
computer files and, in addition, reimburses fully-disclosed
broker-dealers at cost for personnel expenses involved in
providing such services.  All such payments must be approved or
ratified by the Trustees.  For the fiscal years ended June 30,
1998, 1999 and 2000, the Fund paid such broker-dealers a total of
$1,033,468, $1,822,974 and $2,278,143, respectively, a
substantial portion of which was paid to affiliates.

          The Advisory Agreement became effective on July 22,
1992. Continuance of the Advisory Agreement for an additional
annual term was approved by the vote, cast in person by all the
Trustees of the Trust who neither were interested persons of the
Trust nor had any direct or indirect financial interest in the
Agreement or any related agreement, at a meeting called for that
purpose on June 5, 2000.



                               19



<PAGE>

          The Advisory Agreement remains in effect from year to
year provided that such continuance is specifically approved
annually by a vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the
Fund or by the Fund's Trustees, including in either case approval
by a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Advisory
Agreement or interested persons as defined by the Act.  The
Advisory Agreement may be terminated without penalty on 60 days'
written notice at the option of either party or by a vote of the
outstanding voting securities of the Fund; it will automatically
terminate in the event of assignment.  The Adviser is not liable
for any action or inaction with regard to its obligations under
the Advisory Agreement as long as it does not exhibit willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard
of its obligations.

Distribution Services Agreement

          Rule 12b-1 under the Act permits an investment company
to directly or indirectly pay expenses associated with the
distribution of its shares in accordance with a duly adopted and
approved plan.  The Fund has entered into a Distribution Services
Agreement (the "Agreement") which includes a plan adopted
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the "Plan") with AFD (the "Distributor")
which applies to both series of the Trust.  Pursuant to the Plan,
the Fund pays to the Distributor a Rule 12b-1 distribution
services fee, which may not exceed an annual rate of .25 of 1% of
the Trust's (equal to each of its series') aggregate average
daily net assets.  In addition, under the Agreement, the Adviser
makes payments for distribution assistance and for administrative
and accounting services from its own resources which may include
the management fee paid by the Fund.

          Payments under the Agreement are used in their entirety
for (i) payments to broker-dealers and other financial
intermediaries, including the Distributor and Donaldson, Lufkin &
Jenrette Securities Corporation and its Pershing Division,
affiliates of the Adviser, for distribution assistance and to
banks and other depository institutions for administrative and
accounting services, and (ii) otherwise promoting the sale of
shares of the Fund such as by paying for the preparation,
printing and distribution of prospectuses and other promotional
materials sent to existing and prospective shareholders and by
directly or indirectly purchasing radio, television, newspaper
and other advertising.  In approving the Agreement, the Trustees
determined that there was a reasonable likelihood that the
Agreement would benefit the Fund and its shareholders.  During
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, the Fund made payments to
the Distributor for expenditures under the Agreement in amounts
aggregating $4,496,809 which constituted .25 of 1% at an annual
rate of the Fund's average daily net assets and the Adviser made
payments from its own resources as described above aggregating


                               20



<PAGE>

$4,915,883.  Of the $9,412,692 paid by the Adviser and the Fund
under the Agreement, $76,000 was paid for advertising, printing
and mailing of prospectuses to persons other than current
shareholders (the Fund's pro rata share was approximately
$36,308); and $9,336,692 was paid to broker-dealers and other
financial intermediaries for distribution assistance (the Fund's
pro rata share was approximately $4,460,501).

          The administrative and accounting services provided by
banks and other depository institutions may include, but are not
limited to, establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts,
sub-accounting, processing of purchase and redemption orders,
sending confirmations of transactions, forwarding financial
reports and other communications to shareholders and responding
to shareholder inquiries regarding the Trust.  As interpreted by
courts and administrative agencies, certain laws and regulations
limit the ability of a bank or other depository institution to
become an underwriter or distributor of securities.  However, in
the opinion of the Trust's management based on the advice of
counsel, these laws and regulations do not prohibit such
depository institutions from providing other services for
investment companies such as the administrative and accounting
services described above.  The Trustees will consider appropriate
modifications to the Trust's operations, including discontinuance
of payments under the Agreement to banks and other depository
institutions, in the event of any future change in such laws or
regulations which may affect the ability of such institutions to
provide the above-mentioned services.

          The Treasurer of the Trust reports the amounts expended
under the Agreement and the purposes for which such expenditures
were made to the Trustees on a quarterly basis.  Also, the
Agreement provides that the selection and nomination of
disinterested Trustees (as defined in the Act) are committed to
the discretion of the disinterested Trustees then in office.

          The Agreement became effective on July 22, 1992.
Continuance of the Agreement for an additional annual term was
approved by the vote, cast in person by all the Trustees of the
Trust who neither were interested persons of the Trust nor had
any direct or indirect financial interest in the Agreement or any
related agreement, at a meeting called for that purpose on
June 5, 2000.  The Agreement may be continued annually thereafter
if approved by a majority vote of the Trustees who neither are
interested persons of the Trust nor have any direct or indirect
financial interest in the Agreement or in any related agreement,
cast in person at a meeting called for that purpose.

          All material amendments to the Agreement must be
approved by a vote of the Trustees, including a majority of the
disinterested Trustees, cast in person at a meeting called for


                               21



<PAGE>

that purpose, and the Agreement may not be amended in order to
increase materially the costs which the Fund may bear pursuant to
the Agreement without the approval of a majority of the
outstanding shares of the Fund.  The Agreement may also be
terminated at any time by a majority vote of the disinterested
Trustees, or by a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund
or by the Distributor.  Any agreement with a qualifying broker-
dealer or other financial intermediary may be terminated without
penalty on not more than sixty days' written notice by a vote of
the majority of non-party Trustees, by a vote of a majority of
the outstanding shares of the Fund, or by the Distributor and
will terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.

          The Agreement is in compliance with rules of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD")
which became effective July 7, 1993 and which limit the annual
asset-based sales charges and service fees that a mutual fund may
impose to .75% and .25%, respectively, of average annual net
assets.

         B.    When Funds are Sent by Check

         1)    Fill out an Application Form.

         2)    Mail the completed Application Form along with
               your check or negotiable bank draft (minimum
               $1,000), payable to "Alliance Money Reserves," to
               Alliance Fund Services, Inc. as in A(3) above.

Subsequent Investments

         A.   Investments by Wire (to obtain immediate credit)

              Instruct your bank to wire Federal funds (minimum
$100) to State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street
Bank") as in A(2) above.

         B.   Investments by Check

         Mail your check or negotiable bank draft (minimum $100),
payable to "Alliance Money Reserves," to Alliance Fund Services,
Inc. as in A(3) above.

         Include with the check or draft the "next investment"
stub from one of your previous monthly or interim account
statements.  For added identification, place your Fund account
number on the check or draft.

Investments Made by Check

         Money transmitted by a check drawn on a member of the
Federal Reserve System is converted to Federal funds in one
business day following receipt and, thus, is then invested in the


                               23



<PAGE>

Fund.  Checks drawn on banks which are not members of the Federal
Reserve System may take longer to be converted and invested.  All
payments must be in United States dollars.

         PROCEEDS FROM ANY SUBSEQUENT REDEMPTION BY YOU OF FUND
SHARES THAT WERE PURCHASED BY CHECK OR ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER
WILL NOT BE FORWARDED TO YOU UNTIL THE FUND IS REASONABLY ASSURED
THAT YOUR CHECK OR ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER HAS CLEARED, UP TO
FIFTEEN DAYS FOLLOWING THE PURCHASE DATE.  If the redemption
request during such period is in the form of a Fund check, the
check will be marked "insufficient funds" and be returned unpaid
to the presenting bank.

Redemptions

    C.   By Telephone

         You may withdraw any amount from your account on any
Fund business day (i.e., any weekday exclusive of days on which
the New York Stock Exchange or State Street Bank is closed) via
orders given to AFS by telephone toll-free (800) 824-1916.  Such
redemption orders must include your account name as registered
with the Fund and the account number.

         If your telephone redemption order is received by AFS
prior to 12:00 Noon (Eastern time), we will send the proceeds in
Federal funds by wire to your designated bank account that day.
The minimum amount for a wire is $1,000.  If your telephone
redemption order is received by AFS after 12:00 Noon and before
4:00 p.m., we will wire the proceeds the next business day.  You
also may request that proceeds be sent by check to your
designated bank.  Redemptions are made without any charge to you.

         During periods of drastic economic or market
developments, such as the market break of October 1987, it is
possible that shareholders would have difficulty in reaching AFS
by telephone (although no such difficulty was apparent at any
time in connection with the 1987 market break).  If a shareholder
were to experience such difficulty, the shareholder should issue
written instructions to AFS at the address shown on the cover of
this Statement of Additional Information.  The Fund reserves the
right to suspend or terminate its telephone redemption service at
any time without notice.  Telephone redemption is not available
with respect to shares (i) for which certificates have been
issued, (ii) held by a shareholder who has changed his or her
address of record within the preceding 30 calendar days or (iii)
held in any retirement plan account.  Neither the Fund nor the
Adviser, or AFS will be responsible for the authenticity of
telephone requests for redemptions that the Fund reasonably
believes to be genuine.  The Fund will employ reasonable
procedures in order to verify that telephone requests for


                               24



<PAGE>

redemptions are genuine, including among others, recording such
telephone instructions and causing written confirmations of the
resulting transactions to be sent to shareholders.  If the Fund
did not employ such procedures, it could be liable for losses
arising from unauthorized or fraudulent telephone instructions.
Selected dealers or agents may charge a commission for handling
telephone requests for redemptions.

    D.   By Checkwriting

         With this service, you may write checks made payable to
any payee.  Checks cannot be written for more than the principal
balance (not including any accrued dividends) in your account.
First, you must fill out the Signature Card which is with the
Application Form.  If you wish to establish this checkwriting
service subsequent to the opening of your Fund account, contact
the Fund by telephone or mail.  There is no separate charge for
the checkwriting service, except that State Street Bank may
impose charges for checks which are returned unpaid because of
insufficient funds or for checks upon which you have placed a
stop order.  There is currently a $7.50 charge for check
reorders.

         The checkwriting service enables you to receive the
daily dividends declared on the shares to be redeemed until the
day that your check is presented to State Street Bank for
payment.

    E.   By Mail

         You may withdraw any amount from your account at any
time by mail.  Written orders for withdrawal, accompanied by duly
endorsed certificates, if issued, should be mailed to Alliance
Fund Services, Inc., P.O. Box 1520, Secaucus, New Jersey
07096-1520.  Such orders must include the account name as
registered with the Fund and the account number.  All written
orders for redemption, and accompanying certificates, if any,
must be signed by all owners of the account with the signatures
guaranteed by an institution which is an "eligible guarantor" as
defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.

________________________________________________________________

                     ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
________________________________________________________________

         Shareholders maintaining Fund accounts through brokerage
firms and other institutions should be aware that such
institutions necessarily set deadlines for receipt of transaction
orders from their clients that are earlier than the transaction


                               25



<PAGE>

times of the Fund itself so that the institutions may properly
process such orders prior to their transmittal to State Street
Bank.  Should an investor place a transaction order with such an
institution after its deadline, the institution may not effect
the order with the Fund until the next business day.
Accordingly, an investor should familiarize himself or herself
with the deadlines set by his or her institution.  (For example,
the Fund's Distributor accepts purchase orders from its customers
up to 2:15 p.m. (Eastern time) for issuance at the 4:00 p.m.
(Eastern time) transaction time and price.)  A brokerage firm
acting on behalf of a customer in connection with transactions in
Fund shares is subject to the same legal obligations imposed on
it generally in connection with transactions in securities for a
customer, including the obligation to act promptly and
accurately.

         Orders for the purchase of Fund shares become effective
at the next transaction time after Federal funds or bank wire
monies become available to State Street Bank for a shareholder's
investment.  Federal funds are a bank's deposits in a Federal
Reserve Bank.  These funds can be transferred by Federal Reserve
wire from the account of one member bank to that of another
member bank on the same day and are considered to be immediately
available funds; similar immediate availability is accorded
monies received at State Street Bank by bank wire.  Money
transmitted by a check drawn on a member of the Federal Reserve
System is converted to Federal funds in one business day
following receipt.  Checks drawn on banks which are not members
of the Federal Reserve System may take longer.  All payments
(including checks from individual investors) must be in United
States dollars.

         All shares purchased are confirmed to each shareholder
and are credited to his or her account at the net asset value.
To avoid unnecessary expense to the Fund and to facilitate the
immediate redemption of shares, share certificates, for which no
charge is made, are not issued except upon the written request of
a shareholder.  Certificates are not issued for fractional
shares.  Shares for which certificates have been issued are not
eligible for any of the optional methods of withdrawal; namely,
the telephone, telegraph, checkwriting or periodic redemption
procedures.  The Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase
order.

         Arrangements for Telephone Redemptions.  If you wish to
use the telephone redemption procedure, indicate this on your
Application Form and designate a bank and account number to
receive the proceeds of your withdrawals.  If you decide later
that you wish to use this procedure, or to change instructions
already given, send a written notice to Alliance Fund Services,
Inc., P.O. Box 1520, Secaucus, New Jersey 07096-1520, with your


                               26



<PAGE>

signature guaranteed by an institution which is an eligible
guarantor.  For joint accounts, all owners must sign and have
their signatures guaranteed.

         Automatic Investment Program.  A shareholder may
purchase shares of the Fund through an automatic investment
program through a bank that is a member of the National Automated
Clearing House Association.  Purchases can be made on a Fund
business day each month designated by the shareholder.
Shareholders wishing to establish an automatic investment program
should write or telephone the Fund or AFS at (800) 221-5672.

         Retirement Plans.  The Fund's objectives of safety of
principal, excellent liquidity and maximum current income to the
extent consistent with the first two objectives may make it a
suitable investment vehicle for part or all of the assets held in
various tax-deferred retirement plans.  The Fund has available
forms of individual retirement account (IRA), simplified employee
pension plans (SEP), 403(b)(7) plans and employer-sponsored
retirement plans (Keogh or HR10 Plan).  Certain services
described in this prospectus may not be available to retirement
accounts and plans.  Persons desiring information concerning
these plans should write or telephone the Fund or AFS at
(800) 221-5672.

         The Alliance Plans Division of Frontier Trust Company, a
subsidiary of The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United
States, is the custodian under these plans.  The custodian
charges a nominal account establishment fee and a nominal annual
maintenance fee.  A portion of such fees is remitted to AFS to
compensate that organization for services rendered to retirement
plan accounts maintained with the Fund.

         Periodic Distribution Plans.  Without affecting your
right to use any of the methods of redemption described above, by
checking the appropriate boxes on the Application Form, you may
elect to participate additionally in the following plans without
any separate charge.  Under the Income Distribution Plan you
receive monthly payments of all the income earned in your Fund
account, with payments forwarded by check or electronically via
the Automated Clearing House ("ACH") network shortly after the
close of the month.  Under the Systematic Withdrawal Plan, you
may request payments by check or electronically via the ACH
network in any specified amount of $50 or more each month or in
any intermittent pattern of months.  If desired, you can order,
via a signature-guaranteed letter to the Fund, such periodic
payments to be sent to another person.  Shareholders wishing
either of the above plans electronically through the ACH network
should write or telephone the Fund or AFS at (800) 221-5672.




                               27



<PAGE>

         The Fund has the right to close out an account if it has
a zero balance on December 31 and no account activity for the
first six months of the subsequent year.  Therefore, unless this
has occurred, a shareholder with a zero balance, when
reinvesting, should continue to use his account number.
Otherwise, the account should be re-opened pursuant to procedures
described above or through instructions given to a financial
intermediary.

         A "business day," during which purchases and redemptions
of Fund shares can become effective and the transmittal of
redemption proceeds can occur, is considered for Fund purposes as
any weekday exclusive of New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr.
Day, President's Day (observed), Good Friday, Memorial Day,
(observed), Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas Day; if one of these holidays falls on a Saturday or
Sunday purchases and redemptions will likewise not be processed
on the preceding Friday or the following Monday, respectively.
However, on any such day that is an official bank holiday in
Massachusetts, neither purchases nor wire redemptions can become
effective because Federal funds cannot be received or sent by
State Street Bank.  On such days, therefore, the Fund can only
accept redemption orders for which shareholders desire remittance
by check.  The right of redemption may be suspended or the date
of a redemption payment postponed for any period during which the
New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend
and holiday closings), when trading on the New York Stock
Exchange is restricted, or an emergency (as determined by the
Commission) exists, or the Commission has ordered such a
suspension for the protection of shareholders.  The value of a
shareholder's investment at the time of redemption may be more or
less than his or her cost, depending on the market value of the
securities held by the Fund at such time and the income earned.

________________________________________________________________

        DAILY DIVIDENDS-DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE
________________________________________________________________

         All net income of the Fund is determined after the close
of each business day, currently 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) (and at
such other times as the Trustees may determine) and is paid
immediately thereafter pro rata to shareholders of record via
automatic investment in additional full and fractional shares in
each shareholder's account at the rate of one share for each
dollar distributed.  As such additional shares are entitled to
dividends on following days, a compounding growth of income
occurs.

         Net income consists of all accrued interest income on
Fund portfolio assets less the Fund's expenses applicable to that


                               28



<PAGE>

dividend period.  Realized gains and losses are reflected in net
asset value and are not included in net income.  Net asset value
per share is expected to remain constant at $1.00 since all net
income is declared as a dividend each time net income is
determined.

         The valuation of the Fund's portfolio securities is
based upon their amortized cost which does not take into account
unrealized securities gains or losses as measured by market
valuations.  The amortized cost method involves valuing an
instrument at its cost and thereafter applying a constant
amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless
of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market value
of the instrument.  During periods of declining interest rates,
the daily yield on shares of the Fund may be higher than that of
a fund with identical investments utilizing a method of valuation
based upon market prices for its portfolio instruments; the
converse would apply in a period of rising interest rates.

         The Fund maintains procedures designed to maintain to
the extent reasonably possible, the price per share as computed
for the purpose of sales and redemptions at $1.00.  Such
procedures include review of the Fund's portfolio holdings by the
Trustees to the extent required by Rule 2a-7 under the Act at
such intervals as they deem appropriate to determine whether and
to what extent the net asset value of the Fund calculated by
using available market quotations or market equivalents deviates
from net asset value based on amortized cost.  There can be no
assurance, however, that the Fund's net asset value per share
will remain constant at $1.00.

         The net asset value of the shares is determined each
business day at 12:00 Noon and 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time).  The net
asset value per share is calculated by taking the sum of the
value of the Fund's investments and any cash or other assets,
subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the total number of
shares outstanding.  All expenses, including the fees payable to
the Adviser, are accrued daily.

________________________________________________________________

                              TAXES
________________________________________________________________

         The Fund has qualified to date and intends to qualify in
each future year to be taxed as a regulated investment company
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the
"Code"), and as such, will not be liable for Federal income and
excise taxes on the net income and capital gains distributed to
its shareholders.  Since the Fund distributes all of its net



                               29



<PAGE>

income and capital gains, the Fund itself should thereby avoid
all Federal income and excise taxes.

         For shareholders' Federal income tax purposes, all
distributions by the Fund out of interest income and net realized
short-term capital gains are treated as ordinary income, and
distributions of long-term capital gains, if any, are treated as
long-term capital gains irrespective of the length of time the
shareholder held shares in the Fund.  Since the Fund derives
nearly all of its gross income in the form of interest and the
balance in the form of short-term capital gains, it is expected
that for corporate shareholders, none of the Fund's distributions
will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction under
current law.

________________________________________________________________

                       GENERAL INFORMATION
________________________________________________________________

         Portfolio Transactions.  Subject to the general
supervision of the Trustees of the Fund, the Adviser is
responsible for the investment decisions and the placing of the
orders for portfolio transactions for the Fund.  Because the Fund
invests in securities with short maturities, there is a
relatively high portfolio turnover rate.  However, the turnover
rate does not have an adverse effect upon the net yield and net
asset value of the Fund's shares since the Fund's portfolio
transactions occur primarily with issuers, underwriters or major
dealers in money market instruments acting as principals.  Such
transactions are normally on a net basis which does not involve
payment of brokerage commissions.  The cost of securities
purchased from an underwriter usually includes a commission paid
by the issuer to the underwriters; transactions with dealers
normally reflect the spread between bid and asked prices.

         The Fund has no obligations to enter into transactions
in portfolio securities with any dealer, issuer, underwriter or
other entity.  In placing orders, it is the policy of the Fund to
obtain the best price and execution for its transactions.  Where
best price and execution may be obtained from more than one
dealer, the Adviser may, in its discretion, purchase and sell
securities through dealers who provide research, statistical and
other information to the Adviser.  Such services may be used by
the Adviser for all of its investment advisory accounts and,
accordingly, not all such services may be used by the Adviser in
connection with the Fund.  The supplemental information received
from a dealer is in addition to the services required to be
performed by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, and the
expenses of the Adviser will not necessarily be reduced as a
result of the receipt of such information.  During the fiscal


                               30



<PAGE>

years ended June 30, 1998, 1999 and 2000, the Fund paid no
brokerage commissions.

         Capitalization.  All shares of the Fund, when issued,
are fully paid and non-assessable.  The Trustees are authorized
to reclassify and issue any unissued shares to any number of
additional classes or series without shareholder approval.
Accordingly, the Trustees in the future, for reasons such as the
desire to establish additional portfolios with different
investment objectives, policies or restrictions may create
additional classes or series of shares.  Any issuance of shares
of additional classes would be governed by the Act and the law of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  Shares of each portfolio are
normally entitled to one vote for all purposes.  Generally,
shares of all portfolios vote as a single series for the election
of Trustees and on any other matter affecting all portfolios in
substantially the same manner.  As to matters affecting each
portfolio differently, such as approval of the Advisory Agreement
and changes in investment policy, shares of each portfolio vote
as separate classes.  Certain procedures for the removal by
shareholders of trustees of investment trusts, such as the Trust,
are set forth in Section 16(c) of the Act.

         At October 6, 2000, there were 1,830,705,840 shares of

the Fund the following persons owned of record and no person

         Shareholder Liability.  Under Massachusetts law,
shareholders could, under certain circumstances, be held
personally liable for the obligations of the Fund.  However, the
Agreement and Declaration of Trust disclaims shareholder
liability for acts or obligations of the Fund and requires that
the Trustees use their best efforts to ensure that notice of such
disclaimer be given in each note, bond, contract, instrument,
certificate or undertaking made or issued by the Trustees or
officers of the Trust.  The Agreement and Declaration of Trust
provides for indemnification out of the property of the Fund for
all loss and expense of any shareholder of the Fund held
personally liable for the obligations of the Fund.  Thus, the
risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of
shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which the
Fund would be unable to meet its obligations.  In the view of the
Adviser, such risk is not material.

         Legal Matters.  The legality of the shares offered
hereby has been passed upon by Seward & Kissel LLP, New York, New
York, counsel for the Trust and the Adviser.  Seward & Kissel LLP
has relied upon the opinion of Sullivan & Worcester, Boston,
Massachusetts, for matters relating to Massachusetts law.

         Accountants.  The Fund's independent accountants for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 2001 are PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
Prior to June 30, 2000 the accountants were McGladrey & Pullen
LLP.

         Yield Quotations.  Advertisements containing yield
quotations for the Fund may from time to time be sent to
investors or placed in newspapers, magazines or other media on
behalf of the Fund.  These advertisements may quote performance
rankings, ratings or data from independent organizations or
financial publications such as Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.,
Morningstar, Inc., IBC's Money Fund Report, IBC's Money Market
Insight or Bank Rate Monitor or compare the Fund's performance to
bank money market deposit accounts, certificates of deposit or
various indices.  Such yield quotations are calculated in
accordance with the standardized method referred to in Rule 482
under the Securities Act of 1933.  Yield quotations are thus
determined by (i) computing the net changes over a seven-day


                               32



<PAGE>

period, exclusive of capital changes, in the value of a
hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of one share
at the beginning of such period, (ii) dividing the net change in
account value by the value of the account at the beginning of
such period, and (iii) multiplying such base period return by
(365/7)--with the resulting yield figure carried to the nearest
hundredth of one percent.  The Fund's effective annual yield
represents a compounding of the annualized yield according to the
following formula:

effective yield = [(base period return + 1)365/7] - 1.

Information does not contain all the information set forth in the

________________________________________________________________

Prime-1, Prime-2, A-1, A-2, Fitch-1, Fitch-2,
Duff 1 and Duff 2 Commercial Paper Ratings

         The Fund will invest only in paper maintaining a high
quality rating.

         "Prime-1" is the highest commercial paper rating
assigned by Moody's Investors Services, Inc. ("Moody's"), and
indicates superior ability for repayment of senior short-term
debt obligations.  "Prime-2" is the second highest, and denotes a
strong, but somewhat lesser degree of assurance.  Commercial
paper issuers rated "Prime" have the following characteristics:
their short-term debt obligations carry the smallest degree of
investment risk; margins of support for current indebtedness are
large or stable with cash flow and asset protection well assured;
current liquidity provides ample coverage of near-term
liabilities and unused alternative financing arrangements are
generally available; and while protective elements may change
over the intermediate or longer term, such changes are most
unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of short-
term obligations.

         Commercial paper issuers rate "A" by Standard & Poor's
have the following characteristics:  liquidity ratios are better
than industry average; long term debt is "A" or better; the
issuer has access to at least two additional channels of
borrowing; basic earnings and cash flow are in an upward trend;
and typically, the issuer is a strong company in a well-
established industry with superior management.  Standard & Poor's
uses the numbers 1+, 1, 2 and 3 to denote relative strength
within its highest classification of "A".  The numbers 1 and 2
indicate the relative degree of safety regarding timely payment
with "A-1" paper being somewhat higher than "A-3".

         Commercial paper rated "Fitch-1" is considered to be the
highest grade paper and is regarded as having the strongest
degree of assurance for timely payment.  "Fitch-2" is considered
very good grade paper and reflects an assurance of timely payment
only slightly less in degree than the strongest issue.

         Commercial paper issues rated "Duff 1" by Duff & Phelps,
Inc. have the following characteristics:  very high certainty of
timely payment, excellent liquidity factors supported by strong
fundamental protection factors, and risk factors which are very
small.  Issues rated "Duff 2" have a good certainty of timely

payment, sound liquidity factors and company fundamentals, small
risk factors, and good access to capital markets.

         Bonds rated "AAA" and "Aaa" have the highest ratings
assigned to debt obligations by Standard & Poor's and Moody's,
respectively.  Standard & Poor's "AAA" rating indicates an
extremely strong capacity to pay principal and interest.  Bonds
rated "AA" by Standard & Poor's also qualify as high-quality debt
obligations.  Capacity to pay principal and interest is very
strong, and in the majority of instances they differ from "AAA"
issues only in small degree.  Standard & Poor's "A" rated bonds
have a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal but
are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of change in
circumstances and economic conditions than are higher rated
bonds.

         Moody's "Aaa" rating indicates the ultimate degree of
protection as to principal and interest.  Moody's "Aa" rated
bonds, though also high-grade issues, are rated lower than "Aaa"
bonds because margins of protection may not be as large,
fluctuations of protective elements may be of greater amplitude
or there may be other elements present which make the long term
risks appeal somewhat larger.  Moody's "A" rated bonds are
considered upper medium grade obligations possessing many
favorable investment attributes.  Although factors giving
security to principal and interest are considered adequate,
elements may exist which suggest that the bonds may be
susceptible to impairment sometime in the future.
