YIELDS
For current recorded yield information on
the Funds, call toll-free (800) 221-9513.
The Funds are open-end management investment
companies with investment objectives of safe-
ty, liquidity and maximum current income (in
the case of Alliance Municipal Trust-General,
exempt from Federal income taxes and, in the
case of the New York, Connecticut, New Jersey
and Florida Portfolios, exempt from Federal
and state income taxes of the respective
states) to the extent consistent with the
first two objectives. Alliance Capital Re-
serves, Alliance Treasury Reserves and the
General Portfolio of Alliance Municipal Trust
are diversified. The New York, Connecticut,
New Jersey and Florida Portfolios of Alliance
Municipal Trust are non-diversified, and are
offered only to residents of New York and
Florida, respectively. This prospectus sets
forth the information about each Fund that a
prospective investor should know before in-
vesting. Please retain it for future
reference.
AN INVESTMENT IN A FUND IS (I) NEITHER IN-
SURED NOR GUARANTEED BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT;
(II) NOT A DEPOSIT OR OBLIGATION OF, OR GUAR-
ANTEED OR ENDORSED BY, ANY BANK; AND (III)
NOT FEDERALLY INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT
INSURANCE CORPORATION, THE FEDERAL RESERVE
BOARD OR ANY OTHER AGENCY. THERE CAN BE NO
ASSURANCE THAT A FUND WILL BE ABLE TO MAIN-
TAIN A STABLE NET ASSET VALUE OF $1.00 PER
SHARE. THE PORTFOLIOS OF ALLIANCE MUNICIPAL
TRUST, EXCEPT FOR THE GENERAL PORTFOLIO, MAY
INVEST A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THEIR ASSETS
IN THE SECURITIES OF A SINGLE ISSUER. ACCORD-
INGLY, AN INVESTMENT IN SUCH PORTFOLIOS MAY
BE RISKIER THAN AN INVESTMENT IN OTHER TYPES
OF MONEY MARKET FUNDS.

From time to time each Fund advertises its "yield" and "effective yield."
Both yield figures are based on historical earnings and are not intended to
indicate future performance. To calculate the "yield," the amount of dividends
paid on a share during a specified seven-day period is assumed to be paid each
week over a 52-week period and is shown as a percentage of the investment. To
calculate "effective yield," which will be higher than the "yield" because of
compounding, the dividends paid are assumed to be reinvested. For ACR divi-
dends for the seven days ended June 30, 1996, amounted to an annualized yield
of 4.44%, equivalent to an effective yield of 4.54%. For ATR dividends for the
seven days ended June 30, 1996, after expense reimbursement, amounted to an
annualized yield of 4.37%, equivalent to an effective yield of 4.47%. Absent
such reimbursement, the annualized yield for such period would have been
4.19%, equivalent to an effective yield of 4.28%. For AMT-General dividends
for the seven days ended June 30, 1996, after expense reimbursement, amounted
to an annualized yield of 2.74%, equivalent to an effective yield of 2.78%.
Absent such reimbursement, the annualized yield for such period would have
been 2.69%, equivalent to an effective yield of 2.73%. For AMT-New York divi-
dends for the seven days ended June 30, 1996, after expense reimbursement,
amounted to an annualized yield of 2.68%, equivalent to an effective yield of
2.72%. Absent such reimbursement, the annualized yield for such period would
have been 2.16%, equivalent to an effective yield of 2.18%. For AMT-Connecti-
cut dividends for the seven days ended June 30, 1996, after expense reimburse-
ment, amounted to an annualized yield of 2.67%, equivalent to an effective
yield of 2.71%. Absent expense reimbursement, the annualized yield for this
period would have been 2.31%, equivalent to an effective yield of 2.34%. For
AMT-New Jersey dividends for the seven days ended June 30, 1996, after expense
reimbursement, amounted to an annualized yield of 2.61%, equivalent to an ef-
fective yield of 2.64%. Absent expense reimbursement, the annualized yield for
this period would have been 2.24%, equivalent to an effective yield of 2.27%.
For AMT-Florida dividends for the seven days ended June 30, 1996, after ex-
pense reimbursement, amounted to an annualized yield of 2.92%, equivalent to
an effective yield of 2.96%. Absent such reimbursement, the annualized yield
for such period would have been 2.49%, equivalent to an effective yield of
2.52%.

of priority--safety of principal, excellent liquidity and, to the extent con-
sistent with the first two objectives, maximum current income that is, in the
case of each Portfolio of Alliance Municipal Trust, exempt from income taxa-
tion to the extent described below. As a matter of fundamental policy, each
Fund, except for AMT-Florida, pursues its objectives by maintaining a portfo-
lio of high-quality money market securities all of which at the time of in-
vestment have remaining maturities of one year (397 days with respect to ATR)
or less, which maturities may extend to 397 days. AMT-Florida pursues its ob-
jectives by investing in high quality municipal securities having remaining
maturities of 397 days or less (which maturities may extend to such greater
length of time as may be permitted from time to time pursuant to Rule 2a-7 un-
der the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), as amended). While
the fundamental policies described above and the "other fundamental investment
policies" described below may not be changed without shareholder approval,
each Fund may, upon notice to shareholders, but without such approval, change
nonfundamental investment policies or create additional classes of shares in
order to establish portfolios which may have different investment objectives.
There can be no assurance that any Fund's objectives will be achieved.
The Funds will comply with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act as amended from time to
time, including the diversification, quality and maturity limitations imposed
by the Rule. The average maturity of each Fund's portfolio cannot exceed 90
days. A more detailed description of Rule 2a-7 is set forth in each Fund's
Statement of Additional Information.
ALLIANCE CAPITAL RESERVES
The money market securities in which Alliance Capital Reserves ("ACR") in-
vests include: (1) marketable obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United
States Government, its agencies or instrumentalities (collectively, the "U.S.
Government"); (2) certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances and interest-
bearing savings deposits issued or guaranteed by banks or savings and loan as-
sociations having total assets of more than $1 billion and which are members
of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and certificates of deposit and
bankers' acceptances denominated in U.S. dollars and issued by U.S. branches
of foreign banks having total assets of at least $1 billion that are believed
by the Adviser to be of quality equivalent to that of other such instruments
in which the Fund may invest; (3) commercial paper 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, is-
sued by companies having outstanding debt securities rated AAA or AA by Stan-
dard & Poor's, or Aaa or Aa by Moody's] and participation interests in loans
extended by banks to such companies; and (4) repurchase agreements that are
collateralized in full each day by liquid securities of the types listed
above. These agreements are entered into with "primary dealers" (as designated
by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government securities or
State Street Bank and Trust Company, ACR's Custodian, and would create a loss
to the Fund if, in the event of a dealer default, the proceeds from the sale
of the collateral were less than the repurchase price. ACR may also invest in
certificates of deposit issued by, and time deposits maintained at, foreign
branches of domestic banks described in (2) above and prime quality dollar-
denominated commercial paper issued by foreign companies meeting the criteria
specified in (3) above.
ACR may purchase restricted securities that are determined by the Adviser to
be liquid in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees of ACR, in-
cluding securities eligible for resale under Rule 144A under the Securities
Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") and commercial paper issued in reliance
upon the exemption from registration in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
Restricted securities are securities subject to contractual or legal restric-
tions on resale, such as those arising from an issuer's reliance upon certain
exemptions from registration under the Securities Act.
ACR may invest in asset-backed securities that meet its existing diversifi-
cation, quality and maturity criteria. Asset-backed securities are securities
issued by special
7
<PAGE>
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 receiv-
ables held by the issuer. It is ACR's current intention to limit its invest-
ment in such securities to not more than 5% of its net assets.
Other Fundamental Investment Policies. To maintain portfolio diversification
and reduce investment risk, ACR may not: (1) invest more than 25% of its as-
sets in the securities of issuers conducting their principal business activi-
ties in any one industry although there is no such limitation with respect to
U.S. Government securities or certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances
and interest-bearing savings deposits; (2) invest more than 5% of its assets
in securities of any one issuer (except the U.S. Government) although with re-
spect to one-quarter of its total assets it may invest without regard to such
limitation; (3) invest more than 5% of its assets in the securities of any is-
suer (except the U.S. Government) having less than three years of continuous
operation or purchase more than 10% of any class of the outstanding securities
of any issuer (except the U.S. Government); (4) borrow money except from banks
on a temporary basis or via entering into reverse repurchase agreements in ag-
gregate amounts not exceeding 15% of its assets and to facilitate the orderly
maturation and sale of portfolio securities during any periods of abnormally
heavy redemption requests; or (5) mortgage, pledge or hypothecate its assets
except to secure such borrowings.
As a matter of operating policy, fundamental policy number (2) would give
ACR the ability to invest, with respect to 25% of its assets, more than 5% of
its assets in any one issuer only in the event Rule 2a-7 is amended in the fu-
ture.
ALLIANCE TREASURY RESERVES
The securities in which Alliance Treasury Reserves ("ATR") invests are: (1)
issues of the U.S. Treasury, such as bills, certificates of indebtedness,
notes and bonds; and (2) repurchase agreements that are collateralized in full
each day by the types of securities listed above. These agreements are entered
into with "primary dealers" (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York) in U.S. Government securities or State Street Bank and Trust Company,
ATR's Custodian. For each repurchase agreement, ATR requires continual mainte-
nance of the market value of the underlying collateral in amounts equal to, or
in excess of, the agreement amount. In the event of a dealer default, ATR
might suffer a loss to the extent that the proceeds from the sale of the col-
lateral were less than the repurchase price. ATR may commit up to 15% of its
net assets to the purchase of when-issued U.S. Treasury securities. Delivery
and payment for when-issued securities takes place after the transaction date.
The payment amount and the interest rate that will be received on the securi-
ties are fixed on the transaction date. The value of such securities may fluc-
tuate prior to their settlement, thereby creating an unrealized gain or loss
to ATR.
Other Fundamental Investment Policies. To maintain portfolio diversification
and reduce investment risk, ATR may not: (1) borrow money except from banks on
a temporary basis or via entering into reverse repurchase agreements in aggre-
gate amounts not exceeding 10% of its assets and to be used exclusively to fa-
cilitate 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 it will not purchase
any investment while any such borrowings exist; or (2) pledge, hypothecate or
in any manner transfer, as security for indebtedness, its assets except to se-
cure such borrowings.
ALLIANCE MUNICIPAL TRUST
The investment objectives of each Portfolio are safety of principal, liquid-
ity and, to the extent consistent with these objectives, maximum current in-
come that is exempt from income taxation to the extent described below. Except
when a Portfolio assumes a temporary defensive position, as a matter of funda-
mental policy, at least 80% of each Portfolio's total assets will be invested
in municipal securities (as opposed to the taxable investments described be-
low). Normally, substantially all of each Portfolio's income will be tax-ex-
empt as described
8
<PAGE>
below (e.g., for 1995, 100% of the income of each Portfolio was exempt from
Federal income taxes).
The General Portfolio seeks maximum current income that is exempt from Fed-
eral income taxes by investing principally in a diversified portfolio of high
quality municipal securities. Such income may be subject to state or local in-
come taxes.
The New York Portfolio seeks maximum current income that is exempt from Fed-
eral, New York state and New York City personal income taxes by investing, as
a matter of fundamental policy, not less than 65% of its total assets in a
portfolio of high quality municipal securities issued by New York state or its
political subdivisions.
The Connecticut Portfolio seeks maximum current income that is exempt from
Federal and Connecticut state personal income taxes by investing, as a matter
of fundamental policy, not less than 65% of its total assets in a portfolio of
high quality municipal securities issued by the State of Connecticut or its
political subdivisions.
The New Jersey Portfolio seeks maximum current income that is exempt from
Federal and New Jersey state personal income taxes by investing, as a matter
of fundamental policy, not less than 65% of its total assets in a portfolio of
high quality municipal securities issued by the State of New Jersey or its po-
litical subdivisions. The New Jersey Portfolio will invest not less than 80%
of its net assets in securities the interest on which is exempt from New Jer-
sey personal income taxes [i.e. New Jersey municipal securities and obliga-
tions of the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities ("U.S. Gov-
ernment Securities")]. In addition, during periods when Alliance Capital Man-
agement L.P. (the "Adviser") believes that New Jersey municipal securities
that meet the New Jersey Portfolio's standards are not available, it may in-
vest a portion of its assets in securities whose interest payments are only
federally tax-exempt.
The Florida Portfolio seeks maximum current income that is exempt from Fed-
eral income tax and State of Florida intangible tax by investing not less than
65% of its total assets in a portfolio of high-quality municipal securities
issued by Florida or its political subdivisions.
Each Portfolio of the Fund may invest without limitation in tax-exempt mu-
nicipal securities subject to the alternative minimum tax (the "AMT").
Under current Federal income tax law, (1) interest on tax-exempt municipal
securities issued after August 7, 1986 which are "specified private activity
bonds," and the proportionate share of any exempt-interest dividends paid by a
regulated investment company which receives interest from such specified pri-
vate activity bonds, will be treated as an item of tax preference for purposes
of the AMT imposed on individuals and corporations, though for regular Federal
income tax purposes such interest will remain fully tax-exempt, and (2) inter-
est on all tax-exempt obligations will be included in "adjusted current earn-
ings" of corporations for AMT purposes. Such bonds have provided, and may con-
tinue to provide, somewhat higher yields than other comparable municipal secu-
rities. See below, "Daily Dividends, Other Distributions, Taxes."
There can be no assurance that the Portfolios will achieve their investment
objectives. Potential investors in the New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and
Florida Portfolios should consider the greater risk of the concentration of
such Portfolios versus the safety that comes with less concentrated invest-
ments and should compare yields available on portfolios of the relevant
state's issues with those of more diversified portfolios, including other
states' issues, before making an investment decision. The Adviser believes
that by maintaining each Portfolio's investments in liquid, short-term, high
quality investments, each Portfolio is largely insulated from the credit risks
that exist on long-term municipal securities of the relevant state. See the
Statement of Additional Information for a more detailed discussion of the fi-
nancial condition of New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Florida.
Municipal Securities. The municipal securities in which each Portfolio in-
vests include municipal notes and short-term municipal bonds. Municipal notes
are generally used to provide for short-term capital needs and generally have
maturities of one year or less. Examples include tax anticipation and revenue
anticipation notes, which are generally issued in anticipation of various sea-
sonal revenues, bond anticipation notes, and tax-exempt commercial paper.
Short-term municipal bonds may include general obligation bonds, which are se-
cured by the
9
<PAGE>
issuer's pledge of its faith, credit and taxing power for payment of principal
and interest, and revenue bonds, which are generally paid from the revenues of
a particular facility or a specific excise or other source.
A Portfolio may invest in variable 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. Such
adjustments minimize changes in the market value of the obligation and, ac-
cordingly, enhance the ability of the Portfolio to maintain a stable net asset
value. Variable rate securities purchased may include participation interests
in industrial development bonds backed by letters of credit of Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation member banks having total assets of more than $1 bil-
lion. The letters of credit of any single bank in respect of all variable rate
obligations will not cover more than 10% of a Portfolio's total assets.
Each Portfolios' municipal securities at the time of purchase are rated
within the two highest quality ratings of Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (Aaa
and Aa, MIG 1 and MIG 2, or VMIG 1 and VMIG 2) or Standard & Poor's Corpora-
tion (AAA and AA or SP-1 and SP-2), or judged by the Adviser to be of compara-
ble quality. Securities must also meet credit standards applied by the
Adviser.
To further enhance the quality and liquidity of the securities in which the
Portfolios invest, such securities frequently are supported by credit and li-
quidity enhancements, such as letters of credit, from third party financial
institutions. The Adviser continuously monitors the credit quality of such
third parties; however, changes in the credit quality of such a financial in-
stitution could cause a Portfolio's investments backed by that institution to
lose value and affect a Portfolio's share price.
A Portfolio also may invest in stand-by commitments, which may involve cer-
tain expenses and risks, but such commitments are not expected to comprise
more than 5% of any Portfolio's net assets. A Portfolio may commit up to 15%
of its net assets to the purchase of when-issued securities. The Fund's custo-
dian will maintain, in a separate account of the respective Portfolio, liquid
high-grade debt securities having value equal to, or greater than, such when-
issued securities. The price of when-issued securities, which is generally ex-
pressed in yield terms, is fixed at the time the commitment to purchase is
made, but delivery and payment for such securities takes place at a later
time. Normally the settlement date occurs from within ten days to one month
after the purchase of the issue. The value of when-issued securities may fluc-
tuate prior to their settlement, thereby creating an unrealized gain or loss
to a Portfolio.
Taxable Investments. The taxable investments in which each Portfolio may in-
vest include obligations of the U.S. Government and its agencies, high quality
certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances, prime commercial paper, and
repurchase agreements.
Other Fundamental Investment Policies. To reduce investment risk, the Gen-
eral Portfolio may not invest more than 25% of its total assets in municipal
securities whose issuers are located in the same state, and no Portfolio may
invest more than 25% of its total assets in municipal securities the interest
upon which is paid from revenues of similar-type projects; a Portfolio may not
invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of any one issuer
except the U.S. Government, although (i) with respect to 25% of its total as-
sets the General Portfolio may invest up to 10% per issuer, and (ii) the New
York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Florida Portfolios may invest 50% of their
respective total assets in as few as four issuers (but no more than 25% of to-
tal assets in any one issuer); and a Portfolio may not purchase more than 10%
of any class of the voting securities of any one issuer except those of the
U.S. Government.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
SHARE PRICE. Shares are sold and redeemed on a continuous basis without sales
or redemption charges at their net asset value which is expected to be constant
at $1.00 per share, although this price is not guaranteed. The net asset value
of each Fund's shares is determined each business day at 12:00 Noon and 4:00
p.m. (New York time). The net asset value per share of a Fund is calculated by
taking the sum of the value of that Fund's investments (amortized cost value is
used for this purpose) 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.
TIMING OF INVESTMENTS AND REDEMPTIONS. The Funds have two transaction times
each business day, 12:00 Noon and 4:00 p.m. (New York time). New investments
represented by Federal funds or bank wire monies received by State Street Bank
at any time during a day prior to 4:00 p.m. are entitled to the full dividend
to be paid to shareholders for that day. Shares do not earn dividends on the
day a redemption is effected regardless of whether the redemption order is re-
ceived before or after 12:00 Noon.
During drastic economic or market developments, shareholders might have dif-
ficulty in reaching Alliance Fund Services, Inc. by telephone in which event
the shareholder should issue written instructions to Alliance Fund Services,
Inc. at the address shown in this prospectus. The Funds reserve the right to
suspend or terminate their telephone service at any time without notice. Nei-
ther the Funds nor the Adviser, or Alliance Fund Services, Inc. will be respon-
sible for the authenticity of telephone requests to purchase or sell shares.
Alliance Fund Services, Inc. will employ reasonable procedures in order to ver-
ify that telephone requests are genuine and could be liable for losses arising
from unauthorized transactions if it failed to do so. Selected dealers or
agents may charge a commission for handling telephone requests for redemptions.
Redemption proceeds are normally wired or mailed either the same 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.
SMALL ACCOUNT CHARGE. The Funds impose service charges upon financial inter-
mediaries to reflect the relatively higher costs of small accounts and small
transactions; these intermediaries may in turn pass on such charges to affected
accounts.
MINIMUMS. In addition to the initial investment minimums described above,
each Fund has a minimum of $500 for subsequent investments.
DAILY DIVIDENDS, OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS, TAXES. All net income of each Fund is
determined each business day at 4:00 p.m. (New York time) and is paid immedi-
ately thereafter pro rata to shareholders of that Fund of record via automatic
investment in additional full and fractional shares of that Fund in each share-
holder's account. As such additional shares are entitled to dividends on fol-
lowing days, a compounding growth of income occurs.
Net income consists of all accrued interest income on Fund assets less the
Fund's expenses applicable to that dividend period. Realized gains and losses
are reflected in its net asset value and are not included in net income.
Distributions to you out of tax-exempt interest income earned by each Portfo-
lio of Alliance Municipal Trust are not subject to Federal income tax (other
than the AMT), but, in the case of the General Portfolio, may be subject to
state or local income taxes. Any exempt-interest dividends derived from inter-
est on municipal securities subject to the AMT will be a specific preference
item for purposes of the Federal individual and corporate AMT. Distributions to
residents of New York out of income earned by the New York Portfolio from New
York municipal securities are exempt from New York state and New York City per-
sonal income taxes. Distributions to residents of New Jersey out of income
earned by the New Jersey Portfolio from New Jersey municipal securities or U.S.
Government Securities are exempt from New Jersey state personal income taxes.
Distributions from the New Jersey Portfolio are, however, subject to the New
Jersey
12
<PAGE>
Corporation Business (Franchise) Tax and the New Jersey Corporation Income Tax
payable by corporate shareholders. Dividends paid by the Florida Portfolio to
individual Florida shareholders will not be subject to Florida income tax,
which is imposed only on corporations. However, Florida currently imposes an
"intangible tax" at the rate of $2.00 per $1,000 taxable value of certain se-
curities, such as shares of the Portfolio, and other intangible assets owned
by Florida residents. U.S. Government securities and Florida municipal securi-
ties are exempt from this intangible tax. It is anticipated that the Florida
Portfolio shares will qualify for exemption from the Florida intangible tax.
In order to so qualify, the Florida Portfolio must, among other things, have
its entire portfolio invested in U.S. Government securities and Florida munic-
ipal securities on December 31 of any year. Exempt-interest dividends paid by
the Florida Portfolio to corporate shareholders will be subject to Florida
corporate income tax. Distributions out of taxable interest income, other in-
vestment income, and short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary
income and distributions of long-term capital gains, if any, are taxable as
long-term capital gains irrespective of the length of time you may have held
your shares. Distributions of short and long-term capital gains, if any, are
normally made near year-end. Each year shortly after December 31, the Funds
will send you tax information stating the amount and type of all its distribu-
tions for the year just ended.
THE ADVISER. Each Fund retains Alliance Capital Management L. P., 1345 Ave-
nue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105 under separate Advisory Agreements to
provide investment advice and, in general, to supervise its management and in-
vestment program, subject to the general control of the Trustees of each Fund.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, ACR, ATR, AMT-General, AMT-NY, AMT-CT
and AMT-NJ each paid the Adviser an advisory fee at an annual rate of .47,
.50, .50, .42, .25 and .23 of 1%, respectively, of the average daily value of
the respective Portfolio's net assets. For the period ended June 30, 1996, the
Adviser waived the advisory fee for AMT-FL.
Under a Distribution Services Agreement (the "Agreement"), each Fund pays
the Adviser at a maximum annual rate of .25 of 1% of the Fund's aggregate av-
erage daily net assets. For the period ended June 30, 1996, ACR, ATR, AMT-Gen-
eral, AMT-NY, AMT-CT, AMT-NJ and AMT-FL each paid the Adviser a distribution
services fee at an annual rate of .25, .01, .25, .15, .15, .15 and .15 of 1%,
respectively, of the average daily value of the net assets of each Portfolio.
Substantially all such monies (together with significant amounts from the Ad-
viser's own resources) are paid by the Adviser to broker-dealers and other fi-
nancial intermediaries for their distribution assistance and to banks and
other depository institutions for administrative and accounting services pro-
vided to the Funds, with any remaining amounts being used to partially defray
other expenses incurred by the Adviser in distributing the Funds' shares. The
Funds believe that the administrative services provided by depository institu-
tions are permissible activities under present banking laws and regulations
and will take appropriate actions (which should not adversely affect the Funds
or their shareholders) in the future to maintain such legal conformity should
any changes in, or interpretations of, such laws or regulations occur.
The Adviser will reimburse each Fund to the extent that aggregate operating
expenses of that Fund (including the Adviser's fee and expenses incurred under
the Agreement) exceed 1% of its average daily net assets for any fiscal year.
CUSTODIAN, TRANSFER AGENT AND DISTRIBUTOR. State Street Bank and Trust Com-
pany, P.O. Box 1912, Boston, MA 02105, is the Funds' Custodian. Alliance Fund
Services, Inc., P.O. Box 1520, Secaucus, NJ 07096-1520 and Alliance Fund Dis-
tributors, Inc., 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105, are the
Funds' Transfer Agent and Distributor, respectively.
FUND ORGANIZATION. Alliance Government Reserves (not offered by this pro-
spectus) and ATR are series of Alliance Government Reserves which is a diver-
sified open-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act.
The Fund was reorganized as a Massachusetts business trust in October 1984,
having previously been a Maryland corporation since its formation in December
1978. ACR and Alliance Money Reserves (not offered by this prospectus) are se-
ries of Alliance Capital Reserves, a diversified open-end management invest-
ment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund was reorganized as a Mas-
sachusetts business trust in October
13
<PAGE>
1984, having previously been a Maryland corporation since its formation in
April 1978. AMT-General is a diversified, and AMT-NY, AMT-CT, AMT-NJ and AMT-
FL are non-diversified series of Alliance Municipal Trust, which is also an
open-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act consist-
ing of such series and two other series not offered by this prospectus. The
Fund was reorganized as a Massachusetts business trust in April 1985, having
previously been a Maryland corporation since its formation in January 1983.
Each Fund's activities are supervised by its Trustees. Normally, shares of
each series of Alliance Municipal Trust, Alliance Government Reserves and
Alliance Capital Reserves are entitled to one vote per share, and vote as a
single series, on matters that affect each series in substantially the same
manner. Massachusetts law does not require annual meetings of shareholders and
it is anticipated that shareholder meetings will be held only when required by
Federal law. Shareholders have available certain procedures for the removal of
Trustees.
REPORTS. You receive semi-annual and annual reports for your Fund as well as
a monthly summary of your account.
Since this prospectus sets forth information about all the Funds, it is the-
oretically possible that a Fund might be liable for any materially inaccurate
or incomplete disclosure in this prospectus concerning another Fund. Based on
the advice of counsel, however, the Funds believe that the potential liability
of each Fund with respect to the disclosure in this prospectus extends only to
the disclosure relating to that Fund.
