NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1998                                        ALLIANCE TREASURY RESERVES
_______________________________________________________________________________

NOTE A: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Alliance Government Reserves (the "Trust") is an open-end diversified 
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The 
Trust consists of two portfolios: Alliance Government Reserves and Alliance 
Treasury Reserves (the "Portfolio"), each of which is considered to be a 
separate entity for financial reporting and tax purposes. The Portfolio pursues 
its objectives by maintaining a portfolio of high-quality money market 
securities all of which, at the time of investment, have remaining maturities 
of 397 days or less. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity 
with generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make 
certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets 
and liabilities in the financial statements and amounts of income and expenses 
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the 
Portfolio.

1. VALUATION OF SECURITIES
Securities in which the Portfolio invests are traded primarily in the 
over-the-counter market and are valued at amortized cost, under which method a 
portfolio instrument is valued at cost and any premium or discount is amortized 
on a constant basis to maturity.

2. ORGANIZATION EXPENSES
The organization expenses of the Portfolio are being amortized against income 
on a straight-line basis through September, 1998.

3. TAXES
It is the Portfolio's policy to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue 
Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its 
investment company taxable income and net realized gains, if any, to its 
shareholders. Therefore, no provisions for federal income or excise taxes are 
required.

4. DIVIDENDS
The Portfolio declares dividends daily from net investment income and 
automatically reinvests such dividends in additional shares at net asset value. 
Net realized capital gains on investments, if any, are expected to be 
distributed near year end.

5. INVESTMENT INCOME AND INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment transactions are recorded on a 
trade date basis. Realized gain (loss) from investment transactions is recorded 
on the identified cost basis.

6. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
It is the Portfolio's policy to take possession of securities as collateral 
under repurchase agreements and to determine on a daily basis that the value of 
such securities are sufficient to cover the value of the repurchase agreements.


NOTE B: ADVISORY FEE AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AN AFFILIATE OF THE ADVISER
The Portfolio pays its Adviser, Alliance Capital Management L.P., an advisory 
fee at the annual rate of .50% on the first $1.25 billion of average daily net 
assets; .49% on the next $.25 billion; .48% on the next $.25 billion; .47% on 
the next $.25 billion; .46% on the next $1 billion; and .45% in excess of $3 
billion. The Adviser has agreed, pursuant to the advisory agreement, to 
reimburse the Portfolio to the extent that its annual aggregate expenses 
(excluding taxes, brokerage, interest and, where permitted, extraordinary 
expenses) exceed 1% of its average daily net assets for any fiscal year. The 
Adviser also voluntarily agreed to reimburse the Portfolio from July 1, 1997 to 
October 26, 1997 for expenses exceeding .85% of its average daily net assets 
and from October 27, 1997 to November 19, 1997 for expenses exceeding .90% of 
its average daily net assets. For the year ended June 30, 1998, the 
reimbursement amounted to $39,480.

The Portfolio compensates Alliance Fund Services, Inc., a wholly-owned 
subsidiary of the Adviser, under a Transfer Agency Agreement for providing 
personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services for the Portfolio. 
Such compensation amounted to $350,012 for the year ended June 30, 1998.

_______________________________________________________________________________

NOTE C: DISTRIBUTION ASSISTANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES PLAN
Under this Plan, the Portfolio pays the Adviser a distribution fee at the 
annual rate of up to .25% of the average daily value of the Portfolio's net 
assets. The Plan provides that the Adviser will use such payments in their 
entirety for distribution assistance and promotional activities. For the year 
ended June 30, 1998, the distribution fee amounted to $1,818,261, of which 
$337,370 was waived. In addition, the Portfolio may reimburse certain 
broker-dealers for administrative costs incurred in connection with providing 
shareholder services, and may reimburse the Adviser for accounting and 
bookkeeping, and legal and compliance support. For the year ended June 30, 
1998, such payments by the Portfolio amounted to $679,213, of which $131,500 
was paid to the Adviser.


NOTE D: INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
At June 30, 1998, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was 
the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes. At June 30, 1998 the 
Portfolio had a loss carryforward of $1,049 which expires in the year 2006.


NOTE E: TRANSACTIONS IN SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
An unlimited number of shares ($.001 par value) are authorized. At June 30, 
1998, capital paid-in aggregated $740,057,194. Transactions, all at $1.00 per 
share, were as follows:

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS 
ALLIANCE TREASURY RESERVES PORTFOLIO

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of Alliance Treasury 
Reserves Portfolio as of June 30, 1998 and the related statement of operations, 
changes in net assets, and financial highlights for the periods indicated in 
the accompanying financial statements. These financial statements and financial 
highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio's management. Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and 
financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain 
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial 
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a 
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial 
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 
30, 1998, by correspondence with the custodian.

An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant 
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial 
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis 
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to 
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of 
Alliance Treasury Reserves Portfolio as of June 30, 1998, and the results of 
its operations, changes in its net assets, and its financial highlights for the 
periods indicated, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
