DREYFUS LIQUID ASSETS, INC.
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to provide you with this report on Dreyfus Liquid Assets,
Inc. For its annual reporting period ended December 31, 1995, your Fund
provided an annualized yield of 5.34%. The annualized effective yield after
compounding was 5.47%.*
THE ECONOMY
Additional evidence that economic activity remained sluggish and that
inflation continued to be under control moved the Federal Reserve Board to
further reduce the Federal Funds rate in December. (The Federal Funds rate is
the rate at which the nation's banks borrow money from each other and is a
benchmark for other short-term rates). This was the second reduction for this
important short-term rate in 1995, the first occurring in July. The latest
25-basis-point reduction in December put the rate at 5.50%. Major incentives
for this additional decrease were the favorable inflation report in November
and the generally slow rate of economic growth. As it did in July, the
Federal Reserve left unchanged the discount rate _ the rate at which the
Federal Reserve lends to member banks. The discount rate remained at 5.25%
throughout 1995.
Signs of economic slowdown increased during the latter half of the year.
Weakening retail sales and very modest industrial production lent credence to
fears about the possibility of recession. Consumer spending was inhibited
last year by the sluggish growth in wages and salaries and the continued
trend of corporate downsizing. As a result, consumer spending last year
culminated in one of the worst holiday sales periods since the business slump
in 1990-1991, despite steep price markdowns by retailers.
By November, the capacity utilization rate of the nation's factories
declined for the third consecutive month. This was a reflection of weakening
demand and further evidence of the diminishing pressure to raise prices.
Furthermore, inventories built up by year-end, another sign of slackening
demand.
The political stalemate in Washington over the balanced budget adds
additional uncertainty to the economy; ultimately an accord will be reached
and fiscal policy will likely be a restraining force on the economy. As we go
forward without a budget agreement, reductions in annually appropriated
spending will tend to inhibit the economy. With an agreement, the combination
of cuts in appropriations and other spending reductions could have the same
effect.
There are strong indications that inflation is under control. Until
mid-year 1995, fear of inflation was the overriding concern of the Federal
Reserve. Now the focus seems to have shifted to actions designed to avoid
recession. In an election year, few things are less desirable for political
incumbents than recession.
MONEY MARKET ENVIRONMENT/PORTFOLIO ACTIVITY
In the past 12 months, interest rates trended lower, as statistical
evidence revealed a backdrop of moderate to weak economic growth with subdued
inflation. Strong technical factors and positive psychology helped the market
sustain its fundamentally bullish tone throughout the period.
For example, the 3-month Certificates of Deposit had an average yield of
6.29% for the month of December 1994, compared to 5.62% for the month of
December 1995.
Within this framework, the average maturity of your Fund has been at the
long end of the industry average during the year, in an attempt to fully
maximize yield potential in the current declining interest rate environment.
Included in this report is a series of detailed statements about your
Fund's holdings and its financial condition. We hope they are informative.
Please know that we appreciate greatly your continued confidence in the Fund
and in The Dreyfus Corporation.
Very truly yours,
[Patricia A. Larkin signature logo]

* Annualized effective yield is based upon dividends declared daily and
reinvested daily.

DREYFUS LIQUID ASSETS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Act")
as a diversified open-end management investment company. Premier Mutual Fund
Services, Inc. (the "Distributor") acts as the distributor of the Fund's
shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge. The Distributor,
located at One Exchange Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of FDI Distribution Services, Inc., a provider of mutual fund
administration services, which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FDI
Holdings, Inc., the parent company of which is Boston Institutional Group,
Inc. The Dreyfus Corporation ("Manager") serves as the Fund's investment
adviser. The Manager is a direct subsidiary of Mellon Bank, N.A.
It is the Fund's policy to maintain a continuous net asset value per
share of $1.00; the Fund has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation
and dividend and distribution policies to enable it to do so. There is no
assurance, however, that the Fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset
value of $1.00.
(A) PORTFOLIO VALUATION: Investments are valued at amortized cost, which
has been determined by the Fund's Board of Directors to represent the fair
value of the Fund's investments.
(B) SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Securities
transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss from
securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest
income is recognized on the accrual basis. Cost of investments represents
amortized cost.
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with financial
institutions, deemed to be creditworthy by the Fund's Manager, subject to the
seller's agreement to repurchase and the Fund's agreement to resell such
securities at a mutually agreed upon price. Securities purchased subject to
repurchase agreements are deposited with the Fund's custodian and, pursuant
to the terms of the repurchase agreement, must have an aggregate market value
greater than or equal to the repurchase price plus accrued interest at all
times. If the value of the underlying securities falls below the value of the
repurchase price plus accrued interest, the Fund will require the seller to
deposit additional collateral by the next business day. If the request for
additional collateral is not met, or the seller defaults on its repurchase
obligation, the Fund maintains the right to sell the underlying securities at
market value and may claim any resulting loss against the seller.
(C) DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS: It is the policy of the Fund to declare
and pay dividends from investment income-net on each business day. Dividends
from net realized capital gain are normally declared and paid annually, but
the Fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the
distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. To the extent that
net realized capital gain can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the
policy of the Fund not to distribute such gain.
On January 2, 1996, the Fund declared a cash dividend of approximately
$.0006 per share from undistributed investment income-net which includes
investment income-net for Saturday, December 30, 1995 and Sunday, December
31, 1995.
(D) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the policy of the Fund to continue to
qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the
best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of taxable
income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all Federal income and
excise taxes.
DREYFUS LIQUID ASSETS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The Fund has an unused capital loss carryover of approximately $2,181,000
available for Federal income tax purposes to be
applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to
December 31, 1995. If not applied, $2,110,000 expires in 1997 and $71,000
expires in 1998.
At December 31, 1995, the cost of investments for Federal income tax
purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting
purposes (see the Statement of Investments).
NOTE 2-MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES:
(A) Pursuant to a management agreement ("Agreement") with the Manager,
the management fee is based on the average daily value of the Fund's net
assets and is computed at the following annual rates: 1/2 of 1% of the first
$1.5 billion; 48/100ths of 1% of the next $500 million; 47/100ths of 1% of
the next $500 million; and 45/100ths of 1% over $2.5 billion. The fee is
payable monthly.
The Agreement provides for an expense reimbursement from the Manager
should the Fund's aggregate expenses, exclusive of taxes, interest on
borrowings, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses, exceed 1% of
the average value of the Fund's net assets for any full year. No expense
reimbursement was required pursuant to the Agreement for the year ended
December 31, 1995.
Effective December 1, 1995, the Fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc.,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, under a transfer agency agreement
for providing personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services
for the Fund. Such compensation amounted to $398,466 for the period from
December 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995.
(B) Pursuant to the Fund's Shareholder Services Plan, the Fund reimburses
Dreyfus Service Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, an
amount not to exceed an annual rate of .25 of 1% of the value of the Fund's
average daily net assets for certain allocated expenses of providing personal
services and/or maintaining shareholder accounts. The services provided may
include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering
shareholder inquiries regarding the Fund and providing reports and other
information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts.
During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Fund was charged an aggregate of
$5,403,169 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.
(C) Each director who is not an "affiliated person" as defined in the Act
receives from the Fund an annual fee of $6,500 and an attendance fee of $500
per meeting. The Chairman of the Board receives an additional 25% of such
compensation.

December 31, 1995, and the related statement of operations for the year then
ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in
the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the years
indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are
the responsibility of the Fund'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 December 31, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian
and brokers. 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 Dreyfus Liquid Assets, Inc. at December 31, 1995, the results of
its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for
each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights
for each of the indicated years, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
