              REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Participants and Administrator of the Savings and 
Investment Plan of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company


In our opinion, the financial statements listed in the 
accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, 
the net assets available for plan benefits of the Savings 
and Investment Plan of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company 
at September 30, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in net 
assets available for plan benefits for each of the two years 
then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting 
principles.  These financial statements are the 
responsibility of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company as 
the Plan's Administrator; our responsibility is to express an 
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  
We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance 
with generally accepted auditing standards which require 
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable 
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of 
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a 
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures 
in the financial statements, assessing the accounting 
principles used and significant estimates made by 
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement 
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

NOTE 1 -- DESCRIPTION OF SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN:

  THE PLAN

          The Savings and Investment Plan of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and 
Company (the "Plan") is a defined contribution Plan which was established by 
the Company's Board of Directors and became effective September 1, 1955.

          The purpose of the Plan is to encourage and assist employees in 
following a systematic savings program suited to their individual objectives,
and to provide an opportunity for employees, at no cost to themselves, to 
become stockholders of the Company.  The Plan is a tax qualified contribu- 
tory profit sharing plan.  Any employee of the Company or its subsidiaries 
(including Du Pont Merck Pharmaceutical Company (DMPC), a general partner- 
ship which has adopted the Plan) and who has completed at least one year of 
continuous service, as determined in accordance with the Company's Service 
Rules, or who has been compensated for 1,000 or more hours in a period of 
twelve consecutive months is eligible to participate in the Plan.

          An eligible employee may authorize the Company to make a payroll 
deduction under the Plan ranging from 1% to 22% of monthly pay.  The amount 
deducted can be deposited into a before-tax or after-tax account or some 
combination thereof.  Any amounts in excess of 16% are considered to be 
cash supplemental deposits and must be deposited in the after-tax account.  
The before-tax provision is permitted under Section 401(k) of the Internal 
Revenue Code.  Nondiscrimination rules of the Internal Revenue Code require 
that the average savings rates in both the before-tax and after-tax accounts 
of "Highly Compensated" employees (as defined by the IRS) should be limited 
by the average savings rates of "Nonhighly Compensated" employees.  At 
September 30, 1993 and September 30, 1992, for the "Highly Compensated" 
employees there was no limitation on the after-tax savings rate (other than 
the Plan limit) and the allowable before-tax savings rate was 13% in both 
years.  At September 30, 1993 and September 30, 1992, the allowable 
before-tax savings rate for DMPC was 11% and 3%, respectively.  In addition, 
in accordance with the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the Plan limited contribu- 
tions by any employee to the before-tax account to $8,994 in 1993 and $8,728 
in 1992.  The Company will contribute an amount equal to 50% of the 
participant's savings deductions during a month except that no Company 
Contribution will be made for any participant's savings in excess of 6% of 
monthly pay.  In addition, subject to certain limitations, a participant is 
allowed to make lump sum savings deposits in cash or through payroll 
deduction to the Plan at any time.

          A participant with less than five years of participation credit, 
who withdraws any matched before-tax or after-tax savings will forfeit a 
portion of related Company contributions in accordance with specific Plan 
provisions.  Company contributions will be suspended for six months if a

participant withdraws any matched before-tax or after-tax savings or Com-
pany contributions contributed to the account during the last two years 
of participation or any earnings in the before-tax or after-tax accounts.  
A participant who retires from active service may elect to make a full 
account withdrawal in the later of the month in which employment was 
terminated or March of the calendar year following the year in which the 
participant attains age 70 1/2.

          Participants may borrow up to one-half of their nonforfeitable 
account balances subject to certain minimum and maximum loan limitations.  
The loans are executed by promissory notes and have a minimum term of 12 
months and a maximum term of 60 months, except for qualified residential 
loans which have a maximum term of 120 months.  The loans bear an interest 
rate equal to the average rate for secured personal loans as determined by 
the Plan administrator.  The loans are repaid over the term in monthly 
installments of principal and interest by payroll deduction.  A participant 
also has the right to repay the loan in full at any time without penalty.

  INVESTMENT FUNDS

administration of the Plan is vested in the Office of the Chairman of the 
Company which may designate one or more persons to operate and administer the

trustees and select insurers.  All administrative costs of the Plan are paid 
by the Company. 

          While the Company has not expressed any intent to terminate the 
Plan, it is free to do so at any time.  In the event the Plan is terminated, 
all participants become vested and the distribution of shares of DuPont 
common stock and all cash balances, including those resulting from the 
liquidation of the Fixed Income Fund, the Fidelity Family of Mutual Funds, 
the 3-Way Asset Allocation Fund, and Merrill Lynch Mutual Funds will be made 
based upon the valuation of the participant's account.

NOTE 2 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
          For financial reporting purposes, the assets of the Plan are 
reflected on the accrual and fair value bases of accounting.  The provi-
sions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) require 
presentation based on fair value.  The fair value of the United States 
Savings Bonds Fund is based on the redemption values for U.S. Savings Bonds 
which are published by the Department of Treasury.  U.S. Savings Bonds are 
nonredeemable for a six month period subsequent to purchase.  Such bonds 
purchased within six months prior to the September 30 period-end are valued 
at cost.  The Fixed Income Fund guaranteed investment contracts and separate 
account portfolios are stated at cost plus accrued interest, using the con- 
tracted interest rates applied to the daily account balances.  Investments 
in the Family of Mutual Funds, the DuPont Common Stock Funds, and Merrill 
Lynch Mutual Funds are recorded at the latest price on the last business day 
of the period reported.  Investments in the 3-Way Asset Allocation Fund are 
recorded at the fair market value of all assets in the Fund on the last 
business day of the period reported.  The fair value of loans to participants 
in the Loan Fund represent the outstanding principal balances of the loans.

          The unit value or price of the Fixed Income Fund, the 3-Way Asset 
Allocation Fund, Merrill Lynch Mutual Funds and the DuPont Common Stock 
Fund, reflect the prices at which participant's accounts are valued at the 
end of the period reported.  The "Net Asset Value" per share, or NAV, for 
each Fund in the Family of Mutual Funds is computed by adding the value of 
all portfolio holdings and other assets, deducting liabilities and then 
dividing the result by the number of shares outstanding at month end.  
Fidelity Investments Institutional Services Company calculates each of 
these Funds' NAV at the close of each business day of the New York Stock 
Exchange.  There is no unit value for the United States Savings Bonds Fund 
and the Loan Fund since U.S. Savings Bonds and loans are identified directly 
with participants' accounts.  The Company may, at its option, issue DuPont 
common stock in lieu of cash contributions to the DuPont Common Stock Fund 
and also in lieu of cash dividends on DuPont common stock.  The number of 
shares issued is based upon the cash value of the contributions and dividends
divided by the market value of DuPont common stock at the end of the month 
of issue.  Shares of DuPont common stock are allocated to participants in 
the DuPont Common Stock Fund based on the ratio of the amount deposited to 
each participant's account to the total amount contributed to the Fund.

          Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest 
income is recorded on the accrual basis.  Gains and losses on the sale of 
the DuPont Common Stock Fund investment securities are based on average

NOTE 4 -- REALIZED AND UNREALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES

          Realized and unrealized gains and losses are calculated based upon
historical cost of assets.  Such gains and losses are computed on a current
value basis for Form 5500.  The difference may result in a differing classi-
fication between realized and unrealized but the total gain or loss will be
unaffected.

                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)



NOTE 5 -- INCOME TAX STATUS

          The Savings and Investment Plan is a qualified plan pursuant to
Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and the related Trusts are 
exempt from federal taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code.  A favor-
able tax determination letter has been received by the Plan.  Accordingly, 
no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying 
financial statements.

          Participants in the Plan are not subject to federal income taxes 
on account balances arising from employer contributions, tax-deferred 
employee deposits, or accrued income until distributions or withdrawals 
are made.


NOTE 6 -- Change of Trustee and Record Keeper

          Effective January 1993 the record keeping of the Savings and 
Investment Plan was transferred to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith 
Incorporated (Merrill Lynch).  Concurrently with this move, Merrill Lynch 
became the Trustee for the Fixed Income, Family of Mutual, 3-Way Asset 
Allocation, DuPont Common Stock, Loan and the Merrill Lynch Mutual Funds. 
Wilmington Trust Company remained Trustee of the U.S. Savings Bond Fund until 
its elimination . The Family of Mutual Funds at Fidelity Investments 
Institutional Operations Company (Fidelity) were transferred to similar 
mutual funds at Merrill Lynch with the exception of the Magellan and 
Retirement Growth funds which were combined into the Magellan Fund.


NOTE 7 -- Wells Fargo Conversion

          In November 1992, the Plan's position in the Wells Fargo Three Way 
Asset Allocation Fund was converted from Monthly (U.S. Tactical Asset 
Allocation Fund) to Daily (U.S. Tactical Asset Allocation Fund E).  This 
conversion resulted in a change of the base unit value to $10 per share with 
a relative change in shares held to ensure no gain or loss for participants.  
The conversion was necessary to allow daily trading of the Wells Fargo Fund.
