MANAGER'S LETTER OF CASH MANAGEMENT
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SEPTEMBER 30, 2000

Dear Shareholder,

This report relates to the operation of Waddell & Reed Advisors Cash Management,
Inc. for the fiscal period ended September 30, 2000.  The following tables
provide you with information regarding the Fund's performance during that
period, while the following discussion provides you with information regarding
the Fund's performance during the twelve months ended September 30, 2000.  The
Fund's board of directors recently approved a change in the Fund's fiscal year-
end from June 30 to September 30.

At the end of 1999, the Federal Reserve was in the midst of increasing interest
rates, which was in response to an apparently "overheated" U.S. economy.  This
economic growth, it was feared, would bring increased inflation, as the demand
for goods began to outpace the production of those goods.

The Federal Reserve had already increased the federal funds rate 50 basis points
during the previous quarter, and went on to increase the funds rate another 25
basis points at its November 16, 1999 meeting.  At year end, the federal funds
rate stood at 5.5 percent.  Late in 1999, the Federal Reserve pumped large
amounts of money into the banking system in preparation for Y2K.  At the same
time, issuers of short-term securities structured their borrowings such that
they would not be in the market at the turn of the year.  This created interest-
rate volatility at year- end 1999.

The new millennium began with the U.S. economy growing at a rate the Federal
Reserve believed unsustainable.  Therefore, the Federal Reserve drained excess
money out of the system, while continuing to increase interest rates in an
attempt to slow the economy.  The federal funds rate was increased a full
percentage point during the first half of 2000.  By June 2000, there were signs
that the economy might be slowing, and as the summer progressed, there were more
signs of an economic slowdown.  Market sentiment moved from the anticipation of
higher short-term interest rates to the belief that the Federal Reserve would
hold short-term interest rates steady into the first part of the new year.

Over the course of the last year, interest rates have increased by 1.25
percentage points, which helped the Fund's overall yield increase during the
past year.  Moreover, the Fund's yield was increased by the rate volatility over
year end, which we used to our advantage.

Because the outlook initially was for increased short-term rates, we invested
the Fund's assets in securities with short maturities and in floating-rate
notes.  Securities were also purchased over year-end to take advantage of higher
yields for securities maturing in Y2K.  As interest rates increased, securities
with longer maturities were purchased to capitalize on higher yields.  As the
market sentiment has shifted to a belief that no rate changes are imminent, we
have remained in higher-yielding securities and floating rate products, which we
believe gives the Fund an advantage over commercial paper.

We kept a shorter average maturity early in the year as interest rate increases
were anticipated, and lengthened the average maturity as rates increased.  As
the short-term yield curve has flattened, we have used security selection and
floating-rate securities in an attempt to capture above average yields.

Going forward, we believe the Federal Reserve will refrain from raising interest
rates during the fourth quarter of 2000 and into 2001.  Slowing in some sectors
of the economy has given impetus to market sentiment that the Federal Reserve
will not have to increase the federal funds rate further to slow economic
growth.  However, the Federal Reserve Board has not yet given indication that it
has seen sufficient signs of slowing economic growth to a level that it deems
non-inflationary.  Therefore, it remains uncertain if this cycle of interest
rate increases has ended.
We intend to continue to seek to maintain performance through security selection
that can maximize yield while maintaining our low-risk profile.  We also intend
to invest to take advantage of changes in the short-term yield curve and plan to
continue investing in variable-rate securities; however, we intend to extend
maturities to capture higher yields as opportunities present themselves.

In closing, I would like to thank you for your investment, your continued
confidence and your support of Waddell & Reed Advisors Cash Management.


Sincerely,


Mira Stevovich,
Manager, Waddell & Reed Advisors Cash Management, Inc.

WADDELL & REED ADVISORS CASH MANAGEMENT, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2000

NOTE 1 -- Significant Accounting Policies

     Waddell & Reed Advisors Cash Management, Inc. (the "Fund") is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management
investment company.  Its investment objective is to seek maximum current income
to the extent consistent with stability of principal by investing in a portfolio
of money market instruments meeting specified quality standards.  Effective for
the fiscal period ended September 30, 2000, the Fund changes its fiscal year end
for both financial reporting and Federal income tax purposes to September 30
from June 30.  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies
consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial
statements.  The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

A.   Security valuation -- The Fund invests only in money market securities with
     maturities or irrevocable put options within 397 days.  The Fund uses the
     amortized cost method of security valuation which is accomplished by
     valuing a security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant
     amortization rate to maturity of any discount or premium.

B.   Security transactions and related investment income -- Security
     transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or
     sell is executed).  Securities gains and losses, if any, are calculated on
     the identified cost basis.  Interest income is recorded on the accrual
     basis.

C.   Federal income taxes -- It is the Fund's policy to distribute all of its
     taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify
     as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal
     Revenue Code.  Accordingly, no provision has been made for Federal income
     taxes.

D.   Dividends to shareholders -- All of the Fund's net income is declared and
     recorded by the Fund as dividends on each day to shareholders of record at
     the time of the previous determination of net asset value.  Dividends are
     declared from the total of net investment income, plus or minus realized
     gains or losses on portfolio securities.  Since the Fund does not expect to
     realize any long-term capital gains, it does not expect to pay any capital
     gains distributions.

     The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements.  Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

NOTE 2 -- Investment Management and Payments to Affiliated Persons

     The Fund pays a fee for investment management services.  The fee is
computed daily based on the net asset value at the close of business. The fee is
payable by the Fund at the annual rate of 0.40% of net assets. The Fund accrues
and pays this fee daily.

     Pursuant to assignment of the Investment Management Agreement between the
Fund and Waddell & Reed, Inc. ("W&R"), Waddell & Reed Investment Management
Company ("WRIMCO"), a wholly owned subsidiary of W&R, serves as the Fund's
investment manager.

     The Fund has an Accounting Services Agreement with Waddell & Reed Services
Company ("WARSCO"), a wholly owned subsidiary of W&R.  Under the agreement,
WARSCO acts as the agent in providing accounting services and assistance to the
Fund and pricing daily the value of shares of the Fund.  For these services, the
Fund pays WARSCO a monthly fee of one-twelfth of the annual fee shown in the
following table.

                            Accounting Services Fee
                  Average

                $1,000 and Over           $100,000

     Under the Shareholder Servicing Agreement, with respect to Class A, Class
B, Class C and Waddell & Reed Money Market C shares, the Fund pays WARSCO a
monthly fee of $1.75 for each shareholder account which was in existence at any
time during the prior month and, for Class A shares, $.75 for each shareholder
check it processes.  The Fund also reimburses W&R and WARSCO for certain out-of-
pocket costs.

     The Fund has adopted 12b-1 plans for Class B, Class C and Waddell & Reed
Money Market C shares.  Under the plans, the Fund pays W&R daily a distribution
fee not to exceed, on an annual basis, 0.75% of the net assets of the affected
class and a service fee not to exceed, on an annual basis, 0.25% of the net
assets of the affected class.  During the period ended September 30, 2000, W&R
paid no sales commissions.

     During the period ended September 30, 2000, the Distributor received
$3,370, $715 and $308 in deferred sales charges for Class B, Class C and Waddell
& Reed Money Market C shares, respectively.

     The Fund paid Directors' fees of $6,610, which are included in other
expenses.

     W&R is a subsidiary of Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc., a holding company,
and a direct subsidiary of Waddell & Reed Financial Services, Inc., a holding
company.
NOTE 3 -- Multiclass Operations

     The Fund offers three classes of shares:  Class A, Class B, Class C and
Waddell & Reed Money Market C.  Each class represents an interest in the same
assets of the Fund and differs as follows:  each class of shares has exclusive
voting rights on matters appropriately limited to that class; Class B and Class
C shares are subject to a CDSC and to an ongoing distribution and service fee;
Class B shares that have been held by a shareholder for seven years will convert
automatically, at the end of the seventh calendar year following the first year
of purchase, to Class A shares of the Fund, and such conversion will be made,
without charge or fee, on the basis of the relative net asset values of the two
classes; each class may bear differing amounts of certain class-specific
expenses; and each class has a separate exchange privilege.  A comprehensive
discussion of the terms under which shares of each class are offered is
contained in the Prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information for the
Fund.

     Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and
losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the value of their
relative net assets as of the beginning of each day adjusted for the prior day's
capital share activity.

     Waddell & Reed Money Market Class B shares were combined with Waddell &
Reed Money Market Class C shares effective March 24, 2000 and were redesignated
Waddell & Reed Money Market Class C shares.

     Transactions in capital stock are summarized below.  Amounts are in
thousands. The number of shares transacted during the periods corresponds to the
dollar amounts included in this table because shares are recorded at $1.00 per
share.
