YIELD INFORMATION
From time to time, the Fund advertises its yield and effective yield.
Both yield figures are based on historical earnings and are not intended to
indicate future performance. It can be expected that these yields will
fluctuate substantially. The yield of the Fund refers to the income generated
by an investment in the Fund over a seven-day period (which period will be
stated in the advertisement). This income is then annualized. That is, the
amount of income generated by the investment during that week is assumed to
be generated each week over a 52-week period and is shown as a percentage of
the investment. The effective yield is calculated similarly, but, when
annualized, the income earned by an investment in the Fund is assumed to be
reinvested. The effective yield will be slightly higher than the yield
because of the compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment. The Fund's
yield and effective yield may reflect absorbed expenses pursuant to any
undertaking that may be in effect. See "Management of the Fund."
Tax equivalent yield is calculated by determining the pre-tax yield
which, after being taxed at a stated rate, would be equivalent to a stated
yield or effective yield calculated as described above.
Yield information is useful in reviewing the Fund's performance, but
because yields will fluctuate, such information under certain conditions may
not provide a basis for comparison with domestic bank deposits, other
investments which pay a fixed yield for a stated period of time, or other
investment companies which may use a different method of computing yield.
Comparative performance information may be used from time to time in
advertising or marketing the Fund's shares, including data from Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc., Bank Rate Monitortrademark, N. Palm Beach, Fla.
33408, IBC/Donoghue's Money Fund Report Registration Mark, Morningstar, Inc.
and other industry publications.
DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE _ The Fund's goal is the maximization of current income
exempt from Federal income tax to the extent consistent with the preservation
of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. To accomplish this goal, the
Fund invests primarily in Municipal Obligations (described below). The Fund's
investment objective cannot be changed without approval by the holders of a
majority (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the Fund's
outstanding voting shares. There can be no assurance that the Fund's
investment objective will be achieved. Securities in which the Fund invests
may not earn as high a level of current income as long-term or lower quality
securities which generally have less liquidity, greater market risk and more
fluctuation in market value.
MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS _ Municipal Obligations are debt obligations issued by
states, territories and possessions of the United States and the District of
Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities, or
multistate agencies or authorities, the interest from which is, in the
opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, exempt from Federal income tax.
Municipal Obligations generally include debt obligations issued to obtain
funds for various public purposes as well as certain industrial development
bonds issued by or on behalf of public authorities. Municipal Obligations are
classified as general obligation bonds, revenue bonds and notes. General
obligation bonds are secured by the issuer's pledge of its faith, credit and
taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue bonds are
payable from the revenue derived from a particular facility or class of
facilities or, in some cases, from the proceeds of a special excise or other
specific revenue source, but not from the general taxing power. Tax exempt
industrial development bonds, in most cases, are revenue bonds that generally
do not carry the pledge of the credit of the issuing municipality, but
generally are guaranteed by the corporate entity on whose behalf they are
issued. Notes are short-term instruments which are obligations of the issuing
municipalities or agencies and are sold in anticipation of a bond sale,
collection of taxes or receipt of other revenues. Municipal Obligations
include municipal lease/purchase agreements which are similar to installment
purchase contracts for property or equipment issued by municipalities.
Municipal Obligations bear fixed, floating or variable rates of interest.
Page 4
MANAGEMENT POLICIES _ It is a fundamental policy of the Fund that it will
invest at least 80% of the value of its net assets (except when maintaining a
temporary defensive position) in Municipal Obligations.
The Fund seeks to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share for
purchases and redemptions. To do so, the Fund uses the amortized cost method
of valuing its securities pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, certain requirements of which are summarized as follows. In
accordance with Rule 2a-7, the Fund will maintain a dollar-weighted average
portfolio maturity of 90 days or less, purchase only instruments having
remaining maturities of 13 months or less and invest only in U.S. dollar
denominated securities determined in accordance with procedures established
by the Board of Directors to present minimal credit risks and which are rated
in one of the two highest rating categories for debt obligations by at least
two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (or one rating
organization if the instrument was rated only by one such organization) or,
if unrated, are of comparable quality as determined in accordance with
procedures established by the Board of Directors. Moreover, the Fund will
purchase commercial paper, or other instruments having only commercial paper
ratings, only if the security is rated in the highest rating category by at
least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization or, if unrated
, of comparable quality as determined in accordance with such procedures. The
nationally recognized statistical rating organizations currently rating
investments of the type the Fund may purchase are Moody's Investors Service,
Inc. ("Moody's"), Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P") and Fitch Investors
Service, Inc. ("Fitch") and their rating criteria are described in the
Appendix to the Fund's Statement of Additional Information. For further
information regarding the amortized cost method of valuing securities, see
"Determination of Net Asset Value" in the Fund's Statement of Additional
Information. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to maintain
a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.
The Fund may invest more than 25% of the value of its total assets in
Municipal Obligations which are related in such a way that an economic,
business or political development or change affecting one such security also
would affect the other securities; for example, securities the interest upon
which is paid from revenues of similar types of projects, or securities whose
issuers are located in the same state. As a result, the Fund may be subject
to greater risk as compared to a fund that does not follow this practice.
From time to time, the Fund may invest more than 25% of the value of
its total assets in industrial development bonds which, although issued by
industrial development authorities, may be backed only by the assets and
revenues of the non-governmental users. Interest on Municipal Obligations
(including certain industrial development bonds) which are specified private
activity bonds, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"), issued after August 7, 1986, while exempt from Federal income
tax, is a preference item for the purpose of the alternative minimum tax.
Where a regulated investment company receives such interest, a proportionate
share of any exempt-interest dividend paid by the investment company may be
treated as such a preference item to shareholders. The Fund may invest
without limitation in such Municipal Obligations if The Dreyfus Corporation
determines that their purchase is consistent with the Fund's investment
objective.
The Fund may purchase floating and variable rate demand notes, which
are tax exempt obligations ordinarily having stated maturities in excess of
13 months, but which permit the holder to demand payment of principal at any
time, or at specified intervals not exceeding 13 months, in each case upon
not more than 30 days' notice. Variable rate demand notes include master
demand notes which are obligations that permit the Fund to invest fluctuating
amounts, at varying rates of interest, pursuant to direct arrangements
between the Fund, as lender, and the borrower. These notes permit daily
changes in the amount borrowed. Frequently, such obligations are secured by
letters of credit or other credit support arrangements provided by banks. Use
of letters of credit or other credit support arrangements will not adversely
affect the tax exempt status of these obligations. Because these notes are
direct lending arrangements between the lender and borrower, it is not
contemplated that such instruments generally will be traded, and there
generally is no secondary market for these notes, although they are
redeemable at face value, plus accrued interest. Accordingly, where these
notes
Page 5
are not secured by letters of credit or other credit support arrangements,
the Fund's right to redeem is dependent on the ability of the borrower to pay
principal and interest on demand. Each note purchased by the Fund will meet
the quality criteria established for the purchase of Municipal Obligations.
The Dreyfus Corporation, on behalf of the Fund, will consider on
an ongoing basis the creditworthiness of the issuers of the floating and
variable rate demand notes in the Fund's portfolio.
The Fund may purchase from financial institutions participation
interests in Municipal Obligations (such as industrial development bonds and
municipal lease/purchase agreements). A participation interest gives the Fund
an undivided interest in the Municipal Obligation in the proportion that the
Fund's participation interest bears to the total principal amount of the
Municipal Obligation. These instruments may have fixed, floating or variable
rates of interest, with remaining maturities of 13 months or less. If the
participation interest is unrated, or has been given a rating below that
which otherwise is permissible for purchase by the Fund, the participation
interest will be backed by an irrevocable letter of credit or guarantee of a
bank that the Board of Directors has determined meets the prescribed quality
standards for banks set forth below, or the payment obligation otherwise will
be collateralized by U.S. Government securities. For certain participation
interests, the Fund will have the right to demand payment, on not more than
seven days' notice, for all or any part of the Fund's participation interest
in the Municipal Obligation, plus accrued interest. As to these instruments,
the Fund intends to exercise its right to demand payment only upon a default
under the terms of the Municipal Obligation, as needed to provide liquidity
to meet redemptions, or to maintain or improve the quality of the Fund's
investment portfolio.
The Fund may acquire "stand-by commitments" with respect to Municipal
Obligations held in its portfolio. Under a stand-by commitment, the Fund
obligates a broker, dealer or bank to repurchase, at the Fund's option,
specified securities at a specified price and, in this respect, stand-by
commitments are comparable to put options. The exercise of a stand-by
commitment therefore is subject to the ability of the seller to make payment
on demand. The Fund will acquire stand-by commitments solely to facilitate
portfolio liquidity and does not intend to exercise its rights thereunder for
trading purposes. The Fund may pay for stand-by commitments if such action is
deemed necessary, thus increasing to a degree the cost of the underlying
Municipal Obligation and similarly decreasing such security's yield to
investors. Gains realized in connection with the acquisition of stand-by
commitments will be taxable.
The Fund may purchase tender option bonds. A tender option bond is a
Municipal Obligation (generally held pursuant to a custodial arrangement)
having a relatively long maturity and bearing interest at a fixed rate
substantially higher than prevailing short-term tax exempt rates, that has
been coupled with the agreement of a third party, such as a bank,
broker-dealer or other financial institution, pursuant to which such
institution grants the security holders the option, at periodic intervals, to
tender their securities to the institution and receive the face value
thereof. As consideration for providing the option, the financial institution
receives periodic fees equal to the difference between the Municipal
Obligation's fixed coupon rate and the rate, as determined by a remarketing
or similar agent at or near the commencement of such period, that would cause
the securities, coupled with the tender option, to trade at par on the date
of such determination. Thus, after payment of this fee, the security holder
effectively holds a demand obligation that bears interest at the prevailing
short-term tax exempt rate. The Dreyfus Corporation, on behalf of the Fund,
will consider on an ongoing basis the creditworthiness of the issuer of the
underlying Municipal Obligation, of any custodian and of the third party
provider of the tender option. In certain instances and for certain tender
option bonds, the option may be terminable in the event of a default in
payment of principal or interest on the underlying Municipal Obligations and
for other reasons.
The Fund may invest up to 10% of the value of its net assets in
securities as to which a liquid trading market does not exist, provided such
investments are consistent with the Fund's investment objective. Such
securities may include securities that are not readily marketable, such as
certain securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on
resale, and repurchase agreements providing for settle-
Page 6
ment in more than seven days after notice. As to these securities, the Fund
is subject to a risk that should the Fund desire to sell them when a ready
buyer is not available at a price the Fund deems representative of their
value, the value of the Fund's net assets could be adversely affected.
From time to time, on a temporary basis other than for temporary
defensive purposes (but not to exceed 20% of the value of the Fund's net
assets) or for temporary defensive purposes, the Fund may invest in taxable
short-term investments ("Taxable Investments") consisting of: notes of
issuers having, at the time of purchase, a quality rating within the two
highest grades of Moody's, S&P or Fitch; obligations of the U.S. Government,
its agencies or instrumentalities; commercial paper rated not lower than P-1
by Moody's, A-1 by S&P or F-1 by Fitch; certificates of deposit of U.S.
domestic banks, including foreign branches of domestic banks, with assets of
one billion dollars or more; time deposits; bankers' acceptances and other
short-term bank obligations; and repurchase agreements in respect of any of
the foregoing. Dividends paid by the Fund that are attributable to income
earned by the Fund from Taxable Investments will be taxable to investors. See
"Dividends, Distributions and Taxes." Except for temporary defensive
purposes, at no time will more than 20% of the value of the Fund's net assets
be invested in Taxable Investments. If the Fund purchases Taxable
Investments, it will value them using the amortized cost method and comply
with the provisions of Rule 2a-7 relating to purchases of taxable
instruments. Under normal market conditions, the Fund anticipates that not
more than 5% of its total assets will be invested in any one category of
Taxable Investments. Taxable Investments are more fully described in the
Statement of Additional Information, to which reference hereby is made.
CERTAIN FUNDAMENTAL POLICIES _ The Fund may (i) borrow money from banks, but
only for temporary or emergency purposes, in an amount up to (a) 15% of the
Fund's total assets (including the amount borrowed) valued at the lesser of
cost or market, less liabilities (not including the amount borrowed) at the
time the borrowing is made or (b) one-third of the value of its total assets
(including the amount borrowed) in order to meet redemption requests which
otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities; (ii) pledge,
hypothecate, mortgage or otherwise encumber its assets, but only to secure
borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes; (iii) invest up to 5% of its
assets in the obligations of any one issuer, except that up to 25% of the
value of the Fund's total assets may be invested, and securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities may be
purchased, without regard to any such limitation; and (iv) invest up to 25%
of its assets in the securities of issuers in any single industry, provided
that there is no such limitation on the purchase of Municipal Obligations and
obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or
instrumentalities. This paragraph describes fundamental policies that cannot
be changed without approval by the holders of a majority (as defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940) of the Fund's outstanding voting shares. See
"Investment Objective and Management Policies _ Investment Restrictions" in
the Statement of Additional Information.
INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS _ Even though interest-bearing securities are
investments which promise a stable stream of income, the prices of such
securities are inversely affected by changes in interest rates and,
therefore, are subject to the risk of market price fluctuations. The values
of fixed-income securities also may be affected by changes in the credit
rating or financial condition of the issuing entities.
New issues of Municipal Obligations usually are offered on a
when-issued basis, which means that delivery and payment for such Municipal
Obligations ordinarily take place within 45 days after the date of the
commitment to purchase. The payment obligation and the interest rate that
will be received on the Municipal Obligations are fixed at the time the Fund
enters into the commitment. The Fund will make commitments to purchase such
Municipal Obligations only with the intention of actually acquiring the securi
ties, but the Fund may sell these securities before the settlement date if it
is deemed advisable, although any gain realized on such sale would be
taxable. The Fund will not accrue income in respect of a when-issued security
prior to its stated delivery date. No additional when-issued commitments will
be made if more than 20% of the Fund's net assets would be so committed.
Page 7
Municipal Obligations purchased on a when-issued basis and the
securities held in the Fund's portfolio are subject to changes in value (both
generally changing in the same way, i.e., appreciating when interest rates
decline and depreciating when interest rates rise) based upon the public's
perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and changes, real or
anticipated, in the level of interest rates. Municipal Obligations purchased
on a when-issued basis may expose the Fund to risk because they may experience
such fluctuations prior to their actual delivery. Purchasing Municipal
Obligations on a when-issued basis can involve the additional risk that the
yield available in the market when the delivery takes place actually may be
higher than that obtained in the transaction itself. A segregated account of
the Fund consisting of cash, cash equivalents or U.S. Government securities
or other high quality liquid debt securities at least equal at all times to
the amount of the when-issued commitments will be established and maintained
at the Fund's custodian bank. Purchasing Municipal Obligations on a
when-issued basis when the Fund is fully or almost fully invested may result
in greater potential fluctuation in the value of the Fund's net assets and
its net asset value per share.
Certain municipal lease/purchase obligations in which the Fund may
invest may contain "non-appropriation" clauses which provide that the
municipality has no obligation to make lease payments in future years unless
money is appropriated for such purpose on a yearly basis. Although
"non-appropriation" lease/purchase obligations are secured by the leased
property, disposition of the leased property in the event of foreclosure
might prove difficult. In evaluating the credit quality of a municipal
lease/purchase obligation that is unrated, The Dreyfus Corporation will
consider, on an ongoing basis, a number of factors including the likelihood
that the issuing municipality will discontinue appropriating funding for the
leased property.
Certain provisions in the Code relating to the issuance of Municipal
Obligations may reduce the volume of Municipal Obligations qualifying for
Federal tax exemption. One effect of these provisions could be to increase
the cost of Municipal Obligations available for purchase by the Fund and thus
reduce available yield. Shareholders should consult their tax advisers
concerning the effect of these provisions on an investment in the Fund.
Proposals that may restrict or eliminate the income tax exemption for
interest on Municipal Obligations may be introduced in the future. If any
such proposal were enacted that would reduce the availability of Municipal
Obligations for investment by the Fund so as to adversely affect Fund
shareholders, the Fund would reevaluate its investment objective and policies
and submit possible changes in the Fund's structure to shareholders for their
consideration. If legislation were enacted that would treat a type of
Municipal Obligation as taxable, the Fund would treat such security as a
permissible Taxable Investment within the applicable limits set forth herein.
Investment decisions for the Fund are made independently from those
of other investment companies advised by The Dreyfus Corporation. However, if
such other investment companies are prepared to invest in, or desire to
dispose of, Municipal Obligations or Taxable Investments at the same time as
the Fund, available investments or opportunities for sales will be allocated
equitably to each investment company. In some cases, this procedure may
adversely affect the size of the position obtained for or disposed of by the
Fund or the price paid or received by the Fund.
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND
The Dreyfus Corporation, located at 200 Park Avenue, New York, New
York 10166, was formed in 1947 and serves as the Fund's investment adviser.
The Dreyfus Corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mellon Bank, N.A.,
which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mellon Bank Corporation ("Mellon"). As
of August 31, 1995, The Dreyfus Corporation managed or administered
approximately $80 billion in assets for more than 1.8 million investor
accounts nationwide.
The Dreyfus Corporation supervises and assists in the overall
management of the Fund's affairs under a Management Agreement with the Fund,
subject to the overall authority of the Fund's Board of Directors in
accordance with Maryland law.
Page 8
Mellon is a publicly owned multibank holding company incorporated
under Pennsylvania law in 1971 and registered under the Federal Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended. Mellon provides a comprehensive range of
financial products and services in domestic and selected international
markets. Mellon is among the twenty-five largest bank holding companies in
the United States based on total assets. Mellon's principal wholly-owned
subsidiaries are Mellon Bank, N.A., Mellon Bank (DE) National Association,
Mellon Bank (MD), The Boston Company, Inc., AFCOCredit Corporation and a
number of companies known as Mellon Financial Services Corporations. Through
its subsidiaries, including The Dreyfus Corporation, Mellon managed more than
$203 billion in assets as of June 30, 1995, including approximately $73
billion in mutual fund assets. As of June 30, 1995, Mellon, through various
subsidiaries, provided non-investment services, such as custodial and
administration services, for more than $707 billion in assets, including
approximately $71 billion in mutual fund assets.
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 1995, the Fund paid The Dreyfus
Corporation a monthly management fee at the annual rate of .50 of 1% of the
value of the Fund's average daily net assets. From time to time, The Dreyfus
Corporation may waive receipt of its fees and/or voluntarily assume certain
expenses of the Fund, which would have the effect of lowering the overall
expense ratio of the Fund and increasing yield to investors at the time such
amounts are waived or assumed, as the case may be. The Fund will not pay The
Dreyfus Corporation at a later time for any amounts it may waive, nor will
the Fund reimburse The Dreyfus Corporation for any amounts it may assume.
The Dreyfus Corporation may pay the Fund's distributor for
shareholder services from The Dreyfus Corporation's own assets, including
past profits but not including the management fee paid by the Fund. The
Fund's distributor may use part or all of such payments to pay securities
dealers or others in respect of these services.
The Fund's distributor is Premier Mutual Fund Services, Inc. (the
"Distributor"), located at One Exchange Place, Boston,Massachusetts 02109.
The Distributor's ultimate parent company is Boston Institutional Group, Inc.
The Shareholder Services Group, Inc., a subsidiary of First Data
Corporation, P.O. Box 9671, Providence, Rhode Island 02940-9671, is the
Fund's Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent (the "Transfer Agent"). The
Bank of New York, 90 Washington Street, New York, New York 10286, is the
Fund's Custodian.
HOW TO BUY FUND SHARES
Fund shares are sold without a sales charge. You may be charged a
nominal fee if you effect transactions in Fund shares through a securities
dealer, bank or other financial institution. Stock certificates are issued
only upon your written request. No certificates are issued for fractional
shares. It is not recommended that the Fund be used as a vehicle for Keogh,
IRA or other qualified plans. The Fund reserves the right to reject any
purchase order.
The minimum initial investment is $2,500, or $1,000 if you are a
client of a securities dealer, bank or other financial institution which has
made an aggregate minimum initial purchase for its customers of $2,500.
Subsequent investments must be at least $100. The initial investment must be
accompanied by the Fund's Account Application. For full-time or part-time
employees of The Dreyfus Corporation or any of its affiliates or
subsidiaries, directors of The Dreyfus Corporation, Board members of a fund ad
vised by The Dreyfus Corporation, including members of the Fund's Board, or
the spouse or minor child of any of the foregoing, the minimum initial
investment is $1,000. For full-time or part-time employees of The Dreyfus
Corporation or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries who elect to have a
portion of their pay directly deposited into their Fund account, the minimum
initial investment is $50. The Fund reserves the right to vary further the
initial and subsequent investment minimum requirements at any time. Fund
shares also are offered without regard to the minimum initial investment
requirements through Dreyfus-AUTOMATIC Asset Builder, Dreyfus
Page 9
Government Direct Deposit Privilege or Dreyfus Payroll Savings Plan pursuant
to the Dreyfus Step Program described under "Shareholder Services." These
services enable you to make regularly scheduled investments and may provide
you with a convenient way to invest for long-term financial goals. You should
be aware, however, that periodic investment plans do not guarantee a profit
and will not protect an investor against loss in a declining market.
You may purchase Fund shares by check or wire, or through the Dreyfus
TELETRANSFER Privilege described below. Checks should be made payable to "The
Dreyfus Family of Funds." Payments to open new accounts which are mailed
should be sent to The Dreyfus Family of Funds, P.O. Box 9387, Providence,
Rhode Island 02940-9387, together with your Account Application. For
subsequent investments, your Fund account number should appear on the check
and an investment slip should be enclosed and sent to The Dreyfus Family of
Funds, P.O. Box 105, Newark, New Jersey 07101-0105. Neither initial nor
subsequent investments should be made by third party check. Purchase orders
may be delivered in person only to a Dreyfus Financial Center. THESE ORDERS
WILL BE FORWARDED TO THE FUND AND WILL BE PROCESSED ONLY UPON RECEIPT
THEREBY. For the location of the nearest Dreyfus Financial Center, please
call one of the telephone numbers listed under "General Information."
Wire payments may be made if your bank account is in a commercial
bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve System or any other bank having
a correspondent bank in New York City. Immediately available funds may be
transmitted by wire to The Bank of New York, DDA#8900052368/Dreyfus Municipal
Money Market Fund, Inc., for purchase of Fund shares in your name. The wire
must include your Fund account number (for new accounts, your Taxpayer
Identification Number ("TIN") should be included instead), account
registration and dealer number, if applicable. If your initial purchase of
Fund shares is by wire, please call 1-800-645-6561 after completing your wire
payment to obtain your Fund account number.Please include your Fund account
number on the Fund's Account Application and promptly mail the Account
Application to the Fund, as no redemptions will be permitted until the
Account Application is received. You may obtain further information about
remitting funds in this manner from your bank. All payments should be made in
U.S. dollars and, to avoid fees and delays, should be drawn only on U.S.
banks. A charge will be imposed if any check used for investment in your
account does not clear. The Fund makes available to certain large
institutions the ability to issue purchase instructions through compatible
computer facilities.
Subsequent investments also may be made by electronic transfer of
funds from an account maintained in a bank or other domestic financial
institution that is an Automated Clearing House member. You must direct the
institution to transmit immediately available funds through the Automated
Clearing House to The Bank of New York with instructions to credit your Fund
account. The instructions must specify your Fund account registration and
your Fund account number PRECEDED BY THE DIGITS "1111."
Fund shares are sold on a continuous basis at the net asset value per
share next determined after an order in proper form and Federal Funds (monies
of member banks within the Federal Reserve System which are held on deposit
at a Federal Reserve Bank) are received by the Transfer Agent. If you do not
remit Federal Funds, your payment must be converted into Federal Funds. This
usually occurs within one business day of receipt of a bank wire and within
two business days of receipt of a check drawn on a member bank of the Federal
Reserve System. Checks drawn on banks which are not members of the Federal
Reserve System may take considerably longer to convert into Federal Funds.
Prior to receipt of Federal Funds, your money will not be invested.
The Fund's net asset value per share is determined as of 12:00 Noon,
New York time, on each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for
business. Net asset value per share is computed by dividing the value of the
Fund's net assets (i.e., the value of its assets less liabilities) by the
total number of shares outstanding. See "Determination of Net Asset Value" in
the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.
Page 10
If your payments are received in or converted into Federal Funds by
12:00 Noon, New York time, by the Transfer Agent, you will receive the
dividend declared that day. If your payments are received in or converted
into Federal Funds after 12:00 Noon, New York time, by the Transfer Agent,
you will begin to accrue dividends on the following business day.
Qualified institutions may telephone orders for the purchase of Fund
shares. These orders will become effective at the price determined at 12:00
Noon, New York time, and the shares purchased will receive the dividend on
Fund shares declared on that day, if the telephone order is placed by 12:00
Noon, New York time, and Federal Funds are received by 4:00 p.m., New York
time, on that day.
Federal regulations require that you provide a certified TIN upon
opening or reopening an account. See "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes" and
the Fund's Account Application for further information concerning this
requirement. Failure to furnish a certified TIN to the Fund could subject you
to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS").
DREYFUS TELETRANSFER PRIVILEGE _ You may purchase shares (minimum $500,
maximum $150,000 per day) by telephone if you have checked the appropriate
box and supplied the necessary information on the Fund's Account Application
or have filed a Shareholder Services Form with the Transfer Agent. The
proceeds will be transferred between the bank account designated in one of
these documents and your Fund account. Only a bank account maintained in a
domestic financial institution which is an Automated Clearing House member
may be so designated. The Fund may modify or terminate this Privilege at any
time or charge a service fee upon notice to shareholders. No such fee
currently is contemplated.
If you have selected the Dreyfus TELETRANSFER Privilege, you may
request a Dreyfus TELETRANSFER purchase of shares by telephoning
1-800-221-4060, if you are calling from overseas, call 1-401-455-3306.
PROCEDURES FOR MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS _ Special procedures have been designed for
banks and other institutions that wish to open multiple accounts. The
institution may open a single master account by filing one application with
the Transfer Agent, and may open individual sub-accounts at the same time or
at some later date. For further information, please refer to the Statement of
Additional Information.
SHAREHOLDER SERVICES
FUND EXCHANGES _ You may purchase, in exchange for shares of the Fund,
shares of certain other funds managed or administered by The Dreyfus
Corporation, to the extent such shares are offered for sale in your state of
residence. These funds have different investment objectives which may be of
interest to you. If you desire to use this service, please call
1-800-645-6561 to determine if it is available and whether any conditions are
imposed on its use.
To request an exchange, you must give exchange instructions to the
Transfer Agent in writing or by telephone. Before any exchange, you must
obtain and should review a copy of the current prospectus of the fund into
which the exchange is being made. Prospectuses may be obtained by calling
1-800-645-6561. Except in the case of personal retirement plans, the shares
being exchanged must have a current value of at least $500; furthermore, when
establishing a new account by exchange, the shares being exchanged must have
a value of at least the minimum initial investment required for the fund into
which the exchange is being made. The ability to issue exchange instructions
by telephone is given to all shareholders automatically, unless you check the
applicable "No" box on the Account Application, indicating that you
specifically refuse this Privilege. The Telephone Exchange Privilege may be
established for an existing account by written request, signed by all
shareholders on the account or by a separate signed Shareholder Services
Form, also available by calling 1-800-645-6561. If you have established the
Telephone Exchange Privilege, you may telephone exchange instructions by
calling 1-800-221-4060 or, if you are calling from overseas, call
1-401-455-3306. See "How to Redeem Fund Shares_Procedures." Upon an exchange
into a new account, the following shareholder services and privileges, as
applicable and where available, will be automatically carried over to the fund
into
Page 11
which the exchange is made: Telephone Exchange Privilege, Check Redemption
Privilege, Wire Redemption Privilege, Telephone Redemption Privilege, Dreyfus
TELETRANSFER Privilege, and the dividend/capital gain distribution option
(except for Dreyfus Dividend Sweep) selected by the investor.
Shares will be exchanged at the next determined net asset value;
however, a sales load may be charged with respect to exchanges into funds
sold with a sales load. If you are exchanging into a fund that charges a
sales load, you may qualify for share prices which do not include the sales
load or which reflect a reduced sales load, if the shares of the fund from
which you are exchanging were: (a) purchased with a sales load, (b) acquired
by a previous exchange from shares purchased with a sales load, or (c)
acquired through reinvestment of dividends or distributions paid with respect
to the foregoing categories of shares. To qualify, at the time of your
exchange you must notify the Transfer Agent. Any such qualification is
subject to confirmation of your holdings through a check of appropriate
records. See "Shareholder Services" in the Statement of Additional
Information. No fees currently are charged shareholders directly in
connection with exchanges, although the Fund reserves the right, upon not less
than 60 days' written notice, to charge shareholders a nominal fee in
accordance with rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Fund reserves the right to reject any exchange request in whole or in
part. The availability of Fund Exchanges may be modified or terminated at any
time upon notice to shareholders.
The exchange of shares of one fund for shares of another is treated
for Federal income tax purposes as a sale of the shares given in exchange by
the shareholder and, therefore, an exchanging shareholder may realize a
taxable gain or loss.
DREYFUS AUTO-EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE _ Dreyfus Auto-Exchange Privilege enables
you to invest regularly (on a semi-monthly, monthly, quarterly or annual
basis), in exchange for shares of the Fund, in shares of certain other funds
in the Dreyfus Family of Funds of which you are currently an investor. The
amount you designate, which can be expressed either in terms of a specific
dollar or share amount ($100 minimum), will be exchanged automatically on the
first and/or fifteenth of the month according to the schedule you have
selected. Shares will be exchanged at the then-current net asset value;
however, a sales load may be charged with respect to exchanges into funds
sold with a sales load. See "Shareholder Services" in the Statement of
Additional Information. The right to exercise this Privilege may be modified
or cancelled by the Fund or the Transfer Agent. You may modify or cancel your
exercise of this Privilege at any time by writing to The Dreyfus Family of
Funds, P.O. Box 9671, Providence, Rhode Island 02940-9671. The Fund may charge
a service fee for the use of this Privilege. No such fee currently is
contemplated. The exchange of shares of one fund for shares of another is
treated for Federal income tax purposes as a sale of the shares given in
exchange by the shareholder, and, therefore, an exchanging shareholder may
realize a taxable gain or loss. For more information concerning this
Privilege and the funds in the Dreyfus Family of Funds eligible to
participate in this Privilege, or to obtain a Dreyfus Auto-Exchange
Authorization Form, please call toll free 1-800-645-6561.

specified amount, and Fund shares will be purchased, once a month, on either

House member may be so designated. To establish a Dreyfus-Automatic Asset
Builder account, you must file an authorization form with the Transfer Agent.
You may obtain the necessary authorization form by calling 1-800-645-6561.

You may obtain the necessary authorization form by calling
1-800-645-6561. You may change the amount of purchase or cancel the
authorization only by written notification to your employer. It is the sole
responsibility of your employer, not the Distributor, The Dreyfus
Corporation, the Fund, the Transfer Agent or any other person, to arrange for
transactions under the Dreyfus Payroll Savings Plan. The Fund may modify or
terminate this Privilege at any time or charge a service fee. No such fee
currently is contemplated.
DREYFUS STEP PROGRAM _ Dreyfus Step Program enables you to purchase Fund

You may terminate your participation in this Program at any time by
discontinuing your participation in Dreyfus-AUTOMATIC Asset Builder, Dreyfus
Government Direct Deposit Privilege or Dreyfus Payroll Savings Plan, as the

modify or terminate this Program at any time.
DREYFUS DIVIDEND OPTIONS _ Dreyfus Dividend Sweep enables you to invest
automatically dividends or dividends and capital gain distributions, if any,
paid by the Fund in shares of another fund in the Dreyfus Family of Funds of
which you are a shareholder. Shares of the other fund will be purchased at
the then-current net asset value; however, a sales load may be charged with
respect to investments in shares of a fund sold with a sales load. If you are
investing in a fund that charges a sales load, you may qualify for share price
s which do not include the sales load or which reflect a reduced sales load.
If you are investing in a fund that charges a contingent deferred sales
charge, the shares purchased will be subject on redemption to the contingent
deferred sales charge, if any, applicable to the purchased shares. See
"Shareholder Services" in the Statement of Additional Information. Dreyfus
Dividend ACH permits you to transfer electronically dividends or dividends
and capital gain distributions, if any, from the Fund to a designated bank
account. Only an account maintained at a domestic financial institution which
is an Automated Clearing House member may be so designated. Banks may charge
a fee for this service.
For more information concerning these privileges or to request a
Dividend Options Form, please call toll free 1-800-645-6561. You may cancel
these privileges by mailing written notification to The Dreyfus Family of
Funds, P.O. Box 9671, Providence, Rhode Island 02940-9671. To select a new
fund after cancellation, you must submit a new Dividend Options Form.
Enrollment in or cancellation of these privileges is effective three business

Fund or the Transfer Agent. Shares for which certificates have been issued
may not be redeemed through the Automatic Withdrawal Plan.
HOW TO REDEEM FUND SHARES
GENERAL _ You may request redemption of your shares at any time. Redemption
requests should be transmitted to the Transfer Agent as described below. When
a request is received in proper form, the Fund will redeem the shares at the
next determined net asset value.
The Fund imposes no charges when shares are redeemed. Securities
dealers, banks and other financial institutions may charge their clients a
nominal fee for effecting redemptions of Fund shares. Any certificates
representing Fund shares being redeemed must be submitted with the redemption
request. The value of the shares redeemed may be more or less than their
original cost, depending upon the Fund's then-current net asset value.
If a redemption request in proper form is received by the Transfer
Agent by 12:00 Noon, New York time, on a business day, shares will be
redeemed at the net asset value determined on that day. If the request is
received later that day by the Transfer Agent, shares will be redeemed at the
next determined net asset value.
The Fund ordinarily will make payment for all shares redeemed within
seven days after receipt by the Transfer Agent of a redemption request in
proper form, except as provided by the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. HOWEVER, IF YOU HAVE PURCHASED FUND SHARES BY CHECK, BY DREYFUS
TELETRANSFER PRIVILEGE OR THROUGH DREYFUS-AUTOMATIC ASSET BUILDER AND
SUBSEQUENTLY SUBMIT A WRITTEN REDEMPTION REQUEST TO THE TRANSFER AGENT, YOUR
REDEMPTION WILL BE EFFECTIVE AND THE REDEMPTION PROCEEDS WILL BE TRANSMITTED
TO YOU PROMPTLY UPON BANK CLEARANCE OF YOUR PURCHASE CHECK, DREYFUS
TELETRANSFER PURCHASE OR DREYFUS-AUTOMATIC ASSET BUILDER ORDER, WHICH MAY
TAKE UP TO EIGHT BUSINESS DAYS OR MORE. IN ADDITION, THE FUND WILL NOT HONOR
REDEMPTION CHECKS UNDER THE CHECK REDEMPTION PRIVILEGE, AND WILL REJECT
REQUESTS TO REDEEM SHARES BY WIRE OR TELEPHONE OR PURSUANT TO THE DREYFUS
TELETRANSFER PRIVILEGE, FOR A PERIOD OF EIGHT BUSINESS DAYS AFTER RECEIPT BY
THE TRANSFER AGENT OF THE PURCHASE CHECK, THE DREYFUS TELETRANSFER PURCHASE
OR THE DREYFUS-AUTOMATIC ASSET BUILDER ORDER AGAINST WHICH SUCH REDEMPTION IS
REQUESTED. THESE PROCEDURES WILL NOT APPLY IF YOUR SHARES WERE PURCHASED BY
WIRE PAYMENT, OR IF YOU OTHERWISE HAVE A SUFFICIENT COLLECTED BALANCE IN YOUR
ACCOUNT TO COVER THE REDEMPTION REQUEST. PRIOR TO THE TIME ANY REDEMPTION IS
EFFECTIVE, DIVIDENDS ON SUCH SHARES WILL ACCRUE AND BE PAYABLE, AND YOU WILL
BE ENTITLED TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS OF BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP. Fund shares
will not be redeemed until the Transfer Agent has received your Account
Application.
The Fund reserves the right to redeem your account upon not less than
45 days' written notice if your account's net asset value is $500 or less and
remains so during the notice period.
PROCEDURES _ You may redeem shares by using the regular redemption procedure
through the Transfer Agent, the Check Redemption Privilege, the Wire
Redemption Privilege, the Telephone Redemption Privilege, or the Dreyfus
TELETRANSFER Privilege. The Fund makes available to certain large institutions
the ability to issue redemption instructions through compatible computer
facilities.
Page 14
You may redeem Fund shares by telephone if you have checked the
appropriate box on the Fund's Account Application or have filed a Shareholder
Services Form with the Transfer Agent. If you select a telephone redemption
privilege or telephone exchange privilege (which is granted automatically
unless you refuse it), you authorize the Transfer Agent to act on telephone
instructions from any person representing himself or herself to be you, and
reasonably believed by the Transfer Agent to be genuine. The Fund will
require the Transfer Agent to employ reasonable procedures, such as requiring
a form of personal identification, to confirm that instructions are genuine
and, if it does not follow such procedures, the Fund or the Transfer Agent
may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions.
Neither the Fund nor the Transfer Agent will be liable for following
telephone instructions reasonably believed to be genuine.
During times of drastic economic or market conditions, you may
experience difficulty in contacting the Transfer Agent by telephone to
request a redemption or exchange of Fund shares. In such cases, you should
consider using the other redemption procedures described herein. Use of these
other redemption procedures may result in your redemption request being
processed at a later time than it would have been if telephone redemption had
been used.
REGULAR REDEMPTION _ Under the regular redemption procedure, you may redeem
shares by written request mailed to The Dreyfus Family of Funds, P.O. Box
9671, Providence, Rhode Island 02940-9671. Redemption requests may be
delivered in person only to a Dreyfus Financial Center. THESE REQUESTS WILL
BE FORWARDED TO THE FUND AND WILL BE PROCESSED ONLY UPON RECEIPT THEREBY. For
the location of the nearest Dreyfus Financial Center, please call one of the
telephone numbers listed under "General Information." Redemption requests
must be signed by each shareholder, including each owner of a joint account,
and each signature must be guaranteed. The Transfer Agent has adopted
standards and procedures pursuant to which signature-guarantees in proper
form generally will be accepted from domestic banks, brokers, dealers, credit
unions, national securities exchanges, registered securities associations,
clearing agencies and savings associations, as well as from participants in
the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program, the Securities
Transfer Agents Medallion Program ("STAMP") and the Stock Exchanges Medallion
Program. If you have any questions with respect to signature-guarantees,
please call one of the telephone numbers listed under "General Information."
Redemption proceeds of at least $1,000 will be wired to any member
bank of the Federal Reserve System in accordance with a written
signature-guaranteed request.
CHECK REDEMPTION PRIVILEGE _ You may request on the Account Application,
Shareholder Services Form or by later written request that the Fund provide
Redemption Checks drawn on the Fund's account. Redemption Checks may be made
payable to the order of any person in the amount of $500 or more. Redemption
Checks should not be used to close your account. Redemption Checks are free,
but the Transfer Agent will impose a fee for stopping payment of a Redemption
Check upon your request or if the Transfer Agent cannot honor a Redemption
Check because of insufficient funds or other valid reason. You should date
your Redemption Checks with the current date when you write them. Please do
not postdate your Redemption Checks. If you do, the Transfer Agent will honor,
upon presentment, even if presented before the date of the check, all
postdated Redemption Checks which are dated within six months of presentment
for payment, if they are otherwise in good order. Shares for which
certificates have been issued may not be redeemed by Redemption Check. This
Privilege may be modified or terminated at any time by the Fund or the
Transfer Agent upon notice to shareholders.
WIRE REDEMPTION PRIVILEGE _ You may request by wire or telephone that
redemption proceeds (minimum $1,000) be wired to your account at a bank which
is a member of the Federal Reserve System, or a correspondent bank if your
bank is not a member. To establish the Wire Redemption Privilege, you must
check the appropriate box and supply the necessary information on the Fund's
Account Application or file a Shareholder Services Form with the Transfer
Agent. You may direct that redemption proceeds be paid by
Page 15
check (maximum $150,000 per day)made out to the owners of record and mailed
to your address. Redemption proceeds of less than $1,000 will be paid
automatically by check. Holders of jointly registered Fund or bank accounts
may have redemption proceeds of not more than $250,000 wired within any
30-day period. You may telephone redemption requests by calling
1-800-221-4060 or, if you are calling from overseas, call 1-401-455-3306.
The Fund reserves the right to refuse any redemption request, including
requests made shortly after a change of address, and may limit the amount
involved or the number of such requests. This Privilege may be modified or
terminated at any time by the Transfer Agent or the Fund. The Fund's Statement
of Additional Information sets forth instructions for transmitting redemption
requests by wire. Shares for which certificates have been issued are not
eligible for this Privilege.
TELEPHONE REDEMPTION PRIVILEGE _ You may redeem Fund shares (maximum
$150,000 per day) by telephone if you have checked the appropriate box on the

your address. You may telephone redemption instructions by calling
1-800-221-4060 or, if you are calling from overseas, call 1-401-455-3306. The
Fund reserves the right to refuse any request made by telephone, including
requests made shortly after a change of address, and may limit the amount
involved or the number of telephone redemption requests. This Privilege may
be modified or terminated at any time by the Transfer Agent or the Fund.
Shares for which certificates have been issued are not eligible for this
Privilege.
DREYFUS TELETRANSFER PRIVILEGE _ You may redeem shares (minimum $500 per
day) by telephone if you have checked the appropriate box and supplied the
necessary information on the Fund's Account Application or have filed a
Shareholder Services Form with the Transfer Agent. The proceeds will be
transferred between your Fund account and the bank account designated in one
of these documents. Only such an account maintained in a domestic financial
institution which is an Automated Clearing House member may be so designated.
Redemption proceeds will be on deposit in your account at an Automated
Clearing House member bank ordinarily two days after receipt of the
redemption request or, at your request, paid by check (maximum $150,000 per
day) and mailed to your address. Holders of jointly registered Fund or bank
accounts may redeem through the Dreyfus TELETRANSFER Privilege for transfer
to their bank account not more than $250,000 within any 30-day period. The
Fund reserves the right to refuse any request made by telephone, including
requests made shortly after a change of address, and may limit the amount
involved or the number of such requests. The Fund may modify or terminate
this Privilege at any time or charge a service fee upon notice to
shareholders. No such fee currently is contemplated.
If you have selected the Dreyfus TELETRANSFER Privilege, you may
request a Dreyfus TELETRANSFER redemption of shares by telephoning
1-800-221-4060 or, if you are calling from overseas, call 1-401-455-3306.
Shares issued in certificate form are not eligible for this Privilege.
SHAREHOLDER SERVICES PLAN
The Fund has adopted a Shareholder Services Plan pursuant to which
the Fund reimburses Dreyfus Service Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
The Dreyfus Corporation, 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.
DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
The Fund ordinarily declares dividends from net investment income on
each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. Dividends usually
are paid on the last calendar day of each month and are automatically
reinvested in additional Fund shares at net asset value or, at your option,
are paid in cash. The
Page 16
Fund's earnings for Saturdays, Sundays and holidays are declared as dividends
on the preceding business day. If you redeem all shares in your account at any
time during the month, all dividends to which you are entitled will be paid
to you along with the proceeds of the redemption. If you are an omnibus
accountholder and indicate in a partial redemption request that a portion of
any accrued dividends to which such account is entitled belongs to an
underlying accountholder who has redeemed all shares in his or her account,
such portion of the accrued dividends will be paid to you along
with the proceeds of the redemption. Distributions from net realized
securities gains, if any, generally are declared and paid once a year, but
the Fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the
distribution requirements of the Code, in all events in a manner consistent
with the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund will not
make distributions from net realized securities gains unless capital loss
carryovers, if any, have been utilized or have expired. You may choose
whether to receive distributions in cash or to reinvest in additional Fund
shares at net asset value. All expenses are accrued daily and deducted before
declaration of dividends to investors.
Except for dividends from Taxable Investments, the Fund anticipates
that substantially all dividends paid by the Fund will not be subject to
Federal income tax. Dividends derived from Taxable Investments, together with
distributions from any net realized short-term securities gains and all or a
portion of any gains realized from the sale or other disposition of certain
market discount bonds, paid by the Fund are subject to Federal income tax as
ordinary income, whether or not reinvested. No dividend paid by the Fund will
qualify for the dividends received deduction allowable to certain U.S.
corporations. Distributions from net realized long-term securities gains of
the Fund generally are taxable as long-term capital gains for Federal income
tax purposes if you are a citizen or resident of the United States. The Code
provides that the net capital gain of an individual generally will not be
subject to Federal income tax at a rate in excess of 28%. Under the Code,
interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry Fund
shares which is deemed to relate to exempt-interest dividends is not
deductible.
Although all or a substantial portion of the dividends paid by the
Fund may be excluded by shareholders of the Fund from their gross income for
Federal income tax purposes, the Fund may purchase specified private activity
bonds, the interest from which may be (i) a preference item for purposes of
the alternative minimum tax, (ii) a component of the "adjusted current
earnings" preference item for purposes of the corporate alternative minimum
tax as well as a component in computing the corporate environmental tax or
(iii) a factor in determining the extent to which a shareholder's Social
Security benefits are taxable. If the Fund purchases such securities, the
portion of the Fund's dividends related thereto will not necessarily be tax
exempt to an investor who is subject to the alternative minimum tax and/or
the tax on Social Security benefits and may cause an investor to be subject
to such taxes.
Taxable dividends derived from net investment income, together with
distributions from net realized short-term securities gains and all or a
portion of any gains realized from the sale or other disposition of certain
market discount bonds, paid by the Fund to a foreign investor generally are
subject to U.S. nonresident withholding taxes at the rate of 30%, unless the
foreign investor claims the benefit of a lower rate specified in a tax
treaty. Distributions from net realized long-term securities gains paid by
the Fund to a foreign investor generally will not be subject to U.S.
nonresident withholding tax. However, such distributions may be subject to
backup withholding, as described below, unless the foreign investor certifies
his non-U.S. residency status.
Notice as to the tax status of your dividends and distributions will
be mailed to you annually. You also will receive periodic summaries of your
account which will include information as to dividends and distributions from
securities gains, if any, paid during the year. These statements set forth
the dollar amount of income exempt from Federal tax and the dollar amount, if
any, subject to Federal tax . These dollar amounts will vary depending on the
size and length of time of your investment in the Fund. If the Fund pays
dividends derived from taxable income, it intends to designate as taxable the
same percentage of the day's dividend as the actual taxable income earned on
that day bears to total income earned on that day. Thus, the percentage of
the dividend designated as taxable, if any, may vary from day to day.
Page 17
Federal regulations generally require the Fund to withhold ("backup
withholding") and remit to the U.S. Treasury 31% of taxable dividends and
distributions from net realized securities gains of the Fund paid to a
shareholder if such shareholder fails to certify either that the TIN
furnished in connection with opening an account is correct, or that such
shareholder has not received notice from the IRS of being subject to backup
withholding as a result of a failure to properly report taxable dividend or in
terest income on a Federal income tax return. Furthermore, the IRS may notify
the Fund to institute backup withholding if the IRS determines a
shareholder's TIN is incorrect or if a shareholder has failed to properly
report taxable dividend and interest income on a Federal income tax return.
A TIN is either the Social Security number or employer identification
number of the record owner of the account. Any tax withheld as a result of
backup withholding does not constitute an additional tax imposed on the
record owner of the account, and may be claimed as a credit on the record
owner's Federal income tax return.
Management of the Fund believes that the Fund has qualified for the
fiscal year ended May 31, 1995 as a "regulated investment company" under the
Code. The Fund intends to continue to so qualify if such qualification is in
the best interest of its shareholders. Such qualification relieves the Fund
of any liability for Federal income taxes to the extent its earnings are
distributed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Code. The
Fund is subject to a non-deductible 4% excise tax, measured with respect to
certain undistributed amounts of taxable investment income and capital gains.
You should consult your tax adviser regarding specific questions as
to Federal, state or local taxes.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Fund was incorporated under Maryland law on July 30, 1979, and
commenced operations on August 7, 1980. On May 29, 1991, the Fund's name was
changed from Dreyfus Tax Exempt Money Market Fund, Inc. to Dreyfus Municipal
Money Market Fund, Inc. The Fund is authorized to issue 5 billion shares of
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share. Each share has one vote.
Unless otherwise required by the Investment Company Act of 1940,
ordinarily it will not be necessary for the Fund to hold annual meetings of
shareholders. As a result, Fund shareholders may not consider each year the
election of Directors or the appointment of auditors. However, pursuant to
the Fund's By-Laws, the holders of at least 10% of the shares outstanding and
entitled to vote may require the Fund to hold a special meeting of
shareholders for purposes of removing a Director from office and the holders
of at least 25% of such shares may require the Fund to hold a special meeting
of shareholders for any other purpose. Fund shareholders may remove a
Director by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Fund's outstanding
voting shares. In addition, the Board of Directors will call a meeting of
shareholders for the purpose of electing Directors if, at any time, less than
a majority of the Directors then holding office have been elected by
shareholders.
The Transfer Agent maintains a record of your ownership and sends you
confirmations and statements of account.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES
The following information supplements and should be read in
conjunction with the section in the Fund's Prospectus entitled "Description
of the Fund."

Municipal Obligations. The term "Municipal Obligations" generally
includes debt obligations issued to obtain funds for various public
purposes, including the construction of a wide range of public facilities
such as airports, bridges, highways, housing, hospitals, mass
transportation, schools, streets and water and sewer works. Other public
purposes for which Municipal Obligations may be issued include refunding
outstanding obligations, obtaining funds for general operating expenses and
lending such funds to other public institutions and facilities. In
addition, certain types of industrial development bonds are issued by or on
behalf of public authorities to obtain funds to provide for the
construction, equipment, repair or improvement of privately operated
housing facilities, sports facilities, convention or trade show facilities,
airport, mass transit, industrial, port or parking facilities, air or water
pollution control facilities and certain local facilities for water supply,
gas, electricity or sewage or solid waste disposal; the interest paid on
such obligations may be exempt from Federal income tax, although current
tax laws place substantial limitations on the size of such issues. Such
obligations are considered to be Municipal Obligations if the interest paid
thereon qualifies as exempt from Federal income tax in the opinion of bond
counsel to the issuer. There are, of course, variations in the security of
Municipal Obligations, both within a particular classification and between
classifications.
Floating and variable rate demand notes are tax exempt obligations
ordinarily having stated maturities in excess of 13 months, but which
permit the holder to demand payment of principal at any time, or at
specified intervals not exceeding 13 months, in each case upon not more
than 30 days' notice. The issuer of such notes ordinarily has a
corresponding right, after a given period, to prepay in its discretion the
outstanding principal amount of the notes plus accrued interest upon a
specified number of days' notice to the noteholders. The interest rate on
a floating rate demand note is based on a known lending rate, such as a
bank's prime rate, and is adjusted automatically each time such rate is
adjusted. The interest rate on a variable rate demand note is adjusted
automatically at specified intervals.
For the purpose of diversification under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the "Act"), the identification of the issuer of Municipal
Obligations depends on the terms and conditions of the security. When the
assets and revenues of an agency, authority, instrumentality or other
political subdivision are separate from those of the government creating
the subdivision and the security is backed only by the assets and revenues
of the subdivision, such subdivision would be deemed to be the sole issuer.
Similarly, in the case of an industrial development bond, if that bond is
backed only by the assets and revenues of the non-governmental user, then
such non-governmental user would be deemed to be the sole issuer. If,
however, in either case, the creating government or some other entity
guarantees a security, such a guaranty would be considered a separate
security and will be treated as an issue of such government or other
entity.
The yields on Municipal Obligations are dependent on a variety of
factors, including general economic and monetary conditions, money market
factors, conditions in the Municipal Obligations market, size of a
particular offering, maturity of the obligation and rating of the issue.
The imposition of the Fund's management fee, as well as other operating
expenses, will have the effect of reducing the yield to investors.
Municipal lease obligations or installment purchase contract
obligations (collectively, "lease obligations") have special risks not
ordinarily associated with Municipal Obligations. Although lease
obligations do not constitute general obligations of the municipality for
which the municipality's taxing power is pledged, a lease obligation
ordinarily is backed by the municipality's covenant to budget for,
appropriate and make the payments due under the lease obligation. However,
certain lease obligations contain "non-appropriation" clauses which provide
that the municipality has no obligation to make lease or installment
purchase payments in future years unless money is appropriated for such
purpose on a yearly basis. Although "non-appropriation" lease obligations
are secured by the leased property, disposition of the property in the
event of foreclosure might prove difficult. The Fund will seek to minimize
these risks by investing only in those lease obligations that (1) are rated
in one of the two highest categories for debt obligations by at least two
nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (or one rating
organization if the lease obligation was rated only by one such
organization) or (2) if unrated, are purchased principally from the issuer
or domestic banks or other responsible third parties, in each case only if
the seller shall have entered into an agreement with the Fund providing
that the seller or other responsible third party will either remarket or
repurchase the lease obligation within a short period after demand by the
Fund. The staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission currently
considers certain lease obligations to be illiquid. Accordingly, not more
than 10% of the value of the Fund's net assets will be invested in lease
obligations that are illiquid and in other illiquid securities. See
"Investment Restriction No. 12" below.
The Fund will not purchase tender option bonds unless (a) the demand
feature applicable thereto is exercisable by the Fund within 13 months of
the date of such purchase upon no more than 30 days' notice and thereafter
is exercisable by the Fund no less frequently than annually upon no more
than 30 days' notice and (b) at the time of such purchase, the Manager
reasonably expects (i) based upon its assessment of current and historical
interest rate trends, that prevailing short-term tax exempt rates will not
exceed the stated interest rate on the underlying Municipal Obligations at
the time of the next tender fee adjustment and (ii) that the circumstances
which might entitle the grantor of a tender option to terminate the tender
option would not occur prior to the time of the next tender opportunity.
At the time of each tender opportunity, the Fund will exercise the tender
option with respect to any tender option bonds unless the Manager
reasonably expects, (x) based upon its assessment of current and historical
interest rate trends, that short-term tax exempt rates will not exceed the
stated interest rate on the underlying Municipal Obligations at the time of
the next tender fee adjustment and (y) that the circumstances which might
entitle the grantor of a tender option to terminate the tender option would
not occur prior to the time of the next tender opportunity. The Fund will
exercise the tender feature with respect to tender option bonds, or
otherwise dispose of its tender option bonds, prior to the time the tender
option is scheduled to expire pursuant to the terms of the agreement under
which the tender option is granted. The Fund otherwise will comply with
the provisions of Rule 2a-7 in connection with the purchase of tender
option bonds, including, without limitation, the requisite determination by
the Board of Directors that the tender option bonds in question meet the
quality standards described in Rule 2a-7, which, in the case of a tender
option bond subject to a conditional demand feature, would include a
determination that the security has received both the required short-term
and long-term quality rating or is determined to be of comparable quality.
In the event of a default of the Municipal Obligation underlying a tender
option bond, or the termination of the tender option agreement, the Fund
would look to the maturity date of the underlying security for purposes of
compliance with Rule 2a-7 and, if its remaining maturity was greater than
13 months, the Fund would sell the security as soon as would be
practicable. The Fund will purchase tender option bonds only when it is
satisfied that the custodial and tender option arrangements, including the
fee payment arrangements, will not adversely affect the tax exempt status
of the underlying Municipal Obligations and that payment of any tender fees
will not have the effect of creating taxable income for the Fund. Based on
the tender option bond agreement, the Fund expects to be able to value the
tender option bond at par; however, the value of the instrument will be
monitored to assure that it is valued at fair value.
Ratings of Municipal Obligations. If, subsequent to its purchase by
the Fund, (a) an issue of rated Municipal Obligations ceases to be rated in
the highest rating category by at least two rating organizations (or one
rating organization if the instrument was rated by only one such rating
organization) or the Fund's Board determines that it is no longer of
comparable quality or (b) the Manager becomes aware that any portfolio
security not so highly rated or any unrated security has been given a
rating by any rating organization below the rating organization's second
highest rating category, the Fund's Board will reassess promptly whether
such security presents minimal credit risk and will cause the Fund to take
such action as it determines is in the best interest of the Fund and its
shareholders; provided that the reassessment required by clause (b) is not
required if the portfolio security is disposed of or matures within five
business days of the Manager becoming aware of the new rating and the
Fund's Board is subsequently notified of the Manager's actions.
To the extent that the ratings given by Moody's, S&P or Fitch for
Municipal Obligations may change as a result of changes in such
organizations or their rating systems, the Fund will attempt to use
comparable ratings as standards for its investments in accordance with the
investment policies contained in the Prospectus and this Statement of
Additional Information. The ratings of Moody's, S&P and Fitch represent
their opinions as to the quality of the Municipal Obligations which they
undertake to rate. It should be emphasized, however, that ratings are
relative and subjective and are not absolute standards of quality.
Although these ratings may be an initial criterion for selection of
portfolio investments, the Manager also will evaluate these securities and
the creditworthiness of the issuers of such securities.
Illiquid Securities. If a substantial market of qualified
institutional buyers develops pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, for certain restricted securities held by the
Fund, the Fund intends to treat such securities as liquid securities in
accordance with procedures approved by the Fund's Board. Because it is not
possible to predict with assurance how the market for restricted securities
pursuant to Rule 144A will develop, the Fund's Board has directed the
Manager to monitor carefully the Fund's investments in such securities with
particular regard to trading activity, availability of reliable price
information and other relevant information. To the extent that, for a
period of time, qualified institutional buyers cease purchasing restricted
securities pursuant to Rule 144A, the Fund's investing in such securities
may have the effect of increasing the level of illiquidity in the Fund's
portfolio during such period.
Taxable Investments. Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government or its agencies or instrumentalities include U.S. Treasury
securities, which differ in their interest rates, maturities and times of
issuance. Some obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government
agencies and instrumentalities, for example, Government National Mortgage
Association pass-through certificates, are supported by the full faith and
credit of the U.S. Treasury; others, such as those of the Federal Home Loan
Banks, by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury; others,
such as those issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association, by
discretionary authority of the U.S. Government to purchase certain
obligations of the agency or instrumentality; and others, such as those
issued by the Student Loan Marketing Association, only by the credit of the
agency or instrumentality. These securities bear fixed, floating or
variable rates of interest. Interest may fluctuate based on generally
recognized reference rates or the relationship of rates. While the U.S.
Government provides financial support to such U.S. Government-sponsored
agencies or instrumentalities, no assurance can be given that it will
always do so, since it is not so obligated by law. The Fund will invest in
such securities only when it is satisfied that the credit risk with respect
to the issuer is minimal.
Commercial paper consists of short-term, unsecured promissory notes
issued to finance short-term credit needs.
Certificates of deposit are negotiable certificates representing the
obligation of a bank to repay funds deposited with it for a specified
period of time.
Time deposits are non-negotiable deposits maintained in a banking
institution for a specified period of time at a stated interest rate.
Investments in time deposits generally are limited to London branches of
domestic banks that have total assets in excess of one billion dollars.
Time deposits which may be held by the Fund will not benefit from insurance
from the Bank Insurance Fund or the Savings Association Insurance Fund
administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Bankers' acceptances are credit instruments evidencing the obligation
of a bank to pay a draft drawn on it by a customer. These instruments
reflect the obligation both of the bank and of the drawer to pay the face
amount of the instrument upon maturity. Other short term bank obligations
may include uninsured, direct obligations bearing fixed, floating or
variable interest rates.
Repurchase agreements involve the acquisition by the Fund of an
underlying debt instrument, subject to an obligation of the seller to
repurchase, and the Fund to resell, the instrument at a fixed price,
usually not more than one week after its purchase. The Fund's custodian or
sub-custodian will have custody of, and will hold in a segregated account,
securities acquired by the Fund under a repurchase agreement. Repurchase
agreements are considered by the staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission to be loans by the Fund. In an attempt to reduce the risk of
incurring a loss on a repurchase agreement, the Fund will enter into
repurchase agreements only with domestic banks with total assets in excess
of one billion dollars or primary government securities dealers reporting
to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, with respect to securities of the
type in which the Fund may invest, and will require that additional
securities be deposited with it if the value of the securities purchased
should decrease below resale price. The Manager will monitor on an ongoing
basis the value of the collateral to assure that it always equals or
exceeds the repurchase price. Certain costs may be incurred by the Fund in
connection with the sale of the securities if the seller does not
repurchase them in accordance with the repurchase agreement. In addition,
if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the
securities, realization on the securities by the Fund may be delayed or
limited. The Fund will consider on an ongoing basis the creditworthiness
of the institutions with which it enters into repurchase agreements.
Investment Restrictions. The Fund has adopted investment restrictions
numbered 1 through 11 as fundamental policies, which cannot be changed
without approval by the holders of a majority (as defined in the Act) of
the Fund's outstanding voting shares. Investment restriction numbered 12
is not a fundamental policy and may be changed by a vote of a majority of
the Fund's Directors at any time. The Fund may not:
1. Purchase securities other than Municipal Obligations and Taxable
Investments as those terms are defined above and in the Fund's
Prospectus.
2. Borrow money, except from banks for temporary or emergency
purposes and not for investment, in an amount up to (a) 15% of
the value of the Fund's total assets (including the amount
borrowed) valued at market less liabilities (not including the
amount borrowed) at the time the borrowing is made or (b) one-
third of the value of its total assets (including the amount
borrowed) in order to meet redemption requests which otherwise
might require the untimely disposition of securities. While
borrowings under (a) exceed 5% of the value of the Fund's total
assets, the Fund will not make any additional investments. If
due to market fluctuations or other reasons the value of the
Fund's assets falls below 300% of its borrowings, the Fund will
reduce its borrowings within three business days. To do this,
the Fund may have to sell a portion of its investments at a time
when it may be disadvantageous to do so.
3. Pledge, hypothecate, mortgage or otherwise encumber its assets,
except to secure borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes.
4. Sell securities short or purchase securities on margin.
5. Underwrite the securities of other issuers except that the Fund
may bid, separately or as part of a group, for the purchase of
Municipal Obligations directly from an issuer for its own
portfolio in order to take advantage of the lower purchase price
available.
6. Purchase or sell real estate, real estate investment trust
securities, commodities or commodity contracts, or oil and gas
interests, but this shall not prevent the Fund from investing in
Municipal Obligations secured by real estate or interests
therein.
7. Make loans to others except through the purchase of qualified
debt obligations and the entry into repurchase agreements
referred to above and in the Fund's Prospectus.
8. Invest more than 5% of its assets in the obligations of one
issuer, except that up to 25% of the value of the Fund's total
assets may be invested, and securities issued or guaranteed by
the U.S. Government, or its agencies or instrumentalities may be
purchased, without regard to any such limitation.
9. Invest more than 25% of its assets in the securities of issuers
in any single industry; provided that there shall be no
limitation on the purchase of Municipal Obligations and
obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its
agencies or instrumentalities.
10. Purchase more than 10% of the voting securities of any issuer or
invest in companies for the purpose of exercising control.
11. Invest in securities of other investment companies, except as
they may be acquired as part of a merger, consolidation or
acquisition of assets and except for the purchase, to the extent
permitted by Section 12 of the Act, of shares of registered unit
investment trusts whose assets consist substantially of Municipal
Obligations.
12. Enter into repurchase agreements providing for settlement in more
than seven days after notice or purchase securities which are
illiquid if, in the aggregate, more than 10% of the value of the
Fund's net assets would be so invested.
For purposes of Investment Restriction No. 9, industrial development
bonds, where the payment of principal and interest is the ultimate
responsibility of companies within the same industry, are grouped together
as an "industry."
If a percentage restriction is adhered to at the time of an
investment, a later increase in percentage resulting from a change in
values or assets will not constitute a violation of that restriction.
The Fund may make commitments more restrictive than the restrictions
listed above so as to permit the sale of Fund shares in certain states.
Should the Fund determine that a commitment is no longer in the best
interests of the Fund and its shareholders, the Fund reserves the right to
revoke the commitment by terminating the sale of Fund shares in the state
involved.

approved by the Fund's Board of Directors, including a majority of the
Directors who are not "interested persons" of any party to the Agreement,
at a meeting held on January 30, 1995. The Agreement is terminable without
penalty, on not less than 60 days' notice, by the Fund's Board of
Directors, by vote of the holders of a majority of the Fund's shares, or by

The Manager manages the Fund's portfolio of investments in accordance
with the stated policies of the Fund, subject to the approval of the Fund's
Board of Directors. The Manager is responsible for investment decisions
and provides the Fund with portfolio managers who are authorized by the
Board of Directors to execute purchases and sales of securities. The
Fund's portfolio managers are A. Paul Disdier, Karen M. Hand, Stephen C.
Kris, Richard J. Moynihan, Jill C. Shaffro, L. Lawrence Troutman, Samuel J.
Weinstock and Monica S. Wieboldt. The Manager also maintains a research
department with a professional staff of portfolio managers and securities
analysts who provide research services for the Fund as well as for other
funds advised by the Manager. All purchases and sales are reported for the
Directors' review at the meeting subsequent to such transactions.
All expenses incurred in the operation of the Fund are borne by the
Fund, except to the extent specifically assumed by the Manager. The
expenses borne by the Fund include: taxes, interest, brokerage fees and
commissions, if any, fees of Directors who are not officers, directors,
employees or holders of 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of
the Manager, Securities and Exchange Commission fees, state Blue Sky
qualification fees, advisory fees, charges of custodians, transfer and
dividend disbursing agents' fees, certain insurance premiums, industry
association fees, outside auditing and legal expenses, costs of independent
pricing services, costs of maintaining corporate existence, costs
attributable to investor services (including, without limitation, telephone
and personnel expenses), costs of shareholders' reports and corporate
meetings, costs of preparing and printing prospectuses and statements of

existing shareholders, and any extraordinary expenses.
The Manager maintains office facilities on behalf of the Fund, and
furnishes statistical and research data, clerical help, accounting, data
processing, bookkeeping and internal auditing and certain other required
services to the Fund. The Manager also may make such advertising and
promotional expenditures, using its own resources, as it from time to time
deems appropriate.
As compensation for the Manager's services, the Fund has agreed to pay
the Manager a monthly management fee at the annual rate of .50 of 1% of the
value of the Fund's average daily net assets, as provided in the Agreement.
All fees and expenses are accrued daily and deducted before declaration of
dividends to investors. The management fees paid for the fiscal years
ended May 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995 were $7,201,632, $6,516,300 and
$5,500,256, respectively.
The Manager has agreed that if in any fiscal year the aggregate
expenses of the Fund, exclusive of taxes, brokerage, interest and (with the
prior written consent of the necessary state securities commissions)
extraordinary expenses, but including the management fee, exceed the
expense limitations of any state having jurisdiction over the Fund, the
Manager will bear such excess or refund to the Fund, on an estimated basis
monthly, the amount of such excess, initially as a reduction of its
management fee. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 1995, no expense
reimbursements were made pursuant to such limitation.
The aggregate of the fees payable to the Manager is not subject to
reduction as the value of the Fund's net assets increases.

Services Plan."
The Fund has adopted a Shareholder Services Plan (the "Plan") pursuant
to which the Fund reimburses Dreyfus Service Corporation 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.
A quarterly report of the amounts expended under the Plan, and the
purposes for which such expenditures were incurred, must be made to the
Directors for their review. In addition, the Plan provides that material
amendments of the Plan must be approved by the Board of Directors, and by
the Directors who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the Act) of
the Fund or the Manager and have no direct or indirect financial interest
in the operation of the Plan, by vote cast in person at a meeting called
for the purpose of considering such amendments. The Plan is subject to
annual approval by such vote of the Directors cast in person at a meeting
called for the purpose of voting on the Plan. The Plan is terminable at
any time by vote of a majority of the Directors who are not "interested
persons" and have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation
of the Plan.
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 1995, $356,051 was charged to the
Fund under the Plan.
PURCHASE OF FUND SHARES
The following information supplements and should be read in
conjunction with the section in the Fund's Prospectus entitled "How to Buy
Fund Shares."
The Distributor. The Distributor serves as the Fund's distributor
pursuant to an agreement which is renewable annually. The Distributor also
acts as distributor for the other funds in the Dreyfus Family of Funds and
for certain other investment companies. In some states, banks or other
institutions effecting transactions in Fund shares may be required to
register as dealers pursuant to state law.
Using Federal Funds. The Shareholder Services Group, Inc., the Fund's
transfer and dividend disbursing agent (the "Transfer Agent"), or the Fund
may attempt to notify the investor upon receipt of checks drawn on banks
that are not members of the Federal Reserve System as to the possible delay
in conversion into Federal Funds and may attempt to arrange for a better
means of transmitting the money. If the investor is a customer of a
securities dealer, bank or other financial institution and his order to
purchase Fund shares is paid for other than in Federal Funds, the
securities dealer, bank or other financial institution, acting on behalf of
its customer, will complete the conversion into, or itself advance, Federal
Funds generally on the business day following receipt of the customer
order. The order is effective only when so converted and received by the
Transfer Agent. An order for the purchase of Fund shares placed by an
investor with sufficient Federal Funds or cash balance in his brokerage
account with a securities dealer, bank or other financial institution will
become effective on the day that the order, including Federal Funds, is
received by the Transfer Agent.
Procedures for Multiple Accounts. The Transfer Agent will provide
each institution with a written confirmation for each transaction in a
sub-account at no additional charge. Upon receipt of funds for investment
by interbank wire, the Transfer Agent promptly will confirm the receipt of
the investment by telephone or return wire to the transmitting bank, if the
investor so requests.
The Transfer Agent also will provide each institution with a monthly
statement setting forth, for each sub-account, the share balance, income
earned for the month, income earned for the year to date and the total
current value of the account.
Dreyfus TeleTransfer Privilege. Dreyfus TeleTransfer purchase orders
may be made between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M., New York time, on
any business day that the Transfer Agent and the New York Stock Exchange
are open. Such purchases will be credited to the shareholder's Fund
account on the next bank business day. To qualify to use the Dreyfus
TeleTransfer Privilege, the initial payment for purchase of Fund shares
must be drawn on, and redemption proceeds paid to, the same bank and
account as are designated on the Account Application or Shareholder
Services Form on file. If the proceeds of a particular redemption are to
be wired to an account at any other bank, the request must be in writing
and signature-guaranteed. See "Redemption of Fund Shares--Dreyfus
TeleTransfer Privilege."
Service Charges. There are no sales or service charges by the Fund or
the Distributor, although investment dealers, banks and other financial
institutions may make reasonable charges to investors for their services.
The services provided and fees therefor are established by each institution
acting independently of the Fund. The Fund has been given to understand
that these fees may be charged for customer services including, but not
limited to, same-day investment of client funds; same-day access to client
funds; advice to customers about the status of their accounts, yield
currently being paid or income earned to date; provision of periodic
account statements showing security and money market positions; other
services available from the dealer, bank or other financial institution;
and assistance with inquiries related to their investment. Any such fees
will be deducted monthly from the investor's account, which on smaller
accounts could constitute a substantial portion of the distributions.
Small, inactive, long-term accounts involving monthly service charges may
not be in the best interest of investors. Investors should be aware that
they may purchase shares of the Fund directly from the Fund without
imposition of any maintenance or service charges, other than those already
described herein.
Reopening an Account. An investor may reopen an account with a
minimum investment of $100 without filing a new Account Application during
the calendar year the account is closed or during the following calendar
year, provided the information on the old Account Application is still
applicable.
REDEMPTION OF FUND SHARES
The following information supplements and should be read in
conjunction with the section in the Fund's Prospectus entitled "How to
Redeem Fund Shares."
Check Redemption Privilege. An investor may indicate on the Account
Application or by later written request that the Fund provide Redemption
Checks ("Checks") drawn on the Fund's account. Checks will be sent only to
the registered owner(s) of the account and only to the address of record.
The Account Application or later written request must be manually signed by
the registered owner(s). Checks may be made payable to the order of any
person in an amount of $500 or more. When a Check is presented to the
Transfer Agent for payment, the Transfer Agent, as the investor's agent,
will cause the Fund to redeem a sufficient number of shares in the account
to cover the amount of the Check. Dividends are earned until the Check
clears. After clearance, a copy of the Check will be returned to the
investor. Investors generally will be subject to the same rules and
regulations that apply to checking accounts, although election of this
Privilege creates only a shareholder-transfer agent relationship with the
Transfer Agent.
If the amount of the Check is greater than the value of the shares in
an investor's account, the Check will be returned marked insufficient
funds. Checks should not be used to close an account.
Wire Redemption Privilege. By using this Privilege, the investor
authorizes the Transfer Agent to act on wire or telephone redemption
instructions from any person representing himself or herself to be the
investor and reasonably believed by the Transfer Agent to be genuine.
Ordinarily, the Fund will initiate payment for shares redeemed pursuant to
this Privilege on the same business day if the Transfer Agent receives the
redemption request in proper form prior to Noon on such day; otherwise, the
Fund will initiate payment on the next business day. Redemption proceeds
will be transferred by Federal Reserve wire only to the commercial bank
account specified by the investor on the Account Application or Shareholder
Services Form. Redemption proceeds, if wired, must be in the amount of
$1,000 or more and will be wired to the investor's account at the bank of
record designated in the investor's file at the Transfer Agent, if the
investor's bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System, or to a
correspondent bank if the investor's bank is not a member. Fees ordinarily
are imposed by such bank and borne by the investor. Immediate notification
by the correspondent bank to the investor's bank is necessary to avoid a
delay in crediting the funds to the investor's bank account.
Investors with access to telegraphic equipment may wire redemption
requests to the Transfer Agent by employing the following transmittal code
which may be used for domestic or overseas transmissions:
Transfer Agent's
Transmittal Code Answer Back Sign
144295 144295 TSSG PREP
Investors who do not have direct access to telegraphic equipment may
have the wire transmitted by contacting a TRT Cables operator at
1-800-654-7171, toll free. Investors should advise the operator that the
above transmittal code must be used and should also inform the operator of
the Transfer Agent's answer back sign.
To change the commercial bank or account designated to receive
redemption proceeds, a written request must be sent to the Transfer Agent.
This request must be signed by each shareholder, with each signature
guaranteed as described below under "Stock Certificates; Signatures."
Dreyfus TeleTransfer Privilege. Investors should be aware that if
they have selected the Dreyfus TeleTransfer Privilege, any request for a
wire redemption will be effected as a Dreyfus TeleTransfer transaction
through the Automated Clearing House ("ACH") system unless more prompt
transmittal specifically is requested. Redemption proceeds will be on
deposit in the investor's account at an ACH member bank ordinarily two
business days after receipt of the redemption request. See "Purchase of
Fund Shares--Dreyfus TeleTransfer Privilege."
Stock Certificates; Signatures. Any stock certificate representing
Fund shares to be redeemed must be submitted with the redemption request.
Written redemption requests must be signed by each shareholder, including
each holder of a joint account, and each signature must be guaranteed.
Signatures on endorsed certificates submitted for redemption also must be
guaranteed. The Transfer Agent has adopted standards and procedures
pursuant to which signature-guarantees in proper form generally will be
accepted from domestic banks, brokers, dealers, credit unions, national
securities exchanges, registered securities associations, clearing agencies
and savings associations, as well as from participants in the New York
Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program, the Securities Transfer Agents
Medallion Program ("STAMP") and the Stock Exchanges Medallion Program.
Guarantees must be signed by an authorized signatory of the guarantor and
"Signature Guaranteed" must appear with the signature. The Transfer Agent
may request additional documentation from corporations, executors,
administrators, trustees or guardians, and may accept other suitable
verification arrangements from foreign investors, such as consular
verification. For more information with respect to signature-guarantees,
please call one of the telephone numbers listed on the cover.
Redemption Commitment. The Fund has committed itself to pay in cash
all redemption requests made by any shareholder of record, limited in
amount during any 90-day period to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the
value of the Fund's net assets at the beginning of such period. This
commitment is irrevocable without the prior approval of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and is a fundamental policy of the Fund which may not
be changed without shareholder approval. In the case of requests for
redemption in excess of such amount, the Board of Directors reserves the
right to make payments in whole or in part in securities or other assets of
the Fund in case of an emergency or any time a cash distribution would
impair the liquidity of the Fund to the detriment of existing shareholders.
In such event, the securities would be valued in the same manner as the
Fund's portfolio is valued. If the recipient sold such securities,
brokerage charges would be incurred.
Suspension of Redemptions. The right of redemption may be suspended
or the date of payment postponed (a) during any period when the New York
Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday
closings), (b) when trading in the markets the Fund ordinarily utilizes is
restricted, or when an emergency exists as determined by the Securities and
Exchange Commission so that disposal of the Fund's investments or
determination of its net asset value is not reasonably practicable or (c)
for such other periods as the Securities and Exchange Commission by order
may permit to protect the Fund's shareholders.
SHAREHOLDER SERVICES
The following information supplements and should be read in
conjunction with the
section in the Fund's Prospectus entitled "Shareholder Services."
Fund Exchanges. Shares of other funds purchased by exchange will be
purchased on the basis of relative net asset value per share as follows:
A. Exchanges for shares of funds that are offered without a sales
load will be made without a sales load.
B. Shares of funds purchased without a sales load may be exchanged
for shares of other funds sold with a sales load, and the
applicable sales load will be deducted.
C. Shares of funds purchased with a sales load may be exchanged
without a sales load for shares of any other funds sold without a
sales load.
D. Shares of funds purchased with a sales load, shares of funds
acquired by a previous exchange from shares purchased with a
sales load, and additional shares acquired through reinvestment
of dividends or distributions of any such funds (collectively
referred to herein as "Purchased Shares") may be exchanged for
shares of other funds sold with a sales load (referred to herein
as "Offered Shares"), provided that, if the sales load applicable
to the Offered Shares exceeds the maximum sales load that could
have been imposed in connection with the Purchased Shares (at the
time the Purchased Shares were acquired), without giving effect
to any reduced loads, the difference will be deducted.
To accomplish an exchange under item D above, shareholders must notify
the Transfer Agent of their prior ownership of fund shares and their
account number.
To request an exchange, an investor must give exchange instructions to
the Transfer Agent in writing or by telephone. The ability to issue
exchange instructions by telephone is given to all Fund shareholders
automatically, unless the investor checks the applicable "No" box on the
account application, indicating that the investor specifically refuses this
Privilege. By using the Telephone Exchange Privilege, the investor
authorizes the Transfer Agent to act on telephonic instructions from any
person representing himself or herself to be the investor, and reasonably
believed by the Transfer Agent to be genuine. Telephone exchanges may be
subject to limitations as to the amount involved or the number of telephone
exchanges permitted. Shares issued in certificate form are not eligible
for telephone exchange.
To establish a personal retirement plan by exchange, shares of the
fund being exchanged must have a value of at least the minimum initial
investment required for the fund into which the exchange is being made.
For Dreyfus-sponsored Keogh Plans, IRAs and IRAs set up under a Simplified
Employee Pension Plan ("SEP-IRAs") with only one participant, the minimum
initial investment is $750. To exchange shares held in corporate plans,
403(b)(7) Plans and SEP-IRAs with more than one participant, the minimum
initial investment is $100 if the plan has at least $2,500 invested among
the funds in the Dreyfus Family of Funds. To exchange shares held in
personal retirement plans, the shares exchanged must have a current value
of at least $100.
Dreyfus Auto-Exchange Privilege. Dreyfus Auto-Exchange Privilege
permits an investor to purchase, in exchange for shares of the Fund, shares
of another fund in the Dreyfus Family of Funds. This Privilege is
available only for existing accounts. Shares will be exchanged on the
basis of relative net asset value as described above under "Fund
Exchanges." Enrollment in or modification or cancellation of this
Privilege is effective three business days following notification by the
investor. An investor will be notified if his account falls below the
amount designated to be exchanged under this Privilege. In this case, an
investor's account will fall to zero unless additional investments are made
in excess of the designated amount prior to the next Auto-Exchange
transaction. Shares held under IRA and other retirement plans are eligible
for this Privilege. Exchanges of IRA shares may be made between IRA
accounts and from regular accounts to IRA accounts, but not from IRA
accounts to regular accounts. With respect to all other retirement
accounts exchanges may be made only among those accounts.
Fund Exchanges and the Dreyfus Auto-Exchange Privilege are available
to shareholders resident in any state in which shares of the fund being
acquired may legally be sold. Shares may be exchanged only between
accounts having identical names and other identifying designations.
Shareholder Services Forms and prospectuses of the other funds may be
obtained by calling 1-800-645-6561. The Fund reserves the right to reject
any exchange request in whole or in part. The Fund Exchanges service or
the Dreyfus Auto-Exchange Privilege may be modified or terminated at any
time upon notice to shareholders.
Automatic Withdrawal Plan. The Automatic Withdrawal Plan permits an
investor with a $5,000 minimum account to request withdrawal of a specified
dollar amount (minimum of $50) on either a monthly or quarterly basis.
Withdrawal payments are the proceeds from sales of Fund shares, not the
yield on the shares. If withdrawal payments exceed reinvested dividends
and distributions, the investor's shares will be reduced and eventually may
be depleted. There is a service charge of $.50 for each withdrawal check.
Automatic Withdrawal may be terminated at any time by the investor, the
Fund or the Transfer Agent. Shares for which certificates have been issued
may not be redeemed through to the Automatic Withdrawal Plan.
Dreyfus Dividend Sweep. Dreyfus Dividend Sweep allows investors to
invest on the payment date their dividends or dividends and capital gain
distributions, if any, paid by the Fund in shares of another fund in the
Dreyfus Family of Funds of which the investor is a shareholder. Shares of
other funds purchased pursuant to this privilege will be purchased on the
basis of relative net asset value per share as follows:
A. Dividends and distributions paid by a fund may be invested
without imposition of a sales load in shares of other funds that
are offered without a sales load.
B. Dividends and distributions paid by a fund which does not charge
a sales load may be invested in shares of other funds sold with a
sales load, and the applicable sales load will be deducted.
C. Dividends and distributions paid by a fund which charges a sales
load may be invested in shares of other funds sold with a sales
load (referred to herein as "Offered Shares"), provided that, if
the sales load applicable to the Offered Shares exceeds the maximum
sales load charged by the fund from which dividends or distributions
are being swept, without giving effect to any reduced loads, the
difference will be deducted.
D. Dividends and distributions paid by a fund may be invested in
shares of other funds that impose a contingent deferred sales
charge ("CDSC") and the applicable CDSC, if any, will be imposed
upon redemption of such shares.
DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE
The following information supplements and should be read in
conjunction with the section in the Fund's Prospectus entitled "How to Buy
Fund Shares."
Amortized Cost Pricing. The valuation of the Fund's portfolio
securities is based upon their amortized cost, which does not take into
account unrealized capital gains or losses. This involves valuing an
instrument at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to
maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of
fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the instrument. While
this method provides certainty in valuation, it may result in periods
during which value, as determined by amortized cost, is higher or lower
than the price the Fund would receive if it sold the instrument.
The Board of Directors has established, as a particular responsibility
within the overall duty of care owed to the Fund's investors, procedures
reasonably designed to stabilize the Fund's price per share as computed for
purposes of sales and redemptions at $1.00. Such procedures include review
of the Fund's portfolio holdings by the Board of Directors, at such
intervals as it deems appropriate, to determine whether the Fund's net
asset value calculated by using available market quotations or market
equivalents deviates from $1.00 per share based on amortized cost. Market
quotations and market equivalents used in such review are obtained from an
independent pricing service (the "Service") approved by the Board of
Directors. The Service values the Fund's investments based on methods
which include consideration of: yields or prices of municipal bonds of
comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications of values from
dealers; and general market conditions. The Service also may employ
electronic data processing techniques and/or a matrix system to determine
valuations.
The extent of any deviation between the Fund's net asset value based
upon available market quotations or market equivalents and $1.00 per share
based on amortized cost will be examined by the Board of Directors. If
such deviation exceeds 1/2 of 1%, the Board of Directors promptly will
consider what action, if any, will be initiated. In the event the Board of
Directors determines that a deviation exists which may result in material
dilution or other unfair results to investors or existing shareholders, it
has agreed to take such corrective action as it regards as necessary and
appropriate, including: selling portfolio instruments prior to maturity to
realize capital gains or losses or to shorten average portfolio maturity;
withholding dividends or paying distributions from capital or capital
gains; redeeming shares in kind; or establishing a net asset value per
share by using available market quotations or market equivalents.
New York Stock Exchange Closings. The holidays (as observed) on which
the New York Stock Exchange is closed currently are: New Year's Day,
Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving and Christmas.
DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
The following information supplements and should be read in
conjunction with the section in the Fund's Prospectus entitled "Dividends,
Distributions and Taxes."
Ordinarily, gains and losses realized from portfolio transactions will
be treated as capital gain or loss. However, all or a portion of any gain
realized from the sale or other disposition of certain market discount
bonds will be treated as ordinary income under Section 1276 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
YIELD INFORMATION
The following information supplements and should be read in
conjunction with the section in the Fund's Prospectus entitled "Yield
Information."
For the seven-day period ended May 31, 1995, the Fund's yield was
3.61% and effective yield was 3.67%. Yield is computed in accordance with
a standardized method which involves determining the net change in the
value of a hypothetical pre-existing Fund account having a balance of one
share at the beginning of a seven calendar day period for which yield is to
be quoted, dividing the net change by the value of the account at the
beginning of the period to obtain the base period return, and annualizing
the results (i.e., multiplying the base period return by 365/7). The net
change in the value of the account reflects the value of additional shares
purchased with dividends declared on the original share and any such
additional shares and fees that may be charged to shareholder accounts, in
proportion to the length of the base period and the Fund's average account
size, but does not include realized gains and losses or unrealized
appreciation and depreciation. Effective yield is computed by adding 1 to
the base period return (calculated as described above), raising that sum to
a power equal to 365 divided by 7, and subtracting 1 from the result.
Based upon a 1995 Federal income tax rate of 39.60%, the Fund's tax
equivalent yield for the seven-day period ended May 31, 1995 was 5.98%.
Tax equivalent yield is computed by dividing that portion of the yield or
effective yield (calculated as described above) which is tax exempt by 1
minus a stated tax rate and adding the quotient to that portion, if any, of
the yield of the Fund that is not tax exempt.
The tax equivalent yield noted above represents the application of the
highest Federal marginal personal income tax rate in effect during 1995.
The tax equivalent figure, however, does not include the potential effect
of any state or local (including, but not limited to, county, district or
city) taxes, including applicable surcharges. In addition, there may be
pending legislation which could affect such stated tax rates or yields.
Each investor should consult its tax adviser, and consider its own factual
circumstances and applicable tax laws, in order to ascertain the relevant
tax equivalent yield.
Yields will fluctuate and are not necessarily representative of future
results. Each investor should remember that yield is a function of the
type and quality of the instruments in the portfolio, portfolio maturity
and operating expenses. An investor's principal in the Fund is not
guaranteed. See "Determination of Net Asset Value" for a discussion of the
manner in which the Fund's price per share is determined.
From time to time, the Fund may use hypothetical tax equivalent yields
or charts in its advertising. These hypothetical yields or charts will be
used for illustrative purposes only and not as representative of the Fund's
past or future performance.
Advertising materials for the Fund also may refer to or discuss then-
current or past economic conditions, developments and/or events, including
those relating to or arising from actual or proposed tax legislation. From
time to time, advertising materials for the Fund may also refer to
statistical or other information concerning trends relating to investment
companies, as compiled by industry associations such as the Investment
Company Institute.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Portfolio securities ordinarily are purchased from and sold to parties
acting as either principal or agent. Newly-issued securities ordinarily
are purchased directly from the issuer or from an underwriter; other
purchases and sales usually are placed with those dealers from which it
appears that the best price or execution will be obtained. Usually no
brokerage commissions, as such, are paid by the Fund for such purchases and
sales, although the price paid usually includes an undisclosed compensation
to the dealer acting as agent. The prices paid to underwriters of
newly-issued securities usually include a concession paid by the issuer to
the underwriter, and purchases of after-market securities from dealers
ordinarily are executed at a price between the bid and asked price. No
brokerage commissions have been paid by the Fund to date.
Transactions are allocated to various dealers by the Fund's portfolio
managers in their best judgment. The primary consideration is prompt and
effective execution of orders at the most favorable price. Subject to that
primary consideration, dealers may be selected for research, statistical or
other services to enable the Manager to supplement its own research and
analysis with the views and information of other securities firms.
Research services furnished by brokers through which the Fund effects
securities transactions may be used by the Manager in advising other funds
it advises and, conversely, research services furnished to the Manager by
brokers in connection with other funds the Manager advises may be used by
the Manager in advising the Fund. Although it is not possible to place a
dollar value on these services, it is the opinion of the Manager that the
receipt and study of such services should not reduce the overall expenses
of its research department.

conjunction with the section in the Fund's Prospectus entitled "General

APPENDIX
Description of S&P, Moody's and Fitch ratings:
S&P
Municipal Bond Ratings
An S&P municipal bond rating is a current assessment of the
creditworthiness of an obligor with respect to a specific obligation.
The ratings are based on current information furnished by the issuer
or obtained by S&P from other sources it considers reliable, and will
include: (1) likelihood of default-capacity and willingness of the obligor
as to the timely payment of interest and repayment of principal in
accordance with the terms of the obligation; (2) nature of and provisions
of the obligation; and (3) protection afforded by, and relative position
of, the obligation in the event of bankruptcy, reorganization or other
arrangement under the laws of bankruptcy and other laws affecting
creditors' rights.
AAA
Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by S&P. Capacity to
pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong.
AA
Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal and differs from the highest rated issues only in a small degree.
The AA rating may be modified by the addition of a plus or minus sign to
show relative standing within the category.
Municipal Note Ratings
SP-1
The issuers of these municipal notes exhibit very strong or strong
capacity to pay principal and interest. Those issues determined to possess
overwhelming safety characteristics are given a plus (+) designation.
Commercial Paper Ratings
The rating A is the highest rating and is assigned by S&P to issues
that are regarded as having the greatest capacity for timely payment.
Issues in this category are delineated with the numbers 1, 2 and 3 to
indicate the relative degree of safety. Paper rated A-1 indicates that the
degree of safety regarding timely payment is either overwhelming or very
strong. Those issues determined to possess overwhelming safety
characteristics are denoted with a plus (+) sign designation.
Moody's
Municipal Bond Ratings
Aaa
Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They
carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to
as "gilt edge." Interest payments are protected by a large or by an
exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure. While the various
protective elements are likely to change, such changes as can be visualized
are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of such
issues.
Aa
Bonds which are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all
standards. Together with the Aaa group they comprise what generally are
known as high grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds
because margins of protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities or
fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may
be other elements present which make the long-term risks appear somewhat
larger than in Aaa securities. Moody's applies the numerical modifiers 1,
2 and 3 to show relative standing within the Aa rating category. The
modifier 1 indicates a ranking for the security in the higher end of a
rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the
modifier 3 indicates a ranking in the lower end of a rating category.
Municipal Note Ratings
Moody's ratings for state and municipal notes and other short-term
loans are designated Moody's Investment Grade (MIG). Such ratings
recognize the differences between short-term credit risk and long-term
risk. Factors affecting the liquidity of the borrower and short-term
cyclical elements are critical in short-term ratings, while other factors
of major importance in bond risk, long-term secular trends for example, may
be less important over the short run.
A short-term rating may also be assigned on an issue having a demand
feature. Such ratings will be designated as VMIG or, if the demand feature
is not rated, as NR. Short-term ratings on issues with demand features are
differentiated by the use of the VMIG symbol to reflect such
characteristics as payment upon periodic demand rather than fixed maturity
dates and payment relying on external liquidity. Additionally, investors
should be alert to the fact that the source of payment may be limited to
the external liquidity with no or limited legal recourse to the issuer in
the event the demand is not met.
Moody's short-term ratings are designated Moody's Investment Grade as
MIG 1 or VMIG 1 through MIG 4 or VMIG 4. As the name implies, when Moody's
assigns a MIG or VMIG rating, all categories define an investment grade
situation.
MIG 1/VMIG 1
This designation denotes best quality. There is present strong
protection by established cash flows, superior liquidity support or
demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.
MIG 2/VMIG 2
This designation denotes high quality. Margins of protection are
ample although not so large as in the preceding group.
Commercial Paper Rating
The rating Prime-1 (P-1) is the highest commercial paper rating
assigned by Moody's. Issuers of P-1 paper must have a superior capacity
for repayment of short-term promissory obligations, and ordinarily will be
evidenced by leading market positions in well established industries, high
rates of return on funds employed, conservative capitalization structures
with moderate reliance on debt and ample asset protection, broad margins in
earnings coverage of fixed financial charges and high internal cash
generation, and well established access to a wide range of financial
markets and assured sources of alternate liquidity.
Fitch
Municipal Bond Ratings
The ratings represent Fitch's assessment of the issuer's ability to
meet the obligations of a specific debt issue or class of debt. The
ratings take into consideration special features of the issue, its
relationship to other obligations of the issuer, the current financial
condition and operative performance of the issuer and of any guarantor, as
well as the political and economic environment that might affect the
issuer's future financial strength and credit quality.
AAA
Bonds rated AAA are considered to be investment grade and of the
highest credit quality. The obligor has an exceptionally strong ability to
pay interest and repay principal, which is unlikely to be affected by
reasonably foreseeable events.
AA
Bonds rated AA are considered to be investment grade and of very high
credit quality. The obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal
is very strong, although not quite as strong as bonds rated AAA. Because
bonds rated in the AAA and AA categories are not significantly vulnerable
to foreseeable future developments, short-term debt of these issuers is
generally rated F-1+. Plus (+) and minus (-) signs are used with the
rating symbol AA to indicate the relative position of a credit within the
rating category.
Short-Term Ratings
Fitch's short-term ratings apply to debt obligations that are payable
on demand or have original maturities of up to three years, including
commercial paper, certificates of deposit, medium-term notes, and municipal
and investment notes.
Although the credit analysis is similar to Fitch's bond rating
analysis, the short-term rating places greater emphasis than bond ratings
on the existence of liquidity necessary to meet the issuer's obligations in
a timely manner.
F-1+
Exceptionally Strong Credit Quality. Issues assigned this rating are
regarded as having the strongest degree of assurance for timely payment.
F-1
Very Strong Credit Quality. Issues assigned this rating reflect an
assurance of timely payment only slightly less in degree than issues rated
F-1+.
F-2
Good Credit Quality. Issues carrying this rating have a satisfactory
degree of assurance for timely payment, but the margin of safety is not as
great as the F-1+ and
F-1 categories.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Reference is made to Page 3 of the Fund's Prospectus dated September 28, 1995.
See notes to financial statements.
DREYFUS MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND, 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. Dreyfus Service
Corporation, until August 24, 1994, acted as the exclusive distributor of the
Fund's shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge. Dreyfus
Service Corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Dreyfus Corporation
("Manager"). Effective August 24, 1994, the Manager became a direct
subsidiary of Mellon Bank, N.A.
On August 24, 1994, Premier Mutual Fund Services, Inc. (the
"Distributor") was engaged as the Fund's distributor. 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.
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. Interest income, adjusted
for amortization of premiums and original issue discounts on investments, is
earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Realized
gain and loss from securities transactions are recorded on the identified
cost basis.
(C) DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS: It is the policy of the Fund to declare
dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly.
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.
(D) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the policy of the Fund to continue to
qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax exempt
dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital
gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all Federal income and
excise taxes.
The Fund has an unused capital loss carryover of approximately $1,338,000
available for Federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net
securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to May 31, 1995. If not
applied, the carryover expires in fiscal 1996.
At May 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 computed at the annual rate of 1/2 of 1% of the average
daily value of the Fund's net assets and is
DREYFUS MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
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 the
expense limitation of any state having jurisdiction over the Fund. The most
stringent state expense limitation applicable to the Fund presently requires
reimbursement of expenses in any full fiscal year that such expenses exceed 2
1/2% of the first $30 million, 2% of the next $70 million and 1 1/2% of the
excess over $100 million of the average value of the Fund's net assets in
accordance with California "blue sky" regulations. There was no expense
reimbursement for the year ended May 31, 1995.
(B) Pursuant to the Fund's Shareholder Services Plan, the Fund reimburses
Dreyfus Service Corporation an amount not to exceed an annual rate of .25 of
1% of the value of the Fund's average daily net assets for servicing
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 May
31, 1995, the Fund was charged an aggregate of $356,051 pursuant to the
Shareholder Services Plan.
(C) Prior to August 24, 1994, certain officers and directors of the Fund
were "affiliated persons," as defined in the Act, of the Manager and/or
Dreyfus Service Corporation. Each director who is not an "affiliated person"
receives an annual fee of $4,500 and an attendance fee of $500 per meeting.
The Chairman of the Board receives an additional 25% of such compensation.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS
DREYFUS MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND, INC.
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Dreyfus Municipal Money Market Fund, Inc., including the statement of
investments, as of May 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 May 31, 1995 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 Dreyfus Municipal Money Market Fund, Inc. at May 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

MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
DREYFUS MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND, INC.
August 24, 1994
The Dreyfus Corporation
200 Park Avenue
New York, New York 10166
Dear Sirs:
The above-named investment company (the "Fund")
herewith confirms its agreement with you as follows:
The Fund desires to employ its capital by investing and
reinvesting the same in investments of the type and in accordance
with the limitations specified in its charter documents and in
its Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information as from
time to time in effect, copies of which have been or will be
submitted to you, and in such manner and to such extent as from
time to time may be approved by the Fund's Board. The Fund
desires to employ you to act as its investment adviser.
In this connection it is understood that from time to
time you will employ or associate with yourself such person or
persons as you may believe to be particularly fitted to assist
you in the performance of this Agreement. Such person or persons
may be officers or employees who are employed by both you and the
Fund. The compensation of such person or persons shall be paid
by you and no obligation may be incurred on the Fund's behalf in
any such respect.
Subject to the supervision and approval of the Fund's
Board, you will provide investment management of the Fund's
portfolio in accordance with the Fund's investment objectives and
policies as stated in its Prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information as from time to time in effect. In connection
therewith, you will obtain and provide investment research and
will supervise the Fund's investments and conduct a continuous
program of investment, evaluation and, if appropriate, sale and
reinvestment of the Fund's assets. You will furnish to the Fund
such statistical information, with respect to the investments
which the Fund may hold or contemplate purchasing, as the Fund
may reasonably request. The Fund wishes to be informed of
important developments materially affecting its portfolio and
shall expect you, on your own initiative, to furnish to the Fund
from time to time such information as you may believe appropriate
for this purpose.
In addition, you will supply office facilities (which
may be in your own offices), data processing services, clerical,
accounting and bookkeeping services, internal auditing and legal
services, internal executive and administrative services, and
stationery and office supplies; prepare reports to the Fund's
stockholders, tax returns, reports to and filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and state Blue Sky
authorities; calculate the net asset value of the Fund's shares;
and generally assist in all aspects of the Fund's operations.
You shall have the right, at your expense, to engage other
entities to assist you in performing some or all of the
obligations set forth in this paragraph, provided each such
entity enters into an agreement with you in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Fund. You agree to be liable for
the acts or omissions of each such entity to the same extent as
if you had acted or failed to act under the circumstances.
You shall exercise your best judgment in rendering the
services to be provided to the Fund hereunder and the Fund agrees
as an inducement to your undertaking the same that you shall not
be liable hereunder for any error of judgment or mistake of law
or for any loss suffered by the Fund, provided that nothing
herein shall be deemed to protect or purport to protect you
against any liability to the Fund or to its security holders to
which you would otherwise be subject by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of
your duties hereunder, or by reason of your reckless disregard of
your obligations and duties hereunder.
In consideration of services rendered pursuant to this
Agreement, the Fund will pay you on the first business day of
each month a fee at the annual rate of .50 of 1% of the value of
the Fund's average daily net assets. Net asset value shall be
computed on such days and at such time or times as described in
the Fund's then-current Prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information. Upon any termination of this Agreement before the
end of any month, the fee for such part of a month shall be pro-
rated according to the proportion which such period bears to the
full monthly period and shall be payable upon the date of
termination of this Agreement.
For the purpose of determining fees payable to you, the
value of the Fund's net assets shall be computed in the manner
specified in the Fund's charter documents for the computation of
the value of the Fund's net assets.
You will bear all expenses in connection with the
performance of your services under this Agreement. All other
expenses to be incurred in the operation of the Fund will be
borne by the Fund, except to the extent specifically assumed by
you. The expenses to be borne by the Fund include, without
limitation, the following: organizational costs, taxes,
interest, loan commitment fees, interest and distributions paid
on securities sold short, brokerage fees and commissions, if any,
fees of Board members who are not your officers, directors or
employees or holders of 5% or more of your outstanding voting
securities, Securities and Exchange Commission fees and state
Blue Sky qualification fees, advisory fees, charges of
custodians, transfer and dividend disbursing agents' fees,
certain insurance premiums, industry association fees, outside
auditing and legal expenses, costs of independent pricing
services, costs of maintaining the Fund's existence, costs
attributable to investor services (including, without limitation,
telephone and personnel expenses), costs of preparing and
printing prospectuses and statements of additional information
for regulatory purposes and for distribution to existing
stockholders, costs of stockholders' reports and meetings, and
any extraordinary expenses.
If in any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the
Fund (including fees pursuant to this Agreement, but excluding
interest, taxes, brokerage and, with the prior written consent of
the necessary state securities commissions, extraordinary
expenses) exceed the expense limitation of any state having
jurisdiction over the Fund, the Fund may deduct from the fees to
be paid hereunder, or you will bear, such excess expense to the
extent required by state law. Your obligation pursuant hereto
will be limited to the amount of your fees hereunder. Such
deduction or payment, if any, will be estimated daily, and
reconciled and effected or paid, as the case may be, on a monthly
basis.
The Fund understands that you now act, and that from
time to time hereafter you may act, as investment adviser to one
or more other investment companies and fiduciary or other managed
accounts, and the Fund has no objection to your so acting,
provided that when the purchase or sale of securities of the same
issuer is suitable for the investment objectives of two or more
companies or accounts managed by you which have available funds
for investment, the available securities will be allocated in a
manner believed by you to be equitable to each company or
account. It is recognized that in some cases this procedure may
adversely affect the price paid or received by the Fund or the
size of the position obtainable for or disposed of by the Fund.
In addition, it is understood that the persons employed
by you to assist in the performance of your duties hereunder will
not devote their full time to such service and nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict your right or the
right of any of your affiliates to engage in and devote time and
attention to other businesses or to render services of whatever
kind or nature.
You shall not be liable for any error of judgment or
mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Fund in connection
with the matters to which this Agreement relates, except for a
loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence on your part in the performance of your duties or from
reckless disregard by you of your obligations and duties under
this Agreement. Any person, even though also your officer,
director, partner, employee or agent, who may be or become an
officer, Board member, employee or agent of the Fund, shall be
deemed, when rendering services to the Fund or acting on any
business of the Fund, to be rendering such services to or acting
solely for the Fund and not as your officer, director, partner,
employee or agent or one under your control or direction even
though paid by you.
This Agreement shall continue until February 21, 1995,
and thereafter shall continue automatically for successive annual
periods ending on February 21st of each year, provided such
continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (i) the
Fund's Board or (ii) vote of a majority (as defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940) of the Fund's outstanding voting
securities, provided that in either event its continuance also is
approved by a majority of the Fund's Board members who are not
"interested persons" (as defined in said Act) of any party to
this Agreement, by vote cast in person at a meeting called for
the purpose of voting on such approval. This Agreement is
terminable without penalty, on 60 days' notice, by the Fund's
Board or by vote of holders of a majority of the Fund's shares
or, upon not less than 90 days' notice, by you. This Agreement
also will terminate automatically in the event of its assignment
(as defined in said Act).
The Fund recognizes that from time to time your
directors, officers and employees may serve as directors,
trustees, partners, officers and employees of other corporations,
business trusts, partnerships or other entities (including other
investment companies) and that such other entities may include
the name "Dreyfus" as part of their name, and that your
corporation or its affiliates may enter into investment advisory
or other agreements with such other entities. If you cease to
act as the Fund's investment adviser, the Fund agrees that, at
your request, the Fund will take all necessary action to change
the name of the Fund to a name not including "Dreyfus" in any
form or combination of words.
If the foregoing is in accordance with your
understanding, will you kindly so indicate by signing and
returning to us the enclosed copy hereof.
Very truly yours,

Dear Sirs:
This is to confirm that, in consideration of the agree-
ments hereinafter contained, the above-named investment company
(the "Fund") has agreed that you shall be, for the period of
this agreement, the distributor of (a) shares of each Series of
the Fund set forth on Exhibit A hereto, as such Exhibit may be
revised from time to time (each, a "Series") or (b) if no Series
are set forth on such Exhibit, shares of the Fund. For purposes
of this agreement the term "Shares" shall mean the authorized
shares of the relevant Series, if any, and otherwise shall mean
the Fund's authorized shares.
1. Services as Distributor
1.1 You will act as agent for the distribution of
Shares covered by, and in accordance with, the registration
statement and prospectus then in effect under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and will transmit promptly any orders
received by you for purchase or redemption of Shares to the
Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the Fund of which the
Fund has notified you in writing.
1.2 You agree to use your best efforts to solicit
orders for the sale of Shares. It is contemplated that you will
enter into sales or servicing agreements with securities
dealers, financial institutions and other industry
professionals, such as investment advisers, accountants and
estate planning firms, and in so doing you will act only on your
own behalf as principal.
1.3 You shall act as distributor of Shares in
compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations,
including, without limitation, all rules and regulations made or
adopted pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any
securities association registered under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended.
1.4 Whenever in their judgment such action is
warranted by market, economic or political conditions, or by
abnormal circumstances of any kind, the Fund's officers may
decline to accept any orders for, or make any sales of, any
Shares until such time as they deem it advisable to accept such
orders and to make such sales and the Fund shall advise you
promptly of such determination.
1.5 The Fund agrees to pay all costs and expenses in
connection with the registration of Shares under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and all expenses in connection with
maintaining facilities for the issue and transfer of Shares and
for supplying information, prices and other data to be furnished
by the Fund hereunder, and all expenses in connection with the
preparation and printing of the Fund's prospectuses and
statements of additional information for regulatory purposes and
for distribution to shareholders; provided however, that nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to require the Fund to pay any
of the costs of advertising the sale of Shares.
1.6 The Fund agrees to execute any and all documents
and to furnish any and all information and otherwise to take all
actions which may be reasonably necessary in the discretion of
the Fund's officers in connection with the qualification of
Shares for sale in such states as you may designate to the Fund
and the Fund may approve, and the Fund agrees to pay all
expenses which may be incurred in connection with such
qualification. You shall pay all expenses connected with your
own qualification as a dealer under state or Federal laws and,
except as otherwise specifically provided in this agreement, all
other expenses incurred by you in connection with the sale of
Shares as contemplated in this agreement.
1.7 The Fund shall furnish you from time to time, for
use in connection with the sale of Shares, such information with
respect to the Fund or any relevant Series and the Shares as you
may reasonably request, all of which shall be signed by one or
more of the Fund's duly authorized officers; and the Fund
warrants that the statements contained in any such information,
when so signed by the Fund's officers, shall be true and
correct. The Fund also shall furnish you upon request with:
(a) semi-annual reports and annual audited reports of the Fund's
books and accounts made by independent public accountants
regularly retained by the Fund, (b) quarterly earnings
statements prepared by the Fund, (c) a monthly itemized list of
the securities in the Fund's or, if applicable, each Series'
portfolio, (d) monthly balance sheets as soon as practicable
after the end of each month, and (e) from time to time such
additional information regarding the Fund's financial condition
as you may reasonably request.
1.8 The Fund represents to you that all registration
statements and prospectuses filed by the Fund with the Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, and under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, with respect to the Shares have been carefully prepared
in conformity with the requirements of said Acts and rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission there-
under. As used in this agreement the terms "registration state-
ment" and "prospectus" shall mean any registration statement and
prospectus, including the statement of additional information
incorporated by reference therein, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and any amendments and supplements thereto
which at any time shall have been filed with said Commission.
The Fund represents and warrants to you that any registration
statement and prospectus, when such registration statement
becomes effective, will contain all statements required to be
stated therein in conformity with said Acts and the rules and
regulations of said Commission; that all statements of fact
contained in any such registration statement and prospectus will
be true and correct when such registration statement becomes
effective; and that neither any registration statement nor any
prospectus when such registration statement becomes effective
will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading. The Fund may but
shall not be obligated to propose from time to time such amend-
ment or amendments to any registration statement and such
supplement or supplements to any prospectus as, in the light of
future developments, may, in the opinion of the Fund's counsel,
be necessary or advisable. If the Fund shall not propose such
amendment or amendments and/or supplement or supplements within
fifteen days after receipt by the Fund of a written request from
you to do so, you may, at your option, terminate this agreement
or decline to make offers of the Fund's securities until such
amendments are made. The Fund shall not file any amendment to
any registration statement or supplement to any prospectus
without giving you reasonable notice thereof in advance;
provided, however, that nothing contained in this agreement
shall in any way limit the Fund's right to file at any time such
amendments to any registration statement and/or supplements to
any prospectus, of whatever character, as the Fund may deem
advisable, such right being in all respects absolute and
unconditional.
1.9 The Fund authorizes you to use any prospectus in
the form furnished to you from time to time, in connection with
the sale of Shares. The Fund agrees to indemnify, defend and
hold you, your several officers and directors, and any person
who controls you within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securi-
ties Act of 1933, as amended, free and harmless from and against
any and all claims, demands, liabilities and expenses (including
the cost of investigating or defending such claims, demands or
liabilities and any counsel fees incurred in connection there-
with) which you, your officers and directors, or any such con-
trolling person, may incur under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or under common law or otherwise, arising out of or
based upon any untrue statement, or alleged untrue statement, of
a material fact contained in any registration statement or any
prospectus or arising out of or based upon any omission, or
alleged omission, to state a material fact required to be stated
in either any registration statement or any prospectus or
necessary to make the statements in either thereof not
misleading; provided, however, that the Fund's agreement to
indemnify you, your officers or directors, and any such control-
ling person shall not be deemed to cover any claims, demands,
liabilities or expenses arising out of any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in
any registration statement or prospectus in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Fund by you
specifically for use in the preparation thereof. The Fund's
agreement to indemnify you, your officers and directors, and any
such controlling person, as aforesaid, is expressly conditioned
upon the Fund's being notified of any action brought against
you, your officers or directors, or any such controlling person,
such notification to be given by letter or by telegram addressed
to the Fund at its address set forth above within ten days after
the summons or other first legal process shall have been served.
The failure so to notify the Fund of any such action shall not
relieve the Fund from any liability which the Fund may have to
the person against whom such action is brought by reason of any
such untrue, or alleged untrue, statement or omission, or
alleged omission, otherwise than on account of the Fund's
indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph 1.9. The Fund
will be entitled to assume the defense of any suit brought to
enforce any such claim, demand or liability, but, in such case,
such defense shall be conducted by counsel of good standing
chosen by the Fund and approved by you. In the event the Fund
elects to assume the defense of any such suit and retain counsel
of good standing approved by you, the defendant or defendants in
such suit shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional
counsel retained by any of them; but in case the Fund does not
elect to assume the defense of any such suit, or in case you do
not approve of counsel chosen by the Fund, the Fund will
reimburse you, your officers and directors, or the controlling
person or persons named as defendant or defendants in such suit,
for the fees and expenses of any counsel retained by you or
them. The Fund's indemnification agreement contained in this
paragraph 1.9 and the Fund's representations and warranties in
this agreement shall remain operative and in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of
you, your officers and directors, or any controlling person, and
shall survive the delivery of any Shares. This agreement of
indemnity will inure exclusively to your benefit, to the benefit
of your several officers and directors, and their respective
estates, and to the benefit of any controlling persons and their
successors. The Fund agrees promptly to notify you of the
commencement of any litigation or proceedings against the Fund
or any of its officers or Board members in connection with the
issue and sale of Shares.
1.10 You agree to indemnify, defend and hold the Fund,
its several officers and Board members, and any person who con-
trols the Fund within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securi-
ties Act of 1933, as amended, free and harmless from and against
any and all claims, demands, liabilities and expenses (including
the cost of investigating or defending such claims, demands or
liabilities and any counsel fees incurred in connection there-
with) which the Fund, its officers or Board members, or any such
controlling person, may incur under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, or under common law or otherwise, but only to the
extent that such liability or expense incurred by the Fund, its
officers or Board members, or such controlling person resulting
from such claims or demands, shall arise out of or be based upon
any untrue, or alleged untrue, statement of a material fact
contained in information furnished in writing by you to the Fund
specifically for use in the Fund's registration statement and
used in the answers to any of the items of the registration
statement or in the corresponding statements made in the pro-
spectus, or shall arise out of or be based upon any omission, or
alleged omission, to state a material fact in connection with
such information furnished in writing by you to the Fund and
required to be stated in such answers or necessary to make such
information not misleading. Your agreement to indemnify the
Fund, its officers and Board members, and any such controlling
person, as aforesaid, is expressly conditioned upon your being
notified of any action brought against the Fund, its officers or
Board members, or any such controlling person, such notification
to be given by letter or telegram addressed to you at your
address set forth above within ten days after the summons or
other first legal process shall have been served. You shall
have the right to control the defense of such action, with
counsel of your own choosing, satisfactory to the Fund, if such
action is based solely upon such alleged misstatement or
omission on your part, and in any other event the Fund, its
officers or Board members, or such controlling person shall each
have the right to participate in the defense or preparation of
the defense of any such action. The failure so to notify you of
any such action shall not relieve you from any liability which
you may have to the Fund, its officers or Board members, or to
such controlling person by reason of any such untrue, or alleged
untrue, statement or omission, or alleged omission, otherwise
than on account of your indemnity agreement contained in this
paragraph 1.10. This agreement of indemnity will inure
exclusively to the Fund's benefit, to the benefit of the Fund's
officers and Board members, and their respective estates, and to
the benefit of any controlling persons and their successors.
You agree promptly to notify the Fund of the commencement of any
litigation or proceedings against you or any of your officers or
directors in connection with the issue and sale of Shares.
1.11 No Shares shall be offered by either you or the
Fund under any of the provisions of this agreement and no orders
for the purchase or sale of such Shares hereunder shall be
accepted by the Fund if and so long as the effectiveness of the
registration statement then in effect or any necessary amend-
ments thereto shall be suspended under any of the provisions of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or if and so long as a
current prospectus as required by Section 10 of said Act, as
amended, is not on file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission; provided, however, that nothing contained in this
paragraph 1.11 shall in any way restrict or have an application
to or bearing upon the Fund's obligation to repurchase any
Shares from any shareholder in accordance with the provisions of
the Fund's prospectus or charter documents.
1.12 The Fund agrees to advise you immediately in
writing:
(a) of any request by the Securities and Exchange
Commission for amendments to the registration statement
or prospectus then in effect or for additional
information;
(b) in the event of the issuance by the Securities
and Exchange Commission of any stop order suspending
the effectiveness of the registration statement or pro-
spectus then in effect or the initiation of any
proceeding for that purpose;
(c) of the happening of any event which makes
untrue any statement of a material fact made in the
registration statement or prospectus then in effect or
which requires the making of a change in such registra-
tion statement or prospectus in order to make the
statements therein not misleading; and
(d) of all actions of the Securities and
Exchange Commission with respect to any amendments to
any registration statement or prospectus which may from
time to time be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
2. Offering Price
Shares of any class of the Fund offered for sale by you
shall be offered for sale at a price per share (the "offering
price") approximately equal to (a) their net asset value
(determined in the manner set forth in the Fund's charter
documents) plus (b) a sales charge, if any and except to those
persons set forth in the then-current prospectus, which shall be
the percentage of the offering price of such Shares as set forth
in the Fund's then-current prospectus. The offering price, if
not an exact multiple of one cent, shall be adjusted to the
nearest cent. In addition, Shares of any class of the Fund
offered for sale by you may be subject to a contingent deferred
sales charge as set forth in the Fund's then-current prospectus.
You shall be entitled to receive any sales charge or contingent
deferred sales charge in respect of the Shares. Any payments to
dealers shall be governed by a separate agreement between you
and such dealer and the Fund's then-current prospectus.
3. Term
This agreement shall continue until the date (the
"Reapproval Date") set forth on Exhibit A hereto (and, if the
Fund has Series, a separate Reapproval Date shall be specified
on Exhibit A for each Series), and thereafter shall continue
automatically for successive annual periods ending on the day
(the "Reapproval Day") of each year set forth on Exhibit A
hereto, provided such continuance is specifically approved at
least annually by (i) the Fund's Board or (ii) vote of a
majority (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of
the Shares of the Fund or the relevant Series, as the case may
be, provided that in either event its continuance also is
approved by a majority of the Board members who are not
"interested persons" (as defined in said Act) of any party to
this agreement, by vote cast in person at a meeting called for
the purpose of voting on such approval. This agreement is
terminable without penalty, on 60 days' notice, by vote of
holders of a majority of the Fund's or, as to any relevant
Series, such Series' outstanding voting securities or by the
Fund's Board as to the Fund or the relevant Series, as the case
may be. This agreement is terminable by you, upon 270 days'
notice, effective on or after the fifth anniversary of the date
hereof. This agreement also will terminate automatically, as to
the Fund or relevant Series, as the case may be, in the event of
its assignment (as defined in said Act).
4. Exclusivity
So long as you act as the distributor of Shares, you
shall not perform any services for any entity other than
investment companies advised or administered by The Dreyfus
Corporation. The Fund acknowledges that the persons employed by
you to assist in the performance of your duties under this
agreement may not devote their full time to such service and
nothing contained in this agreement shall be deemed to limit or
restrict your or any of your affiliates right to engage in and
devote time and attention to other businesses or to render
services of whatever kind or nature.
Please confirm that the foregoing is in accordance with
your understanding and indicate your acceptance hereof by
signing below, whereupon it shall become a binding agreement
between us.

DREYFUS MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND, INC.
SHAREHOLDER SERVICES PLAN
Introduction: It has been proposed that the above-
captioned investment company (the "Fund") adopt a Shareholder
Services Plan (the "Plan") under which the Fund would reimburse
Dreyfus Service Corporation ("DSC") for certain allocated
expenses of providing personal services and/or maintaining
shareholder accounts to (a) shareholders of each series of the
Fund or class of Fund shares set forth on Exhibit A hereto, as
such Exhibit may be revised from time to time, or (b) if no
series or classes are set forth on such Exhibit, shareholders of
the Fund. The Plan is not to be adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"),
and the fee under the Plan is intended to be a "service fee" as
defined in Article III, Section 26 (a "Service Fee"), of the NASD
Rules of Fair Practice (the "NASD Rules").
The Fund's Board, in considering whether the Fund
should implement a written plan, has requested and evaluated such
information as it deemed necessary to an informed determination
as to whether a written plan should be implemented and has
considered such pertinent factors as it deemed necessary to form
the basis for a decision to use Fund assets for such purposes.
In voting to approve the implementation of such a plan,
the Board has concluded, in the exercise of its reasonable
business judgment and in light of applicable fiduciary duties,
that there is a reasonable likelihood that the plan set forth
below will benefit the Fund and its shareholders.
The Plan: The material aspects of this Plan are as
follows:
1. The Fund shall reimburse DSC an amount not to
exceed an annual rate of .25 of 1% of the value of the Fund's
average daily net assets for its allocated expenses of providing
personal services to shareholders and/or maintaining shareholder
accounts; provided that, at no time, shall the amount paid to DSC
under this Plan, together with amounts otherwise paid by the
Fund, or each series or class identified on Exhibit A, as a
Service Fee under the NASD Rules, exceed the maximum amount then
payable under the NASD Rules as a Service Fee. The amount of
such reimbursement shall be based on an expense allocation
methodology prepared by DSC annually and approved by the Fund's
Board or on any other basis from time to time deemed reasonable
by the Fund's Board.
2. For the purposes of determining the fees payable
under this Plan, the value of the net assets of the Fund or the
net assets attributable to each series or class of Fund shares
identified on Exhibit A, shall be computed in the manner
specified in the Fund's charter documents for the computation of
the value of the Fund's net assets.
3. The Board shall be provided, at least quarterly,
with a written report of all amounts expended pursuant to this
Plan. The report shall state the purpose for which the amounts
were expended.
4. This Plan will become effective immediately upon
approval by a majority of the Board members, including a majority
of the Board members who are not "interested persons" (as defined
in the Act) of the Fund and have no direct or indirect financial
interest in the operation of this Plan or in any agreements
entered into in connection with this Plan, pursuant to a vote
cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
the approval of this Plan.
5. This Plan shall continue for a period of one year
from its effective date, unless earlier terminated in accordance
with its terms, and thereafter shall continue automatically for
successive annual periods, provided such continuance is approved
at least annually in the manner provided in paragraph 4 hereof.
6. This Plan may be amended at any time by the Board,
provided that any material amendments of the terms of this Plan
shall become effective only upon approval as provided in
paragraph 4 hereof.
7. This Plan is terminable without penalty at any
time by vote of a majority of the Board members who are not
"interested persons" (as defined in the Act) of the Fund and have
no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of this
Plan or in any agreements entered into in connection with this
Plan.

Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Dreyfus Tax Exempt Money
Market Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") in connection with the
preparation of a Registration Statement on Form N-1 (the
"Registration Statement") covering shares of Common Stock, par
value $.01 per share, of the Fund.
We have examined copies of the Certificate of
Incorporation and By-Laws of the Fund, as amended to date, the
Registration Statement, and such other corporate records and
documents, including the minutes of the meetings and consents of
the shareholders and the Board of Directors of the Fund, as we
have deemed necessary for the purpose of this opinion. We have
also examined such other documents, papers, statutes and
authorities as we deemed necessary to form a basis for the
opinion hereinafter expressed. In our examinations of such
material, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and
the conformity to original documents of all copies submitted to
us. As to various questions of fact material to such opinion,
we have relied upon statements and certificates of officers and
representatives of the Fund and others. Attorneys involved in
the preparation of this opinion are admitted only to the bar of
the State of New York.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
The shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share,
of the Fund, to be issued in accordance with the terms of the
offering, as set forth in the Prospectus included as part of the
Registration Statement, when so issued and paid for, will
constitute validly authorized and issued shares of Common Stock,
fully paid and nonassessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an
exhibit to the said Registration Statement and to the reference
to us in the Prospectus included in said Registration Statement,
and to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to any
application made by or on behalf of the Fund or any Distributor
or Dealer in connection with the registration or qualification
of the Fund or its Common Stock under the securities laws of any
state or other jurisdiction.
