         Annual Report

 LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
 
 Dear Shareholders,
 
 The  economy provided the ideal background  for the financial markets in 1995.
 Despite some early fears  about overheating, the rate  of economic growth  was
 cut  in half  during the year,  relieving inflation pressures  and opening the
 door for the Federal Reserve to reverse course and reduce short-term  interest
 rates.  By year-end,  interest rates  were back near  their 1993  lows and the
 financial markets had experienced one of the best years in decades. Bonds,  as
 measured  by The Lehman  Government/Corporate Bond Index,  had their best year
 since 1985. The major stock market indexes  made a series of new highs  during
 the  year, as the Dow  Jones Industrial Average had  its best year since 1975,
 and the S&P 500 had its best year since 1958.
 
 With the so called  "soft landing" accomplished in  1995, the question is  how
 much  longer  the current  expansion can  be sustained.  Although the  rate of
 growth appears  to  have  fallen  back  again  in  the  fourth  quarter  after
 rebounding  in  the third,  the  slowing was  partly  the result  of temporary
 factors that are  expected to fade  as 1996 progresses.  In the meantime,  the
 Federal  Reserve  has  demonstrated  its willingness  to  act  whenever growth
 appears to be weakening. The Board  lowered short-term interest rates for  the
 third  time since  last July on  January 31  when it reduced  both its Federal
 Funds rate and the Discount rate by 25 basis points.
 
 Until there is evidence to the contrary, that indicates that the expansion can
 be sustained and the current  consensus calls for continued moderate  economic
 growth  and  low inflation  in 1996--with  growth  coming in  a bit  below the
 average early in the year and a bit above later on. Over the near term, if the
 forecast is wrong, it is likely to  be because growth is weaker than  expected
 as  high debt levels  coupled with tepid  job growth and  income gains lead to
 more severe cuts than currently anticipated in consumer spending. Further out,
 the risk appears to shift to more rapid growth than forecast. Accordingly, the
 odds favor additional interest rate cuts by the Fed.

 Hartford Money Market Fund, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
 
 1.  ORGANIZATION:
 
     Hartford  Money  Market  Fund, Inc.,  (the  Fund) is  registered  under the
     Investment Company Act of  1940, as amended,  as a diversified,  open-ended
     management investment company. The Fund was organized under the laws of the
     State  of Maryland in February 1982, and commenced operations in June 1982.
     The Fund seeks a high level of current income consistent with liquidity and
     preservation of capital through investments in the obligations of the  U.S.
     Government and its agencies, money market instruments, and corporate bonds,
     notes and other debt instruments.
 
 2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
     The  following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Fund,
     which are in  accordance with generally  accepted accounting principles  in
     the investment company industry:
 
    a)   SECURITY TRANSACTIONS--Security transactions  are recorded on the trade
        date (date the  order to buy  or sell is  executed). Security gains  and
        losses are determined on the basis of identified cost.
 
    b)    SECURITY VALUATION--Investments  are valued  at amortized  cost, which
        approximates fair  market  value. Under  the  amortized cost  method  of
        valuation,   an  instrument  is  valued   by  reference  to  the  Fund's
        acquisition cost as adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of
        discount.
 
    c)  REPURCHASE TRANSACTIONS--A repurchase agreement is an agreement by which
        the seller of  a security agrees  to repurchase the  security sold at  a
        mutually agreed upon time and price.
 
        At  the time the Fund  enters into a repurchase  agreement, the value of
        the underlying  collateral  security(ies), including  accrued  interest,
        will be equal to or exceed the value of the repurchase agreement and, in
        the  case of repurchase  agreements exceeding one day,  the value of the
        underlying security(ies), including accrued interest, is required during
        the term of  the agreement to  be equal to  or exceed the  value of  the
        repurchase  agreement.  Security(ies) which  serve to  collateralize the
        repurchase agreement are held by the  Fund's custodian in book entry  or
        physical   form  in  the  custodial  account  of  the  Fund.  Repurchase
        agreements are valued at cost plus accrued interest receivable.
 
    d)  JOINT  TRADING ACCOUNT--Pursuant  to an  exemptive order  issued by  the
        Securities  and Exchange  Commission, the  Fund may  transfer uninvested
        cash  balances  into  a  joint  trading  account  managed  by   Hartford
        Investment Management Company (HIMCO). These balances may be invested in
        one  or  more  repurchase  agreements  and/or  short-term  money  market
        instruments.
 
    e)  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--For Federal income tax purposes, the Fund  intends
        to  qualify as a regulated investment  company under Subchapter M of the
        Internal Revenue Code by distributing  substantially all of its  taxable
        income to its shareholders and otherwise complying with the requirements
        for  regulated  investment  companies.  Accordingly,  no  provision  for
        Federal income taxes has been made.
 
    f)  FUND  SHARE VALUATION  AND DIVIDEND  DISTRIBUTION TO  SHAREHOLDERS--Fund
        shares  are sold and redeemed on a  continuing basis at net asset value.
        Interest income and expenses  are accrued on a  daily basis. The  Fund's
        net  asset  value  per share  is  determined  as of  4:00  p.m., Eastern
        Standard Time, on days the New York Stock Exchange is open for  trading.
        The  Fund seeks to maintain a stable  net asset value per share of $1.00
        by declaring a daily dividend from net investment income, including  net
        realized  gains and  losses, and  by valuing  its investments  using the
        amortized cost method. Dividends are distributed monthly.
 
    g)  USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in  conformity
        with  generally  accepted accounting  principles requires  management to
        make estimates  and  assumptions that  affect  the reported  amounts  of
        assets  and liabilities as  of the date of  the financial statements and
        the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Operating
        results  in  the  future  could  vary  from  the  amounts  derived  from
        management's estimates and assumptions.
 
 3.  INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENTS:
 
    a)    INVESTMENT  ADVISORY AGREEMENT--HIMCO,  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of
        Hartford Life Insurance  Company (HL), serves  as investment adviser  to
        the Fund pursuant to an agreement approved by the Board of Directors and
        shareholders.
 
        Under  the terms  of the  agreement, HIMCO  is compensated  at a maximum
        annual fee of .25% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
 
    b)  ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES  AGREEMENT--HL provides administrative  services
        to  the Fund  and receives an  annual fee  equal to .175%  of the Fund's
        average daily net assets.
 
        The Fund assumes  and pays  certain other expenses  (including, but  not
        limited  to,  shareholder accounting  fees, registration  and directors'
        fees.) These expenses are  either directly attributable  to the Fund  or
        are  allocated based on the  ratio of the net assets  of the Fund to the
        combined net assets of the eleven Hartford Mutual Funds. Directors' fees
        represent remuneration paid or accrued to directors not affiliated  with
        HL or any other related company.

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS OF
HARTFORD MONEY MARKET FUND, INC.:
 
 We  have audited  the accompanying  statement of  net assets  of Hartford Money
 Market Fund, Inc.  (a Maryland corporation)  as of December  31, 1995, and  the
 related  statement of  operations for  the year  then ended,  the statements of
 changes in net assets for each of the  two years in the period then ended,  and
 the  financial highlights for each of the  five years in the period then ended.
 These financial statements and financial  highlights are the responsibility  of
 the  Fund's management.  Our responsibility is  to express an  opinion on these
 financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
 We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
 standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
 reasonable  assurance  about  whether the  financial  statements  and financial
 highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
 test basis, evidence supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the  financial
 statements.  Our  procedures included  confirmation of  securities owned  as of
 December 31, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian. 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
 Hartford  Money Market Fund, Inc.  as of December 31,  1995, the results of its
 operations for the year then ended, the  changes in its net assets for each  of
 the  two years in the period then  ended, and the financial highlights for each
 of the  five  yeras in  the  period then  ended  in conformity  with  generally
 accepted accounting principles.
