Money Market Trust
Federated Investors Tower
Pittsburgh, PA  15222-3779

Gentlemen:

     You have requested my opinion in connection with the
registration by Money Market Trust ("Trust") of an additional
2,276,889,637 Shares of Beneficial Interest ("Shares") pursuant
to Post-effective Amendment No. 36 to the Trust's registration
statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under
the Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 2-62285). The subject Post-
effective Amendment will be filed pursuant to Paragraph (b) of
Rule 485 and become effective pursuant to said Rule immediately
upon filing.

     As counsel I have participated in the preparation and filing
of the Trust's amended registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933 referred to above. Further, I have
examined and am familiar with the provisions of the Declaration
of Trust dated July 24, 1978, ("Declaration of Trust"), the
Bylaws of the Trust and such other documents and records deemed
relevant. I have also reviewed questions of law and consulted
with counsel thereon as deemed necessary or appropriate by me for
the purposes of this opinion.

     On the basis of the foregoing, it is my opinion that:

     1.   The Trust is duly organized and validly existing under
the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

     2.   The Shares which are currently being registered by the
Registration Statement referred to above may be legally and
validly issued from time to time in accordance with the
Declaration of Trust upon receipt of consideration sufficient to
comply with the Declaration of Trust and subject to compliance
with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, and applicable state laws
regulating the sale of securities. Such Shares, when so issued,
will be fully paid and non-assessable by the Trust.

     I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as a part of
the Trust's registration statement referred to above and as a
part of any application or registration statement filed under the
securities laws of the States of the United States.

     The foregoing opinion is limited to the Federal laws of the
United States and the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
and I am expressing no  opinion as to the effect of the laws of
any other jurisdiction.

                                   Very truly yours,


                                   J. Crilley Kelly
