PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Shareholder:

I am pleased to present the Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders for Money Market
Trust
(the "Trust"), which covers the six-month period ended January 31, 1995. The
Report begins with our Investment Review, which is a brief commentary on the
short-term government market from the Trust's portfolio manager. Following the
Investment Review, you will find Financial Statements containing the Trust's
Portfolio of Investments.

The Trust is managed to pursue competitive daily income along with the
additional advantages of daily liquidity and stability of principal.* At the end
of the reporting period, the Trust's portfolio was invested primarily in
high-quality commercial paper, variable rate obligations, and repurchase
agreements.

At the end of the period, the Trust's net assets stood at $551.6 million.
Dividends paid to shareholders during the period totaled $13.4 million, or $0.02
per share.

Thank you for your confidence in Money Market Trust. We welcome your comments
and suggestions.

Sincerely,

Glen R. Johnson
President
March 15, 1995

INVESTMENT REVIEW
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Trust invests exclusively in money market instruments maturing in twelve
months or less. The average maturity of these securities, computed on a
dollar-weighted basis, is restricted to 90 days or less. Portfolio securities
must be rated in the highest short-term rating category by one or more of the
nationally recognized statistical rating organizations, or be of comparable
quality to securities having such ratings. Typical security types include, but
are not limited to, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, time deposits,
variable rate instruments and repurchase agreements.

During the reporting period, the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") continued its
restrictive interest rate stance. The Fed tightened monetary policy by
increasing the federal funds target rate from 4.25% to 5.50% over the period.
Despite the continued low inflationary environment, solid economic growth, and
increasing employment rolls, capacity constraints would appear to point toward
another increase to the targeted fed funds rate early in 1995.

The target average maturity range for the Trust has remained in its current
30-40 day range throughout the reporting period. This reflects management's
continuing bias that the money market yield curve is fairly steep, and value can
be obtained through both structure and by stepping out the curve a bit. In
structuring the Trust's portfolio, there is continued emphasis placed on
positioning 25-30% of the Trust's assets in variable rate demand notes and
accomplishing a modest barbell structure.

Being on the shorter end of the average maturity spectrum has proven to be
helpful over the reporting period. The Fed has twice raised short-term rates
since July 31, 1994. Despite the fact that both the Consumer Price Index and the
Producer's Price Index indicate moderate inflationary levels, the Fed continues
to fight "inflation expectations."

During the six months ended January 31, 1995, the net assets of Money Market
Trust increased from $539.9 to $551.6 million, while the 7-day yield increased
from 4.09% to 5.56%*. The effective average maturity of the Trust on January 31,
1995, was 30 days.

* Performance quoted represents past performance and is not indicative of future
  results. Yield will vary.

MONEY MARKET TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 1995 (UNAUDITED)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) ORGANIZATION

Money Market Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as a diversified, open-end management
investment company.

(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. These
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

<TABLE>
<S>  <C>
     INVESTMENT VALUATIONS--The Trust's use of the amortized cost method to value its
     portfolio securities is in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act.

     REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--It is the policy of the Trust to require the custodian bank to
     take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or
     to have segregated within the custodian bank's vault, all securities held as collateral
     in support of repurchase agreement investments. Additionally, procedures have been
     established by the Trust to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of each
     repurchase agreement's underlying collateral to ensure that the value of collateral at
     least equals the principal amount of the repurchase agreement, including accrued
     interest.

     The Trust will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized
     financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed by the Trust's adviser
     to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines established by the Board of Trustees (the
     "Trustees"). Risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to honor the
     terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly, the Trust could receive less than the
     repurchase price on the sale of collateral securities.

     INVESTMENT INCOME, EXPENSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS--Interest income and expenses are accrued
     daily. Bond premium and discount, if applicable, are amortized as required by the
     Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the "Code"). Distributions to shareholders are
     recorded on the ex-dividend date.

     FEDERAL TAXES--It is the Trust's policy to comply with the provisions of the Code
     applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year
     substantially all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provisions for federal tax are
     necessary.
</TABLE>


MONEY MARKET TRUST
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<TABLE>
<S>  <C>
     WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS--The Trust may engage in when-issued or
     delayed delivery transactions. The Trust records when-issued securities on the trade
     date and maintains security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be
     available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a
     when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning
     interest on the settlement date.

     OTHER--Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date.
</TABLE>

(3) SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of

agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer's expense, either
upon demand by the Trust or in connection with another registered offering of
the securities. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under
criteria established by the Trustees. The Trust will not incur any registration
costs upon such resales. The Trust's restricted securities are valued at the
price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are
available, at the fair value as determined by the Trust's pricing committee.

Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any
bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other
government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk,
including possible loss of principal. Although money market funds seek to
maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, there is no assurance that
they will be able to do so.
