         Semi-Annual Report

 LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

 Dear Shareholders,

 The  rate of economic growth  slowed significantly in the  first six months of
 1995. Consumers pulled  back after spending  freely in the  fourth quarter  of
 1994,  and production cuts  followed as manufacturers  and retailers sought to
 bring inventories back  into line.  By late  spring, when  continued drops  in
 production  and surprising declines  in employment indicated  the slowdown had
 intensified, concerns about the possibility of recession surfaced. The Federal
 Reserve, which had  maintained a firm  anti-inflation stance through  February
 when  it raised interest  rates for the  seventh time in  just a year, shifted
 policy and cut the Federal Funds rate by 25 basis points on July 6.

 Despite the  recession  concerns,  the  economy appears  to  be  undergoing  a
 mini-cycle--a period of temporary weakness within a longer up cycle--triggered
 by  an inventory correction. By the end  of the second quarter, employment had
 resumed its growth  trend and healthy  increases in housing  and retail  sales
 indicated  that demand was picking up  again. Although production won't follow
 suit immediately, the question is less whether growth will reaccelerate,  than
 how much.

 How  that question is  answered will have  a good deal  to do with determining
 Federal Reserve policy  over the second  half of the  year. Slower first  half
 growth muted many of the inflationary pressures that had built in the pipeline
 during  the latter  half of  1994, providing room  for the  Federal Reserve to
 implement its rate cut in early July. Although the financial markets appear to
 have priced  in  at least  another  25  basis point  reduction  in  short-term
 interest  rates, the timing of the Fed's  next move looks less certain than it
 did only a few  weeks ago. Without additional  evidence of economic  weakness,
 hopes  for  more  than one  more  reduction  in rates  appear  unlikely  to be
 fulfilled.

 HARTFORD MONEY MARKET FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1995 (UNAUDITED)

 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.

 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.

 3.  INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENTS:

    a)    INVESTMENT  ADVISORY  AGREEMENT--The  Hartford  Investment  Management
        Company (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 family  of  mutual  funds.
       Directors'  fees represent remuneration paid  or accrued to directors not
       affiliated with HL or any other related company.
