NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended October 31, 1996
 
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
U.S. Treasury Portfolio (U.S. Treasury) and Money Market Portfolio (Money
Market)(collectively referred to as "the taxable funds") are funds of Daily
Money Fund (a trust). Fidelity Daily-Tax-Exempt Money Fund (Daily
Tax-Exempt) is a fund of Daily Tax-Exempt Money Fund (a trust). Each trust
is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a
Delaware business trust, and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of
shares.
On October 17, 1996, the Board of Trustees approved a change in the fiscal
year-end of the taxable funds from July 31 to October 31. Accordingly,
their financial statements include the results of operations and changes in
net assets for the three-month period ended October 31, 1996.
U.S. Treasury offers two classes of shares, Initial Class and Class B, each
of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class
has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan. Interest
income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, and the common
expenses of the fund are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based
on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the
fund. Each class of shares differs in its respective distribution, transfer
agent, registration, and certain other class-specific fees and expenses.
 The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles which permit management to make certain
estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The
following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the funds:
SECURITY VALUATION. As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, and
certain conditions therein, securities are valued initially at cost and
thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or
premium.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, each fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for
the fiscal year. The schedules of investments include information regarding
income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of discount, is accrued as earned. For Daily Tax-Exempt,
accretion of market discount represents unrealized gain until realized at
the time of a security disposition or maturity.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of each trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends are declared daily and paid
monthly from net interest income.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES. 
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the taxable funds, along with other
affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may
transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts.
These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S.
Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
Securities are transferred to an account of the funds, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are marked-to-market
daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of
the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the funds'
investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the
underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value
requirements stated above. 
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Money Market and Daily Tax-Exempt are permitted to
invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions
on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt
from registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these 
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
RESTRICTED SECURITIES - CONTINUED
securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt
sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. At the end of the period,
restricted securities (excluding 144A issues) amounted to $45,000,000 or
1.7% of net assets for Money Market. Daily Tax-Exempt had no investments in
restricted securities (excluding 144A issues).
3. JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. 
At the end of the period, U.S. Treasury had 20% or more of its total
investments in repurchase agreements through a joint trading account. These
repurchase agreements were with entities whose creditworthiness has been
reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR. The maturity values of the joint
trading account investments were $1,376,212,623 at 5.56%, $49,287,619 at
5.57% and $80,906,889 at 5.30%. The investments in repurchase agreements
through the joint trading account are summarized as follows:

4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. 
MANAGEMENT FEE. As each fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a fee that
is computed daily at an annual rate of .50% of the fund's average net
assets.
SUB-ADVISER FEE. As each fund's investment sub-adviser, FMR Texas Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of FMR, receives a fee from FMR of 50% of the
management fee payable to FMR. The fee is paid prior to any voluntary
expense reimbursements which may be in effect.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service
Plans (the Plans) adopted by Initial Class shares of each fund, and in
accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, FMR or the funds' distributor,
Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, may use their
resources to pay administrative and promotional expenses related to the
sale of each fund's Initial Class shares. Subject to the approval of each
Board of Trustees, the Plans also authorize payments to third parties that
assist in the sale of each fund's Initial Class shares or render
shareholder support services. FMR or FDC has informed the funds that
payments made to third parties under the Plans amounted to $1,284,231,
$1,411,317 and $1,352,100 for the Initial Class of U.S. Treasury, Money
Market, and Daily Tax-Exempt, respectively, for the period.
In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Trustees have adopted a
separate distribution plan with respect to U.S. Treasury's Class B shares
(Class B Plan). Under the Class B Plan, the fund pays FDC a distribution
and service fee. 
This fee is based on an annual rate of 1.00% (of which .75% represents a
distribution fee and .25% represents a shareholder service fee) of the
average net assets of the Class B shares. For the period,  the fund paid
FDC $48,497 under the Class B Plan, of which $16,950 was paid to securities
dealers, banks and other financial institutions for the distribution of
Class B shares and providing shareholder support services. 
In addition, FMR or FDC may use its resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of the Class B shares. Subject to
the approval of the Board of Trustees, the Class B Plan also authorizes
payments to third parties that assist in the sale of the fund's Class B
shares or render shareholder support services. FMR or FDC has informed the
fund that payments made to third parties under the Class B Plan amounted to
$19,007 for the period.
SALES LOAD. FDC receives the proceeds of a contingent deferred sales charge
levied on U. S. Treasury Class B share redemptions occurring within five
years of purchase. The charge is based on declining rates which range from
4% to 1% of the lesser of the cost of shares at the initial date of
purchase or the net asset value of the redeemed shares, excluding any
reinvested dividends and capital gains. For the period, FDC received
contingent deferred sales charges of $26,013 on Class B share redemptions
from the fund. When Class B shares are sold, FDC pays commissions from its
own resources to dealers through which the sales are made.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company
(FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent for the funds except for Daily Tax-Exempt. UMB
Bank, n.a. (UMB) is the custodian and transfer and shareholder servicing
agent for Daily Tax-Exempt. UMB has entered into a sub-contract with FIIOC
to perform the activities associated with the transfer and shareholder
servicing agent functions for Daily Tax-Exempt. FIIOC receives account fees
and asset-based fees that vary according to account size. FIIOC pays for
typesetting and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy
statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an
annualized rate of .17%, .27%, and .26% of the average net assets for U.S.
Treasury Initial Class, U.S. Treasury Class B and Money Market Initial
Class, respectively. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annual rate of .18% of average net assets for Daily
Tax-Exempt Initial Class.
ACCOUNTING FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains
the accounting records for the taxable funds. UMB also has a sub-contract
with FSC to maintain Daily Tax-Exempt's accounting records. The accounting
fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus
out-of-pocket expenses. For the period, FSC received accounting fees
amounting to $107,140 for Daily Tax-Exempt.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse the funds' operating expenses
(excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses) above a specified percentage of average net assets. 
U.S. TREASURY INITIAL CLASS. For the period, this expense
limitation was .65% of average net assets and the reimbursement reduced
expenses by $169,465.
U.S. TREASURY CLASS B. For the period, this expense limitation was 1.35% of
average net assets and the reimbursement reduced expenses by $23,973.
MONEY MARKET INITIAL CLASS. For the period, this expense limitation was
 .65% of average net assets and the reimbursement reduced expenses by
$819,006.
DAILY TAX-EXEMPT INITIAL CLASS. For the period, this expense limitation was
 .65% of average net assets and the reimbursement reduced expenses by
$543,729.
In addition, each fund has entered into an arrangement with its custodian
whereby interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used to offset a
portion of each fund's expenses. During the period, the custodian fees were
reduced by $69 and $4,573 for Money Market and Daily Tax-Exempt,
respectively, under this arrangement.
6. BENEFICIAL INTEREST.
At the end of the period, 2 shareholders were each record owners of more
than 10% of the total outstanding shares of U.S. Treasury totaling
approximately 41% of Initial Class shares.
7. SHARE TRANSACTIONS.
Share transactions for both classes of U.S. Treasury  at net asset value of
$1.00 per share were as follows:
INITIAL CLASS    THREE MONTHS          YEAR ENDED    YEAR ENDED    
                 ENDED                 JULY 31,      JULY 31,

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
 
To the Trustees of Daily Money Fund and the Shareholders of U.S. Treasury
Portfolio and Money Market Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of
Daily Money Fund: U.S. Treasury Portfolio and Money Market Portfolio,
including the schedules of portfolio investments as of October 31, 1996,
the related statements of operations for the three months then ended, the
statements of changes in net assets for the three months then ended and for
each of the two years in the period ended July 31, 1996 and the financial
highlights of the U.S. Treasury Portfolio (Initial Class) and the Money

1996 and for each of the five years in the period ended July 31, 1996 and

October 31, 1996, for each of the two years in the period ended July 31,
1996, and for the period July 1, 1994 (commencement of operations) to July
31, 1994. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the funds' 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 October 31, 1996 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers. 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 Daily Money Fund: U.S. Treasury Portfolio and Money Market Portfolio as
of October 31, 1996, the results of their operations for the three months
then ended, the changes in their net assets for the three months then ended
and for each of the two years in the period ended July 31, 1996, and the
financial highlights of the U.S. Treasury Portfolio (Initial Class) and the
Money Market Portfolio (Initial Class) for the three months ended October
31, 1996 and for each of the five years in the period ended July 31, 1996
and of the U. S. Treasury Portfolio (Class B) for the three months ended
October 31, 1996, for each of the two years in the period ended July 31,
1996, and for the period July 1, 1994 (commencement of operations) to July
31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the responsibility of Daily Tax-Exempt Money
Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
