+  All securities either mature or their interest rate changes in one year or 
less.

*  Variable Rate Demand Notes (VRDN) are instruments whose interest rates 
change on a specified date (such as a coupon date or interest payment date) or 
whose interest rates vary with changes in a designated base rate (such as the 
prime interest rate). These instruments are payable on demand and are secured 
by letters of credit or other credit support agreements from major banks. 
Periodic Put Bonds (PPB) are payable on demand quarterly, semi-annually or 
annually and their interest rates change less frequently than rates on Variable 
Rate Demand Notes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995 (UNAUDITED)     ALLIANCE MUNICIPAL TRUST - VIRGINIA PORTFOLIO
_______________________________________________________________________________

NOTE A: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Alliance Municipal Trust (the 'Fund') is registered under the Investment 
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company. The Fund 
operates as a series company currently issuing seven classes of shares of 
beneficial interest: Alliance Municipal Trust-General Portfolio, Alliance 
Municipal Trust-New York Portfolio, Alliance Municipal Trust-California 
Portfolio, Alliance Municipal Trust-Connecticut Portfolio, Alliance Municipal 
Trust-New Jersey Portfolio, Alliance Municipal Trust-Virginia Portfolio (the 
'Portfolio') and Alliance Municipal Trust-Florida Portfolio. Each series is 
considered to be a separate entity for financial reporting and tax purposes. 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the 
Portfolio.

1. VALUATION OF SECURITIES
Securities in which the Portfolio invests are traded primarily in the 
over-the-counter market and are valued at amortized cost, under which method a 
portfolio instrument is valued at cost and any premium or discount is amortized 
on a constant basis to maturity. Amortization of premium is charged to income. 
Accretion of market discount is credited to unrealized gains.

2. ORGANIZATION EXPENSES
The organization expenses of the Portfolio are being amortized against income 
on a straight-line basis through October, 1999.

3. TAXES
It is the Portfolio's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal 
Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all 
of its investment company taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, 
to its shareholders. Therefore, no provisions for federal income or excise 
taxes are required.

4. DIVIDENDS
The Portfolio declares dividends daily from net investment income and 
automatically reinvests such dividends in additional shares at net asset value. 
Net realized capital gains on investments, if any, are expected to be 
distributed near year end. Dividends paid from net investment income for the 
six months ended December 31, 1995, are exempt from federal income taxes. 
However, certain shareholders may be subject to the alternative minimum tax 
(AMT).

5. GENERAL
Interest income is accrued daily. Security transactions are recorded on the 
date securities are purchased or sold. Realized gain (loss) from security 
transactions is recorded on the identified cost basis.

NOTE B: ADVISORY FEE AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AN AFFILIATE OF THE ADVISER
The Portfolio pays its Adviser, Alliance Capital Management L.P., an advisory 
fee at the annual rate of .50 of 1% on the first $1.25 billion of average daily 
net assets; .49 of 1% on the next $.25 billion; .48 of 1% on the next $.25 
billion; .47 of 1% on the next $.25 billion; .46 of 1% on the next $1 billion; 
and .45 of 1% in excess of $3 billion. The Adviser has agreed, pursuant to the 
advisory agreement, to reimburse the Portfolio to the extent that its annual 
aggregate expenses (excluding taxes, brokerage, interest and, where permitted, 
extraordinary expenses) exceed 1% of its average daily net assets for any 
fiscal year. The Adviser also voluntarily agreed to reimburse the Portfolio for 
all expenses from July 1, 1995 to July 9, 1995 for expenses exceeding .60 of 1% 
of its average daily net assets, from July 10, 1995 to September 17, 1995 for 
expenses exceeding .70 of 1% of its average daily net assets and from September 
18, 1995 to December 31, 1995 for expenses exceeding .80 of 1% of its average 
daily net assets. For the six months ended December 31, 1995, the reimbursement 
amounted to $104,416. The Portfolio compensates Alliance Fund Services, Inc. (a 
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser) for providing personnel and facilities 
to perform transfer agency services for the Portfolio. Such compensation 
amounted to $17,830 for the six months ended December 31, 1995.

_______________________________________________________________________________

NOTE C: DISTRIBUTION ASSISTANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES PLAN
Under this Plan, the Portfolio pays a distribution fee to the Adviser at an 
annual rate of up to .25% of 1% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. 

The Plan provides that the Adviser will use such payments in their entirety for 
distribution assistance and promotional activities. For the six months ended 
December 31, 1995, the distribution amounted to $97,560 of which $39,024 was 
waived. In addition, the Portfolio reimbursed certain broker-dealers for 
administrative costs incurred in connection with providing shareholder 
services, accounting, bookkeeping, legal and compliance support. For the six 
months ended December 31, 1995, such payments by the Portfolio amounted to 
$67,865 of which $47,000 was paid to the Adviser.

NOTE D: INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
At December 31, 1995, the cost of securities for federal income tax purposes 
was the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes. At June 30, 1995 the 
Portfolio had a capital loss carryforward of $7,897 which expires in the year 
2003.

NOTE E: TRANSACTIONS IN SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
An unlimited number of shares ($.01 par value) are authorized. At December 31, 
1995, capital paid-in aggregated $73,760,874. Transactions, all at $1.00 per 
share, were as follows:
