The Funds are open-end management investment companies with in-
vestment objectives of safety, liquidity and maximum current in-
come (in the case of Alliance Municipal Trust-General, exempt
from Federal income taxes and, in the case of the New York, Cal-
ifornia, Connecticut, New Jersey, Virginia, Florida and Massa-
chusetts Portfolios, exempt from Federal and state income taxes
of the respective states) to the extent consistent with the
first two objectives. Alliance Capital Reserves, Alliance Gov-
ernment Reserves, Alliance Treasury Reserves and the General
Portfolio of Alliance Municipal Trust are diversified. The New
York, California, Connecticut, New Jersey, Virginia, Florida and
Massachusetts Portfolios of Alliance Municipal Trust are non-di-
versified, and are offered only to residents of each such re-
spective state. This prospectus sets forth the information about
each Fund that a prospective investor should know before invest-
ing. Please retain it for future reference.
AN INVESTMENT IN A FUND IS (I) NEITHER INSURED NOR GUARANTEED
BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT; (II) NOT A DEPOSIT OR OBLIGATION OF, OR
GUARANTEED OR ENDORSED BY, ANY BANK; AND (III) NOT FEDERALLY IN-
SURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION, THE FEDERAL
RESERVE BOARD OR ANY OTHER AGENCY. THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE
THAT A FUND WILL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN A STABLE NET ASSET VALUE OF
$1.00 PER SHARE. THE PORTFOLIOS OF ALLIANCE MUNICIPAL TRUST, EX-
CEPT FOR THE GENERAL PORTFOLIO, MAY INVEST A SIGNIFICANT PORTION
OF THEIR ASSETS IN THE SECURITIES OF A SINGLE ISSUER. ACCORDING-
LY, AN INVESTMENT IN SUCH PORTFOLIOS MAY BE RISKIER THAN AN IN-
VESTMENT IN OTHER TYPES OF MONEY MARKET FUNDS.

vember 1, 1996, (April 17, 1997 in the case of Alliance Munici-
pal Trust--Massachusetts Portfolio) which provides a further

From time to time the Fund advertises its "yield" and "effective yield."
Both yield figures are based on historical earnings and are not intended to
indicate future performance. To calculate the "yield," the amount of dividends
paid on a share during a specified seven-day period is assumed to be paid each
week over a 52-week period and is shown as a percentage of the investment. To
calculate "effective yield," which will be higher than the "yield" because of
compounding, the dividends paid are assumed to be reinvested. For ACR divi-
dends for the seven days ended June 30, 1996 amounted to an annualized yield
of 4.44%, equivalent to an effective yield of 4.54%. For AGR dividends for the
seven days ended June 30, 1996, after expense reimbursement, amounted to an
annualized yield of 4.38%, equivalent to an effective yield of 4.48%. Absent
such reimbursement, the annualized yield for such period would have been
4.29%, equivalent to an effective yield of 4.38%. For ATR dividends for the
seven days ended June 30, 1996, after expense reimbursement, amounted to an
annualized yield of 4.37%, equivalent to an effective yield of 4.47%. Absent
such reimbursement, the annualized yield for such period would have been
4.19%, equivalent to an effective yield of 4.28%. For AMT-General dividends
for the seven days ended June 30, 1996, after expense reimbursement, amounted
to an annualized yield of 2.74%, equivalent to an effective yield of 2.78%.
Absent such reimbursement, the annualized yield for such period would have
been 2.69%, equivalent to an effective yield of 2.73%. For AMT-New York divi-
dends for the seven days ended June 30, 1996, after expense reimbursement,
amounted to an annualized yield of 2.68%, equivalent to an effective yield of
2.72%. Absent such reimbursement, the annualized yield for such period would
have been 2.16%, equivalent to an effective yield of 2.18%. For AMT-California
dividends for the seven days ended June 30, 1996, after expense reimbursement,
amounted to an annualized yield of 2.64%, equivalent to an effective yield of
2.68%. Absent such reimbursement, the annualized yield for such period would
have been 2.56%, equivalent to an effective yield of 2.59%. For AMT-Connecti-
cut dividends for the seven days ended June 30, 1996, after expense reimburse-
ment, amounted to an annualized yield of 2.67%, equivalent to an effective
yield of 2.71%. Absent such reimbursement, the annualized yield for such pe-
riod would have been 2.31%, equivalent to an effective yield of 2.34%. For
AMT-New Jersey dividends for the seven days ended June 30, 1996, after expense
reimbursement, amounted to an annualized yield of 2.61%, equivalent to an ef-
fective yield of 2.64%. Absent such reimbursement, the annualized yield for
such period would have been 2.24%, equivalent to an effective yield of 2.27%.
For AMT-Virginia dividends for the seven days ended June 30, 1996, after ex-
pense reimbursement, amounted to an annualized yield of 2.73%, equivalent to
an effective yield of 2.77%. Absent such reimbursement, the annualized yield
for such period would have been 2.49%, equivalent to an effective yield of
2.52%. For AMT-Florida dividends for the seven days ended June 30, 1996, after
expense reimbursement, amounted to an annualized yield of 2.92%, equivalent to
an effective yield of 2.96%. Absent such reimbursement, the annualized yield
for such period would have been 2.49%, equivalent to an effective yield of
2.52%. The Massachusetts Portfolio did not commence operations until after
June 30, 1996.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The investment objectives of each of the Funds are--in the following order
of priority--safety of principal, excellent liquidity and, to the extent con-
sistent with the first two objectives, maximum current income that is, in the
case of each Portfolio of Alliance Municipal Trust, exempt from income taxa-
tion to the extent described below. As a matter of fundamental policy, each
Fund, except for AMT-Florida and AMT-Massachusetts, pursues its objectives by
maintaining a portfolio of high-quality money market securities all of which
at the time of investment have remaining maturities of one year (397 days with
respect to AMT-New Jersey and AMT-Virginia) or less, which maturities may ex-
tend to 397 days. AMT-Florida and AMT-Massachusetts pursue their objectives by
investing in high quality municipal securities having remaining maturities of
397 days or less (which maturities may extend to such greater length of time
as may be permitted from time to time pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the Invest-
ment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), as amended). While the fundamental
policies described above and the "other fundamental investment policies" de-
scribed below may not be changed without shareholder approval, each Fund may,
upon notice to shareholders, but without such approval, change nonfundamental
investment policies or create additional classes of shares in order to estab-
lish portfolios which may have different investment objectives. There can be
no assurance that any Fund's objectives will be achieved.
The Funds will comply with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act as amended from time to
time, including the diversification, quality and maturity limitations imposed
by the Rule. The average maturity of each Fund's portfolio cannot exceed 90
days. A more detailed description of Rule 2a-7 is set forth in each Fund's
Statement of Additional Information.
ALLIANCE CAPITAL RESERVES
The money market securities in which Alliance Capital Reserves ("ACR") in-
vests include: (1) marketable obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United
States Government, its agencies or instrumentalities (collectively, the "U.S.
Government"); (2) certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances and interest-
bearing savings deposits issued or guaranteed by banks or savings and loan as-
sociations having total assets of more than $1 billion and which are members
of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and certificates of deposit and
bankers' acceptances denominated in U.S. dollars and issued by U.S. branches
of foreign banks having total assets of at least $1 billion that are believed
by the Adviser to be of quality equivalent to that of other such instruments
in which the Fund may invest; (3) commercial paper of prime quality [i.e.,
rated A-1+ or A-1 by Standard & Poor's Corporation ("Standard & Poor's") or
Prime-1 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") or, if not rated, is-
sued by companies having outstanding debt securities rated AAA or AA by Stan-
dard & Poor's, or Aaa or Aa by Moody's] and participation interests in loans
extended by banks to such companies; and (4) repurchase agreements that are
collateralized in full each day by liquid securities of the types listed
above. These agreements are entered into with "primary dealers" (as designated
by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government securities or
State Street Bank and Trust Company, ACR's Custodian, and would create a loss
to the Fund if, in the event of a dealer default, the proceeds from the sale
of the collateral were less than the repurchase price. ACR may also invest in
certificates of deposit issued by, and time deposits maintained at, foreign
branches of domestic banks described in (2) above and prime quality dollar-
denominated commercial paper issued by foreign companies meeting the criteria
specified in (3) above.
ACR may purchase restricted securities that are determined by the Adviser to
be liquid in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees of ACR, in-
cluding securities eligible for resale under Rule 144A under the Securities
Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") and commercial paper issued in reliance
upon the exemption from registration in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
Restricted securities are securities subject to contractual or legal restric-
tions on resale, such as those arising from an
8
<PAGE>
issuer's reliance upon certain exemptions from registration under the Securi-
ties Act.
ACR may invest in asset-backed securities that meet its existing diversifi-
cation, quality and maturity criteria. Asset-backed securities are securities
issued by special purpose entities whose primary assets consist of a pool of
loans or accounts receivable. The securities may be in the form of a benefi-
cial interest in a special purpose trust, limited partnership interest, or
commercial paper or other debt securities issued by a special purpose corpora-
tion. Although the securities may have some form of credit or liquidity en-
hancement, payments on the securities depend predominately upon collection of
the loans and receivables held by the issuer. It is ACR's current intention to
limit its investment in such securities to not more than 5% of its net assets.
Other Fundamental Investment Policies. To maintain portfolio diversification
and reduce investment risk, ACR may not: (1) invest more than 25% of its as-
sets in the securities of issuers conducting their principal business activi-
ties in any one industry although there is no such limitation with respect to
U.S. Government securities or certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances
and interest-bearing savings deposits; (2) invest more than 5% of its assets
in securities of any one issuer (except the U.S. Government) although with re-
spect to one-quarter of its total assets it may invest without regard to such
limitation; (3) invest more than 5% of its assets in the securities of any is-
suer (except the U.S. Government) having less than three years of continuous
operation or purchase more than 10% of any class of the outstanding securities
of any issuer (except the U.S. Government); (4) borrow money except from banks
on a temporary basis or via entering into reverse repurchase agreements in ag-
gregate amounts not exceeding 15% of its assets and to facilitate the orderly
maturation and sale of portfolio securities during any periods of abnormally
heavy redemption requests; or (5) mortgage, pledge or hypothecate its assets
except to secure such borrowings.
As a matter of operating policy, fundamental policy number (2) would give
ACR the ability to invest, with respect to 25% of its assets, more than 5% of
its assets in any one issuer only in the event Rule 2a-7 is amended in the fu-
ture.
ALLIANCE GOVERNMENT RESERVES
The securities in which Alliance Government Reserves ("AGR") invests are:
(1) marketable obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States Government,
its agencies or instrumentalities (collectively, the "U.S. Government"), in-
cluding issues of the United States Treasury, such as bills, certificates of
indebtedness, notes and bonds, and issues of agencies and instrumentalities
established under the authority of an act of Congress; and (2) repurchase
agreements that are collateralized in full each day by the types of securities
listed above. These agreements are entered into with "primary dealers" (as
designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government securi-
ties or State Street Bank and Trust Company, AGR's Custodian, and would create
a loss to the Fund if, in the event of a dealer default, the proceeds from the
sale of the collateral were less than the repurchase price. AGR may commit up
to 15% of its net assets to the purchase of when-issued U.S. Government secu-
rities, whose value may fluctuate prior to their settlement, thereby creating
an unrealized gain or loss to the Fund.
Other Fundamental Investment Policies. To maintain portfolio diversification
and reduce investment risk, AGR may not: (1) borrow money except from banks on
a temporary basis or via entering into reverse repurchase agreements in aggre-
gate amounts not exceeding 10% of its assets and to be used exclusively to fa-
cilitate the orderly maturation and sale of portfolio securities during any
periods of abnormally heavy redemption requests, if they should occur; such
borrowings may not be used to purchase investments and it will not purchase
any investment while any such borrowings exist; or (2) pledge, hypothecate or
in any manner transfer, as security for indebtedness, its assets except to se-
cure such borrowings.
ALLIANCE TREASURY RESERVES
The securities in which Alliance Treasury Reserves ("ATR") invests are: (1)
issues of the U.S. Treasury,
9
<PAGE>
such as bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes and bonds; and (2) repur-
chase agreements that are collateralized in full each day by the types of se-
curities listed above. These agreements are entered into with "primary deal-
ers" (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Govern-
ment securities or State Street Bank and Trust Company, ATR's Custodian. For
each repurchase agreement, ATR requires continual maintenance of the market
value of the underlying collateral in amounts equal to, or in excess of, the
agreement amount. In the event of a dealer default, ATR might suffer a loss to
the extent that the proceeds from the sale of the collateral were less than
the repurchase price. ATR may commit up to 15% of its net assets to the pur-
chase of when-issued U.S. Treasury securities. Delivery and payment for when-
issued securities takes place after the transaction date. The payment amount
and the interest rate that will be received on the securities are fixed on the
transaction date. The value of such securities may fluctuate prior to their
settlement, thereby creating an unrealized gain or loss to ATR.
Other Fundamental Investment Policies. To maintain portfolio diversification
and reduce investment risk, ATR may not: (1) borrow money except from banks on
a temporary basis or via entering into reverse repurchase agreements in aggre-
gate amounts not exceeding 10% of its assets and to be used exclusively to fa-
cilitate the orderly maturation and sale of portfolio securities during any
periods of abnormally heavy redemption requests, if they should occur; such
borrowings may not be used to purchase investments and it will not purchase
any investment while any such borrowings exist; or (2) pledge, hypothecate or
in any manner transfer, as security for indebtedness, its assets except to se-
cure such borrowings.
ALLIANCE MUNICIPAL TRUST
The investment objectives of each Portfolio are safety of principal, liquid-
ity and, to the extent consistent with these objectives, maximum current in-
come that is exempt from income taxation to the extent described below. Except
when a Portfolio assumes a temporary defensive position, as a matter of funda-
mental policy, at least 80% of each Portfolio's total assets will be invested
in municipal securities (as opposed to the taxable investments described be-
low). Normally, substantially all of each Portfolio's income will be tax-ex-
empt as described below (e.g., for 1995, 100% of the income of each Portfolio
was exempt from Federal income taxes).
The General Portfolio seeks maximum current income that is exempt from Fed-
eral income taxes by investing principally in a diversified portfolio of high
quality municipal securities. Such income may be subject to state or local in-
come taxes.
The New York Portfolio seeks maximum current income that is exempt from Fed-
eral, New York state and New York City personal income taxes by investing, as
a matter of fundamental policy, not less than 65% of its total assets in a
portfolio of high quality municipal securities issued by New York state or its
political subdivisions.
The California Portfolio seeks maximum current income that is exempt from
Federal and California state personal income taxes by investing, as a matter
of fundamental policy, not less than 65% of its total assets in a portfolio of
high quality municipal securities issued by the State of California or its po-
litical subdivisions.
The Connecticut Portfolio seeks maximum current income that is exempt from
Federal and Connecticut state personal income taxes by investing, as a matter
of fundamental policy, not less than 65% of its total assets in a portfolio of
high quality municipal securities issued by the State of Connecticut or its
political subdivisions.
The New Jersey Portfolio seeks maximum current income that is exempt from
Federal and New Jersey state personal income taxes by investing, as a matter
of fundamental policy, not less than 65% of its total assets in a portfolio of
high quality municipal securities issued by the State of New Jersey or its po-
litical subdivisions. The New Jersey Portfolio will invest not less than 80%
of its net assets in securities the interest on which is exempt from New Jer-
sey personal income taxes [i.e. New Jersey municipal securities and obliga-
tions of the U.S. Government,
10
<PAGE>
its agencies and instrumentalities ("U.S. Government Securities")]. In addi-
tion, during periods when Alliance Capital Management L.P. (the "Adviser") be-
lieves that New Jersey municipal securities that meet the New Jersey Portfo-
lio's standards are not available, it may invest a portion of its assets in
securities whose interest payments are only federally tax-exempt.
The Virginia Portfolio seeks maximum current income that is exempt from Fed-
eral and Virginia state personal income taxes by investing, as a matter of
fundamental policy, not less than 65% of its total assets in a portfolio of
high quality municipal securities issued by the Commonwealth of Virginia or
its political subdivisions.
The Florida Portfolio seeks maximum current income that is exempt from Fed-
eral income tax and State of Florida intangible tax by investing not less than
65% of its total assets in a portfolio of high-quality municipal securities
issued by Florida or its political subdivisions.
The Massachusetts Portfolio seeks maximum current income that is exempt from
Federal and Massachusetts personal income taxes by investing not less than 65%
of its total assets in a portfolio of high-quality municipal securities issued
by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or its political subdivisions.
Each Portfolio of the Fund may invest without limitation in tax-exempt mu-
nicipal securities subject to the alternative minimum tax (the "AMT").
Under current Federal income tax law, (1) interest on tax-exempt municipal
securities issued after August 7, 1986 which are "specified private activity
bonds," and the proportionate share of any exempt-interest dividends paid by a
regulated investment company which receives interest from such specified pri-
vate activity bonds, will be treated as an item of tax preference for purposes
of the AMT imposed on individuals and corporations, though for regular Federal
income tax purposes such interest will remain fully tax-exempt, and (2) inter-
est on all tax-exempt obligations will be included in "adjusted current earn-
ings" of corporations for AMT purposes. Such bonds have provided, and may con-
tinue to provide, somewhat higher yields than other comparable municipal secu-
rities. See below, "Daily Dividends, Other Distributions, Taxes."
There can be no assurance that the Portfolios will achieve their investment
objectives. Potential investors in the New York, California, Connecticut, New
Jersey, Virginia, Florida and Massachusetts Portfolios should consider the
greater risk of the concentration of such Portfolios versus the safety that
comes with less concentrated investments and should compare yields available
on portfolios of the relevant state's issues with those of more diversified
portfolios, including other states' issues, before making an investment deci-
sion. The Adviser believes that by maintaining each Portfolio's investments in
liquid, short-term, high quality investments, each Portfolio is largely insu-
lated from the credit risks that exist on longterm municipal securities of the
relevant state. See the Statement of Additional Information for a more de-
tailed discussion of the financial condition of New York, California, Connect-
icut, New Jersey, Virginia, Florida and Massachusetts.
Municipal Securities. The municipal securities in which each Portfolio in-
vests include municipal notes and short-term municipal bonds. Municipal notes
are generally used to provide for short-term capital needs and generally have
maturities of one year or less. Examples include tax anticipation and revenue
anticipation notes, which are generally issued in anticipation of various sea-
sonal revenues, bond anticipation notes, and tax-exempt commercial paper.
Short-term municipal bonds may include general obligation bonds, which are se-
cured by the issuer's pledge of its faith, credit and taxing power for payment
of principal and interest, and revenue bonds, which are generally paid from
the revenues of a particular facility or a specific excise or other source.
A Portfolio may invest in variable rate obligations whose interest rates are
adjusted either at predesignated periodic intervals or whenever there is a
change in the market rate to which the security's interest rate is tied. Such
adjustments minimize changes in the market value of the obligation and, ac-
cordingly, enhance the ability of
11
<PAGE>
the Portfolio to maintain a stable net asset value. Variable rate securities
purchased may include participation interests in industrial development bonds
backed by letters of credit of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation member
banks having total assets of more than $1 billion. Each Portfolio will comply
with Rule 2a-7 with respect to its investment in variable rate obligations.
Each Portfolio's municipal securities at the time of purchase are rated
within the two highest quality ratings of Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (Aaa
and Aa, MIG 1 and MIG 2, or VMIG 1 and VMIG 2) or Standard & Poor's Corpora-
tion (AAA and AA or SP-1 and SP-2), or judged by the Adviser to be of compara-
ble quality. Securities must also meet credit standards applied by the
Adviser.
To further enhance the quality and liquidity of the securities in which the
Portfolios invest, such securities frequently are supported by credit and li-
quidity enhancements, such as letters of credit, from third party financial
institutions. The Adviser continuously monitors the credit quality of such
third parties; however, changes in the credit quality of such a financial in-
stitution could cause a Portfolio's investments backed by that institution to
lose value and affect a Portfolio's share price.
A Portfolio also may invest in stand-by commitments, which may involve cer-
tain expenses and risks, but such commitments are not expected to comprise
more than 5% of any Portfolio's net assets. A Portfolio may commit up to 15%
of its net assets to the purchase of when-issued securities. The Fund's custo-
dian will maintain, in a separate account of the respective Portfolio, liquid
high-grade debt securities having value equal to, or greater than, such when-
issued securities. The price of when-issued securities, which is generally ex-
pressed in yield terms, is fixed at the time the commitment to purchase is
made, but delivery and payment for such securities takes place at a later
time. Normally the settlement date occurs from within ten days to one month
after the purchase of the issue. The value of when-issued securities may fluc-
tuate prior to their settlement, thereby creating an unrealized gain or loss
to a Portfolio.
The Massachusetts Portfolio may invest in restricted securities that are de-
termined by the Adviser to be liquid in accordance with procedures adopted by
the Trustees, including securities eligible for resale under Rule 144A under
the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"). Restricted securities are
securities subject to contractual or legal restrictions on resale, such as
those arising from an issuer's reliance upon certain exemptions from registra-
tion under the Securities Act.
No portfolio of AMT will invest more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid
securities (including, with respect to the Massachusetts Portfolio) illiquid
restricted securities.
Taxable Investments. The taxable investments in which each Portfolio may in-
vest include obligations of the U.S. Government and its agencies, high quality
certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances, prime commercial paper, and
repurchase agreements.
Other Investment Policies. The following investment policies are fundamental
policies with respect to each Portfolio as noted except the Massachusetts
Portfolio which has adopted the applicable restrictions as non-fundamental
policies. To reduce investment risk, the General Portfolio may not invest more
than 25% of its total assets in municipal securities whose issuers are located
in the same state, and no Portfolio may invest more than 25% of its total as-
sets in municipal securities the interest upon which is paid from revenues of
similar-type projects; a Portfolio may not invest more than 5% of its total
assets in the securities of any one issuer except the U.S. Government, al-
though (i) with respect to 25% of its total assets the General Portfolio may
invest up to 10% per issuer, and (ii) the New York, California, Connecticut,
New Jersey, Virginia, Florida and Massachusetts Portfolios may invest 50% of
their respective total assets in as few as four issuers (but no more than 25%
of total assets in any one issuer); and a Portfolio may not purchase more than
10% of any class of the voting securities of any one issuer except those of
the U.S. Government. As a matter of operating policy, to the extent that these
limitations are more permissive than Rule 2a-7, the Portfolios will comply
with the more restrictive provisions of Rule 2a-7.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
SHARE PRICE. Shares are sold and redeemed on a continuous basis without
sales or redemption charges at their net asset value which is expected to be
constant at $1.00 per share, although this price is not guaranteed. The net
asset value of each Fund's shares is determined each business day at 12:00
Noon and 4:00 p.m. (New York time). The net asset value per share of a Fund is
calculated by taking the sum of the value of that Fund's investments (amor-
tized cost value is used for this purpose) and any cash or other assets, sub-
tracting liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding.
All expenses, including the fees payable to the Adviser, are accrued daily.
TIMING OF INVESTMENTS AND REDEMPTIONS. The Funds have two transaction times
each business day, 12:00 Noon and 4:00 p.m. (New York time). New investments
represented by Federal funds or bank wire monies received by State Street Bank
at any time during a day prior to 4:00 p.m. are entitled to the full dividend
to be paid to shareholders for that day. Shares do not earn dividends on the
day a redemption is effected regardless of
13
<PAGE>
whether the redemption order is received before or after 12:00 Noon.
During drastic economic or market developments, shareholders might have dif-
ficulty in reaching Alliance Fund Services, Inc. by telephone in which event
the shareholder should issue written instructions to Alliance Fund Services,
Inc. at the address shown in this prospectus. The Funds reserve the right to
suspend or terminate their telephone service at any time without notice. Nei-
ther the Funds nor the Adviser, or Alliance Fund Services, Inc. will be re-
sponsible for the authenticity of telephone requests to purchase or sell
shares. Alliance Fund Services, Inc. will employ reasonable procedures in or-
der to verify that telephone requests are genuine and could be liable for
losses arising from unauthorized transactions if it failed to do so. Selected
dealers or agents may charge a commission for handling telephone requests for
redemptions.
Redemption proceeds are normally wired or mailed either the same or the next
business day, but in no event later than seven days, unless redemptions have
been suspended or postponed due to the determination of an "emergency" by the
Securities and Exchange Commission or to certain other unusual conditions.
DAILY DIVIDENDS, OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS, TAXES. All net income of each Fund is
determined each business day at 4:00 p.m. (New York time) and is paid immedi-
ately thereafter pro rata to shareholders of that Fund of record via automatic
investment in additional full and fractional shares of that Fund in each
shareholder's account. As such additional shares are entitled to dividends on
following days, a compounding growth of income occurs.
Net income consists of all accrued interest income on Fund assets less the
Fund's expenses applicable to that dividend period. Realized gains and losses
are reflected in its net asset value and are not included in net income.
Distributions to you out of tax-exempt interest income earned by each Port-
folio of Alliance Municipal Trust are not subject to Federal income tax (other
than the AMT), but, in the case of the General Portfolio, may be subject to
state or local income taxes. Any exempt-interest dividends derived from inter-
est on municipal securities subject to the AMT will be a specific preference
item for purposes of the Federal individual and corporate AMT. Distributions
to residents of New York out of income earned by the New York Portfolio from
New York municipal securities are exempt from New York state and New York City
personal income taxes. Distributions to residents of California out of income
earned by the California Portfolio from California municipal securities are
exempt from California personal income taxes. Distributions to individuals who
are residents of Connecticut out of income earned by the Connecticut Portfolio
from Connecticut municipal securities are exempt from Connecticut personal in-
come taxes. Distributions to residents of New Jersey out of income earned by
the New Jersey Portfolio from New Jersey municipal securities or U.S. Govern-
ment Securities are exempt from New Jersey state personal income taxes. Dis-
tributions from the New Jersey Portfolio are, however, subject to the New Jer-
sey Corporation Business (Franchise) Tax and the New Jersey Corporation Income
Tax payable by corporate shareholders. Distributions to residents of Virginia
out of income earned by the Virginia Portfolio from Virginia municipal securi-
ties or obligations of the United States or any authority, commission or in-
strumentality of the United States are exempt from Virginia individual, es-
tate, trust, or corporate income tax. Dividends paid by the Florida Portfolio
to individual Florida shareholders will not be subject to Florida income tax,
which is imposed only on corporations. However, Florida currently imposes an
"intangible tax" at the rate of $2.00 per $1,000 taxable value of certain se-
curities, such as shares of the Portfolio, and other intangible assets owned
by Florida residents. U.S. Government securities and Florida municipal securi-
ties are exempt from this intangible tax. It is anticipated that the Florida
Portfolio shares will qualify for exemption from the Florida intangible tax.
In order to so qualify, the Florida Portfolio must, among other things, have
its entire portfolio invested in U.S. Government securities and Florida munic-
ipal securities on December 31 of any year. Exempt-interest dividends paid by
the Florida Portfolio to corporate shareholders will be subject to Florida
corporate
14

income tax. Distributions to residents of Massachusetts out of interest earned
by the Massachusetts Portfolio from Massachusetts municipal securities are ex-
empt from Massachusetts state personal income taxes. Distributions out of tax-
able interest income, other investment income, and short-term capital gains
are taxable to you as ordinary income and distributions of long-term capital
gains, if any, are taxable as long-term capital gains irrespective of the
length of time you may have held your shares. Distributions of short and long-
term capital gains, if any, are normally made near year-end. Each year shortly
after December 31, the Funds will send you tax information stating the amount
and type of all its distributions for the year just ended.
THE ADVISER. Each Fund retains Alliance Capital Management L. P., 1345 Ave-
nue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105 under separate Advisory Agreements to
provide investment advice and, in general, to supervise its management and in-
vestment program, subject to the general control of the Trustees of each Fund.
Each Portfolio pays an advisory fee at an annual rate of .50 of 1% of up to
$1.25 billion of the average daily value of its net assets, .49 of 1% of the
next $.25 billion of such assets, .48 of 1% of the next $.25 billion of such
assets, .47 of 1% of the next $.25 billion of such assets, .46 of 1% of the
next $1 billion of such assets and .45 of 1% of its average daily net assets
in excess of $3 billion. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly. For the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, ACR, AGR, ATR, AMT-General, AMT-NY, AMT-CA,
AMT-CT, AMT-NJ and AMT-VA each paid the Adviser an advisory fee at an annual
rate of .47, .48, .50, .50, .42, .50, .25, .23 and .22 of 1%, respectively, of
the average daily value of the respective Portfolio's net assets. For the pe-
riod ended June 30, 1996, the Adviser waived the advisory fee for AMT-FL. AMT-
MA commenced operations on April 17, 1997.
Under a Distribution Services Agreement (the "Agreement"), each Fund pays
the Adviser at a maximum annual rate of .25 of 1% of the Fund's aggregate av-
erage daily net assets. For the period ended June 30, 1996, ACR, AGR, ATR,
AMT-General, AMT-NY, AMT-CA, AMT-CT, AMT-NJ, AMT-VA and AMT-FL each paid the
Adviser a distribution services fee at an annual rate of .25, .24, .01, .25,
.15, .24, .15, .15, .15 and .15 of 1%, respectively, of the average daily
value of the net assets of each Portfolio. Substantially all such monies (to-
gether with significant amounts from the Adviser's own resources) are paid by
the Adviser to broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries for their
distribution assistance and to banks and other depository institutions for ad-
ministrative and accounting services provided to the Funds, with any remaining
amounts being used to partially defray other expenses incurred by the Adviser
in distributing the Funds' shares. The Funds believe that the administrative
services provided by depository institutions are permissible activities under
present banking laws and regulations and will take appropriate actions (which
should not adversely affect the Funds or their shareholders) in the future to
maintain such legal conformity should any changes in, or interpretations of,
such laws or regulations occur.
The Adviser will reimburse each Fund to the extent that aggregate operating
expenses of that Fund (including the Adviser's fee and expenses incurred under
the Agreement) exceed 1% of its average daily net assets for any fiscal year.
CUSTODIAN, TRANSFER AGENT AND DISTRIBUTOR. State Street Bank and Trust Com-
pany, P.O. Box 1912, Boston, MA 02105, is the Funds' Custodian. Alliance Fund
Services, Inc., P.O. Box 1520, Secaucus, NJ 07096-1520 and Alliance Fund Dis-
tributors, Inc., 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105, are the
Funds' Transfer Agent and Distributor, respectively.
FUND ORGANIZATION. AGR and ATR are series of Alliance Government Reserves
which is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under
the 1940 Act. The Fund was reorganized as a Massachusetts business trust in
October 1984, having previously been a Maryland corporation since its forma-
tion in December 1978. ACR and Alliance Money Reserves (not
15
<PAGE>
offered by this prospectus) are series of Alliance Capital Reserves, a diver-
sified open-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act.
The Fund was reorganized as a Massachusetts business trust in October 1984,
having previously been a Maryland corporation since its formation in April
1978. AMT-General is a diversified, and AMT-NY, AMT-CA, AMT-CT, AMT-NJ, AMT-
VA, AMT-FL and AMT-MA are non-diversified series of Alliance Municipal Trust,
which is also an open-end management investment company registered under the
1940 Act. The Fund was reorganized as a Massachusetts business trust in April
1985, having previously been a Maryland corporation since its formation in
January 1983. Each Fund's activities are supervised by its Trustees. Normally,
shares of each series of Alliance Municipal Trust, Alliance Government Re-
serves and Alliance Capital Reserves are entitled to one vote per share, and
vote as a single series, on matters that affect each series in substantially
the same manner. Massachusetts law does not require annual meetings of share-
holders and it is anticipated that shareholder meetings will be held only when
required by Federal law. Shareholders have available certain procedures for
the removal of Trustees.
REPORTS. You receive semi-annual and annual reports for your Fund as well as
a monthly summary of your account.
MANAGED ASSETS PLAN ("MAP"). The Funds offer their customers MAP, which is a
special cash management service linked to the Funds. Among various features of
MAP, the shareholder has direct access to his Fund balance (1) with a Visa
Gold Card that is accepted worldwide by participating merchants, banks and au-
tomated teller machines and (2) by MAP checks which can be written for any
amount up to the balance in the account, with no restriction on the number of
checks. Details of MAP, including its annual fee, are available by contacting
your Account Executive.
Since this prospectus sets forth information about all the Funds, it is the-
oretically possible that a Fund might be liable for any materially inaccurate
or incomplete disclosure in this prospectus concerning another Fund. Based on
the advice of counsel, however, the Funds believe that the potential liability
of each Fund with respect to the disclosure in this prospectus extends only to
the disclosure relating to that Fund.
