RE: Funds managed or administered by Prudential Mutual Fund
Management LLC (the "Funds")
Gentlemen:
At meetings held between February 18 and 20, 1997, the Board of
Directors of the Funds (see attached exhibit) approved the
engagement of Price Waterhouse LLP as their independent auditors
for their fiscal years ending after February 28, 1997 to replace
the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP effective March 1, 1997.
The reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP on the Funds' financial
statements for the past two fiscal years did not contain an
adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified
or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
principles.
In connection with the audits of the Funds' financial statements
for each of the prior two fiscal years and in the subsequent
interim period, there were no disagreements with Deloitte &
Touche LLP on any matters of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures
which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche
LLP, would have caused Deloitte & Touche LLP to make reference to
the matter in their report.
The Funds have requested Deloitte & Touche LLP to furnish them a
letter addressed to the Commission stating whether they agree
with the above statements. A copy of that letter, dated April
16, 1997 is attached hereto.
Sincerely,
Eugene S. Stark Grace Torres

Merger
On September 20, 1996, the Registrant acquired all
the net assets of Income Fund, a series of The
Prudential Institutional Fund (PIF), pursuant to a plan
of reorganization approved by Income Fund shareholders
on September 6, 1996. The reorganization was approved
by the Directors of the Registrant on May 8, 1996 but
did not require the approval of the Registrant's
shareholders. The acquisition was accomplished on
September 20, 1996, by a tax-free exchange of Class Z
shares of the Registrant for the net assets of Income
Fund.
PIF continues to be a registered investment
company and has no current intention to cease to be
such a company. Income Fund, a series of PIF, has
ceased operations.

* As of June 30, 1996, the Fund/Portfolio was no longer in operation.
The Fund/Portfolio merged into
another Fund within the Prudential Mutual Fund Family.
We have examined the accompanying description of the Prudential
Multiple Class Pricing Worksheet (the "Worksheet") application of
State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street"), custodian and
recordkeeper for the Prudential Mutual Funds (the "Funds"). Our
examination included procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether (1) the accompanying description presents fairly, in all
material respects, the aspects of State Street's policies and
procedures that may be relevant to a Fund's internal control structure
relating to the Worksheet, (2) the control structure policies and
procedures included in the description were suitably designed to
achieve the control objectives specified in the description, if those
policies and procedures were complied with satisfactorily, and (3)
such policies and procedures had been placed in operation as of
June 30, 1996. The control objectives were specified by Prudential
Mutual Fund Management, Inc. Our examination was performed in
accordance with standards established by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants and included those procedures we
considered necessary in the circumstances to obtain a reasonable basis
for rendering our opinion.
In our opinion, the accompanying description of the aforementioned
application presents fairly, in all material respects, the relevant
aspects of State Street's policies and procedures that had been placed
in operation as of June 30, 1996. Also, in our opinion, the policies
and procedures, as described, are suitably designed to provide
reasonable assurance that the specified control objectives would be
achieved if the described policies and procedures were complied with
satisfactorily.
In addition to the procedures we considered necessary to render our
opinion as expressed in the previous paragraph, we applied tests to
specific policies and procedures, listed in Section I, to obtain
evidence about their effectiveness in meeting the control objectives,
described in Section I during the period from July 1, 1995 to June 30,
1996. The nature, timing, extent, and results of the tests are listed
in Section II. In our opinion the policies and procedures that were
tested, as described in Section II, were operating with sufficient
effectiveness to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that
the control objectives specified in Section I were achieved during the
period from July 1, 1995 to June 30, 1996. However, the scope of our
engagement did not include tests to determine whether control
objectives not listed in Section I were achieved; accordingly we
express no opinion on the achievement of control objectives not
included in Section I.
The relative effectiveness and significance of specific policies and
procedures at State Street, and their effect on assessments of control
risk on the Funds are dependent on their interaction with the
policies, procedures, and other factors present at individual Funds.
We have performed no procedures to evaluate the effectiveness of
policies and procedures at individual Funds in connection with this
report.
The description of policies and procedures at State Street is as of
June 30, 1996, and information about tests of the operating
effectiveness of specified policies and procedures covers the period
from July 1, 1995 to June 30, 1996. Any projection of such
information to the future is subject to the risk that, because of
change, the description may no longer portray the system in existence.
The potential effectiveness of specified policies and procedures at
State Street is subject to inherent limitations and, accordingly,
errors or irregularities may occur and not be detected. Furthermore,
the projection of any conclusions, based on our findings, to future
periods is subject to the risk that changes may alter the validity of
such conclusions.
This report is intended solely for use by the management and Boards of
Directors/Trustees of the Funds, the independent auditors of the Funds
and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

SECTION I
Policies and Procedures Placed in Operation
Prudential Multiple Class Pricing Worksheet
The Prudential Mutual Funds (the "Funds") have adopted a multiple
class pricing system. The multiple class pricing system consists of
four classes of shares (Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z). Class
A shares are subject to an initial sales charge, Class B and Class C
shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge and Class Z
shares have no sales charge (Class Z shares which were first offered
on March 1, 1996, are offered exclusively for sale to the PSI Pension
Plan). Each of the classes of shares represent interests in the same
portfolio of investments of the respective Fund and are identical in
all respects, except that each class is subject to different
distribution expenses and has exclusive voting rights with respect to
the Rule 12b-1 distribution plan pursuant to which such distribution
expenses are paid.
In order to allocate income and expenses among the classes of shares,
State Street Bank and Trust Company (the Funds' custodian and
recordkeeper) utilizes the Prudential Multiple Class Pricing Worksheet
(the "Worksheet") (see Exhibit I). The Worksheet is a manual
supplementary application that extracts relevant data from the Funds'
primary accounting system, allocates income and expenses among the
classes of shares and computes the daily net asset value and, if
applicable, the dividend/distribution for each class of shares.
Internal accounting controls that are relevant to the Fund can be
divided into two components - controls related to the mutual fund
accounting system resident at State Street Bank and Trust Company (the
"primary accounting system") and controls related to the Worksheet.
The specific control objectives and policies and procedures relating
to the Worksheet are described on pages 4 and 5. A description of the
tests of the policies and procedures designed to obtain evidence about
the operating effectiveness of those policies and procedures in
achieving the specific control objectives is included in Section II.
Control Objectives and Policies and Procedures
Prudential Multiple Class Pricing Worksheet
The Worksheet is a supplementary manual application to the Funds'
primary accounting system. Certain data is extracted from the primary
accounting system to allocate income and expenses and to calculate the
daily net asset value and, if applicable, dividends/distributions for
each class of shares. The primary accounting system includes the
details of transactions in accordance with the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended.
The following represents the internal accounting control objectives
and policies and procedures for the allocation of income and expenses
and the computation of the net asset value and, if applicable, the
dividend/distribution for each class of shares utilizing the
Worksheet. It does not cover the internal accounting control policies
and procedures surrounding the processing of information into the
Funds' primary accounting system.

SECTION II
Tests of Operating Effectiveness
Prudential Multiple Class Pricing Worksheet
July 1, 1995 to June 30, 1996
We reviewed the methodology and procedures for calculating the daily
net asset value and, if applicable, the dividends/distributions of the
classes of shares and the allocation of income and expenses among the
classes of shares.
The following are the detailed procedures which we performed with
respect to the Worksheet. These procedures were performed for
selected days encompassing all Funds subject to multiple class pricing
during the year ended June 30, 1996, which we believe is a
representative sample, to test compliance with the control policies
and procedures as described in Section I.
Prudential Mutual Fund Management, Inc. is the manager of the Funds
and has represented to us that adequate facilities are in place to
ensure implementation of the methodology and procedures for
calculating the net asset value and dividends/distributions of the
classes of shares and the allocation of income and expenses among the
classes of shares. Based on our review of the description of the
policies and procedures of the Worksheet, as described in Section I,
and performance of tests of operating effectiveness as described in
Section II, we concur with such representation.
