PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The first half of the year has been an
unsettling time for bond investors. The bond market declined after the
Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates from February
through May. These rate hikes caused bond yields to rise and bond prices to
fall. The board raised the rate again in August, and while nobody knows
whether rates will continue to go up, this may be a good time to review the
effect rising rates have on your bond fund investment, and consider how
well your current bond fund holdings match your investment goals.
Most investors choose bond funds to generate income and to help diversify
their investment portfolios. Despite the recent market downturn, bond
mutual funds can still satisfy these needs. Where investors have felt the
negative effect of rising rates is in the market value of their investment,
which has eroded as bond prices have fallen. It's important to remember,
however, that this loss in principal is only "on paper" until you sell your
shares. That's why your investing time horizon is key.
If your time horizon is short - one year or less - you may want to consider
shifting all or part of your bond fund investment into short-term
investments.
If you don't need your money within the next year, staying in your bond
fund may be the appropriate strategy for you. The longer your investing
time frame, the better your chances of retaining your principal investment
through periods of rising AND falling rates. For example, if you plan to
use your money in one to two years, a short-term bond fund may be the right
choice. If your time frame is two to four years, a fund with an
intermediate length average maturity may be best. If you have a longer-term
goal - say a child's college education that's 10 years away - you may be
willing to ride out the bond market's peaks and valleys in exchange for the
higher potential returns of a longer-term fund.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We would be happy
to send you a Fidelity FundMatch kit, which can help you determine the mix
of investments that is right for you. You might also find it convenient to
set up
a regular investment plan using the Fidelity Automatic Account BuilderSM.
Periodic investment plans do not, of course, assure a profit, nor do they
protect against a loss in a declining market.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Norman Lind,
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
New York Tax-Free High Yield
Portfolio
Q. NORM, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. It has been a difficult period for both the municipal bond market and
the fund. For the six months ended July 31, 1994, the fund had a total
return of -5.38%. That compares to the average New York municipal bond
fund, which returned -4.92% for the same period, according to Lipper
Analytical Services. For the 12 months ended July 31, 1994, the fund
returned 0.26%, compared to the average fund's return of 0.40%, again
according to Lipper.
Q. WHAT ACCOUNTS FOR THE MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET'S PERFORMANCE OVER THE PAST
SIX MONTHS?
A. On February 4, the Federal Reserve Board, acting on evidence that the
economy had grown at a fairly strong pace in the fourth quarter of 1993,
raised the federal funds rate - the rate banks charge each other for
overnight loans - by a quarter of a percentage point to 3.25%. At that
time, there wasn't any solid evidence that this growth was causing higher
inflation. Despite that, investors greeted the rate hike negatively. They
were concerned that the Fed was seeing some inflationary pressures they
weren't, and feared further interest rate hikes. That's exactly what
happened. The Fed moved three more times through May, raising the federal
funds rate to 4.25%. Most of the market's and the fund's losses came in
February and March, when selling was at its peak. By July, the market
bounced back slightly based on some evidence that the economy's growth rate
was slowing.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND UNDER-PERFORM THE AVERAGE NEW YORK FUND?
A. The primary reason was that the fund had a longer duration during much
of the period than many of its competitors. Duration is a measure of the
fund's volatility when interest rates move up or down. The longer the
duration, the more sensitive the fund is to interest rate changes. As a
result, when rates rose, the fund's share price fell more than many of its
competitors. However, my view is that long-term interest rates should
remain flat or even fall from current levels, and having a longer duration
will be best in that kind of environment. So, to generally help reduce the
fund's volatility, I've used bond-futures contracts.
Q. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TALK LATELY ABOUT DERIVATIVES. AREN'T FUTURES ONE
OF THE FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS KNOWN AS A DERIVATIVE, AND DO YOU USE OTHERS?
A. Yes, a futures contract is one type of financial derivative - meaning
its market value is derived from a security or market index. We've used
futures and options in our municipal bond funds for years. More recently,
I've used what's known as an inverse floater - whose yield rises as
short-term rates fall, and vice versa. Inverse floaters act like very
long-term bonds, effectively increasing a fund's duration, which is good in
a falling interest rate environment, but can hurt the fund when interest
rates rise. That's exactly what happened recently. During the past six
months, inverse floaters made up less than 5% of the fund's total
investments. By using these various derivatives, I achieve increased
flexibility in managing the fund's overall sensitivity to changes in
interest rates, and hopefully, can achieve higher levels of income.
Q. WERE THERE ANY SPECIFIC TYPES OF BONDS THAT DIDN'T FARE VERY WELL DURING
THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. Resource recovery bonds, which were mostly issued to help build and fund
garbage burning plants, were hurt by the threat of increased competition.
In the spring, the Supreme Court ruled that municipalities could no longer
force garbage producers to use resource recovery plants, instead of
landfills, for waste disposal. However, I've concentrated mainly on the
bonds of resource recovery plants located in areas that would find it
prohibitively expensive to ship garbage to landfills. They shouldn't be
negatively affected by the ruling.
Q. WHAT WERE SOME OF THE BRIGHT SPOTS FOR THE FUND?
A. The fund's state-appropriated bonds did relatively well. These bonds
rely on annual appropriations by the state legislature to meet all or part
of their principal and interest payments. When the state experienced some
trouble a couple of years ago, those bonds were downgraded. As the New York
economy has continued to show signs of improvement and the state has made
progress on debt reform, investors seem to have been expecting these bonds
to get upgraded, and their value has generally risen. New York City bonds
were another bright spot. During the past six months, I increased the
fund's stake in these bonds at a time when supply was heavy and prices were
relatively attractive. I sold some once supply had tightened and prices had
risen, locking in the out-performance.
Q. WHAT SHOULD WE EXPECT OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS?
A. In the short-term, the bond market could be volatile. That's because
investors will continue to try to decipher every economic statistic,
attempting to determine what it means for the economy and how the Federal
Reserve might react. But I believe that once clear and sustainable trends
emerge, the market will become more settled. In my view, there is some
evidence that higher interest rates have slowed the economy in the second
quarter. Housing, jobs, retail sales and consumer spending have all shown
signs of slowing in the second quarter from a fairly healthy first quarter
pace. I believe that for the next year or so, economic growth will be
moderate and inflation won't be a problem. So, I'll continue to keep the
fund positioned to take advantage of a flat to declining interest rate
environment and use futures to help protect against any short-term
volatility as market conditions warrant.

NORM LIND'S OUTLOOK FOR THE
MUNICIPAL MARKET:
"We're beginning to see signs
that higher interest rates are
actually slowing the economy.
In my view, we're heading into
a period of relative economic
stability, with the growth rate
moderating over the next six
to 18 months. If that happens,
and inflation stays in check,
as it is now, I believe the
municipal market can perform
better than it has recently.
Under those conditions,
long-term interest rates could
inch back down as investors
adjust to the new
environment. One thing
investors hate is uncertainty,
which is what we've had
recently. But if investors
become more confident, they
could return to the market.
Right now, on an after-tax
basis, municipal bonds are a
very attractive fixed-income
alternative. At the same time,
the supply of New York
municipal bonds has dropped
significantly this year from
1993. Stable or falling interest
rates and a reduced supply
could bode well for the
municipal market."

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, reinvestment of any dividends (or
income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells bonds
that have grown in value). You can also look at the fund's income. If
Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses during the periods shown,
the total returns and dividends would have been lower.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED JULY 31, 1994 PAST 6 PAST 1 PAST 5 PAST 10
MONTHS YEAR YEARS YEARS
New York Tax-Free High Yield -5.38% 0.26% 42.58% 147.72%
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index -3.80% 1.87% 46.68% 169.84%
Average New York Municipal Bond Fund -4.92% 0.40% 43.97% 151.48%
Consumer Price Index 1.50% 2.77% 19.29% 42.56%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS reflect actual performance over a set period - in
this case, six months, one year, five years, or ten years. For example, if
you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, you
would end up with $1,050. You can compare these figures to the performance
of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond index - a broad gauge of the
municipal bond market. To measure how the fund stacked up against its
peers, you can look at the average New York municipal bond fund, which
reflects the performance of 70 New York municipal bond funds tracked by
Lipper Analytical Services. Both benchmarks include reinvested dividends
and capital gains, if any. Comparing the fund's performance to the consumer
price index helps show how your fund did compared to inflation.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity New
York Tax-Free High Yield Portfolio on July 31, 1984, shortly after the fund
started. As the chart shows, by July 31, 1994, the value of your investment
would have grown to $24,772 - a 147.72% increase on your initial
investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index did over the same period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000
would have grown to $26,984 - a 169.84% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, move in the
opposite direction of interest
rates. In turn, the share price,
return, and yield of a fund
that invests in bonds will vary.
That means if you sell your
shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period. If
you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $11.72 over
the past month, $12.02 over the past six months and $12.63 over the past
year, you can compare the fund's income over these three periods. The
30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula for all funds based on the
yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This
figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the
end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies
on an equal basis. The tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to
earn on a taxable investment to equal the fund's tax-free yield, if you're
in the 43.89% combined effective 1994 federal, state and New York City tax
bracket.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Norman Lind,
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
New York Tax-Free Insured Portfolio
Q. NORM, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. It has been a difficult period for both the municipal bond market and
the fund. For the six months ended July 31, 1994, the fund had a total
return of -5.06%. That compares to the average New York insured municipal
bond fund, which returned -4.29% for the same period, according to Lipper
Analytical Services. For the 12 months ended July 31, 1994, the fund
returned 0.24%, compared to the average fund's return of 1.14%, again
according to Lipper.
Q. EVEN THOUGH YOU TOOK THE FUND OVER ON MARCH 1, CAN YOU TELL US WHAT
ACCOUNTS FOR THE MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET'S PERFORMANCE OVER THE PAST SIX
MONTHS?
A. On February 4, the Federal Reserve Board, acting on evidence that the
economy had grown at a fairly strong pace in the fourth quarter of 1993,
raised the federal funds rate - the rate banks charge each other for
overnight loans - by a quarter of a percentage point to 3.25%. At that
time, there wasn't any solid evidence that this growth was causing higher
inflation. Despite that, investors greeted the rate hike negatively. They
were concerned that the Fed was seeing some inflationary pressures they
weren't, and feared further interest rate hikes. That's exactly what
happened. The Fed moved three more times through May, raising the federal
funds rate to 4.25%. Most of the market's and the fund's losses came in
February and March, when selling was at its peak. By July, the market
bounced back slightly based on some evidence that the economy's growth rate
was slowing.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND UNDER-PERFORM THE AVERAGE NEW YORK INSURED FUND?
A. The primary reason was that the fund had a longer duration during much
of the period than many of its competitors. Duration is a measure of the
fund's volatility when interest rates move up or down. The longer the
duration, the more sensitive the fund is to changes in interest rates. As a
result, when rates rose, the fund's share price fell more than many of its
competitors. I used the market's decline in February and March as an
opportunity to buy more bonds - like non-callable bonds - which would help
keep the fund's duration long, at a time when their prices were fairly
attractive. Non-callable bonds can't be prematurely returned to their
issuers. They have a longer duration because they trade to their maturity
date, rather than a shorter call date. When interest rates are flat or
falling, having a long duration can help a fund's performance. But to
generally help reduce the fund's sensitivity to short-term volatility, I've
used bond-futures contracts.
Q. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TALK LATELY ABOUT DERIVATIVES. AREN'T FUTURES ONE
OF THE FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS KNOWN AS A DERIVATIVE, AND DO YOU USE OTHERS?
A. Yes, a futures contract is one type of financial derivative - meaning
its market value is derived from a security or market index. We've used
futures and options in our municipal bond funds for years. More recently,
I've used what's known as an inverse floater - whose yield rises as
short-term rates fall, and vice versa. Inverse floaters act like very
long-term bonds, effectively increasing a fund's duration, which is good in
a falling interest rate environment, but can hurt the fund when interest
rates rise, which is exactly what happened recently. During the past six
months, inverse floaters made up less than 5% of the fund's total
investments. By using these various derivatives, I achieve increased
flexibility in managing the fund's overall sensitivity to changes in
interest rates, and hopefully, can achieve higher levels of income.
Q. WHAT ROLE DO UNINSURED BONDS HAVE IN AN INSURED FUND?
A. They generally help generate additional yield for the fund. However, to
keep the fund's overall credit quality high, I've invested a majority of
the fund in insured bonds, which carry the highest credit rating of Aaa, as
rated by Moody's Investor Services. To boost the fund's income, I focus on
finding uninsured bonds that are high quality and have a strong potential
for appreciating in value. One example is bonds issued by the New York
State Local Government Assistance Corporation, including some of the fund's
largest transportation bonds. Many of these bonds are rated A, and have
been improving in credit quality as the state's economy improved. These
bonds can offer 0.25% more in yield than insured bonds. The fund's stake in
these uninsured bonds has helped it post better-than-average yields during
a period of falling share prices.
Q. WHAT WERE SOME OF THE BRIGHT SPOTS FOR THE FUND?
A. The fund's state-appropriated bonds did relatively well. These bonds
rely on annual appropriations by the state legislature to meet all or part
of their principal and interest payments. When the state experienced some
trouble a couple of years ago, the bonds were downgraded. As the New York
economy has continued to show signs of improvement and the state has made
progress on debt reform, investors seem to have been expecting these bonds
to get upgraded, and their value has generally risen.
Q. WHAT SHOULD WE EXPECT OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS?
A. In the short-term, the bond market could be volatile. That's because
investors will continue to try to decipher every economic statistic,
attempting to determine what it means for the economy and how the Federal
Reserve might react. But I believe that once clear and sustainable trends
emerge, the market will become more settled. In my view, there is some
evidence that higher interest rates have slowed the economy in the second
quarter. Housing, jobs, retail sales and consumer spending have all shown
signs of slowing from a fairly healthy first quarter pace. Because of that,
I believe that economic growth will moderate, and inflation won't be a
problem. So, I'll continue to keep the fund positioned to take advantage of
a flat to declining interest rate environment and use futures to help
protect against any short-term volatility as market conditions warrant.

NORM LIND'S OUTLOOK FOR THE
MUNICIPAL MARKET:
"We're beginning to see signs
that higher interest rates are
actually slowing the economy.
In my view, we're heading into
a period of relative economic
stability with the growth rate
moderating over the next six
to 18 months. If that happens,
and inflation stays in check,
as it is now, I believe the
municipal market can perform
better than it has recently.
Under those conditions,
long-term interest rates could
inch back down as investors
adjust to the new
environment. One thing
investors hate is uncertainty,
which is what we've had
recently. But if investors
become more confident, they
could return to the market.
Right now, on an after-tax
basis, municipal bonds are a
very attractive fixed-income
alternative. At the same time,
the supply of New York
municipal bonds has dropped
significantly this year from
1993. Stable or falling interest
rates and a reduced supply
could bode well for the
municipal market. "

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, reinvestment of any dividends (or
income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells bonds
that have grown in value). You can also look at the fund's income. If
Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses during the periods shown,
the total returns and dividends would have been lower.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

New York Tax-Free Insured -5.06% 0.24% 42.80% 101.51%

Average New York Insured
Municipal Bond Fund -4.29% 1.14% 43.24% n/a
Consumer Price Index 1.50% 2.77% 19.29% 37.03%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS reflect actual performance over a set period - in
this case, six months, one year, five years, or since the fund started on
October 11, 1985. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a
5% return over the past year, you would end up with $1,050. You can compare
these figures to the performance of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
index - a broad gauge of the municipal bond market. To measure how the fund
stacked up against its peers, you can look at the average New York insured
municipal bond fund, which reflects the performance of 12 New York insured
municipal bond funds tracked by Lipper Analytical Services. Both benchmarks
include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any. Comparing the
fund's performance to the consumer price index (CPI) helps show how your
fund did compared to inflation. (The periods covered by the CPI numbers are
the closest available match to those covered by the fund.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity New
York Tax-Free Insured Portfolio on October 31, 1985, shortly after the fund
started. As the chart shows, by July 31, 1994, the value of your investment
would have grown to $20,099 - a 100.99% increase on your initial
investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index did over the same period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000
would have grown to $22,101 - a 121.01% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, move in the
opposite direction of interest
rates. In turn, the share price,
return, and yield of a fund
that invests in bonds will vary.
That means if you sell your
shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

DIVIDEND returns and capital appreciation returns are both part of a bond
fund's total return. A dividend return reflects the actual dividends paid
by the fund. A capital appreciation return reflects both the amount paid by
the fund to shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the
fund's share price. Both returns assume the dividends or gains are
reinvested.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period. If
you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $11.22 over
the past month, $11.46 over the past six months and $11.94 over the past
year, you can compare the fund's income over these three periods. The
30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula for all funds based on the
yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This
figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the
end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies
on an equal basis. The tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to
earn on a taxable investment to equal the fund's tax-free yield, if you're
in the 43.89% combined effective 1994 federal, state and New York City tax
bracket.

FIDELITY NEW YORK TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An Interview with Janice Bradburn, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
New York Tax-Free Money Market
Portfolio
Q. JAN, AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF RELATIVE STABILITY, WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF
ACTIVITY LATELY IN THE MONEY MARKETS. CAN YOU BRING US UP TO DATE?
A. Sure. The watershed was the decision by the Federal Reserve to raise the
federal funds rate - the rate banks charge each other for overnight loans -
one quarter of a percentage point on February 4, 1994. The Fed was
responding to increased economic activity and heightened concerns about
inflation. Later, the Fed tacked on successive quarter-point increases in
March and April, followed by a half-point increase in May to 4.25%. Since
then, rates have been stable through the period.
Q. DID TAX-FREE INTEREST RATES RISE WITH THE TIDE?
A. Not as quickly as you might expect. In the municipal market, technical
factors often play as big a role in the movement of interest rates as the
Fed's monetary policy does. That was certainly the case in New York, where
demand outpaced supply and interest rates on some issues actually fell
following the Fed's move. Variable rate demand notes were affected most by
the surge in demand. Investors seek out VRDNs when interest rates are
rising because the rate they pay adjusts weekly with prevailing rates.
Later, though, as supply entered the market in the spring, tax-free rates
rose; they've since moved roughly in tandem with taxable rates.
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY IN AN UNSTABLE MARKET?
A. The fund's average maturity was around 65 days at the beginning of the
period. Once interest rates began to rise, I let the average maturity of
the fund roll down by adding more VRDNs and commercial paper, which in this
context refers to securities issued by municipalities to finance capital or
operating needs. Allowing the fund's average maturity to roll down gave me
more flexibility to respond to rising rates. The fund has since settled in
around 50 days, which I consider neutral.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. On July 31, 1994, the fund's seven-day yield was 2.30%, up from 1.82%
six months ago. The latest yield is the equivalent of a 4.10% yield on a
taxable investment for New York City investors in the combined 43.89%
federal, state and New York City tax bracket. The fund's total return for
the six months ended on July 31 was 0.99%. During the same period, the
average New York tax-free money market fund had a total return of 0.93%,
according to IBC/Donoghue. I was able to beat the average by successfully
managing the fund's average maturity in a rising-rate environment.
Q. WHAT'S THE OUTLOOK?
A. I'm taking a cautious approach. With short-term rates likely to continue
rising, now is not the time to aggressively extend the fund's maturity.
Instead, I'll probably maintain a large percentage of VRDNs - currently
over 50% - and look for select opportunities to invest in longer-term
issues as conditions warrant. The fund's average maturity was around a
neutral 50 days at the end of the period, and I'll stay close to that in
the months ahead.

MONEY MARKETS AND
DERIVATIVES:
The word "derivatives" covers
a wide range of financial
agreements, of varying
degrees of complexity, that
have market values based on
security or market indices. All
"derivative" securities in
Fidelity's money market funds
are designed to have the price
characteristics of typical
money market securities.
During the recent Federal
Reserve Board interest rate
increases, all Fidelity money
market holdings performed as
designed and the funds
maintained a stable share
price of $1.00.
The more complex of these
instruments, such as floating
rate notes with unusual and
complex floating rate
formulas, frequently have too
much price volatility to be
appropriate investments for
money market funds. Many of
them do not offer the degree
of price stability Fidelity
believes is required in order
for its funds to maintain a
stable $1.00 share price.
Therefore, despite their
frequent higher yields at the
time they are sold, Fidelity
money market funds have not
purchased these volatile
securities. While this may
sometimes have caused
Fidelity money market funds
to have lower gross yields
than certain other funds,
Fidelity believes its investors
value prudence as well as
performance.

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
To measure a money market fund's performance, you can look at either total
return or yield. Total return reflects the change in a fund's share price
over a given period and reinvestment of its dividends (or income). Yield
measures the income paid by a fund. Since a money market fund tries to
maintain a $1 share price, yield is an important measure of performance. If
Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses during the periods shown,
the total returns would have been lower.

Average New York
Tax-Free Money Market Fund 0.93% 1.84% 17.60% n/a
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS reflect actual performance over a set period - in
this case, six months, one year, five years or ten years. For example, if
you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, you
would end up with $1,050. Comparing the fund's performance to the consumer
price index helps show how your investment did compared to inflation. To
measure how the fund stacked up against its peers, you can compare its
return to the average New York tax-free money market fund's total return.
This average currently reflects the performance of 37 New York tax-free
money market funds tracked by IBC/Donoghue.

YIELD refers to the income paid by the fund over a given period. Yields for
money market funds are usually for seven-day periods, expressed as annual
percentage rates. A yield that assumes income earned is reinvested or
compounded is called an effective yield. The chart above shows the fund's
current seven-day yield at quarterly intervals over the past year. You can
compare these yields to the average tax-free money market fund. Or you can
look at the fund's tax-equivalent yield, which is based on a combined
effective 1994 federal, state and New York City income tax rate of 43.89%.
The tax-equivalent figures are useful in seeing how the fund stacked up
against the average taxable money market fund as tracked by IBC/Donoghue.
A MONEY MARKET FUND'S TOTAL RETURNS AND YIELDS REFLECT PAST RESULTS RATHER
THAN PREDICT FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
COMPARING
PERFORMANCE
Yields on tax-free investments
are usually lower than yields
on taxable investments.
However, a straight
comparison between the two
may be misleading because it
ignores the way taxes reduce
taxable returns. Tax-equivalent
yield - the yield you'd have to
earn on a similar taxable
investment to match the
tax-free yield - makes the
comparison more meaningful.
Keep in mind that the U.S.
government neither insures nor
guarantees a money market
fund. And there is no
assurance that a money fund
will maintain a $1 share price.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended July 31, 1994 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Fidelity New York Tax-Free High Yield Portfolio (the high yield fund) and
Fidelity New York Tax-Free Insured Portfolio (the insured fund) are funds
of Fidelity New York Municipal Trust. Fidelity New York Tax-Free Money
Market Portfolio (the money market fund) is a fund of Fidelity New York
Municipal Trust II. Each trust is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management
investment company. Fidelity New York Municipal Trust and Fidelity New York
Municipal Trust II (the trusts) are organized as a Massachusetts business
trust and a Delaware business trust, respectively. Each fund is authorized
to issue an unlimited number of shares. The following summarizes the
significant accounting policies of the high yield fund, the insured fund
and the money market fund:
SECURITY VALUATION.
HIGH YIELD AND INSURED FUNDS. Securities are valued based upon a
computerized matrix system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of
which consider market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations.
Short-term securities maturing within sixty days are valued either at
amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which
approximate current value. Securities for which quotations are not readily
available through the pricing service are valued at their fair value as
determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the
general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
MONEY MARKET FUND. 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 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 original issue discount, is accrued as earned. For the
money market fund, 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. Distributions to shareholders from
realized capital gains on investments,
if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for
losses deferred due to wash sales and, for the high yield fund, futures and
options transactions. The high yield and insured funds also utilized
earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as
part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
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.
DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. Each fund may purchase or sell securities on
a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take
place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of the
underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered
and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. Each fund
identifies securities as segregated in its custodial records with a value
at least equal to the amount of the purchase commitment.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. The high yield and insured funds may invest
in futures contracts and write options. These investments involve to
varying degrees, elements of market risk and risks in excess of the amount
recognized in their Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The face or
contract amounts reflect the extent of the involvement the high yield and
insured funds have in the particular classes of instruments. Risks may be
caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the
instruments and the price of the underlying securities and interest rates.
Risks also may arise if there is an illiquid secondary market for the
instruments, or due to the inability of counterparties to perform.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Options traded
on an exchange are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a
sale, the last offering price. Options traded over-the-counter are valued
using dealer-supplied valuations.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF
INVESTMENTS.
HIGH YIELD FUND. Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term
securities, aggregated $90,777,258 and $119,927,727, respectively. The
market value of futures contracts opened and closed amounted to
$339,374,703 and $339,374,703 respectively.
INSURED FUND. Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term
securities, aggregated $85,086,217 and $122,030,537, respectively. The
market value of futures contracts opened and closed amounted to
$303,747,860 and $306,428,878, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As each fund's investment adviser, Fidelity Management &
Research Company (FMR) receives a monthly basic fee that is calculated on
the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied
to the average net assets of each fund. The group fee rate is the weighted
average of a series of rates ranging from .1325% to .37% for the high yield
and insured funds and .15% to .37% for the money market fund, and is based
on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR.
The annual individual fund fee rate is .25%. For the period, the management
fees were equivalent to annual rates of .41% of average net assets.
For the money market fund, effective November 1, 1993, FMR voluntarily
agreed to implement a new group fee rate schedule with rates ranging from
.1325% to .37% as it resulted in the same or a lower management fee. This
group fee rate schedule gave the fund the same effective group fee rate as
the high yield and insured funds. It remained in effect through July 31,
1994.
The Board of Trustees has approved a new group fee rate schedule with rates
ranging from .12% to .37%. Effective August 1, 1994, FMR has voluntarily
agreed to implement this new group fee rate schedule for the high yield,
insured and money market funds as it results in the same or a lower
management fee.
SUB-ADVISER FEE. As the money market 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, and after reducing
the fee for any payments by FMR pursuant to the fund's Distribution and
Service Plan.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service
Plans (the Plans), 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 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 shares or render
shareholder support services. FMR or FDC has informed the funds that
payments made to third parties under the Plans amounted to $1,946, $2,003
and $42,777 for the high yield, insured and money market funds,
respectively, for the period.
TRANSFER AGENT AND ACCOUNTING FEES. United Missouri Bank, N.A. (the Bank)
is the custodian and transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the
funds. The Bank has entered into a sub-contract with Fidelity Service Co.
(FSC), an affiliate of FMR, under which FSC performs the activities
associated with the funds' transfer and shareholder servicing agent and
accounting functions. The funds pay transfer agent fees
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
TRANSFER AGENT AND ACCOUNTING FEES - CONTINUED
based on the type, size, number of accounts and number of transactions made
by shareholders. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all
shareholder reports, except proxy statements. 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 transfer agent and accounting fees
amounting to $237,833 and $95,061 for the high yield fund, $201,469 and
$79,451 for the insured fund and $531,656 and $59,524 for the money market
fund, respectively.
Shareholders participating in the Fidelity Ultra Service Account(registered
trademark) Program (the Program) pay a $5.00 monthly fee to Fidelity
Brokerage Services, Inc. (FBSI), an affiliate of FMR, for performing
services associated with the Program. For the period, fees paid to FBSI by
shareholders participating in the Program amounted to $48,035.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The first half of the year has been an
unsettling time for bond investors. The bond market declined after the
Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates from February
through May. These rate hikes caused bond yields to rise and bond prices to
fall. The board raised the rate again in August, and while nobody knows
whether rates will continue to go up, this may be a good time to review the
effect rising rates have on your bond fund investment, and consider how
well your current bond fund holdings match your investment goals.
Most investors choose bond funds to generate income and to help diversify
their investment portfolios. Despite the recent market downturn, bond
mutual funds can still satisfy these needs. Where investors have felt the
negative effect of rising rates is in the market value of their investment,
which has eroded as bond prices have fallen. It's important to remember,
however, that this loss in principal is only "on paper" until you sell your
shares. That's why your investing time horizon is key.
If your time horizon is short - one year or less - you may want to consider
shifting all or part of your bond fund investment into short-term
investments.
If you don't need your money within the next year, staying in your bond
fund may be the appropriate strategy for you. The longer your investing
time frame, the better your chances of retaining your principal investment
through periods of rising AND falling rates. For example, if you plan to
use your money in one to two years, a short-term bond fund may be the right
choice. If your time frame is two to four years, a fund with an
intermediate length average maturity may be best. If you have a longer-term
goal - say a child's college education that's 10 years away - you may be
willing to ride out the bond market's peaks and valleys in exchange for the
higher potential returns of a longer-term fund.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We would be happy
to send you a Fidelity FundMatch kit, which can help you determine the mix
of investments that is right for you. You might also find it convenient to
set up
a regular investment plan using the Fidelity Automatic Account BuilderSM.
Periodic investment plans do not, of course, assure a profit, nor do they
protect against a loss in a declining market.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
SPARTAN NEW YORK MUNICIPAL HIGH YIELD PORTFOLIO
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, reinvestment of any dividends (or
income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells bonds
that have grown in value), and the effect of the $5 account closeout fee.
You can also look at the fund's income. If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain fund expenses during the periods shown, the total returns and
dividends would have been lower.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED JULY 31, 1994 PAST 6 PAST 1 LIFE OF
MONTHS YEAR FUND
Spartan New York Municipal High Yield -5.50% -0.21% 43.82%
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index -3.76% 1.90% n/a
Average New York Tax-Exempt
Municipal Bond Fund -4.92% 0.40% n/a
Consumer Price Index 1.50% 2.77% 16.48%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS reflect actual performance over a set period - in
this case, six months, one year, or since the fund started on February 3,
1990. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5%
return over the past year, you would end up with $1,050. You can compare
these figures to the performance of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index - a broad gauge of the municipal bond market. To measure how the fund
stacked up against its peers, you can look at the average New York
tax-exempt municipal bond fund, which reflects the performance of 70 New
York tax-exempt municipal bond funds tracked by Lipper Analytical Services.
Both benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.
Comparing the fund's performance to the consumer price index (CPI) helps
show how your fund did compared to inflation. (The periods covered by CPI
numbers are the closest available match to those covered by the fund.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Spartan New
York Municipal High Yield Portfolio on February 28, 1990, shortly after the
fund started. As the chart shows, by July 31, 1994, the value of your
investment would have grown to $14,311 -
a 43.11% increase on your initial investment. This assumes you still own
the fund on July 31, 1994 and therefore does not include the effect of the
$5 account closeout fee. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers
Municipal Bond Index did over the same period. With dividends reinvested,
the same $10,000 would have grown to $14,249 - a 42.49% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, move in the
opposite direction of interest
rates. In turn, the share price,
return, and yield of a fund

DIVIDEND returns and capital appreciation returns are both part of a bond
fund's total return. A dividend return reflects the actual dividends paid
by the fund. A capital appreciation return reflects both the amount paid by
the fund to shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the
fund's share price. Both returns assume the dividends or gains are
reinvested. Capital appreciation and total returns include the effect of
the $5 account closeout fee.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period. If
you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $10.19 over
the past month, $10.46 over the past six months and $10.96 over the past
year, you can compare the fund's income over these three periods. The
30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula for all funds based on the
yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This
figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the
end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies
on an equal basis. The tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to
earn on a taxable investment to equal the fund's tax-free yield, if you're
in the 43.89% combined effective 1994 federal, state and New York City
income tax bracket.
SPARTAN NEW YORK MUNICIPAL HIGH YIELD PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Norman Lind,
Portfolio Manager of Spartan New
York Municipal High Yield Portfolio
Q. NORM, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. Both the municipal market and the fund have experienced a difficult six
months. For the six months ended July 31, 1994, the fund had a total return
of -5.50%. That compares to the average New York municipal bond fund, which
returned -4.92% for the same period, according to Lipper Analytical
Services. For the 12 months ended July 31, 1994, the fund returned -0.21%,
compared to the average fund's return of 0.40%, again according to Lipper.
Q. LET'S START WITH THE MUNICIPAL MARKET. WHAT ACCOUNTS FOR IT'S
PERFORMANCE OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. On February 4, the Federal Reserve Board, acting on evidence that the
economy had grown at a fairly strong pace in the fourth quarter of 1993,
raised the federal funds rate - the rate banks charge each other for
overnight loans - by a quarter of a percentage point to 3.25%. At that
time, there wasn't any solid evidence that this growth was causing higher
inflation. Despite that, investors reacted negatively. They were concerned
that the Fed was seeing some inflationary pressures they weren't, and
feared further interest rate hikes. That's exactly what happened. The Fed
moved three more times through May, raising the federal funds rate to
4.25%. Most of the market's and the fund's losses came in February and
March, when the selling was at its peak. By July, the market bounced back
slightly based on some evidence that the economy's growth rate was slowing.
Q. TURNING TO THE FUND, WHY DID IT UNDER-PERFORM THE AVERAGE NEW YORK FUND?
A. Mainly because it had a longer duration during much of the period than
many of its competitors. Duration is a measure of the fund's sensitivity to
changes in interest rates. The longer the duration, the more sensitive the
fund is to interest rate changes. The fund's share price fell more than
many of its competitors when rates rose. However, my view is that long-term
interest rates will remain flat or even fall from current levels, and
having a longer duration will be best if that kind of environment evolves.
So, to generally help reduce the fund's volatility, I've used bond futures
contracts.
Q. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TALK LATELY ABOUT DERIVATIVES. AREN'T FUTURES ONE
OF THE FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS KNOWN AS A DERIVATIVE, AND DO YOU USE OTHERS?
A. Yes, a futures contract is one type of financial derivative - meaning
its market value is derived from a security or market index. We've used
futures and options in our municipal bond funds for years. More recently,
I've used what's known as an inverse floater - whose yield rises as
short-term rates fall, and vice versa. Inverse floaters act like very
long-term bonds, effectively increasing a fund's duration, which is good in
a falling interest rate environment, but can hurt the fund when interest
rates rise. That is, of course, exactly what happened. During the past six
months, inverse floaters made up about 5% of the fund's total investments.
By using these various derivatives, I achieve increased flexibility in
managing the fund's overall sensitivity to changes in interest rates, and
hopefully, can achieve higher levels of income.
Q. WERE THERE ANY SPECIFIC TYPES OF BONDS THAT DIDN'T FARE VERY WELL OVER
THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. Throughout much of the period, electric utility bonds were hurt because
the rating agencies expressed concern about increased competition among
electricity providers. Bonds issued by the Long Island Lighting Company -
the fund's largest electric utility investment and 4.2% of its total
investments on July 31 - were downgraded and their prices fell during the
early months of the year. I continue to hold these bonds because of their
relatively high current yields. Also, I believe that the Long Island
Lighting Company won't face any competition going forward. On a relative
basis, they have done well recently. Another sector affected by the threat
of increased competition was resource recovery bonds, which were mostly
issued to help build and fund garbage burning plants. In the spring, the
Supreme Court ruled that municipalities could no longer mandate that
garbage producers use resource recovery plants, rather than landfills, for
waste disposal. However, I've concentrated mainly on the bonds of resource
recovery plants located in areas that would find it too expensive to ship
garbage to landfills. They should not be negatively affected by the ruling.
Q. WHAT WERE SOME OF THE BRIGHT SPOTS FOR THE FUND?
A. The fund's state-appropriated bonds, which rely on annual appropriations
by the state legislature to meet all or part of their principal and
interest payments, did relatively well. As the New York economy showed
signs of improvement, and the state made progress on debt reform, investors
seemed to expect these bonds to get upgraded, and their value generally
increased. When the state experienced some trouble a couple of years ago,
those bonds were downgraded to Baa by Moody's Investor Services. New York
City bonds were another bright spot. During the past six months, I
increased the fund's stake in these bonds at a time when supply was heavy
and prices were relatively attractive. I recently sold some of these bonds
once supply had tightened.
Q. WHAT SHOULD WE EXPECT OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS?
A. In the short-term, the bond market could be volatile. That's because
investors will continue to try to decipher every economic statistic,
attempting to determine what it means for the economy and how the Federal
Reserve might react. But I believe that if clear and sustainable trends
emerge, the market will become more settled. In my view, there is some
evidence that higher interest rates have slowed the economy in the second
quarter. Housing, jobs, retail sales and consumer spending have all shown
signs of slowing in the second quarter from a fairly healthy first quarter.
I believe that for the next year or so economic growth would be moderate
and inflation shouldn't be a problem. So, I'll continue to keep the fund
positioned to take advantage of a flat to declining interest rate
environment and use futures to help protect against any short-term
volatility as market conditions warrant.

NORM LIND'S OUTLOOK FOR THE
MUNICIPAL MARKET:
" We're beginning to see signs
that higher interest rates are
actually slowing the economy.
In my view, we're heading into
a period of relative economic
stability with the growth rate
moderating over the next six
to 18 months. If that happens,
and inflation stays in check,
as it is now, I believe the
municipal market can perform
better than it has recently.
Under those conditions,
long-term interest rates could
inch back down as investors
adjust to the new
environment. One thing
investors hate is uncertainty,
which is what we've had
recently. But if investors
become more confident, they
could return to the market.
Right now, on an after-tax
basis, municipal bonds are a
very attractive fixed income
alternative. At the same time,
the supply of New York
municipal bonds has dropped
significantly this year from
1993. Stable or falling interest
rates and a reduced supply
could bode well for the
municipal market. "

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with David Murphy,
Portfolio Manager of Spartan New
York Intermediate Municipal Portfolio
Q. DAVID, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. It has been a difficult period for both the municipal bond market and
the fund. For the six months ended July 31, 1994, the fund had a total
return of -2.93%. That compares to the average New York intermediate
municipal bond fund, which returned -2.27% for the same period, according
to Lipper Analytical Services.
Q. WHAT DROVE THE MUNICIPAL MARKET'S PERFORMANCE?
A. The Federal Reserve Board, acting on evidence that the economy had grown
at a fairly strong pace in the fourth quarter of 1993, raised short-term
interest rates one-quarter of a percent in early February. That was in
spite of the fact that there wasn't any solid evidence that this growth was
causing higher inflation. Since the bond market fears inflation, a
preemptive Fed move against the threat of future inflation is sometimes
greeted enthusiastically by long-term bond investors. But this time, the
market reacted negatively because investors started expecting further Fed
hikes. As a result, many investors started to sell municipal bonds, and the
market dropped. Most of the fund's and the market's losses came in February
and March, when the selling was at its peak. By the end of May, the Fed had
raised short-term interest rates by 1.25% to 4.25%. In July the market
rallied somewhat, based on the sense that the Fed's interest rate hikes
were actually slowing down the economy and easing inflationary pressures.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND UNDER-PERFORM THE AVERAGE NEW YORK INTERMEDIATE FUND?
A. The primary reason was that the fund had a longer duration during much
of the period than many of its competitors. Duration is a measure of the
fund's volatility when interest rates move up or down. The longer the
duration, the more sensitive the fund is to changes in interest rates. As a
result, when rates rose, the fund's share price fell more than many of its
competitors. At the beginning of 1994, I had structured the fund to take
advantage of what I believed would be a relatively stable interest rate
environment.
Q. ONCE RATES STARTED RISING, WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST SHORTEN THE FUND'S
DURATION?
A. I kept the fund's core structure in place because my long-term view is
that inflation will stay low and we'll see a return to lower long-term
interest rates within the next 18 months. Obviously, I've been challenged
in my thinking, but I continue to believe that the fund's structure will be
appropriate for the foreseeable future. Instead of changing the core
structure of the fund, I used futures to generally try to offset the fund's
volatility.
Q. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TALK LATELY ABOUT DERIVATIVES. AREN'T FUTURES ONE
OF THE FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS KNOWN AS A DERIVATIVES, AND DO YOU USE
OTHERS?
A. Yes, a future is one type of financial derivative - meaning its market
value is derived from a security or market index. We've used futures and
options in our municipal bond funds for years. More recently, I've also
used what's known as an inverse floater - whose yield rises as short-term
rates fall, and vice versa. Inverse floaters act like long-term bonds,
effectively increasing a fund's duration, which is good in a falling
interest rate environment, but can hurt the fund when interest rates rise.
During the past six months, inverse floaters made up less than 5% of the
fund's total investments. By using these various derivatives, I achieve
increased flexibility in managing the fund's overall sensitivity to changes
in interest rates, and hopefully, can achieve higher levels of income.
Q. DID YOU EMPHASIZE ANY PARTICULAR TYPES OF BONDS?
A. Throughout the period, I've added to the fund's investments in
state-appropriated bonds. These bonds rely on annual appropriations by the
state legislature to make principal and interest payments. Most of the
fund's lease revenue bonds - which make up its largest sector concentration
at 20.3% of investments on July 31 - are state-appropriated bonds. With
improvements in New York state's economy and fiscal situation, these bonds
- - which were downgraded several years ago - have done fairly well recently.
I believe that they may be upgraded within the next 12 months, which could
help their prices even more. New York City bonds also did well over the
past six months, because there has been a growing sense that fiscal and
economic conditions in the city are also improving. More recently, I pared
the fund's stake in these bonds after they had appreciated, locking in a
profit for the fund. I still hold some of these bonds, because they offer
fairly attractive current yields.
Q. WHAT OTHER SECTORS HAVE BEEN
ATTRACTIVE?
A. Resource recovery bonds, which help finance garbage burning plants, made
up 16.8% of the fund's investments at the end of July. These bonds were
hurt in the spring because of the threat of increased competition. The
Supreme Court recently ruled that municipalities could no longer force
garbage producers to use garbage burning plants instead of landfills for
waste disposal. I had anticipated this outcome, so I waited until the bad
news was out before building the position in this sector. Also, I had
concentrated most of the fund's resource recovery holdings in regions where
it would be cheaper to send garbage to plants, rather than landfills. The
bonds in those regions shouldn't be negatively affected by the ruling over
the long term.
Q. DO YOU THINK THE WORST IS OVER FOR MUNICIPAL BONDS?
A. I believe so, but I expect to see a high level of market volatility over
the short term. Long term, there are some positives working in municipal
bonds' favor. The municipal market is very dependent on supply and demand.
With interest rates higher, the supply of New York municipal bonds is
expected to be considerably less in 1994 than in 1993. If demand remains
fairly constant and supply is lower, municipal bond prices could rise. But
in addition, I believe that demand for municipal bonds could increase over
the next year or so, once the market settles down and individual investors
feel more confident about the municipal bond market.

DAVID MURPHY'S STRATEGY:
"One of my primary goals is to
generate a fairly high level of
income for the fund. For
example, I look for bonds in
the lower end of the
investment grade range.
These bonds can offer
significantly higher yields, but
also can have more credit
risk. However, I'm not just
chasing after yield. When I
buy municipal bonds, my goal
is always to find the highest
yields possible, while keeping
risk in check. "
(medium solid bullet) Lease revenue bonds were
the fund's largest sector
concentration at 20.3% of
investments as of July 31,

bonds are state-appropriated,
meaning they rely on annual

legislature to make principal
and interest payments.

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, reinvestment of any dividends (or
income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells bonds
that have grown in value), and the effect of the $5 account closeout fee.
You can also look at the fund's income. If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain fund expenses during the periods shown, the total returns and
dividends would have been lower.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index -3.76% n/a
Average New York Tax-Exempt
Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund -2.27% n/a
Consumer Price Index 1.50% 1.78%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS reflect actual performance over a set period - in
this case, six months or since the fund started on December 29, 1993. For
example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the
past year, you would end up with $1,050. You can compare the fund's results
to the performance of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index - a broad
gauge of the municipal bond market. To measure how the fund stacks up
against its peers, you can also look at the average New York tax-exempt
intermediate municipal bond fund, which reflects the performance of 18 New
York tax-exempt intermediate municipal bond funds tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services. Both benchmarks include reinvested dividends and
capital gains, if any. Comparing the fund's performance to the consumer
price index (CPI) helps show how your fund did compared to inflation. (The
period covered by the CPI number is the closest available match to that
covered by the fund.)
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return
and show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. Average annual returns for the fund and its
benchmarks will appear in the fund's next annual report, once the fund is
older; this next report will also show the effect of investing $10,000 over
the life of the fund for both the fund and the Lehman Brothers Municipal
Bond Index.

the fund to shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the
fund's share price. Both returns assume the dividends or gains are
reinvested. Capital appreciation and total returns include the effect of
the $5 account closeout fee.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period. If
you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $9.50 over
the past month, $9.60 over the past six months, and $9.66 over the life of
fund, you can compare the fund's income over these three periods. The
30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula for all funds based on the
yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This
figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the
end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies
on an equal basis. The tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to
earn on a taxable investment to equal the fund's tax-free yield, if you're
in the 43.89% combined effective 1994 federal, state and New York City
income tax bracket. If the advisor had not reimbursed certain portfolio
expenses during the period shown, the yield and tax-equivalent yield would
have been 4.87% and 8.68%, respectively.

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
To measure a money market fund's performance, you can look at either total
return or yield. Total return reflects the change in a fund's share price
over a given period, reinvestment of its dividends (or income), and the
effect of the fund's $5 account closeout fee. Yield measures the income
paid by a fund. Since a money market fund tries to maintain a $1 share
price, yield is an important measure of performance. If Fidelity had not
reimbursed certain fund expenses during the periods shown, the total
returns would have been lower.

Consumer Price Index 1.50% 2.77% 16.48%

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS reflect actual performance over a set period - in
this case, six months, one year or since the fund started on February 3,
1990. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return
over the past year, you would have $1,050. Comparing the fund's performance
to the consumer price index (CPI) helps show how your investment did
compared to inflation. To measure how the fund stacked up against its
peers, you can compare its return to the average New York tax-free money
market fund's total return. This average currently reflects the performance
of 37 New York tax-free money market funds tracked by IBC/Donoghue. (The
periods covered by the CPI and IBC/Donoghue numbers are the closest
available match to those covered by the fund.)

YIELD refers to the income paid by the fund over a given period. Yields for
money market funds are usually for seven-day periods, expressed as annual
percentage rates. A yield that assumes income earned is reinvested or
compounded is called an effective yield. The chart above shows the fund's
current seven-day yield at quarterly intervals over the past year. You can
compare these yields to the average New York tax-free money market fund. Or
you can look at the fund's tax-equivalent yield, which is based on a
combined effective 1994 federal, state and New York City income tax rate of
43.89%. The tax-equivalent figures are useful in seeing how the fund
stacked up against the average taxable money market fund as tracked by
IBC/Donoghue.
A MONEY MARKET FUND'S TOTAL RETURNS AND YIELDS WILL VARY, AND REFLECT PAST
RESULTS RATHER THAN PREDICT FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
COMPARING
PERFORMANCE
Yields on tax-free investments
are usually lower than yields
on taxable investments.
However, a straight
comparison between the two
may be misleading because it
ignores the way taxes reduce
taxable returns. Tax-equivalent
yield - the yield you'd have to
earn on a similar taxable
investment to match the
tax-free yield - makes the
comparison more meaningful.
Keep in mind that the U.S.
government neither insures nor
guarantees a money market
fund. In fact, there is no
assurance that a money fund
will maintain a $1 share price.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An Interview with Janice Bradburn,
Portfolio Manager of Spartan
New York Municipal Money Market
Portfolio
Q. JAN, AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF RELATIVE STABILITY, WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF
ACTIVITY LATELY IN THE MONEY MARKETS. CAN YOU BRING US UP TO DATE?
A. Sure. The watershed was the decision by the Federal Reserve to raise the
federal funds rate - the rate banks charge each other for overnight loans -
one quarter of a percentage point on February 4, 1994. The Fed was
responding to increased economic activity and heightened concerns about
inflation. Later, the Fed tacked on further increases, taking the rate to
4.25%. Rates then were stable through the end of the period.
Q. DID TAX-FREE INTEREST RATES RISE WITH THE TIDE?
A. Not as quickly as you might expect. In the municipal market, technical
factors often play as big a role in the movement of interest rates as the
Fed's monetary policy does. That was certainly the case in New York, where
demand outpaced supply and interest rates on some issues actually fell
following the Fed's move. Variable rate demand notes were affected most by
the surge in demand. Investors seek out VRDNs when interest rates are
rising because the rate they pay adjusts weekly with prevailing rates.
Later, though, as supply entered the market in the spring, tax-free rates
rose; they've since moved roughly in tandem with taxable rates.
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY IN AN UNSTABLE MARKET?
A. The fund's average maturity was around 65 days at the beginning of the
period. Once interest rates began to rise, I let the average maturity of
the fund roll down by adding more VRDNs and commercial paper, which in this
context refers to securities issued by municipalities to finance capital or
operating needs. Allowing the fund's average maturity to roll down gave me
more flexibility to respond to rising rates. The fund has since settled in
around 50 days, which I consider neutral.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. On July 31, 1994, the fund's seven-day yield was 2.44%, up from 1.90%
six months ago. The latest yield is the equivalent of a 4.35% yield on a
taxable investment for New York City investors in the combined 43.89%
federal, state and New York City tax bracket. The fund's total return for
the six months ended on July 31 was 1.05%. During the same period, the
average New York tax-free money market fund had a total return of 0.93%,
according to IBC/Donoghue. I was able to beat the average by successfully
managing the fund's average maturity in a rising-rate environment.
Q. WHAT'S THE OUTLOOK?
A. I'm taking a cautious approach. With short-term rates likely to continue
rising, now is not the time to aggressively extend the fund's maturity.
Instead, I'll probably maintain a large percentage of VRDNs - currently
over 50% - and look for select opportunities to invest in longer-term
issues as conditions warrant. The fund's average maturity was around a
neutral 50 days at the end of the period, and I'll likely stay close to
that in the months ahead.

MONEY MARKETS AND
DERIVATIVES:
The word "derivatives" covers
a wide range of financial
agreements, of varying
degrees of complexity, that
have market values based on
security or market indices. All
"derivative" securities in
Fidelity's money market funds
are designed to have the price
characteristics of typical
money market securities.
During the recent Federal
Reserve Board interest rate
increases, all Fidelity money
market holdings performed as
designed and the funds
maintained a stable share
price of $1.00.
The more complex of these
instruments, such as floating
rate notes with unusual and
complex floating rate
formulas, frequently have too
much price volatility to be
appropriate investments for
money market funds. Many of
them do not offer the degree
of price stability Fidelity
believes is required in order
for its funds to maintain a
stable $1.00 share price.
Therefore, despite their
frequent higher yields at the
time they are sold, Fidelity
money market funds have not
purchased these volatile
securities. While this may
sometimes have caused
Fidelity money market funds
to have lower gross yields
than certain other funds,
Fidelity believes its investors
value prudence as well as
performance.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended July 31, 1994 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Spartan New York Municipal High Yield Portfolio (the high yield fund) and
Spartan New York Intermediate Municipal Portfolio ( the intermediate fund)
are funds of Fidelity New York Municipal Trust. Spartan New York Municipal
Money Market Portfolio (the money market fund) is a fund of Fidelity New
York Municipal Trust II. Each trust is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management
investment company. Fidelity New York Municipal Trust and Fidelity New York
Municipal Trust II (the trusts) are organized as a Massachusetts business
trust and a Delaware business trust, respectively.
At a special meeting of the shareholders of the money market fund held on
January 19, 1994, shareholders approved an Agreement and Plan of Conversion
and Termination (the Plan of Conversion), providing for the conversion of
the fund from a separate series of a Massachusetts business trust, to a
separate series of a Delaware business trust, effective March 20, 1994. The
individual investment objective, policies and limitations of the fund
remain the same.
Each fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The
following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the high yield
fund, the intermediate fund and the money market fund:
SECURITY VALUATION.
HIGH YIELD AND INTERMEDIATE FUNDS. Securities are valued based upon a
computerized matrix system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of
which consider market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations.
Short-term securities maturing within sixty days are valued either at
amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which
approximate current value. Securities for which quotations are not readily
available through the pricing service are valued at their fair value as
determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the
general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
MONEY MARKET FUND. 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. The intermediate fund intends to qualify as a regulated
investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. The
high yield and money market funds are each qualified as a regulated
investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. By so
qualifying, each fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it
distributes 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 original issue discount, is accrued as earned. For the
money market fund, accretion of market discount represents unrealized gain
until realized at the time of a security disposition or maturity.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the 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. Distributions to shareholders from
realized capital gains on investments, if any, are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for
excise tax regulations and losses deferred due to wash sales, and for the
high yield and intermediate funds, futures and options transactions. The
high yield fund also utilized earnings and profits distributed to
shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid
deduction for income tax purposes.
REDEMPTION FEES. Shares held in the high yield fund less than 180 days are
subject to a redemption fee equal to .50% of the proceeds of the redeemed
shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an
addition to paid in capital.
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.
DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. Each fund may purchase or sell securities on
a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take
place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of the
underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered
and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. The high yield and intermediate funds may
invest in futures contracts and write options. These investments involve to
varying degrees, elements of market risk and risks in excess of the amount
recognized in their Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The face or
contract amounts reflect the extent of the involvement the high yield and
intermediate funds have in the particular classes of instruments. Risks may
be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the
instruments and the price of the underlying securities and interest rates.
Risks also may arise if there is an illiquid secondary market for the
instruments, or due to the inability of counterparties to perform.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Options traded
on an exchange are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a
sale, the last offering price. Options traded over-the-counter are valued
using dealer-supplied valuations.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF
INVESTMENTS.
HIGH YIELD FUND. Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term
securities, aggregated $89,668,023 and $133,287,151, respectively. The
gross market value of futures contracts opened and closed amounted to
$303,396,449 and $314,328,729, respectively.
INTERMEDIATE FUND. Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term
securities, aggregated $24,180,772 and $2,163,202, respectively. The gross
market value of futures contracts opened and closed amounted to $11,465,816
and $11,512,309, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As each fund's investment adviser, Fidelity Management &
Research Company (FMR) pays all expenses except the compensation of the
non-interested Trustees and certain exceptions such as interest, taxes,
brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses. FMR receives a fee that
is computed daily at an annual rate of .55%, .55% and .50% of average net
assets for the high yield, intermediate and money market funds,
respectively.
SUB-ADVISER FEE. As the money market 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, and after reducing
the fee for any payments by FMR pursuant to the fund's Distribution and
Service Plan.
FMR also bears the cost of providing shareholder services to each fund. For
the period, FMR or its affiliates collected certain transaction fees from
shareholders which aggregated $5,510, $520, and $6,748 for the high yield,
intermediate and money market funds, respectively.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
INTERMEDIATE FUND. For the period, FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse all
of the fund's operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions and extraordinary expenses) and the reimbursement reduced
expenses by $63,970.
