PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although there have been a few positive market indications so far in 1995,
no one can predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted
below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This
downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was generally
very positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
Keeping in mind that the effects of interest rate changes on your bond
investments will only be "paper" gains or losses unless you sell your
shares, staying in your bond fund may be appropriate if your investment
horizon is at least a year or more. The longer your investing time frame,
the more likely it is that you will retain your principal investment
through both up and down markets. For example, a 10-year time frame, such
as saving for a college education, enables you to weather these ups and
downs in a long-term fund, which has higher potential returns. An
intermediate-length fund could be appropriate if your investment horizon is
two to four years, and a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if
you need your money in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving
some of your bond investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
No matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes
good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain amount
of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We stand ready
to provide the information you need to make the investments that are right
for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d

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 to measure performance. 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 JANUARY 31, 1995 PAST 1 LIFE OF
YEAR FUND
Spartan New York Municipal High Yield -6.17% 42.80%
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index -3.56% n/a
Average New York
Municipal Bond Fund -5.93% n/a
Consumer Price Index 2.80% 17.97%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS reflect actual performance over a specific period
- - in this case, 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 municipal bond
fund, which currently reflects the performance of 69 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 (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 January 31, 1995, the value of your
investment would have grown to $14,210 - a 42.10% increase on your initial
investment. This assumes you still own the fund on January 31, 1995 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 $14,284 - a 42.84% 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.

DIVIDEND returns and capital appreciation returns are both part of a bond

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.

you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $9.61 over
the past month, $9.80 over the past six months and $10.13 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 43.92% combined effective 1995 federal, state and New York City
income tax bracket.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Although there was a municipal
bond market rally beginning in
mid-November, sharply rising
interest rates caused a significant
downturn in all U.S. bond markets
in the 12 months ended January
31, 1995. Yields rose sharply -
and prices fell - on both taxable
and tax-free bonds. For the 12
months ended January 31, 1995,
the Lehman Brothers Municipal
Bond Index - a broad measure
of the tax-free market - had a
total return of -3.56%. By
comparison, the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index
- - a proxy of investment-grade
taxable bonds - returned
- -2.31%. The Federal Reserve
Board raised the federal funds
rate - the rate banks charge
each other for overnight loans -
from 3.00% to 5.50% from
February through November. The
Fed was hoping to head off future
inflation that might be triggered by
an improving U.S. economy. The
supply of new municipal issues
dropped through most of the year,
as municipalities avoided issuing
bonds at ever higher rates.
However, the pace of interest rate
increases - which led to drops in
the value of bonds -
overshadowed the benefits of
lower supply. Investor demand
dropped due to inflation fears,
further dampening prices. The
late-year rally was sparked by
increased demand and continued
short supply of muni issues.
An interview with Norm Lind,
Portfolio Manager of Spartan New York Municipal High Yield Portfolio
Q. NORM, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. Rising interest rates and fears of inflation helped make 1994 one of the
worst years on record for all bonds, and the fund's performance reflected
that. For the year ended January 31, 1995, the fund had a total return of
- -6.17%. That compared to the average New York municipal bond fund, which
returned -5.93% for the same period, according to Lipper Analytical
Services.
Q. WHAT ACCOUNTS FOR THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. The fund was invested in certain types of bonds which underperformed the
market throughout much of the period. The bonds I'm referring to included
high investment-grade non-callable and discount bonds, as well as
lower-quality bonds in the resource recovery and utility sectors.
Non-callable bonds, which can't be redeemed by their issuer before a
scheduled maturity date, and discount bonds, which sell below face value,
can be more sensitive to rising interest rates than other types of bonds.
As a result, these bonds commanded a high price and did very well when
interest rates fell in 1993, but fell out of favor and underperformed when
rates rose in 1994. From November through the end of January, however, the
bond market rallied and these bonds once again did well and helped the
fund's performance. Going forward, there is a limited supply of these bonds
available, which could help their prices if they continue to be favored
among investors.
Q. WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE LOWER-QUALITY RESOURCE RECOVERY AND UTILITY
BONDS?
A. They were hurt by two factors. First, credit spreads widened, meaning
that there was less demand for lower-quality than higher-quality bonds.
Second, both the resource recovery and utility industries were hurt by
fears of heightened competition. But like non-callables and discounts,
these bonds also did better during the last few months as credit spreads
started to tighten. Most of the fund's holdings in resource recovery bonds
and utility bonds are issues that I think can withstand, or appear to be
immune, from increased competitive pressures.
Q. WHAT OTHER CHANGES DID YOU MAKE TO THE FUND'S HOLDINGS?
A. For one, I started reducing the fund's stake in New York City bonds
toward the end of 1994. These bonds did relatively well earlier in the
year, but I have some concerns about the city's economy and fiscal budget.
Also, I continued to pare back the fund's stake in state-appropriated
bonds, which rely on annual appropriations by the state legislature to meet
all or part of their principal and interest payments. I began selling in
mid- to late 1994 because I felt that most of the advantages of holding
these bonds had already been played out and I wanted to take advantage of
strong demand for these bonds when I sold them.
Q. TRANSPORTATION BONDS MADE UP THE FUND'S LARGEST SECTOR CONCENTRATION AT
21.3% AT THE END OF THE PERIOD. WHY DO YOU FAVOR THESE TYPES OF BONDS?
A. In part because of their strong credit fundamentals. These issues are
backed by tolls and other fees and, as a result, their fiscal situation
tends to be fairly resilient in any type of economic climate. Two of the
fund's largest holdings in this area at the end of the period were
Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority and the New York Port Authority.
Q. HOW WILL YOU MANAGE THE FUND
GOING FORWARD?
A. There's a lot of uncertainty about which direction the economy,
inflation and interest rates will go. Additionally, New York state and New
York City face some economic and fiscal challenges in 1995. However, the
prices of New York City bonds have become relatively attractive because of
rising concerns about a reduction of state aid to the city. In my view, New
York City bonds may present an attractive buying opportunity going forward
because the worst news for the city may already be factored into bond
prices. As for interest rates, I believe that the worst is over. While the
Fed may be close to the end of the cycle of raising interest rates, there
could be some continued volatility in the bond market. To guard against
that volatility, I'll most likely keep the fund's duration more neutral, or
more in line with the market as a whole. Also, I'll concentrate on finding
individual municipal bonds or sectors that I think can outperform the
overall market. In particular, I'll look for the types of bonds I think
many investors will want to own in the future. One example may be
non-callable bonds. If the supply of these bonds stays low and if they gain
wider acceptance among investors, their prices could benefit.

NORM LIND ON THE NEW YORK
MUNICIPAL MARKET:
" In 1995, I'll be watching for
several developments. One is
the fiscal and economic
condition of the state and New
York City. The downsizing of
Wall Street could cause
revenues, for both the city
and state, to decline slightly.
Also, the state is facing a
substantial budget deficit and
has cut aid to New York City.
But we won't know what the
impact of those factors will be
until later this year when the
state and city finalize their
budgets and propose
measures to deal with some
of these challenges. On a
more positive note, the supply
of New York bonds could be
lower in 1995 than it was in
1994. That lower supply could
help firm the prices of New
York municipal bonds if
demand stays constant or
rises."

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 to measure performance. If Fidelity
had not reimbursed certain fund expenses during the periods shown, the
total returns, dividends, and yields would have been lower.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1995 PAST 1 LIFE OF
YEAR FUND
Spartan New York Intermediate Municipal -3.23% -2.04%
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index -3.56% n/a
Average New York Intermediate
Municipal Bond Fund -2.42% n/a
Consumer Price Index 2.80% 3.09%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS reflect actual performance over a specific period
- - in this case, one year 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 intermediate
municipal bond fund, which currently reflects the performance of 18 New
York 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 numbers are the closest available match to that covered by the
fund.)
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS

Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index -3.56% n/a
Average New York Intermediate
Municipal Bond Fund -2.42% n/a
Consumer Price Index 2.80% 2.83%
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.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Spartan New
York Intermediate Municipal Portfolio on December 31, 1993, shortly after
the fund started. As the chart shows, by January 31, 1995, the value of
your investment would have grown to $9,786- a -2.14% decrease on your
initial investment. This assumes you still own the fund on January 31, 1995
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 $9,757 - a -2.43% decrease.
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. 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 $9.18 over
the past month, $9.25 over the past six months, and $9.42 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 43.92% combined effective 1995 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 5.07% and 9.04%, respectively.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Although there was a municipal
bond market rally beginning in
mid-November, sharply rising
interest rates caused a significant
downturn in all U.S. bond markets
in the 12 months ended January
31, 1995. Yields rose sharply -
and prices fell - on both taxable
and tax-free bonds. For the 12
months ended January 31, 1995,
the Lehman Brothers Municipal
Bond Index - a broad measure
of the tax-free market - had a
total return of -3.56%. By
comparison, the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index
- - a proxy of investment-grade
taxable bonds - returned
- -2.31%. The Federal Reserve
Board raised the federal funds
rate - the rate banks charge
each other for overnight loans -
from 3.00% to 5.50% from
February through November. The
Fed was hoping to head off future
inflation that might be triggered by
an improving U.S. economy. The
supply of new municipal issues
dropped through most of the year,
as municipalities avoided issuing
bonds at ever higher rates.
However, the pace of interest rate
increases - which led to drops in
the value of bonds -
overshadowed the benefits of
lower supply. Investor demand
dropped due to inflation fears,
further dampening prices. The
late-year rally was sparked by
increased demand and continued
short supply of muni issues.
An interview with David Murphy, Portfolio Manager of Spartan New York
Intermediate Municipal Portfolio
Q. DAVID, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. Much of the past 12 months were a particularly tough time for municipal
bond funds, and this fund was no exception. For the year ended January 31,
1995, the fund's total return was -3.23%. That lagged the average New York
intermediate municipal bond fund, which returned -2.42% for the same
period, according to Lipper Analytical Services.
Q. WHAT FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO THE DECLINE IN BOND PRICES?
A. There's definitely a lot to the story. Until February 1994, short-term
interest rates had remained low for several years. That enticed many
investors to use leverage, or borrowed money, to make what essentially
amounted to a bet that short-term interest rates would continue to stay low
and long-term interest rates would fall. However, when the Federal Reserve
Board started raising short-term interest rates in February, those
investors found themselves on the wrong side of the bet and were forced to
liquidate their bond holdings to pay back borrowed money. The selling, or
unwinding, of those positions put additional downward pressure on bond
prices. Other factors - like the dollar's weakness - also contributed to
the market's decline.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND LAG MANY OF ITS COMPETITORS?
A. Mostly because of its longer-than-average duration. Duration measures
how sensitive the fund's share price is to changes in interest rates.
Because the fund had a relatively long duration, its share price fell more
than other similar funds with shorter durations. Entering 1994, my outlook
was that interest rates would rise slightly, and that bond prices would
fall somewhat for a short period of time. But because there weren't any
signs that inflation was spiraling out of control, I didn't believe the Fed
would be inclined to raise interest rates more than a half percentage point
or so. As a result, I felt that bond prices could stabilize and then rise
later in 1994. In that type of environment, having a long duration could
have helped the fund's performance. I continued to maintain that outlook
through the spring. In the fall of 1994, I started to shorten the fund's
duration, bringing it more in line with many of its competitors.
Q. HOW HAVE YOU ALLOCATED THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS AMONG VARIOUS SECTORS?
A. Resource recovery bonds, which help finance trash burning plants, were
the fund's largest sector concentration at the end of the period, totaling
18.6% of investments. I bought many of these bonds at a time when they were
cheap because investors were afraid that increased competition from other
waste disposal operations would hurt the prospects for resource recovery
plants. Investors were worried because the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that
municipalities couldn't force garbage haulers to use trash burning plants
instead of landfills for waste disposal. However, the fund's resource
recovery holdings are located in areas where it is cheaper to send garbage
to resource recovery plants, rather than to landfills. In addition,
transportation bonds made up 16.9% of the fund's investments at the end of
January. I have invested in these issues because they have consistent
revenues and fairly stable cash flow.
Q. WHAT ACCOUNTS FOR THE FUND'S STAKE IN LEASE REVENUE BONDS?
A. The largest component of the fund's stake in lease revenue bonds is made
up of New York state-appropriated bonds, which rely on annual
appropriations by the state legislature to make principal and interest
payments. These bonds did relatively well during 1994. So did New York City
bonds, which make up a large part of the fund's stake in local general
obligation (GO) bonds. However, I'm concerned about the slowdown in New
York City's economy and cutbacks in aid to the city from the state. As a
result, I have recently reduced the fund's stake in New York City bonds.
Q. DOES 1995 LOOK MORE POSITIVE FOR THE MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET?
A. I think the Federal Reserve will probably hike interest rates one or two
more times, which probably will have more of an impact on short-term bond
prices than long-term bond prices. It appears that the municipal market is
starting to anticipate that we're nearing the end of the Fed's actions to
raise interest rates. What's more, fixed income investments - with their
relatively high current yields - are beginning to look fairly attractive
compared to other investments. I believe that these yields could help
attract investors, which ultimately could benefit the municipal market.

DAVID MURPHY'S STRATEGY:
"During the fall of 1994, I used
a strategy known as
barbelling. If you picture a
barbell, the ends are heavy
and the middle is light. On one
end of the barbell, I bought
bonds with maturities of 15
years or longer and balanced
them on the other end with
securities that matured in less
than one year. Many
municipal bond investors
seemed to expect the Federal
Reserve Board to raise
short-term interest rates
higher, which it did. As a
result, bonds with maturities
between two and 10 years
didn't do as well as either
shorter-term or longer-term
bonds. But now that there is
some evidence that the
economy is slowing and we
may be near the end of the
Fed's actions to raise interest
rates, I've started to unwind
that barbell and use a strategy
known as bulleting. That
means I'm concentrating
more of the fund's
investments in bonds with
maturities between eight and
10 years. Currently, the yield
curve, or the difference in
yields between bonds with
various maturities, is relatively
flat and there isn't much
difference in yield between an
intermediate bond and a
long-term bond. As a result,
the incremental yield of
longer-term bonds does not
provide much of an incentive
to take on the added interest
rate risk that accompanies
their longer maturities."

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 and yields would have been lower.

Consumer Price Index 2.80% 17.97%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS reflect actual performance over a specific period
- - in this case, 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. 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. Comparing the fund's performance to the consumer price index
(CPI) helps show how your investment did compared to inflation. (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 1995 federal, state and New York City income tax rate of
43.92%. 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 Jan Bradburn, Portfolio Manager of Spartan
New York Municipal Money Market Portfolio
Q. JAN, MONEY MARKET INTEREST RATES HAVE RISEN DRAMATICALLY OVER THE PAST
YEAR. CAN YOU BRING US UP TO DATE?
A. Sure. A year ago, the federal funds rate - what banks charge each other
for overnight loans - was at 3%, where it had been for some time. Then on
February 4, 1994, the Federal Reserve made a preemptive strike against
inflation, raising the federal funds rate one-quarter percentage point to
3.25%. I use the word preemptive because at the time there was very little
concrete evidence of inflation; only what seemed - to the Fed, at least -
to be a growing threat. Two more quarter-point increases followed in March
and April, two half-point increases in May and August, and finally a
three-quarter-point increase in November. The federal funds rate ended the
period at 5.50%. I should point out that on February 1, 1995 - one day
after the period ended - the Fed raised the federal funds rate another
one-half percentage point to 6.00%.
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY IN THE FACE OF RISING RATES?
A. Ordinarily when rates are rising, I try to shorten the fund's average
maturity. That way as the fund's securities roll over, I can replace them
with higher-yielding securities and seek to keep pace with rising rates. In
a nutshell, that was my strategy during most of 1994. In January 1994, at
the beginning of the period. the fund's average maturity was around 60
days. I let it roll down to around 50 days by the end of February, and on
down into the 40s by mid-summer. One way I did that was by adding variable
rate demand notes. VRDNs have rates that reset at daily, weekly or monthly
intervals. Then as New York entered its annual borrowing season and the
heavy supply of new issues propped up rates, I extended the fund slightly
out past 50 days in August. Since then I've let it roll back into the
mid-40s, and kept it there during the final months of the period. By the
end of January 1995, the fund's average maturity was 41 days.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. On January 31, 1995, the fund's seven-day yield was 3.30%, compared to
1.90% a year earlier, reflecting the dramatic rise in short-term interest
rates during the period. The fund's latest yield was the equivalent of a
5.88% taxable yield for New York investors in the 43.92% combined state and
federal tax bracket. The fund's total return for the year ended January 31,
1995 was 2.56%. That beat the average total return of 2.28% for all New
York tax-free money market funds during the same period, according to
IBC/Donoghue.
Q. WHAT CAN WE EXPECT IN THE MONTHS AHEAD?
A. Some observers believe that short-term rates are likely to move still
higher in the months ahead, despite the fact that inflation has so far
remained modest. The lesson we all learned last year is that the Fed is
determined to stifle inflation before it becomes a problem. Therefore, as
long as the economic growth rate remains above the Fed's target rate of
2.5%, we can probably expect the federal funds rate to keep rising. With
that in mind, I'll likely try to keep the fund's average maturity in the
neutral to defensive range - or around 40 to 50 days - for the foreseeable
future.

WORDS TO KNOW
COMMERCIAL PAPER: A security
issued by a municipality to
finance capital or operating
needs.
FEDERAL FUNDS RATE: The interest
rate banks charge each other
for overnight loans.
MATURITY: The time remaining
before an issuer is scheduled
to repay the principal amount
on a debt security. When the
fund's average maturity -
weighted by dollar amount -
is short, the fund manager is
anticipating a rise in interest
rates. When the average
maturity is long, the manager
is expecting rates to fall.
When the average maturity is
neutral, the manager wants
the flexibility to respond to
rising rates, while still
capturing a portion of the
higher yields available from
issues with longer maturities.
MUNICIPAL NOTE: A security
issued in advance of future
tax or other revenues and
payable from those specific
sources.
TENDER BOND: A variable-rate,
long-term security that gives
the bond holder the option to
redeem the bond at face
value before maturity.
VARIABLE RATE DEMAND NOTE
(VRDN): A tender bond that
can be redeemed on short
notice, typically one or seven
days. VRDNs are useful in
managing the fund's average
maturity and liquidity.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended January 31, 1995
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. Effective March 20, 1994,
Spartan New York Municipal Money Market Portfolio (the money market fund)
converted from a separate series of Fidelity New York Municipal Trust, to a
separate series of Fidelity New York Municipal Trust II. The individual
investment objective, policies and limitations of the money market fund
remain the same. 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 intermediate fund, and the
money market fund (the funds):
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 of their purchase date 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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
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, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for futures
and options transactions, and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise
tax regulations.
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. 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 intermediate funds may
use futures and options contracts to manage their exposure to the bond
market and to fluctuations in interest rates. Buying futures, writing puts,
and buying calls tend to increase the funds' exposure to the underlying
instrument. Selling futures, buying puts, and writing calls tend to
decrease the funds' exposure to the underlying instrument, or hedge other
fund investments. Futures contracts and written options involve, to varying
degrees, risk of loss in excess of the futures variation margin or the
option value reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The
underlying face amount at value is shown in the schedule of investments
under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's
exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from
changes in the value of the underlying instruments, if there is an illiquid
secondary market for the contracts, or if the counterparties do not perform
under the contracts' terms.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Exchange-traded
options 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.
2. OPERATING POLICIES -
CONTINUED
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Each fund is permitted to invest in privately placed
restricted securities. These securities may be resold in transactions
exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and
expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. At the
end of the period, restricted securities (excluding 144A issues) amounted
to $300,000, $375,000, and $6,200,000 or 0.1%, 1.1%, and 1.1% of net assets
for the high yield, intermediate, and money market funds, respectively.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF
INVESTMENTS.
HIGH YIELD FUND. Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term
securities, aggregated $127,950,799 and $230,082,620, respectively. The
market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the period
amounted to $582,717,170 and $581,843,796, respectively.
INTERMEDIATE FUND. Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term
securities, aggregated $32,439,127 and $7,487,574, respectively. The market
value of futures contracts opened and closed during the period amounted to
$32,257,662 and $32,066,912, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As each fund's investment adviser, Fidelity Management &
Research Company (FMR) pays all expenses, including the cost of providing
shareholder services, 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.
To offset the cost of providing shareholder services, FMR or its affiliates
collect certain transaction fees from the funds' shareholders. For the
period, fees collected from the shareholders amounted to $10,165, $1,394
and $13,160 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.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse the intermediate fund's operating
expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and
extraordinary expenses) above a specified percentage of average net assets.
During the period, this expense limitation ranged from 0% to .10% of
average net assets and the reimbursement reduced expenses by $145,536.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity New York Municipal Trust and Fidelity New York
Municipal Trust II and the Shareholders of Spartan New York Municipal High
Yield Portfolio, Spartan New York Intermediate Municipal Portfolio, and
Spartan New York Municipal Money Market Portfolio:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedules of investments (except for Moody's and Standard &
Poor's ratings) and the related statements of operations and of changes in
net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Spartan New York Municipal High Yield
Portfolio, Spartan New York Intermediate Municipal Portfolio, and Spartan
New York Municipal Money Market Portfolio at January 31, 1995, the results
of each of their operations for the year then ended and the changes in each
of their net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the responsibility of the each portfolio's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at January 31,
1995 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and the application
of alternative auditing procedures where confirmations from brokers were
not received, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although there have been a few positive market indications so far in 1995,
no one can predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted
below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This
downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was generally
very positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
Keeping in mind that the effects of interest rate changes on your bond
investments will only be "paper" gains or losses unless you sell your
shares, staying in your bond fund may be appropriate if your investment
horizon is at least a year or more. The longer your investing time frame,
the more likely it is that you will retain your principal investment
through both up and down markets. For example, a 10-year time frame, such
as saving for a college education, enables you to weather these ups and
downs in a long-term fund, which has higher potential returns. An
intermediate-length fund could be appropriate if your investment horizon is
two to four years, and a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if
you need your money in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving
some of your bond investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
No matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes
good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain amount
of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We stand ready
to provide the information you need to make the investments that are right
for you.

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 to
measure performance. 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 JANUARY 31, 1995 PAST 1 PAST 5 PAST 10
YEAR YEARS YEARS
New York Tax-Free High Yield -5.78% 40.30% 122.63%
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index -3.56% 44.07% 140.51%
Average New York Municipal Bond Fund -5.93% 41.62% 124.48%
Consumer Price Index 2.80% 17.97% 42.46%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS reflect actual performance over a specific period
- - in this case, 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
currently reflects the performance of 69 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 (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 10 YEARS: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity New York
Tax-Free High Yield Portfolio ten years ago on January 31, 1985. As the
chart shows, by January 31, 1995, the value of your investment would have
grown to $22,263 - a 122.63% 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 $24,051 - a 140.51% 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.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Although there was a municipal
bond market rally beginning in
mid-November, sharply rising
interest rates caused a significant
downturn in all U.S. bond markets
in the 12 months ended January
31, 1995. Yields rose sharply -
and prices fell - on both taxable
and tax-free bonds. For the 12
months ended January 31, 1995,
the Lehman Brothers Municipal
Bond Index - a broad measure
of the tax-free market - had a
total return of -3.56%. By
comparison, the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index
- - a proxy of investment-grade
taxable bonds - returned
- -2.31%. The Federal Reserve
Board raised the federal funds
rate - the rate banks charge
each other for overnight loans -
from 3.00% to 5.50% from
February through November. The
Fed was hoping to head off future
inflation that might be triggered by
an improving U.S. economy. The
supply of new municipal issues
dropped through most of the year,
as municipalities avoided issuing
bonds at ever higher rates.
However, the pace of interest rate
increases - which led to drops in
the value of bonds -
overshadowed the benefits of
lower supply. Investor demand
dropped due to inflation fears,
further dampening prices. The
late-year rally was sparked by
increased demand and continued
short supply of muni issues.
An interview with Norman Lind,
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
New York Tax-Free High Yield
Portfolio
Q. NORM, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. Rising interest rates and fears of inflation helped make 1994 one of the
worst years on record for bonds, and the fund's performance reflected that.
For the year ended January 31, 1995, the fund had a total return of -5.78%.
That compared to the average New York municipal bond fund, which returned
- -5.93% for the same period, according to Lipper Analytical Services.
Q. HOW DID THE NEW YORK MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET PERFORM?
A. It suffered along with the national market in the first half, but lagged
the national market during part of the second half of the year. The reason
for that was an abundance of New York municipal bonds, which put additional
pressure on their prices. Concerns about the outcome of the state and New
York City elections also didn't help. But by the end of the year, a slight
shortage of New York bonds occurred, and their prices started to firm.
Another event which hurt the entire municipal market occurred when Orange
County, California, declared bankruptcy in December because of losses
stemming from its investments. But no similar situation cropped up in New
York. After careful review, we are comfortable that from what we know
presently, none of the fund's holdings are susceptible to bankruptcy
because of losses from investments.
Q. WHAT ACCOUNTS FOR THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. The fund owned certain types of bonds which underperformed the market
throughout much of the period. The bonds I'm referring to included
non-callable and discount bonds. Non-callable bonds, which can't be
redeemed by their issuer before a scheduled maturity date, and discount
bonds, which sell below face value, are more sensitive to rising interest
rates than other types of bonds. As a result, these bonds commanded a high
price and did very well when interest rates fell in 1993, but fell out of
favor and underperformed when rates rose in 1994. From November through the
end of January, however, the bond market rallied, bringing these bonds back
into favor and helping the fund's performance. Going forward, there may be
limited supply of these bonds available, which could help their prices if
they continue to be favored among investors.
Q. WHAT CHANGES DID YOU MAKE TO THE FUND'S HOLDINGS?
A. Transportation bonds made up the fund's largest sector concentration at
26.4% at the end of the period. I like them in part because of their strong
credit fundamentals. These issues are backed by tolls and other fees and,
as a result, their fiscal situation tends to be fairly resilient in any
type of economic climate. Two of the fund's largest holdings in this area
at the end of the period were Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority and
the New York Port Authority. I reduced the fund's stake in New York City
bonds toward the end of 1994. These bonds did relatively well earlier in
the year, but I have some concerns about the city's economy and fiscal
budget. Also, I continued to pare back the fund's stake in
state-appropriated bonds, which rely on annual appropriations by the state
legislature to meet all or part of their principal and interest payments. I
began selling in mid- to late 1994 because I felt that most of the
advantages of holding these bonds had already been played out and I wanted
to take advantage of strong demand for these bonds when I sold them.
Q. WHAT'S AHEAD FOR THE FUND?
A. There's some uncertainty about which direction the economy, inflation
and interest rates will go. Additionally, New York state and New York City
face some economic and fiscal challenges in 1995. However, the prices of
New York City bonds have become relatively attractive because of rising
concerns about a reduction of state aid to the city. In my view, New York
City bonds may present an attractive buying opportunity going forward
because the worst news for the city may already be factored into bond
prices. As for interest rates, I believe that the worst is over. While the
Fed may be close to the end of the cycle of raising interest rates, there
could be some continued volatility in the bond market. To guard against
that volatility, I'll most likely keep the fund's duration more neutral, or
more in line with the market as a whole. Also, I'll concentrate on finding
individual municipal bonds or sectors that I think can outperform the
overall market. In particular, I'll look for the types of bonds I think
many investors will want to own in the future.

NORM LIND ON THE NEW YORK
MUNICIPAL MARKET:
"In 1995, I'll be watching for
several developments. One is
the fiscal and economic
condition of the state and New
York City. The downsizing of
Wall Street could cause
revenues, for both the city
and state, to decline slightly.
Also, the state is facing a
substantial budget deficit and
has cut aid to New York City.
But we won't know what the
impact of those factors will be
until later this year when the
state and city finalize their
budgets and propose
measures to deal with some
of these challenges. On a
more positive note, the supply
of New York bonds is
expected to be lower in 1995
than it was in 1994. That
lower supply could help firm
the prices of New York
municipal bonds if demand
stays constant or rises."

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 to
measure performance. 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 JANUARY 31, 1995 PAST 1 PAST 5 LIFE OF
YEAR YEARS FUND
New York Tax-Free Insured -5.48% 40.35% 100.62%
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index -3.56% 44.07% n/a
Average New York Insured
Municipal Bond Fund -4.53% 41.92% n/a
Consumer Price Index 2.80% 17.97% 38.78%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS reflect actual performance over a specific period
- - in this case, 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 currently reflects the performance of 7 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 January 31, 1995, the value of your
investment would have grown to $20,011 - a 100.11% 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 $22,154 - a 121.54% 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.

FIDELITY NEW YORK TAX-FREE INSURED PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Although there was a municipal
bond market rally beginning in
mid-November, sharply rising
interest rates caused a significant
downturn in all U.S. bond markets
in the 12 months ended January
31, 1995. Yields rose sharply -
and prices fell - on both taxable
and tax-free bonds. For the 12
months ended January 31, 1995,
the Lehman Brothers Municipal
Bond Index - a broad measure
of the tax-free market - had a
total return of -3.56%. By
comparison, the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index
- - a proxy of investment-grade
taxable bonds - returned
- -2.31%. The Federal Reserve
Board raised the federal funds
rate - the rate banks charge
each other for overnight loans -
from 3.00% to 5.50% from
February through November. The
Fed was hoping to head off future
inflation that might be triggered by
an improving U.S. economy. The
supply of new municipal issues
dropped through most of the year,
as municipalities avoided issuing
bonds at ever higher rates.
However, the pace of interest rate
increases - which led to drops in
the value of bonds -
overshadowed the benefits of
lower supply. Investor demand
dropped due to inflation fears,
further dampening prices. The
late-year rally was sparked by
increased demand and continued
short supply of muni issues.
An interview with Norman Lind,
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
New York Tax-Free Insured Portfolio
Q. NORM, HOW DID THE FUND DO OVER THE PAST 12 MONTHS?
A. It was a difficult period for municipal bond funds, including this fund.
For the year ended January 31, 1995, the fund had a total return of -5.48%.
That compares to the average New York insured municipal bond fund, which
returned -4.53% for the same period, according to Lipper Analytical
Services.
Q. WHAT FACTORS - OTHER THAN FEARS OF INFLATION AND RISING INTEREST RATES
THAT HURT THE MUNICIPAL MARKET AS A WHOLE - CONTRIBUTED TO THE DECLINE IN
INSURED BOND PRICES?
A. It's important to remember that just because a bond is insured, it
doesn't mean it's immune to price declines. When a bond is insured it means
that its principal and interest payments are guaranteed by the agency that
underwrites the insurance. Insured bonds are among the most liquid, or
easily traded, types of municipal bonds. Investors, wanting to sell when
interest rates rose, found insured bonds the easiest to rid themselves of
because of this liquidity. As a result, these bonds generally fell more
than uninsured bonds when interest rates were rising, as they were during
most of 1994. However, by the end of 1994, insured bonds actually started
to do better than uninsured bonds.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE LAG THE AVERAGE NEW YORK INSURED FUND?
A. Through much of the period, the fund had a duration that was longer than
many other funds of its type. Duration measures how sensitive a fund's
share price is to changes in interest rates. The longer the duration, the
more the share price will fall when interest rates rise. Early in 1994, my
view was that inflation would remain moderate and as a result, the Federal
Reserve Board wouldn't be inclined to raise interest rates much. It's true
that the current rate of inflation has stayed low, but the Fed kept raising
interest rates to stave off any future threat of inflation. Beginning in
mid-year, I modified my strategy to compensate for any further Fed actions.
Q. WHAT STEPS DID YOU TAKE TO ACCOMPLISH THAT?
A. I used several strategies. First, I sold some longer-term bonds - those
with maturities of 20 years or longer. Second, I sold bond futures
contracts, which also helped temper the fund's duration. A futures contract
is an agreement to buy or sell a specific number of bonds at a particular
price on a specified future date. When the market did fall, the price of
the futures contracts rose and offset some of the price declines for the
bonds I held in the fund.
Q. IN TERMS OF SPECIFIC TYPES OF BONDS, WHAT CHOICES DID YOU MAKE?
A. Transportation bonds - at 21.8% of investments at the end of the period
- - continued to make up the fund's largest sector concentration. Because
these bonds are backed by tolls and other fees, their fiscal situation
tends to be fairly resilient, regardless of the economic climate. Water and
sewer bonds - at 20.8% of investments at the end of the period - were the
fund's second largest sector concentration, as they were six months ago.
But I did make some changes. I cut back the fund's stake in
state-appropriated bonds, which rely on annual appropriations by the state
legislature to meet all or part of their principal and interest payments. I
sold some partly because I expect the state will face some tough economic
and fiscal challenges in 1995. Also, I felt that these bonds had become
relatively expensive and that most of the advantages of holding them was
behind us.
Q. WHAT'S AHEAD FOR NEW YORK MUNICIPAL BONDS?
A. There are a couple of factors that most likely will shape the outlook
for New York municipal bonds in 1995. The state and New York City will have
to be aggressive in cutting their budgets to compensate for declining
revenues. We won't know how they plan to accomplish that until they issue
their budgets in the spring. However, a positive is that I expect there to
be a limited supply of New York bonds available in 1995. Lower supply and
constant or rising demand could help boost New York bond prices.

NORM LIND'S STRATEGY:
"I believe that we're nearing
the end of the cycle of rising
interest rates. But until there
are definitive signs about the
direction the of economy,
inflation and interest rates,
we're likely to see more
volatility in the municipal bond
market. As a result, I'll more
likely remain defensive and
keep the fund's duration
neutral, or more in line with
the market as a whole. Also,
I'll attempt to find individual
bonds or sectors that I think
can outperform the overall
market. One way I'll do that is
by investing a portion of the
fund in investment-grade
uninsured bonds that will help
add income to the fund. I'll
also look for the types of
bonds that I think many
investors will want to own in
the future. An example is
non-callable bonds, which
can't be redeemed by their
issuers before their scheduled
maturities."
(solid bullet) Investment-grade
uninsured bonds made up
21.2% of the fund's
investments at the end of the
period. These bonds are
attractive, in part, because
they usually offer higher
yields than insured bonds.
(solid bullet) The manager, using careful
research, attempts to identify
uninsured issues with strong
credit fundamentals.

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.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS reflect actual performance over a specific period
- - in this case, 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. 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.
Comparing the fund's performance to the consumer price index (CPI) helps
show how your investment did compared to inflation. (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 tax-free money market fund. Or you can
look at the fund's tax-equivalent yield, which is based on a combined
effective 1995 federal, state and New York City income tax rate of 43.92%.
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
portion of the fund's income may be subject to the alternative minimum tax.
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.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Jan Bradburn,
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity New
York Tax-Free Money Market Portfolio
Q. JAN, MONEY MARKET INTEREST RATES HAVE RISEN DRAMATICALLY OVER THE PAST
YEAR. CAN YOU BRING US UP TO DATE?
A. Sure. A year ago, the federal funds rate - what banks charge each other
for overnight loans - was at 3%, where it had been for some time. Then on
February 4, 1994, the Federal Reserve made a preemptive strike against
inflation, raising the federal funds rate one-quarter percentage point to
3.25%. I use the word preemptive because at the time there was very little
concrete evidence of inflation; only what seemed - to the Fed, at least -
to be a growing threat. Two more quarter-point increases followed in March
and April, two half-point increases in May and August, and finally a
three-quarter-point increase in November. The federal funds rate ended the
period at 5.50%. I should point out that on February 1, 1995 - one day
after the period ended - the Fed raised the federal funds rate another
one-half percentage point to 6.00%.
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY IN THE FACE OF RISING RATES?
A. Ordinarily when rates are rising, I try to shorten the fund's average
maturity. That way as the fund's securities roll over, I can replace them
with higher-yielding securities and seek to keep pace with rising rates. In
a nutshell, that was my strategy during most of 1994. In January 1994, at
the beginning of the period. the fund's average maturity was around 60
days. I let it roll down to around 50 days by the end of February, and on
down into the 40s by mid-summer. One way I did that was by adding variable
rate demand notes. VRDNs have rates that reset at daily, weekly or monthly
intervals. Then as New York entered its annual borrowing season and the
heavy supply of new issues propped up rates, I extended the fund slightly
out past 50 days in August. Since then I've let it roll back into the
mid-40s, and kept it there during the final months of the period. By the
end of January 1995, the fund's average maturity was 42 days.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. On January 31, 1995, the fund's seven-day yield was 3.20%, compared to
1.82% a year ago, reflecting the dramatic rise in short-term interest rates
during the period. The latest yield is the equivalent of a 5.71% taxable
yield for New York investors in the 43.92% combined federal, state and New
York City tax bracket. The fund's total return for the year ended January
31, 1995 was 2.44%. That beat the average total return of 2.28% for all New
York tax-free money market funds during the same period, according to
IBC/Donoghue.
Q. WHAT CAN WE EXPECT IN THE MONTHS AHEAD?
A. Some observers believe that short-term rates are likely to move still
higher in the months ahead, despite the fact that inflation has so far
remained modest. The lesson we all learned last year is that the Fed is
determined to stifle inflation before it becomes a problem. Therefore, as
long as the economic growth rate remains above the Fed's target rate of
2.5%, we can probably expect the federal funds rate to keep rising. With
that in mind, I'll likely try to keep the fund's average maturity in the
neutral to defensive range - or around 40 to 50 days - for the foreseeable
future.

WORDS TO KNOW
COMMERCIAL PAPER: A security
issued by a municipality to
finance capital or operating
needs.
FEDERAL FUNDS RATE: The interest
rate banks charge each other
for overnight loans.
MATURITY: The time remaining
before an issuer is scheduled
to repay the principal amount
on a debt security. When the
fund's average maturity -
weighted by dollar amount -
is short, the fund manager is
anticipating a rise in interest
rates. When the average
maturity is long, the manager
is expecting rates to fall.
When the average maturity is
neutral, the manager wants
the flexibility to respond to
rising rates, while still
capturing a portion of the
higher yields available from
issues with longer maturities.
MUNICIPAL NOTE: A security
issued in advance of future
tax or other revenues and
payable from those specific
sources.
TENDER BOND: A variable-rate,
long-term security that gives
the bond holder the option to
redeem the bond at face
value before maturity.
VARIABLE RATE DEMAND NOTE
(VRDN): A tender bond that
can be redeemed on short
notice, typically one or seven
days. VRDNs are useful in
managing the fund's average
maturity and liquidity.

For the period ended January 31, 1995
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, insured fund and
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 of their purchase date 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
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -
CONTINUED
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for futures
and options transactions, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards,
expiring capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales,
futures and options and excise tax regulations. The high yield and insured
funds also utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on
redemption of shares as a 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.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. The high yield and insured funds may use
futures and options contracts to manage its exposure to the bond market and
to fluctuations in interest rates. Buying futures, writing puts, and buying
calls tend to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument.
Selling futures, buying puts, and writing calls tend to decrease the fund's
exposure to the underlying instrument, or hedge other fund investments.
Futures contracts and written options involve, to varying degrees, risk of
loss in excess of the futures variation margin or the option value
reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face
amount at value is shown in the schedules of investments under the caption
"Futures Contracts". This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the
underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the
value of the underlying instruments, if there is an illiquid secondary
market for the contracts, or if the counterparties do not perform under the
contracts' terms.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Exchange-traded
options 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.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Each fund is permitted to invest in privately placed
restricted securities. These securities may be resold in transactions
exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and
expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. At the
end of the period, restricted securities (excluding 144A issues) amounted
to $5,962,500 or 1.5% of net assets for the high yield fund and $14,205,000
or 1.9% of net assets for the money market fund.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF
INVESTMENTS.
HIGH YIELD FUND. Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term
securities, aggregated $137,454,967 and $188,369,315, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the period
amounted to $656,337,822 and $642,124,389, respectively.
INSURED FUND. Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term
securities, aggregated $138,490,817 and $206,255,678, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the period
amounted to $583,068,332 and $573,944,663, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As each fund's investment adviser, Fidelity Management &
Research Company (FMR) receives a monthly 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 and is based on the monthly average net assets
of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .1325% to
.3700% for the period February 1, 1994 to July 31, 1994 and .1200% to
.3700% for the period August 1, 1994 to January 31, 1995. In the event that
these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during those
periods, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted in
the same or a lower management fee. 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 high yield, insured 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.
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 $3,288, $3,836
and $83,388 for the high yield, insured and money market funds,
respectively, for the period.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
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 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
$454,671 and $181,774 for the high yield fund, $375,731 and $149,305 for
the insured fund and $1,058,948 and $120,897 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 $93,880.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity New York Municipal Trust and Fidelity New York
Municipal Trust II and the Shareholders of Fidelity New York Tax-Free High
Yield Portfolio, Fidelity New York Tax-Free Insured Portfolio and Fidelity
New York Tax-Free Money Market Portfolio:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedules of investments (except for Moody's and Standard &
Poor's ratings), and the related statements of operations and of changes in
net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Fidelity New York Tax-Free High Yield
Portfolio and Fidelity New York Tax-Free Insured Portfolio (funds of
Fidelity New York Municipal Trust) and Fidelity New York Tax-Free Money
Market Portfolio (a fund of Fidelity New York Municipal Trust II) at
January 31, 1995, the results of each of their operations for the year then
ended, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights
for the periods indicated in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter
referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the
Fidelity New York Municipal Trust and Fidelity New York Municipal Trust
II's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included
confirmation of securities at January 31, 1995 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers and the application of alternative auditing
procedures where confirmations from brokers were not received, provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

services for quotes and balances. The services are easy to use,
confidential and quick. All you need is a Touch Tone telephone.
YOUR PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
(PIN)
The first time you call one of our automated telephone services, we'll ask
you
to set up your Personal Identification
Number (PIN). The PIN assures that
only you have automated telephone
access to your account information.
Please have your Customer Number
(T-account #) handy when you call --
you'll need it to establish your PIN. If
you would ever like to change your PIN, just choose the "Change your
Personal
Identification Number" option when
you call. If you forget your PIN, please
call a Fidelity representative at 1-800-
544-6666 for assistance.
