PAINEWEBBER TAX-FREE BOND FUNDS                                SEMIANNUAL REPORT



                                                            October 15, 1999
Dear Shareholder,

We are pleased to present you with the semiannual report for the PaineWebber
California Tax-Free Income Fund, PaineWebber National Tax-Free Income Fund,
PaineWebber Municipal High Income Fund and PaineWebber New York Tax-Free Income
Fund for the six-month period ended August 31, 1999.

MARKET REVIEW
================================================================================
[GRAPHIC]

The six-month period was a cautious time for municipal investors as the effects
of rising interest rates worked their way through the markets. Amid fears of
returning inflation, the Federal Reserve increased short-term rates twice, 0.25%
on the last day of June and 0.25% again in August, in an attempt to cool what it
saw as a potentially overheating economy. Overall rates rose accordingly, and
the long Treasury bond's yield rose to 6.06% by period-end.

The other big story in the third quarter was Y2K. Fears of computer malfunctions
and uncertainty about what will occur on January 1 led many issuers to bring new
bonds to market in the third quarter rather than the fourth, before Y2K issues
moved to the forefront of investors' minds. The surge of issuance created an
oversupply of municipal bonds, which, combined with higher interest rates,
brought bond prices down during the quarter. A secondary effect of upcoming Y2K
concerns was the decision of many bond fund managers to raise cash in
anticipation of year-end liquidity needs. While we are unsure exactly what
impact "Year 2000" will have on the markets, we believe our portfolios are well
positioned to meet our liquidity needs and that we are invested in those issuers
best prepared for the turnover from 1999 to 2000.

OUTLOOK

Municipal investors remain wary of yet another 25 basis point increase before
year-end, which would effectively undo the 75 basis points of credit easing
undertaken in 1998. While the Federal Reserve's moves to inhibit inflation have
had a negative effect on the municipal market in the short term, we expect this
policy to have beneficial long-term effects. The domestic economy continues to
grow faster than expectations while keeping inflation fairly well in check. As
long as the markets anticipate Fed moves, the countering of slightly increasing
price pressures with slightly tighter money supply should prove benign for
municipal bonds.

Regardless of whether we see another increase in short-term rates before year-
end, municipal bond yields remain historically high compared to U.S. Treasury
yields, at approximately 93% of corresponding U.S.

                                                                               1

Treasurys. The historical 5-year average yield is about 85% of Treasurys, which
points out that municipals are now cheap relative to Treasurys. Excess supply
and Y2K-related liquidity premiums are partly responsible. Another constraining
factor is that the municipal market is now more closely tied to the "spread"
markets such as corporate bonds -- crossover buyers that move between both
markets have recently been shifting out of the municipal market and therefore
are keeping municipal prices lower.

The Fund's total return consists of the change in net asset value with any
dividends reinvested. For shareowners who purchased or redeemed Fund shares
during the period, the Fund's total return may be lower because of applicable
sales charges. Class Y shares are not subject to sales charges.

HIGHLIGHTS

     During the period we were able to capitalize on several inefficiencies in
structure spreads. As a result of our analysis we executed several swaps whereby
we took advantage of theoretical rich levels in premium structures and the
relative cheapness in par structures. As more "normal" spreads returned to the
market we reversed these trades, selling expensive par structures and buying
relatively cheaper premium bonds.

     In recent swaps we bought bonds for California Educational Facilities
Authority -- University of Southern California (0.9%) and Fresno Unified School
District (1.4%). The Fresno deal featured a unique, 60-day extended trade
settlement date for which we were overcompensated. In addition to identifying
market inefficiencies, capitalizing on this type of underpricing is an example
of how we have successfully added value.

The Fund's exposure to Baa credits (20.7%) continued to help returns during the
period. One of the Fund's holdings, BBB-rated Fontana Redevelopment Agency
(Jurupa Hills) bonds, was pre-refunded, which effectively raised the bonds'
rating to Aaa quality. The Fund maintained its exposure by reinvesting in the
refinancing (1.1%). Additionally, we participated in the $1.588 billion, Baa
rated, Foothill/Eastern Transportation Corridor Agency Toll Road issue (3.6%).
We also purchased Baa3-rated, San Diego County Certificate of Participation --
Burnham Institute (0.9%). The Burnham Institute is recognized as a foremost
cancer research facility, with strong research talent and a solid endowment. We
determined that Burnham's credit spread was too wide for its credit quality.

     As expected, Standard & Poor's upgraded California's general obligations
during the period. California is now rated AA by both S&P and Moody's. As this
upgrade was long anticipated, it had minimal impact on the state's credit
quality spread. The demand for California state tax-exempt securities continues
unabated; their yields are therefore "rich" (bond prices are high) compared to
national levels. During the last few months we have seen this richness near or
at historical peaks. New issuance remains stable -- thus, we do not expect the
richness to change in the near term.

HIGHLIGHTS

     Higher interest rates hurt the municipal market during the period.
Investors continued to pull back from new investments, making matters worse. For
example, property and casualty insurance companies, traditional municipal buyers
in the intermediate range of the tax-free yield curve, scaled back new purchases
due to higher claims and lower profitability.

     The Fund's disciplined investment approach kept its duration slightly
shorter than the benchmark, which helped performance as rates rose for the
period. The 15-20 year maturities provided the best total return for the period
and remained the focus of our investments. A typical purchase was a block of
Florida G.O. bonds with a coupon of 5.75%, due to mature in 2022 (1.7%), that
overcompensated holders for accepting a March settlement date.

     As we look forward, the Fed's bias toward restricting monetary policy is
likely to keep pressure on rates to rise. We expect Y2K concerns to slow
activity and new issuance as we head toward the year's end.

HIGHLIGHTS

     During the period we continued to make new investments in accordance with
our long-term investment themes, among them deregulation of the power industry
and the travel and leisure industries as beneficiaries of strong economic
growth. The Fund's top five sectors illustrate our focus on these themes.

     During the period we also purchased new credits in the paper products
industry, which displaced universities on the top five sectors list as of August
31, 1999. A good example is Courtland Industrial Development Board for Champion
International Corporation Project (AL) (1.7%),* due in 2029 and priced to yield
6.00%. After years of stable but low growth, Champion has refocused and begun to
enhance its performance. The company has moved away from the commodity paper
businesses such as newsprint, and now emphasizes higher-margin sectors such as
fine papers and packaging. We believe their sharper focus will lead to enhanced
performance, which in turn is likely to enhance the value of Champion debt.

time.

     Our other main purchase of the period was Ohio Water Development Authority
(Bay Shore Power Project), (3.5%).* As the power industry is deregulated and
utilities lose their monopolies, they must become more competitive or perish. We
think Bay Shore is a good candidate to thrive in the new business environment.
We financed the Bay Shore holding in part with the sale of bonds issued by the
McCormick Place Convention Complex -- Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority
(IL), a hotel project where credit improved so greatly that it could be refunded
and escrowed to maturity with U.S. Treasury bonds. Going forward we remain
positive on the airline and travel industries, the power sector and
universities. We are reducing exposure to the financial sector and avoiding
hospitals.

HIGHLIGHTS

     Higher interest rates hurt the municipal market during the period.
Investors continued to pull back from new investments making matters worse. For
example, property and casualty insurance companies, traditional municipal buyers
in the intermediate range of the tax-free yield curve, scaled back new purchases
due to higher claims and lower profitability.

     The Fund continued to stress investment in 15-20 year maturity bonds. We
felt that shareholders were paid more yield for the true duration risk in the
15-20 year area than they were paid for the true duration risk in longer
maturity bonds. However, we did partly swap out of our position in New York City
Industrial Development Agency Special Facility Revenue (1.2%), backed by
American Airlines (coupon of 5.40%, due 2019) at a 22-basis point spread to the
equivalent spot on the AAA curve. This transaction boosted total return, as we
had purchased these bonds several months before at a 59-basis point spread to
the curve.

     As we look forward, the Fed's bias toward restricting monetary policy is
likely to keep pressure on rates to rise. We expect Y2K concerns to slow
activity and new issuance as we head toward the year's end.

/1/Figures assume reinvestment of all dividends and other distributions at net
   asset value on the payable dates and do not include sales charges; results
   for each class would be lower if sales charges were included. Total
   investment return for periods of less than one year has not been annualized.

The data above represents past performance of the Fund's shares, which is no
guarantee of future results. The principal value of an investment in the Fund
will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more
or less than their original cost. Capital gain distributions and gains realized
on the sale of Fund shares are taxable.

Organization And Significant Accounting Policies
 PaineWebber Mutual Fund Trust ("Mutual Fund Trust") and PaineWebber Municipal
Series ("Municipal Series") (collectively, the "Trusts") were organized under
Massachusetts law by Declarations of Trust dated November 21, 1986 and January
28, 1987, respectively, and are registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end
diversified management investment company and an open-end non-diversified
management investment company, respectively. Mutual Fund Trust has two series:
PaineWebber California Tax-Free Income Fund ("California Tax-Free Income Fund")
and PaineWebber National Tax-Free Income Fund ("National Tax-Free Income
Fund"). Municipal Series has two series: PaineWebber Municipal High Income Fund
("Municipal High Income Fund") and PaineWebber New York Tax-Free Income Fund
("New York Tax-Free Income Fund") (collectively, the "Funds").
 Currently, each Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares. Each
class represents interests in the same assets of the applicable Fund and the
classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures,
ongoing service and distribution charges and certain transfer agency expenses.
In addition, Class B shares and all corresponding dividend reinvested shares
automatically convert to Class A shares approximately six years after initial
issuance. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges, except that each
class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribu-
tion plan.
 The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires Fund management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is
a summary of significant accounting policies:
 Valuation of Investments--Each Fund calculates its net asset value based on
the current market value for its portfolio securities. The Funds normally ob-
tain market values for their securities from independent pricing sources. Inde-
pendent pricing sources may use reported last sale prices, current market quo-
tations or valuations from computerized "matrix" systems that derive values
based on comparable securities. Securities traded in the over-the-counter
("OTC") market and listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. ("Nasdaq") normally
are valued at the last sale price on Nasdaq prior to valuation. Other OTC secu-
rities are valued at the last bid price available prior to valuation. Securi-
ties which are listed on U.S. and foreign stock exchanges normally are valued
at the last sale price on the day the securities are valued or, lacking any
sales on such day, at the last available bid price. In cases where securities
are traded on more than one exchange, the securities are valued on the exchange
designated as the primary market by Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc.
("Mitchell Hutchins"), a wholly owned subsidiary of PaineWebber Incorporated
("PaineWebber") and investment adviser and administrator of the Funds. If a
market value is not available from an independent pricing source for a particu-
lar security, that security is valued at fair value as determined in good faith
by or under the direction of the Funds' board of trustees (the "board"). The
amortized cost method of valuation, which approximates market value, generally
is used to value short-term debt instruments with sixty days or less remaining
to maturity, unless the board determines that this does not represent fair
value.
 Investment Transactions and Investment Income--Investment transactions are re-
corded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment transac-
tions are calculated on the identified cost method. Interest income is recorded
on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as ad-
justments to interest income and the identified cost of securities.

                                                                              39
<PAGE>

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
 Income and expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) are allocated propor-
tionately to each class of shares based upon the relative value of dividend el-
igible shares of each class at the beginning of the day (after adjusting for
current capital share activity of the respective classes). Realized and
unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionately to each class of
shares based upon the relative value of shares outstanding at the beginning of
the day (after adjusting for current capital share activity of the respective
class). Class-specific expenses are charged directly to the applicable class of
shares.
 Futures Contracts--Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Funds
are required to pledge to a broker an amount of cash and/or municipal securi-
ties equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known
as the "initial margin." Subsequently, payments, known as "variation margin,"
are made or received by the Funds each day, depending on the daily fluctuations
in the value of the underlying financial futures contracts. Such variation mar-
gin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as unrealized
gain or loss until the financial futures contract is closed, at which time the
net gain or loss is reclassified to realized.
 Using financial futures contracts involves various market risks. The maximum
amount at risk from the purchase of a futures contract is the contract value.
The Funds use financial futures contracts in strategies intended to enhance in-
come or for hedging purposes. However, imperfect correlations between futures
contracts and the portfolio securities being hedged, or market disruptions, do
not normally permit full control of these risks at all times.
 Dividends and Distributions--Dividends and distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions are
determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ
from generally accepted accounting principles.  These "book/tax" differences
are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these
differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the
capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary
differences do not require reclassification.
Concentration of Risk
 Each Fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal ob-
ligations of various states except for California Tax-Free Income Fund and New
York Tax-Free Income Fund which invest primarily in municipal obligations of
their respective states. This concentration of investments may subject these
Funds to greater risks. Economic changes affecting those states and certain of
their public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of the issuers
within those states to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obli-
gations held by those Funds.
Bank Line of Credit
 Each Fund may participate with other funds managed by Mitchell Hutchins in a
$200 million committed credit facility ("Facility") to be utilized for tempo-
rary financing until the settlement of sale or purchase of portfolio securi-
ties, the repurchase or redemption of shares of the Funds at the request of the
shareholders and other temporary or emergency purposes. In connection there-
with, each Fund has agreed to pay a commitment fee, pro rata, based on the rel-
ative asset size of the Funds in the Facility. Interest is charged to each Fund
at rates based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowings.
For the six months ended August 31, 1999, the Funds did not borrow under the
Facility.
Investment Adviser and Administrator
 Each Trust's board of trustees has approved an Investment Advisory and Admin-
istration Contract ("Advisory Contract") with Mitchell Hutchins, under which
Mitchell Hutchins serves as investment adviser and administrator of the Funds.
In accordance with the Advisory Contracts, each Fund pays Mitchell Hutchins an
investment advisory and administration fee, which is accrued daily and paid
monthly, at the annual rates of 0.50% of California Tax-Free Income Fund's and
National

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
Tax-Free Income Fund's average daily net assets and 0.60% of Municipal High In-
come Fund's and New York Tax-Free Income Fund's average daily net assets. At
August 31, 1999, California Tax-Free Income Fund, National Tax-Free Income
Fund, Municipal High Income Fund and New York Tax-Free Income Fund owed Mitch-
ell Hutchins $36,391, $117,180, $56,142 and $10,139, respectively, in invest-
ment advisory and administration fees. For the six months ended August 31, 1999
Mitchell Hutchins voluntarily waived $149,648 and $64,202 in investment advi-
sory and administration fees from the California Tax-Free Income Fund and New
York Tax-Free Income Fund, respectively.
Distribution Plans
 Mitchell Hutchins is the distributor of each Fund's shares and has appointed
PaineWebber as exclusive dealer for the sale of those shares. Under separate
plans of distribution pertaining to Class A, Class B and Class C shares, each
Fund pays Mitchell Hutchins monthly service fees at the annual rate of 0.25% of
the average daily net assets of each class of shares and monthly distribution
fees at the annual rate of 0.75% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of
Class B and Class C shares, respectively. At August 31, 1999, California Tax-
Free Income Fund, National Tax-Free Income Fund, Municipal High Income Fund and
New York Tax-Free Income Fund owed Mitchell Hutchins $45,605, $90,082, $44,218
and $16,224, respectively, in service and distribution fees.
 Mitchell Hutchins also receives the proceeds of the initial sales charges paid
by shareholders upon the purchase of Class A shares and the contingent deferred

Federal Tax Status
 Each Fund intends to distribute all of its tax-exempt income and any taxable
income and to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provisions for
federal income taxes are required. In addition, by distributing during each
calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and
certain other amounts, if any, each Fund intends not to be subject to a federal
excise tax.
 At February 28,1999, National Tax-Free Income Fund had $394,177 of capital
loss carryforwards available relating to its acquisition on November 3, 1995 of
Mitchell Hutchins/Kidder, Peabody Municipal Bond Fund, which will expire by
February 28, 2003. To the extent that any net capital loss carryforwards are
used, as provided in the regulations, to offset future capital gains, it is
probable that the gains so offset will not be distributed.

 * Annualized.
(1) Total investment return is calculated assuming a $1,000 investment on the
    first day of each period reported, reinvestment of all dividends and
    distributions at net asset value on the payable dates and a sale at net
    asset value on the last day of each period reported. The figures do not
    include sales charges or program fees; results would be lower if sales
    charges or program fees were included. Total investment return for periods
    of less than one year has not been annualized.
