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

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

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

PRINT ON COMPAQ
The Board of Trustees of
Prudential Allocation Fund:
In planning and performing our audits of the financial
statements of Prudential Allocation Fund (consisting of the
Balanced Portfolio and the Strategy Portfolio) ("Fund") for
the year ended July 31, 1996, we considered its internal
control structure, including procedures for safeguarding
securities, in order to determine our auditing procedures
for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial
statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-
SAR, not to provide assurance on the internal control
structure.
The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing
and maintaining an internal control structure. In
fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by
management are required to assess the expected benefits and
related costs of internal control structure policies and
procedures. Two of the objectives of an internal control
structure are to provide management with reasonable, but not
absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss
from unauthorized use or disposition and that transactions
are executed in accordance with management's authorization
and recorded properly to permit preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Because of inherent limitations in any internal control
structure, errors or irregularities may occur and not be
detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of the
structure to future periods is subject to the risk that it
may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or
that the effectiveness of the design and operation may
deteriorate.
Our consideration of the internal control structure would
not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control
structure that might be material weaknesses under standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants. A material weakness is a condition in which
the design or operation of the specific internal control
structure elements does not reduce to a relatively low level
the risk that errors or irregularities in amounts that would
be material in relation to the financial statements being
audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period
by employees in the normal course of performing their
assigned functions. However, we noted no matters involving
the internal control structure, including procedures for
safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material
weaknesses as defined above as of July 31, 1996.
This report is intended solely for the information and use
of management and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
