Report of Independent Auditors


To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Alliance Quasar Fund, Inc.

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of 
Alliance Quasar Fund, Inc. for the year ended September 30, 1998, we 
considered its internal control, including control activities 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.

The management of Alliance Quasar Fund, Inc. is responsible for 
establishing and maintaining internal control.  In fulfilling this 
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to 
assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls.  
Generally, controls that are relevant to an audit pertain to the 
entity's objective of preparing financial statements for external 
purposes that are fairly presented in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.  Those controls include the 
safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition, use or 
disposition.

Because of inherent limitations in internal control, errors or fraud 
may occur and not be detected.  Also, projection of any evaluation of 
internal control 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 would not necessarily 
disclose all matters in the internal control 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 one or more of the internal control 
components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that 
errors or fraud 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 and its operation, including controls 
for safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material 
weaknesses as defined above at September 30, 1998.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the 
board of directors and management of Alliance Quasar Fund, Inc. and 
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
