TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS:
For the year ended March 31, 1994, CMA California Municipal Money
Fund paid shareholders a net annualized yield of 1.93%*. As of
March 31, 1994, the Fund's 7-day yield was 1.80%.
The Environment
Inflationary expectations changed sharply during the March
quarter. Following better-than-expected economic results, Federal
Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan indicated in Congressional
testimony in January that continued strong expansion of the
economy would lead the central bank to tighten monetary policy in
an effort to control inflation. On February 4, 1994, the central
bank broke with tradition and publicly announced a modest 25
basis point (0.25%) increase in short-term interest rates. At the
March 22 meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee, the
Federal Reserve Board again raised the Federal Funds rate by 25
basis points, and also announced the increase.
<PAGE>
Rather than view the Federal Reserve Board's first tightening
move as a preemptive strike against inflation, fixed-income
investors focused on Chairman Greenspan's implicit promise of
further tightening should the rate of inflation accelerate, and
bond prices declined sharply. The setback in the bond market was
also reflected in greater stock market volatility. While the
second increase in the Federal Funds rate was less of a surprise,
investors remained concerned that interest rates would trend
upward sharply. As a result, stock and bond prices continued to
decline through the end of March. The volatility in the US
capital markets was mirrored in international markets. Political
and economic developments, along with concerns of heightened
global inflationary pressures, led to a sell-off in most capital
markets, especially the emerging markets that had appreciated
strongly in 1993.
[FN]
*Based on a constant investment throughout the period, with
dividends compounded daily, and reflecting a net return to the
investor after all expenses.
In the weeks ahead, investors will continue to gauge the pace of
the economic expansion and watch for signs of an overheating
economy. At this time, there is little evidence that the rate of
inflation will increase rapidly. Therefore, although the secular
long-term trend toward lower interest rates may be over, it is
not yet certain whether the pace of economic activity will
accelerate to the point where significant Federal Reserve Board
tightening will be necessary to contain inflation.
Investment Outlook and Strategy
The State of California continues to be plagued with a recession
that, since 1990, has cost it approximately 868,000 jobs, or 7%
of its work force. In addition, the current year's State budget
remains strained by expenditure demand that exceeds original
projections and revenues that lag budget assumptions. Compounding
the effects of the recession and a reduction in realized revenues
was the earthquake in January. Although the US Government has
indicated that it intends to approve approximately $9.5 billion
in aid to the State for damages incurred, the remainder of
damages would be the State's responsibility. Governor Wilson has
indicated that he would like to issue bonds to fund these repairs
in lieu of the institution of a temporary increase in the State's
sales tax.
<PAGE>
The 1994-1995 fiscal year will represent the fourth consecutive
year that California will face a very difficult budget
environment, compounded by election year politics. The challenge
facing State leaders is addressing an accumulated deficit that
ranges from $2.8 billion to $4.5 billion, based on various
estimates. The Governor's budget presented on January 7, 1994
projected $41.3 billion in general fund revenue. Included in this
projection were some revenues that presently appear uncertain,
such as $2.0 billion in Federal immigration aid and $600.0
million in receipts that are dependent upon a favorable US
Supreme Court decision this term. Failure of one or both of these
revenue sources to be realized will further inflate the State's
accumulated deficit.
During the period, the State issued $3.2 billion in Revenue
Anticipation Warrants (RAWs) with maturities of July 26, 1994 and
December 23, 1994 to fund part of the State's 18-month deficit
elimination program initiated in July of 1993. Total California
issuance for 1993 totaled $17.3 billion, a decrease from 1992
issuance of $20.2 billion. Total short-term issuance for the
first quarter of 1994, including RAWs, totaled $3.4 billion.
At the beginning of the period under review, we maintained an
aggressive average portfolio maturity in the 80-day range in
response to the steep yield curve environment. In January, we
reduced the Fund's average portfolio maturity to the 60-day range
since the Federal Reserve Board gave increasingly strong
indications that a tightening of monetary policy was imminent.
Later in January, the State of California announced its upcoming
RAWs issuance and, in view of this supply, we further reduced our
average portfolio maturity. In February and March we continued to
reduce our average maturity to end the quarter in the mid 40-day
range. In April, we anticipate that we will see traditional
redemptions associated with the payment of Federal taxes and will
continue to maintain an average portfolio maturity in this range.
In the months ahead, we will continue to monitor the California
budget debate and its potential impact on the Fund.
We thank you for your continued support of CMA California
Municipal Money Fund, and we look forward to serving your
investment needs in the future.
Sincerely,

CMA CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies:
CMA California Municipal Money Fund (the "Fund") is part of CMA
Multi-State Municipal Series Trust (the "Trust"). The Fund is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-
diversified, open-end investment management company. The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies
followed by the Fund.
(a) Valuation of investments--Investments are valued at amortized
cost which approximates market. For the purpose of valuation, the
maturity of a variable rate demand instrument is deemed to be the
next coupon date on which the interest rate is to be adjusted. In
the case of a floating rate instrument, the remaining maturity is
the demand notice payment period.
(b) Income taxes--It is the Fund's policy to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its
taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income
tax provision is required.
(c) Security transactions and investment income--Security
transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are
entered into (the trade dates). Interest income (including
amortization of premium and discount) is recognized on the
accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on security transactions
are determined on the identified cost basis.
(d) Prepaid registration fees--Prepaid registration fees are
charged to expense as the related shares are issued.
(e) Dividends to shareholders--The Fund declares dividends daily
and reinvests daily such dividends (net of non-resident alien tax
withheld) in additional fund shares at net asset value. Dividends
are declared from the total of net investment income, excluding
discounts earned other than original issue discounts. Net
realized capital gains, if any, are normally distributed annually
after deducting prior years' loss carryforward. The Fund may
distribute capital gains more frequently than annually in order
to maintain the Fund's net asset value at $1.00 per share.
(f) Reclassifications--Undistributed investment income--net,
in the amount of $71,914 has been reclassified to accumulated
realized capital losses--net.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Transactions with
Affiliates:
The Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with
Fund Asset Management, L.P. ("FAM"). Effective January 1, 1994,
the investment advisory business of FAM was reorganized from a
corporation to a limited partnership. Both prior to and after the
reorganization, ultimate control of FAM was vested with Merrill
Lynch & Co., Inc. ("ML & Co."). The general partner of FAM is
Princeton Services, Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
ML & Co. The limited partners are ML & Co. and Merrill Lynch
Investment Management, Inc. ("MLIM"), which is also an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of ML & Co.
FAM is responsible for the management of the Fund's portfolio and
provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and
certain other services necessary to the operations of the Fund.
For such services, the Fund pays a monthly fee based upon the
average daily value of the Fund's net assets at the following
annual rates: 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets not
exceeding $500 million; 0.425% of the average daily net assets in
excess of $500 million but not exceeding $1 billion; and 0.375%
of the average daily net assets in excess of $1 billion.
The most restrictive annual expense limitation requires that the
Adviser reimburse the Fund to the extent the Fund's expenses
(excluding interest, taxes, distribution fees, brokerage fees and
commissions, and extraordinary items) exceed 2.5% of the Fund's
first $30 million of average daily net assets, 2.0% of the Fund's
next $70 million of average daily net assets, and 1.5% of the
average daily net assets in excess thereof. No fee payment
CMA CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONCLUDED)
will be made to the Investment Adviser during any year which will
cause such expenses to exceed the pro rata expense limitation at
the time of such payment.
Pursuant to the Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan in
compliance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of
1940, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc. ("MLPF&S")
receives a distribution fee from the Fund at the end of each
month at the annual rate of 0.125% of the average daily net
assets of the Fund. The distribution fee is to compensate MLPF&S
financial consultants and other directly involved branch office
personnel for selling shares of the Fund and for providing direct
personal services to shareholders. The distribution fee is not
compensation for the administrative and operational services
rendered to the Fund by MLPF&S in processing share orders and
administering shareholder accounts.
<PAGE>
Financial Data Services, Inc. ("FDS"), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of ML & Co., is the Fund's transfer agent.
Accounting services are provided to the Fund by FAM at cost.
Certain officers and/or trustees of the Fund are officers and/or
directors of FAM, MLIM, MLPF&S, FDS, and/or ML & Co.
3. Shares of Beneficial Interest:
The number of shares purchased and redeemed during the period
corresponds to the amounts included in the Statements of Changes
in Net Assets for net proceeds from sale of shares and cost of
shares redeemed, respectively, since shares are recorded at $1.00
per share.
4. Capital Loss Carryforward:
At March 31, 1994, the Fund had a net capital loss carryforward
of approximately $472,000, all of which expires in 2002 and will
be available to offset a like amount of any future taxable gains.
