                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                          (UNAUDITED)

The  financial statements include, in the opinion of  management,

all  adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results

of operations and financial condition of Dean Witter Multi-Market

Portfolio L.P. (the "Partnership").  The financial statements and

condensed  notes  herein should be read in conjunction  with  the

Partnership's December 31, 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


1. Organization

Dean  Witter  Multi-Market Portfolio L.P. (formerly  Dean  Witter

Principal   Guaranteed  Fund  L.P.)  is  a  limited   partnership

organized  to  engage  in the speculative  trading  of  commodity

futures  contracts  and forward contracts on  foreign  currencies

(collectively,  "futures interests").   The  general  partner  is

Demeter  Management  Corporation ("Demeter").   The  non-clearing

commodity  broker is Dean Witter Reynolds Inc. ("DWR"),  with  an

unaffiliated   clearing  commodity  broker,  Carr  Futures   Inc.

("Carr"), providing clearing and execution services.  Dean Witter

Futures  &  Currency Management, Inc. ("DWFCM"), an affiliate  of

Demeter,  is  the  sole  trading  advisor  for  the  Partnership.

Demeter,  DWFCM  and  DWR  are all wholly-owned  subsidiaries  of

Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co. ("MSDW").



2.  Related Party Transactions

The  Partnership's  cash  is on deposit  with  DWR  and  Carr  in

commodity trading accounts to meet margin requirements as needed.

<PAGE>

            DEAN WITTER MULTI-MARKET PORTFOLIO L.P.
           NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


DWR  pays  interest on these funds based on current 13-week  U.S.

Treasury   bill  rates.  Brokerage  expenses  incurred   by   the

Partnership are paid to DWR.  Management fees and incentive  fees

(if applicable) are paid to DWFCM.



3. Financial Instruments

The  Partnership trades futures and forward contracts on  foreign

currencies.  Futures and forwards represent contracts for delayed

delivery  of  an instrument at a specified date and price.   Risk

arises  from  changes  in the value of these  contracts  and  the

potential inability of counterparties to perform under the  terms

of   the  contracts.   There  are  numerous  factors  which   may

significantly  influence  the market value  of  these  contracts,

including  interest  rate  volatility.   At  June  30,  1998  and

December 31, 1997,  open contracts were:


Contract or Notional Amount
                            June 30, 1998    December 31, 1997
                                    $                   $

Exchange-Traded Contracts
 Financial Futures:
   Commitments to Purchase      7,809,000          3,178,000
   Commitments to Sell          1,343,000              -

   Commitments to Purchase     50,735,000         21,650,000
   Commitments to Sell         66,829,000         41,462,000

<PAGE>
             DEAN WITTER MULTI-MARKET PORTFOLIO L.P.
           NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)



A  portion of the amounts indicated as off-balance-sheet risk  in

forward   currency   contracts  is  due  to  offsetting   forward

commitments to purchase and to sell the same currency on the same

date   in   the   future.   These  commitments  are  economically

offsetting,  but are not offset in the forward market  until  the

settlement date.


The  net  unrealized  gain on open contracts  is  reported  as  a

respectively.



The   contract   amounts  in  the  above  table   represent   the

Partnership's  extent  of involvement in a  particular  class  of

financial  instrument, but not the credit  risk  associated  with

counterparty  non-performance.  The credit risk  associated  with

these  instruments  is limited to the amounts  reflected  in  the

Partnership's Statements of Financial Condition.




The Partnership also has credit risk because DWR and Carr act  as

the  futures  commission  merchants or the  counterparties,  with

respect  to  most  of the Partnership's assets.   Exchange-traded

futures  contracts  are marked to market on a daily  basis,  with

variations  in value settled on a daily basis.  Each of  DWR  and

Carr,  as  a  futures commission merchant for  the  Partnership's

exchange-traded  futures  contracts,  is  required,  pursuant  to

regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"),

to  segregate from their own assets, and for the sole benefit  of

their commodity customers, all funds held by them with respect to

exchange-traded futures contracts, including an amount  equal  to

the  net  unrealized  gain on all open futures  contracts,  which

funds,  in  the  aggregate, totaled $9,197,310 and $9,999,748  at

June  30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively.  With respect

to   the   Partnership's  off-exchange-traded  forward   currency

contracts,

<PAGE>

            DEAN WITTER MULTI-MARKET PORTFOLIO L.P.
           NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONCLUDED)


there  are  no  daily settlements of variations in value  nor  is

there  any requirement that an amount equal to the net unrealized

gain  on  open forward contracts be segregated.  With respect  to

those   off-exchange-traded  forward  currency   contracts,   the

Partnership  is  at  risk  to  the  ability  of  Carr,  the  sole

counterparty  on all such contracts, to perform.  Carr's  parent,

Credit  Agricole  Indosuez, has guaranteed  to  the  Partnership,

payment of the net liquidating value of the transactions  in  the

Partnership's  account  with  Carr  (including  foreign  currency

contracts).



For  the  six  months  ended June 30, 1998  and  the  year  ended

December   31,   1997,  the  average  fair  value  of   financial

instruments held for trading purposes was as follows:

Item   2.  MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Liquidity - The Partnership's assets are deposited with  DWR,  as

non-clearing broker and with Carr, as clearing broker in separate

futures   interest  trading  accounts,  and  are  used   by   the

Partnership  as  margin  to engage in futures  interest  trading.

Such assets are held in either non-interest bearing bank accounts

or  in securities approved by the CFTC for investment of customer

funds.  The Partnership's assets held by DWR and Carr may be used

as  margin  solely  for  the Partnership's  trading.   Since  the

Partnership's  sole purpose is to trade in futures interests,  it

is expected that the Partnership will continue to own such liquid

assets for margin purposes.



The   Partnership's  investment  in  futures  interests  may   be

illiquid.  If  the price of a futures contract for  a  particular

commodity  has increased or decreased by an amount equal  to  the

"daily  limit," positions in the commodity can neither  be  taken

nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at  or

within  the  limit.   Commodity futures prices have  occasionally

moved the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or

no trading.  Such market conditions could prevent the Partnership

from  promptly  liquidating its commodity futures  positions  and

result in restrictions on redemptions.

                                

There  is  no limitation on daily price moves in trading  forward

contracts  on  foreign currencies.  The markets  for  some  world

currencies have low trading volume and are illiquid, which may

<PAGE>

prevent  the  Partnership from trading in potentially  profitable

markets  or  prevent  the Partnership from  promptly  liquidating

unfavorable  positions  in  such markets  and  subjecting  it  to

substantial  losses.   Either of these  market  conditions  could

result in restrictions on redemptions.



Capital  Resources - The Partnership does not have, nor  does  it

expect  to  have, any capital assets.  Redemptions  of  Units  of

Limited Partnership Interest in the future will affect the amount

of  funds  available  for  investment  in  futures  interests  in

subsequent  periods.   Since they are at the  discretion  of  the

Limited  Partners, it is not possible to estimate the amount  and

therefore, the impact of future redemptions.



Results of Operations

For the Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 1998

For  the  quarter  ended June 30, 1998, the Partnership  recorded

total trading revenues including interest income of $381,732, and

posted  an  increase  in  Net Asset Value  per  Unit.   The  most

significant  gains were recorded in the currency  markets  during

May  from  short Japanese yen positions as the value of  the  yen

reached its lowest level relative to the U.S. dollar since  1991.

Additional  gains  were  recorded during June  from  short  South

African rand positions as its value also trended lower versus the

U.S. dollar despite intervention by the South African government.

Currency gains were also recorded from trading the Swedish  krona

and Australian dollar throughout the quarter.  In soft

                                

<PAGE>

commodities,  gains  were  recorded  from  short  coffee  futures

positions  as prices moved lower during April and June.   Smaller

gains were recorded during the second quarter in the agricultural

and  metals  markets  from short positions  in  corn,  wheat  and

aluminum futures.  A portion of these gains was offset by  losses

in  the  financial  futures markets during April  and  June.   In

April,  losses  were  recorded  from  long  global  bond  futures

positions  as  Australian, Japanese and  European  interest  rate

futures  prices reversed lower after trending higher  previously.

The  previous trend higher in global interest rate futures prices

reemerged  during May.  However, additional losses were  recorded

during June as this upward move reversed sharply lower during mid-

month  in reaction to the Federal Reserve's intervention to  halt

the  downward slide of the Japanese yen.  Additional losses  were

recorded from trading global stock index futures during April and

June.   Smaller losses were recorded in the energy  markets  from

short  natural  gas futures positions as prices  reversed  higher

during  June after trending lower previously. Total expenses  for

the three months ended June 30, 1998 were $236,022, resulting  in

net  income of $145,710.  The value of an individual Unit in  the

Partnership  increased  from  $1,084.30  at  March  31,  1998  to

$1,100.64 at June 30, 1998.



For  the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Partnership recorded

total trading revenues including interest income of $80,593,  and

after  expenses  posted a decrease in Net Asset Value  per  Unit.

The  most  significant net trading losses were  recorded  in  the

metals markets during the first quarter from long silver futures

<PAGE>

positions  as  silver  prices reversed lower  in  February  after

rallying  higher during January. Additional losses were  recorded

from  trading gold futures during much of the first half  of  the

year.   Smaller  losses were recorded from  trading  base  metals

futures  during  March  and  May.  In financial  futures,  losses

recorded  during  the  second quarter  from  short  Nikkei  Index

futures  positions, as well as from long Australian bond  futures

positions  more  than offset profits recorded  during  the  first

quarter  from long European bond futures positions.  In  currency

trading, significant losses recorded during the first quarter due

primarily  to short-term volatility in the value of the  Japanese

yen  were  offset during the second quarter by gains  from  short

Japanese  yen  positions  as its value moved  dramatically  lower

during  May.   Additional currency gains recorded in  the  second

quarter  from  trading the Swedish krona and South  African  Rand

offset  losses recorded in European currencies during  the  first

six  months  of  the year.  Additionally, trendless  movement  in

soybean  futures  prices during January  and  March  resulted  in

smaller   losses   for  the  Partnership.   A  portion   of   the

Partnership's overall losses for the first half of the  year  was

offset  by  gains in soft commodities recorded from  short  sugar

futures  positions  as prices trended lower  during  January  and

February  and  from  short  coffee futures  positions  as  prices

trended lower during April and June.  Total expenses for the  six

months ended June 30, 1998 were $473,773, resulting in a net loss

of  $393,180.  The value of an individual Unit in the Partnership

decreased  from  $1,141.63 at December 31, 1997 to  $1,100.64  at

June 30, 1998.

<PAGE>

For the Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 1997

For  the  quarter  ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership  recorded

total  trading  losses net of interest income  of  $507,306,  and

posted  a  decrease  in  Net Asset Value per  Unit.  Losses  were

recorded in the financial futures markets during April from short

positions  in  U.S. interest rate futures as prices moved  higher

late  in  the  month.   This upward price move  resulted  in  the

Partnership  establishing  new  long  positions,  which  recorded

additional  losses  in May as prices finished  the  month  lower.

Smaller losses were recorded as a result of similar choppy  price

movement in European interest rate futures during April and  May.

A  portion  of these losses was offset in June from  long  global

interest  rate  and stock index futures positions  as  prices  in

these markets moved higher. Trading losses were also recorded  in

the  energy and metals markets as oil and gas prices, as well  as

base  metals  prices,  moved  in a choppy  pattern  throughout  a

majority  of  the quarter.  Smaller losses were recorded  in  the

currency markets as gains experienced from a strengthening in the

value  of  the  U.S. dollar versus the Japanese yen during  April

were  more  than  offset  by  losses recorded  from  transactions

involving  the  Swiss  franc during June  and  from  transactions

involving  the Canadian dollar and British pound during  May.   A

portion  of the Partnership's overall losses for the quarter  was

offset by gains experienced from long coffee futures positions as

coffee  prices  trended  higher  during  April  and  May.   Gains

recorded from short soybean and corn futures positions, as prices

in these markets moved lower during June, also helped to mitigate

losses  during the quarter.  Total expenses for the three  months

ended June 30, 1997 were $271,784,

<PAGE>

resulting  in a net loss of $779,090. The value of an  individual

Unit  in  the Partnership decreased from $1,078.18 at  March  31,

1997 to $1,008.50 at June 30, 1997.



For  the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership recorded

total trading revenues including interest income of $650,632, and

posted  an  increase  in  Net Asset  Value  per  Unit.  The  most

significant  trading gains were recorded in the currency  markets

as  a  result of a strengthening in the value of the U.S.  dollar

during  the  period January through April.  A  portion  of  these

gains  was  offset  by  losses  from transactions  involving  the

British pound and Canadian dollar during February, March and May.

Gains  were  also recorded in soft commodities from  long  coffee

futures positions as coffee prices trended steadily higher during

January  and  February and again during April and  May.   Trading

gains were also recorded in the agricultural markets from trading

soybean  and  corn  futures.   A majority  of  the  Partnership's

overall  gains  for  the first half of the year  were  offset  by

losses in global interest rate futures as prices in these markets

moved in a short-term volatile range during the period January to

April.   Losses  were also recorded from trading  energy  futures

during  the  second quarter as oil and gas prices  moved  without

consistent direction.  Smaller losses were recorded in metals  as

gains  recorded from short gold futures positions during  January

were  more  than offset by losses in base metals futures  trading

during  the  second quarter.  Total expenses for the  six  months

ended  June  30, 1997 were $585,708 resulting in  net  income  of

$64,924.  The value of an individual Unit in the

                                

<PAGE>

Partnership  increased from $1,007.76 at  December  31,  1996  to

$1,008.50 at June 30, 1997.
