DEAR SHAREHOLDER

We made little change in Merrill Lynch
Global Allocation Fund, Inc.'s overall
asset allocation during the three months
ended April 30, 1995. Equity invest-
ments made up 37.3% of net assets as of
April, virtually unchanged from the
close of the prior period. Fixed-income
investments were down slightly from
59.5% of net assets to 58.4%. Cash and
cash equivalents, which made up 3.3% of
the portfolio at January quarter-end,
were increased slightly to 4.3% at the end
of the April quarter. (See the "Summary
of the Fund's Overall Asset Mix" table
on page 1 of this report to shareholders.)

There were minor shifts in portfolio
allocations on a geographic basis. North
and South American (principally US)
common stock investments accounted
for 22.7% of net assets at the end of
January, and were 22.1% of the portfolio
at the end of April. With US equities at
historic high prices and reflecting
expensive valuations, we continue to
believe that bonds offer a more attrac-
tive risk/return tradeoff. Pacific Basin
equities increased to 5.6% of net assets
from 4.5%, primarily through an increase
in Japanese investments from 4.0% to
4.7%. European equities as a percentage
of the portfolio declined from 10.0%
to 9.6%.

With the lowest share prices in nearly
two years, we chose to increase Japanese
equity investments during the quarter.
The Fund's Japanese equity exposure
is nevertheless underweighted since
the high value of the yen is exerting
significant pressure on the profitability
of Japanese industry. In addition, equity
valuations, while inexpensive compared
to recent Japanese stock market history,
are not compellingly attractive com-
pared to the world's major equity markets.
Many Japanese equities are at the low-
est price/book value ratios in years,
but since  Japanese corporate profits
are under pressure, price/earnings
ratios remain high compared to other
major stock markets.
<PAGE>
In the fixed-income area, we decreased
US dollar-denominated holdings from
36.1% to 34.2%, and increased the
already overweighted European fixed-
income exposure to 21.6%, up from
19.8% at the end of the prior quarter.
Our European fixed-income invest-
ments are focused in German govern-
ment and state bonds, which offer high
credit quality and yields greater than
US Treasury issues. The portfolio's US
dollar exposure (that is, US dollar-
denominated assets and non-US dollar-
denominated assets hedged back into
US dollars) was virtually unchanged
over the course of the quarter.
<PAGE>
In terms of the Fund's performance, the
most significant development during
the April quarter was the decline and
subsequent recovery in Latin American
financial markets. As discussed in our
last report to shareholders, Latin Ameri-
can capital markets declined sharply
following the Mexican peso's devalua-
tion in December 1994, and continued
through early March 1995. The Mexican
currency continued to weaken as in-
vestors questioned the country's ability
to service its short-term debt obligations
because of its large and growing current
account deficit. Mexico has sought to
remedy the situation by raising interest
rates to attract capital and by devaluing
the peso, which will make Mexican
goods more competitive internationally
and US goods more expensive in Mexico.
Investor concerns spread to relatively
healthier economies such as Argentina
and Brazil, where fixed-income markets
also sold off sharply. However, in mid-
March, Latin American markets reversed
their downtrend and rallied through
April quarter-end. The Fund has a
significant exposure to US dollar-
denominated Latin American fixed-
income securities, which accounted for
10.6% of net assets at the end of April
compared to 9.6% at the end of January.
These assets depressed performance
early in the April quarter, but contrib-
uted to the Fund's appreciation during
the last seven weeks of the period. In
addition, the Fund's 1.2% position
in Cetes (peso-denominated Mexican
treasury issues) appreciated during
the period.

Another positive factor for Fund per-
formance was higher US fixed-income
prices, although returns on our high-
yield US bond holdings lagged those of
high-grade issues during the early part
of the rally, a typical phenomenon in
periods of rapid bond price changes.
By the end of the quarter, the Fund's
high-yield fixed-income holdings were
also benefiting from the bond market
rally, and we took profits in some issues.
On the other hand, the Fund's under-
weighting in US stocks did not benefit
performance, and the bulk of foreign
currency gains in Deutschemark and
yen-denominated issues were foregone
because these positions were largely
hedged back into US dollars.
<PAGE>
Worldwide, the most dramatic develop-
ments occurred in the currency markets.
This year, the Deutschemark bloc of
currencies and the yen have appreciated
substantially relative to the US dollar.
With the perception that the US econ-
omy is slowing and US interest rates
have passed an interim peak, global
investors have been reluctant to invest
in US dollar-denominated assets. In addi-
tion, it appears that the Federal Reserve
Board's priority is to set monetary policy
to influence the rate of inflation and
domestic economic activity, rather
than defending the US dollar's value in
foreign exchange markets.

Although the large trade and Federal
budget deficits in the United States work
against rapid appreciation of the US
dollar, we believe the currency is deeply
undervalued relative to the yen and
the Deutschemark in terms of its pur-
chasing power. Therefore, we plan to
continue to hedge much of the Fund's
exposure to other currencies.

In Conclusion
We thank you for your investment in
Merrill Lynch Global Allocation Fund,
Inc., and we look forward to reviewing
our outlook and strategy with you again
in our next report to shareholders.

Sincerely,




(Arthur Zeikel)
Arthur Zeikel
President

PERFORMANCE DATA

<PAGE>
About Fund
Performance

Since October 21, 1994, investors have been able to purchase
shares of the Fund through the Merrill Lynch Select Pricing SM
System, which offers four pricing alternatives:

*Class A Shares incur a maximum initial sales charge (front-
 end load) of 5.25% and bear no ongoing distribution or account
 maintenance fees. Class A Shares are available only to
 eligible investors.

*Class B Shares are subject to a maximum contingent deferred
 sales charge of 4% if redeemed during the first year, decreas-
 ing 1% each year thereafter to 0% after the fourth year. In
 addition, Class B Shares are subject to a distribution fee of
 0.75% and an account maintenance fee of 0.25%. These shares
 automatically convert to Class D Shares after 8 years.

*Class C Shares are subject to a distribution fee of 0.75% and an
 account maintenance fee of 0.25%. In addition, Class C Shares
 are subject to a 1% contingent deferred sales charge if
 redeemed within one year of purchase.

*Class D Shares incur a maximum initial sales charge of
 5.25% and an account maintenance fee of 0.25% (but no distri-
 bution fee).

Performance data for the Fund's Class A and Class B Shares are
presented in the "Performance Summary," "Recent Performance
Results" and "Average Annual Total Return" tables on pages 4
and 5. Data for Class C and Class D Shares are also presented
in the "Recent Performance Results" and "Aggregate Total
Return" tables on page 5.

The "Recent Performance Results" table shows investment
results before the deduction of any sales charges for Class A
and Class B Shares for the 12-month and 3-month periods
ended April 30, 1995 and for Class C and Class D Shares for the
since inception and 3-month periods ended April 30, 1995. All
data in this table assume imposition of the actual total expenses
incurred by each class of shares during the relevant period.

None of the past results shown should be considered a repre-
sentation of future performance. Investment return and principal
value of shares will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost. Dividends
paid to each class of shares will vary because of the different
levels of account maintenance, distribution and transfer agency
fees applicable to each class, which are deducted from the
income available to be paid to shareholders.

All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and
other rights and the same terms and conditions, except that
Class B, Class C and Class D Shares bear certain expenses related
to the account maintenance of such shares, and Class B and Class C
Shares also bear certain expenses related to the distribution of
such shares. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect
to matters relating to its account maintenance and distribution
expenditures. The following is a summary of significant accounting
policies followed by the Fund.
<PAGE>
(a) Valuation of investments--Portfolio securities which are traded on
stock exchanges are valued at the last sale price on the exchange on
which such securities are traded, as of the close of business on the
day the securities are being valued or, lacking any sales, at the last
available bid price. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market
are valued at the last available bid price prior to the time of valua-
tion. In cases where securities are traded on more than one exchange,
the securities are valued on the exchange designated by or under
the authority of the Board of Directors as the primary market.
Securities which are traded both in the over-the-counter market and
on a stock exchange are valued according to the broadest and most
representative market. Options written are valued at the last sale
price in the case of exchange-traded options or, in the case of
options traded in the over-the-counter market, the last asked price.
Options purchased are valued at the last sale price in the case of
exchange-traded options or, in the case of options traded in the
over-the-counter market, the last bid price. Short-term securities
are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Other investments, including futures contracts and related options,
are stated at market value. Securities and assets for which market
value quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair
value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the
Fund's Board of Directors.

(b) Repurchase agreements--The Fund invests in US Government
securities pursuant to repurchase agreements with a member bank
of the Federal Reserve System or a primary dealer in US Government
securities. Under such agreements, the bank or primary dealer
agrees to repurchase the security at a mutually agreed upon time
and price. The Fund takes possession of the underlying securities,
marks to market such securities and, if necessary, receives additions
to such securities daily to ensure that the contract is fully
collateralized.

(c) Foreign currency transactions--Transactions denominated in
foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing
when recognized. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are valued at the exchange rate at the end of the period.
Foreign currency transactions are the result of settling (realized)
or valuing (unrealized) receivables or payables expressed in foreign
currencies into US dollars. Realized and unrealized gains or losses
from investments include the effects of foreign exchange rates
on investments.

(d) Derivative financial instruments--The Fund may engage in
various portfolio strategies to seek to increase its return by hedging
its portfolio against adverse movements in the equity, debt, and
currency markets. Losses may arise due to changes in the value
of the contract or if the counterparty does not perform under
the contract.
<PAGE>
* Forward foreign exchange contracts--The Fund is authorized to
enter into forward foreign exchange contracts as a hedge against
either specific transactions or portfolio positions. Such contracts
are not entered  on the Fund's records. However, the effect on opera-
tions is recorded from the date the Fund enters into such contracts.
Premium or discount is amortized over the life of the contracts.

* Foreign currency options and futures--The Fund may also pur-
chase or sell listed or over-the-counter foreign currency options,
foreign currency futures and related options on foreign currency
futures as a short or long hedge against possible variations in
foreign exchange rates. Such transactions may be effected with
respect to hedges on non-US dollar denominated securities owned
by the Fund, sold by the Fund but not yet delivered, or committed
or anticipated to be purchased by the Fund.

* Options--The Fund is authorized to purchase and write call and
put options. When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to
the premium received by the Fund is reflected as an asset and an
equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently
marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.

When a security is sold through an exercise of an option, the related
premium received (or paid) is deducted from (or added to) the
basis of the security sold. When an option expires (or the Fund
enters into a closing transaction), the Fund realizes a gain or loss on
the option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain
or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the
premium paid or received).

Written and purchased options are non-income producing
investments.

* Financial futures contracts--The Fund may purchase or sell
stock index futures contracts and options on such futures contracts.
Upon entering into a contract, the Fund deposits and maintains as
collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which
the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund
agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal
to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or
payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the
Fund as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the
Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between
the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value
at the time it was closed.


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

<PAGE>
(e) Income taxes--It is the Fund's policy to comply with the require-
ments of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated invest-
ment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable
income to its shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provi-
sion is required. Under the applicable foreign tax law, a withholding
tax may be imposed on interest, dividends, and capital gains at
various rates.

(f) Security transactions and investment income--Security trans-
actions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into
(the trade dates). Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
dates except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain divi-
dends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income (including
amortization of discount) is recognized on the accrual basis.
Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined
on the identified cost basis.

(g) Prepaid registration fees--Prepaid registration fees are charged
to expense as the related shares are issued.

(h) Dividends and distributions--Dividends and distributions paid
by the Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend dates.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Transactions
with Affiliates:
The Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with
Merrill Lynch Asset Management, L.P. ("MLAM"). The general
partner of MLAM is Princeton Services, Inc. ("PSI"), an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. ("ML & Co."),
which is the limited partner. The Fund has also entered into a
Distribution Agreement and Distribution Plans with Merrill Lynch
Funds Distributor, Inc. ("MLFD" or "Distributor"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Merrill Lynch Group, Inc.
<PAGE>
MLAM 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 of 0.75%, on an annual
basis, of the average daily value of the Fund's net assets. MLAM has
agreed to waive a portion of its fee payable by the Fund so that such
fee is reduced for average daily net assets of the Fund, in excess of
$2.5 billion from the annual rate of 0.75% to 0.70%, and further
reduced from 0.70% to 0.65% for average daily net assets in excess of
$5 billion. MLAM has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with
Merrill Lynch Asset Management U.K., Ltd. ("MLAM U.K."), an
affiliate of MLAM, pursuant to which MLAM pays MLAM U.K. a fee
computed at the rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the
Fund for providing investment advisory services to MLAM with
respect to the Fund. For the six months ended April 30, 1995, MLAM
paid MLAM U.K. a fee of $3,902,030 pursuant to such agreement.
Certain of the states in which the shares of the Fund are qualified
for sale impose limitations on the expenses of the Fund. The most
restrictive annual expense limitation requires that the Investment
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 next $70
million of average daily net assets, and 1.5% of the average daily net
assets in excess thereof. MLAM's obligation to reimburse the Fund
is limited to the amount of the management fee. No fee payment
will be made to MLAM during any fiscal year which will cause such
expenses to exceed the most restrictive expense limitation at the
time of such payment.

Pursuant to the distribution plans ("the Distribution Plans")
adopted by the Fund in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fund pays the Distributor
ongoing account maintenance and distribution fees. The fees are
accrued daily and paid monthly at annual rates based upon the
average daily net assets of the shares as follows:

<PAGE>
                                Account           Distribution
                            Maintenance Fee           Fee

Class B                          0.25%               0.75%
Class C                          0.25%               0.75%
Class D                          0.25%                 --


Pursuant to a sub-agreement with the Distributor, Merrill Lynch,
Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc. ("MLPF&S"), a subsidiary of ML & Co.,
also provides account maintenance and distribution services to the
Fund. The ongoing account maintenance fee compensates the
Distributor and MLPF&S for providing account maintenance services
to Class B, Class C and Class D shareholders. The ongoing distribu-
tion fee compensates the Distributor and MLPF&S for providing
shareholder and distribution-related services to Class B and
Class C shareholders.

For the six months ended April 30, 1995, MLFD earned under-
writing discounts, and MLPF&S earned dealer concessions on sales
of the Fund's Class A and Class D Shares as follows:


                                          MLFD        MLPF&S

Class D                                 $42,057     $715,431


For the six months ended April 30, 1995, MLPF&S received contin-
gent deferred sales charges of $7,811,791 and $6,328 relating to
transactions in Class B and Class C Shares, respectively.

In addition, MLPF&S received $56,580 in commissions on the
execution of portfolio security transactions for the Fund for the six
months ended April 30, 1995.

Merrill Lynch Financial Data Services, Inc. ("MLFDS"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of ML & Co., is the Fund's transfer agent.
