DEAR SHAREHOLDERS

Following a difficult 1994--one of the
worst years in history for global bond
markets--the first three months of 1995
were marked by bond market rallies.
However, another trend of 1994, the
declining value of the US dollar relative
to the Deutschemark and the yen, has
not been reversed. Nominal and real
short-term interest rates continue to
favor the Deutschemark and the yen.

So far, in 1995 the US dollar has
plunged to new historical lows versus
both currencies. Despite evidence a
"soft landing" may be possible (a devel-
opment that would be positive for the
US dollar), fears that the Federal
Reserve Board has not acted quickly or
forcefully enough to prevent a cyclical
rise in inflation helped undermine the
dollar.
<PAGE>
Additional factors in 1995 that placed
tremendous pressure on the US dollar
include the continued painful economic
repercussions from the Mexican crisis
and peso devaluation, investor anxiety
over political uncertainty in several
European nations, which boosted the
Deutschemark's "safe haven" appeal,
further reductions of foreign reserves
held in dollars, and significant repatri-
ation of yen by Japanese investors.

The US economy slowed from its torrid
fourth quarter 1994 pace as real gross
domestic product rose 5.1%. However,
this appears to be only temporary. The
negative impact from Mexico's recession
is apparently being concentrated in the
first half of 1995, while household
spending is slowing, reflecting payback
from the past quarter's strength and
delayed income tax refunds. Given solid
employment and income growth and
the substantial decline in interest rates
and the US dollar during the March
quarter, growth is likely to pick up
again during the second half of the
year. Stronger growth along with build-
ing inflationary pressures should pres-
sure the Federal Reserve Board to
resume its monetary tightening.

Outside of the United States, in Canada,
economic activity should surpass the
United States', as it did last year.
However, inflation should be broadly
similar as 1994's tax-related drop falls
out of yearly comparisons. In Australia,
growth is cooling and could move
slightly below potential while inflation
is set to rise above 3%. The critical
issue near term is the May 9, 1995
budget, which is set against a mildly
slowing economy and a deteriorating
current account deficit.
<PAGE>
European activity looks set to remain
fairly strong this year although some
payback early in the year is expected
after the fourth quarter surge. The
continent embarked on a capital spend-
ing boom, which should support growth
throughout the year. Although con-
sumers remain hesitant, the positive
effects from the corporate sector's
increased hiring should boost house-
hold spending. Meanwhile, rapidly
rising prices at the production level,
which is most pronounced in the
countries with high-yielding bond mar-
kets, and a surprisingly generous wage
settlement in Germany brought infla-
tion concerns quickly to the forefront.
The unexpected reduction in Germany's
interest rates on March 30, 1995 greatly
reduced the anxiety level associated
with the high-debtor countries, possibly
allowing some breathing room in their
attempt to improve their fiscal posi-
tions. This window of opportunity may
prove to be short-lived.

In the aftermath of 1994's turbulent
domestic, international, financial and
political events, emerging market asset
performance continued to languish
during the first quarter of 1995. How-
ever, by the end of the March quarter,
renewed investor confidence in the
viability of both the Mexican and
Argentine economic adjustment pro-
grams combined with a sustained rally
in the US market, led to noticeable
improvements from record lows experi-
enced in early March 1995.

The unmanaged JP Morgan Latin
American Eurobond Index declined by
10.8% during the quarter ended March
31, 1995. We maintained our prudent
management of the Fund's emerging
market portfolio by concentrating on
strong credit quality issuers. However,
the Fund's performance was affected by
the noticeable downturn in the market.
Therefore, the emerging market portion
of the portfolio declined approximately
8.5%. We utilized the quarter-end price
improvement to reduce the Fund's
exposure by 10%.
<PAGE>
Global Outlook & Strategy
During the March quarter, all major
markets recorded positive total returns
led by Japan, the Dollar bloc countries
(the United States, Canada, Australia
and New Zealand) and Europe. The US
dollar set new historical lows versus
the Japanese yen and Deutschemark.

The rally in the Dollar bloc countries
was initially led by the United States
following January data suggesting a
cooling in the economic activity pace.
The main catalyst was the December
retail sales report which showed broad-
based weakness, followed by Federal
Reserve Board Chairman Greenspan's
comments at his Humphrey-Hawkins
testimony, which suggested strongly
that the Federal Reserve Board may be
"on hold," instead of raising interest
rates, during the next few months. The
Canadian market slightly outperformed
(in local currency terms) the US market
because of a credible budget presented
in late February and a stable currency.
Australia was hindered by a sharp drop
in its currency and some concern that
the upcoming budget may not be suf-
ficiently restrictive. European markets
were fairly quiet up until mid-February
when a surging Deutschemark along
with a much worse-than-expected
inflation figure in Italy caused havoc in
the high-yield markets of Italy, Spain
and Sweden. As Italian 10-year interest
rates rose 100 basis points, the lira
weakened sharply and the peseta
devalued 7%.
<PAGE>
During the March quarter, we main-
tained our exposure to the US high yield
market (including convertible securi-
ties) at 50% of net assets, while reduc-
ing our European exposure by 2% and
establishing positions in Australia. We
eliminated the Swedish position and
reduced the United Kingdom exposure.
Given the value in the Italian market
and the relatively short average matu-
rity of our holdings we have not
reduced our position, although our
confidence decreased. Looking ahead,
the Deutschemark strength and the
recent German interest rate reductions
are likely to keep the Bundesbank's
monetary policy on hold well into the
third quarter, which should allow some
relief to the higher-yielding bond mar-
kets, as well as some respite from
recent interest rate hikes.

From a currency perspective, we raised
the Fund's exposure to European
currency movements because of the
US dollar's reversal during the March
quarter. Given the Fund's objective of
high current income, we have a bias
toward the higher-yielding European
markets. The Fund did fully benefit
from the US dollar's decline since
year-end 1994 as these currencies
severely underperformed the Deutsche-
mark. We believe the US dollar remains
at risk during the next few months
given the likelihood of no further
Federal Reserve Board monetary
tightening.

High-Yield Market
We continued to allocate approximately
45% of net assets to the US high-yield
market because we believe that the
positive fundamentals relating to credit
risk make high-yield likely to outper-
form US Treasury and high-grade corpo-
rate securities. In addition we allocated
5% of assets to fixed-income securities
convertible into common stocks. Many
attractive values emerged in 1994 as
the equity investors struggled with
rising interest rates. We feel that this
relatively moderate allocation to con-
vertibles will contribute to total return
while providing more overall portfolio
stability. Convertibles are less highly
correlated with interest rates than the
other asset categories within the
portfolio.
<PAGE>
The high-yield portion of the portfolio
was well-positioned for the improved
market conditions. During the quarter
ended March 31, 1995, BB-rated issues
outperformed B-rated issues as the
Fund was overweighted in BB-rated
issues. Various mergers and acquisi-
tions, and positive events relating to
specific issues, had a positive impact
on investment results. For example,
USAir Inc.'s agreement with its pilot
union on wage and work rule conces-
sions contributed to a sharp rise in that
company's bonds. Del Monte Corp.
bond prices surged on news that the
company would receive new equity
investments. Continental Medical
Systems, Inc. bonds rallied in response
to the news that it would merge with
the more conservatively capitalized
Horizon Healthcare. A number of initial
public offerings also occurred in
the first quarter. Fort Howard Corp. and
Uniroyal Chemical Co. issued stock and
used the proceeds to retire debt and
improve credit quality.

The high-yield market outlook appears
positive over the next six months. We
expect stable short-term interest rates.
In addition, we look for continued
reequitization of balance sheets through
equity issuance and merger and a
downward rift in long-term interest
rates and acquisition activity. Good
corporate profits should continue to
support credit quality fundamentals.
Certain industries such as paper and
airlines should continue to benefit
from strong earnings.

We anticipate that there will be contin-
ued strong cash flows into high-yield
funds. In the first quarter of 1995, net
inflows were reported to be $2.7 billion,
and the trend may accelerate. We also
expect adequate valuations since high-
yield bonds are not cheap by historic
standards. However, given the strong
positive fundamentals, yield spreads
should remain relatively stable. In the
March quarter, valuations improved as
Treasury yields declined more than
high-yield bonds, causing the yield
premium of the Merrill Lynch Master
Index II to widen to 51.7% compared to
45% at December 31, 1994.
<PAGE>
Convertible securities performed well
during the first quarter of 1995, benefit-
ing from both lower interest rates and
higher stock prices. The airline indus-
try was heavily weighted in the con-
vertible sector of the Fund and did
particularly well. Airline holdings in-
cluded AMR Corp., Delta Air Lines, Inc.
and UAL Corp. The Fund also benefited
from exposure to industrial and cyclical
companies such as Albany Interna-
tional Corp., Cooper Industries, Inc.,
Interface Inc., James River Corp., and
Wilcox & Gibbs Inc. Pollution control
companies such as Allied Waste Indus-
tries, Inc., Sanifill Inc. and USA Waste
Services Inc. also did well during the
March quarter because of fundamental
improvement in this sector. Prices
improved somewhat in the regional
banks and homebuilder convertible
securities.

Late last year the convertible sector
of the Fund contained about 50% defen-
sive positions such as high-premium
convertibles and convertible arbitrage
positions, and 50% was offensively posi-
tioned using higher yielding low pre-
mium convertibles. At March 31, 1995,
the Fund's convertible portion was
90% offensively positioned and 10%
defensively positioned. This allows
the Fund to benefit should current
interest rate and stock market trends
continue.

In Conclusion
We appreciate your ongoing investment
in Merrill Lynch World Income Fund,
Inc., and we look forward to reviewing
our outlook and strategy with you again
in our upcoming semi-annual report to
shareholders.

Sincerely,

Performance data for the Fund's Class A and Class B Shares are
presented in the "Performance Summary" and "Average Annual
Total Return" tables on pages 5 and 6. "Aggregate Total Return"
tables for Class C and Class D Shares are also presented on page
5. Data for all of the Fund's shares, including Class C and
Class D Shares, are presented in the "Recent Performance
Results" table on page 6.
<PAGE>
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
March 31, 1995 and for Class C and Class D Shares for the since
inception and 3-month periods ended March 31, 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 represen-
tation 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.
