DEAR SHAREHOLDER


Around the world signs are emerging of a revival in economic growth
caused largely by the drop in world interest rates in 1995. These
signs are clearly evident in Japan and visible in the United States.
In Europe, indicators point to the end of the severe economic
weakness, but the persistence of tight monetary and fiscal policies
since the 1993 recession seriously hampered the domestic recovery.
One of the key issues now facing central banks and fixed-income
investors is whether growth will accelerate sufficiently to push
short-term interest rates and inflation higher. The Group of Seven
(G-7) industrial nations supply growth accelerated since hitting a
15-year low in early 1995 indicating that the reflationary policies
implemented last year are boosting liquidity. Although this will be
positive for economic growth if it continues, G-7 industrial
production continues to decline, spare capacity is still growing,
and inflation remains subdued.

The surge in US employment in February suggests a sharp bounce in
first quarter 1996 activity relative to the below potential rate of
+0.5% posted in fourth quarter 1995. Therefore the Federal Reserve
Board did not lower interest rates again at its Federal Open Market
Committee meeting. However, at the January meeting members stated
that the risks of a shortfall in growth were believed to be
significant. Given this concern and the subdued nature of the
leading indicators of inflation, the Federal Reserve Board may be
able to tolerate above trend growth over the near term.

In Europe, monetary reflation efforts accelerated with the
Bundesbank further reducing the key repurchase rate another 68 basis
points (0.68%) after the more than 100 basis point drop last year.
European growth remains weak, especially in Germany and France,
ensuring that the Bundesbank will remain in an easing mode while
continuing to talk down its currency to improve competitiveness.
Leading indicators point to slowing in the Australian economy,
albeit on a gradual basis, while inflation appears likely to have
hit its cyclical peak in the fourth quarter of 1995. Canadian growth
remained below potential for five consecutive quarters, which along
with declining inflation, allowed the Bank of Canada to lower
interest rates while the Federal Reserve Board's monetary policy was
on hold. Signs of Canadian growth have emerged largely because of
these interest rate declines, likely allowing for a first half
growth that should match the trend in other countries.

Investment Outlook & Portfolio
Strategy
The global bond markets have displayed two faces so far this year,
with the latest leg of the 1995 bull market continuing through
January followed by a reversal in February and a small recovery in
March. Six of the 13 markets in the unmanaged JP Morgan Global Index
showed a negative total return in local currency terms, while only
four markets showed a positive return in US dollar terms. The Fund's
overweighted position in three of these four markets combined with
its overweighting in the US high-yield market allowed it to post a
+1.4% return for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

The US bond market reversed sharply to the downside in February
largely because of an enormous new issuance calendar set against a
background of already recognized positive fundamentals. Federal
Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan compounded matters in early
February by suggesting growth is "on track" during congressional
testimony, causing the market to immediately price out the
likelihood of another imminent Federal Reserve Board monetary
easing. Europe posted a modest positive return in local currency
terms so far this year largely because of stellar performances from
Italy, Sweden and Spain. This is unusual because historically when
Germany and the United States sold off in tandem, the higher-
yielding European markets underperformed. Overweight positions in
Germany coupled with better-than-expected inflation led to this
outperformance. The momentum driving emerging markets since mid-1995
continued into 1996. The combination of lower US interest rates and
the prospect of stable-to-improving fundamentals supported gains
this year. Although the emerging markets suffered sharply during the
February/March selloff in the United States, the unmanaged JP Morgan
Emerging Bond Index posted a +4% return.

Since year-end, the portfolio mix of dollar bloc investments
(Canada, Australia and New Zealand) relative to our European
holdings shifted slightly, with the dollar bloc up 4% and Europe
down 4%. Within the dollar bloc we moved our New Zealand position
into Australia and the United States at 1% each, while initiating a
2% position in Canada. We also initiated a modest Brady Bond sub-
portfolio within the emerging markets portfolio with investments in
Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, Ecuador, Poland, and the Philippines. In
Europe, we moved our Swedish position into Germany and reduced Italy
and Spain in favor of Denmark. The average maturity of the portfolio
was unchanged at 6.9 years although we used the rise in yields to
extend duration in Denmark with an offsetting reduction in Italy.
From a currency perspective, our overweighted position in the
Italian lira and Australian dollar benefited the Fund because these
currencies appreciated over 4% versus the US dollar. We believe the 
sharp decline in bond prices since January has likely corrected the
bond markets' overvaluation, therefore we do not expect a continuation
of the downtrend beyond the recent lows. With regards to currency 
movements, the relatively better growth outlook for the United States
coupled with a G-7 desire to see the dollar firm could keep a solid 
floor under the US dollar for now. In addition, we believe any formal
delay in the timetable for European Monetary Union will not be 
announced this year.
<PAGE>
High-Yield Market
The high-yield bond market gave ground grudgingly in the face of a
major drop in Government bonds and high-grade bonds prices. Ten-year
Treasury bond yields rose over 0.75%; high-yield bond yields were up
only 0.125%--0.25%. Thus, yield spreads between the two markets
tightened significantly. The yield spread between ten-year Treasury
bonds and the unmanaged Merrill Lynch High Yield Master Index II at
December 31, 1995 was 420 basis points compared to 361 basis points
at March 31, 1996. The unsynchronous performance of the two markets
is not surprising. While high-yield bonds have a coupon and maturity
date like Government bonds, the supply and demand characteristics of
the two markets are different. In addition, high-yield bonds possess
credit risk and investor perception toward credit risk changes. The
table below reflects the correlation of investment returns of US
Treasury notes with other financial asset categories for the 1980--
1995 period. A perfect correlation would be 1.0 and no correlation
would be 0.

                                                Correlation With
                                                US Treasury Notes
Equity Indexes

Standard & Poor's 500                                      0.29

Wiltshire 5000                                             0.29

High Yield Index                                           0.60

Bond Indexes

High Quality Corporate                                     0.93

Mortgage Index                                             0.91

The internal dynamics of the high-yield market included a tightening
in spreads between quality groups as issues rated BB had a total
return of 0.28%, compared to a +2.67% return for B-rated issues. We
believe that BB- rated issues were somewhat overvalued in 1995
because of their close link with high grades and that the first
quarter correction brings them into a more appropriate valuation
relationship. During the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the
portfolio's return benefited from higher exposure to better
performing B-rated bonds (56.5% of net assets) versus the unmanaged
Merrill Lynch Master II Index (47.3%).
<PAGE>
The fundamentals of the high-yield market remain sound, although
valuation is somewhat extended. Assets continued to flow into mutual
funds and liquidity remains ample. However, the market may well
underperform Treasury notes and other asset categories modestly in
the upcoming quarter. Accordingly, we committed assets
unaggressively and during periods of market weakness. The Fund's
allocation to the high-yield market was reduced during the quarter
ended March 31, 1996 from 45% of net assets to 40%.

The average portfolio maturity of the high-yield section of Merrill
Lynch World Income Fund, Inc. was 8.5 years. The Fund's high-yield
sector remained broadly diversified with 63 issuers in 22 different
business categories. Major industry sectors included: energy, 4.1%
of net assets; utilities, 2.8%; paper, 2.8%; conglomerates, 2.8%;
food & beverage, 2.7%; and airlines, 2.7%.
