LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholder:
    At the end of your Fund's semi-annual period on March 31, 1995, the
closing market price was $9.375 and the net asset value was $9.96. As we have
discussed in previous letters, the volatility in the market price does not
necessarily have a direct correlation to the underlying net asset value. This
was demonstrated during the six-month period as the market price moved
between $8.50 and $10.00 and the net asset value between $9.46 and $9.96.
    The portfolio currently has a basically defensive posture, with its
primary focus on income; it currently holds approximately 4% in derivatives.
During the six-month reporting period, income dividends of approximately $.30
per share were paid, which translated into an annualized distribution rate
per share of 6.40% based on the March 31, 1995 closing market price, adjusted
for capital gain distributions of $.0071. As has been true from the Fund's
inception, all interest income paid to you has been exempt from Federal, New
York State and New York City personal income taxes.*
    Interest rates rose dramatically during 1994. The Federal Reserve Board,
in its effort to control inflation, has raised the Federal funds rate seven
times since February of 1994. The effect of this tightening brought long-term
Treasury yields to approximately 8.15% in November of 1994.
    The New York market was particularly hurt by the upturn in rates during
1994. New York City, in particular, had the early stages of its recovery
curtailed by higher rates and the subsequent loss of employment in the
financial sector. Even the new Governor has not been able to change New York
State's annual budget stalemate, as we enter our 11th fiscal year without a
budget in place and with major economic problems that have to be addressed.
    During the first quarter of 1995, interest rates experienced a
substantial reversal. The change in market perception has also been
significant. While many economists continued to focus on higher rates, the
market fundamentals reacted to signs of a slowing economy, and the
fixed-income markets began a considerable recovery. Since the beginning of
the year, the municipal market has regained most of the loss that it
experienced during 1994.
    Indications of a slower, but not recessionary, economy brought fixed
income markets to their current levels. While no one can predict the future,
we currently believe that the Mexican crisis, pressure on the dollar and a
general worldwide slowing are likely to keep fixed-income markets near these
levels for the balance of the year. In addition, municipals continue to face
a lack of supply and a continuing loss of high coupon paper due to
pre-refundings and active calls. These technical factors should give relative
stability to the tax exempt market. Of course, we will be monitoring the
situation to see what develops.
    We have enclosed a current Statement of Investments and recent financial
statements for your review. We greatly appreciate your investment in the Fund
and look forward to serving your investment needs in the future.
                              Very truly yours,
                              (logo Signature)

DREYFUS NEW YORK MUNICIPAL INCOME, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
    The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Act")
as a non-diversified closed-end management investment company.  The Dreyfus
Corporation ("Manager") serves as the Fund's investment adviser. The Manager
is a direct subsidiary of Mellon Bank, N.A.
    (A) PORTFOLIO VALUATION: Investments in municipal debt securities
(excluding options and financial futures on municipal and U.S. treasury
securities) are valued on the last business day of each week and month by an
independent pricing service ("Service") approved by the Board of Directors.
Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are
representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service
are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the
Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by
the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities).
Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities)
are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods
which include consideration of: yields or prices of municipal securities of
comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from
dealers; and general market conditions. Options and financial futures on
municipal and U.S. treasury securities are valued at the last sales price on
the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at
the last sales price on the national securities market on the last business
day of each week and month. Investments not listed on an exchange or the
national securities market, or securities for which there were no
transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked
prices. Bid price is used when no asked price is available.
    (B) SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Securities
transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss from
securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest
income adjusted for amortization of premiums and original issue discounts on
investments is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual
basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery
basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.
    The Fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal
obligations of one state. Economic changes affecting the state and certain of
its public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within
the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations
held by the Fund.
    (C) DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Dividends from investment income-net are declared and paid monthly.
Dividends from net realized capital gain are declared and paid at least
annually. To the extent that net realized capital gain can be offset by
capital loss carryovers, if any, it is the policy of the Fund not to
distribute such gain.
    For shareholders who elect to receive their distributions in additional
shares of the Fund, in lieu of cash, such distributions will be reinvested at
the lower of the market price or net asset value per share (but not less than
95% of the market price) based on the record date's respective prices. If the
net asset value per share on the record date is lower than the market price
per share, shares will be issued by the Fund at the record date's net asset
value on the payable date of the distribution. If the net asset value per
share is less than 95% of market value, shares will be issued by the Fund at
95% of market value. If the market price is lower than the net asset value
per share on the record date, Mellon Bank, N.A. will purchase Fund shares in
the open market commencing on the payable date, and reinvest those shares
accordingly. As a result of purchasing Fund shares in the open market, Fund
shares outstanding will not be affected by this form of reinvestment.
    On March 30, 1995, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of
$.05 per share from investment income-net, payable on April 28, 1995 to
shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 13, 1995.

</TABLE>

    (E) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the policy of the Fund to continue to
qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax exempt
dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital
gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all Federal income and
excise taxes.
NOTE 2--MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES:
    (A) Pursuant to a management agreement ("Agreement") with the Manager,
the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .70 of 1% of the average
weekly value of the Fund's net assets and is payable monthly. The Agreement
provides for an expense reimbursement from the Manager should the Fund's
aggregate expenses, exclusive of taxes, interest on borrowings, brokerage and
extraordinary expenses, exceed the expense limitation of any state having
jurisdiction over the Fund for any full fiscal year. There was no expense
reimbursement for the six months ended March 31, 1995.
    (B) Prior to August 24, 1994, certain officers and directors, and prior
to February 1, 1995, certain officers, of the Fund were "affiliated persons,"
as defined in the Act, of the Manager and/or Dreyfus Service Corporation.
Each director who is not an "affiliated person" receives an annual fee of
$2,500 and an attendance fee of $250 per meeting. The Chairman of the Board
receives an additional 25% of such compensation.
NOTE 3--SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS:
    The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities
amounted to $5,745,068 and $5,599,983, respectively, for the six months ended
March 31, 1995, and consisted entirely of long-term and short-term municipal
investments.
    At March 31, 1995, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments
was $2,392,097, consisting of $2,447,581 gross unrealized appreciation and
$55,484 gross unrealized depreciation.
    At March 31, 1995, the cost of investments for Federal income tax
purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting
purposes (see the Statement of Investments).
DREYFUS NEW YORK MUNICIPAL INCOME, INC.
REVIEW REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS
DREYFUS NEW YORK MUNICIPAL INCOME, INC.
    We have reviewed the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Dreyfus New York Municipal Income, Inc., including the statement of
investments, as of March 31, 1995, and the related statements of operations
and changes in net assets and financial highlights for the six month period
ended March 31, 1995. These financial statements and financial highlights are
the responsibility of the Fund's management.
    We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures
to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which
will be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an
opinion regarding the financial statements and financial highlights taken as
a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
    Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the interim financial statements and financial highlights
referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
    We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the statement of changes in net assets for the year ended
September 30, 1994 and financial highlights for each of the five years in the
period ended September 30, 1994 and in our report dated November 4, 1994, we
expressed an unqualified opinion on such statement of changes in net assets
and financial highlights.
