To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Global Utility Fund, Inc.
In planning and performing our audit of the
financial statements of Global Utility Fund, Inc.
(the "Fund') for the year ended September 30,
1997, we considered its internal control,
including control activities for safeguarding
securities, in order to determine our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our
opinion on the financial statements and to comply
with the requirements of Form N-SAR, not to
provide assurance on internal control.
The management of the Fund is responsible for
establishing and maintaining internal control. In
fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and
judgments by management are required to assess the
expected benefits and related costs of control
activities. Generally, control activities that
are relevant to an audit pertain to the entity's
objective of preparing financial statements for
external purposes that are fairly presented in
conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Those control activities include the
safeguarding of assets against unauthorized
acquisition, use or disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal
control, errors or irregularities may occur and
not be detected. Also, projection of any
evaluation of internal control to future periods
is subject to the risk that it may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions or
that the effectiveness of the design and operation
may deteriorate.
Our consideration of internal control would not
necessarily disclose all matters in internal
control that might be material weaknesses under
standards established by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants. A material weakness
is a condition in which the design or operation of
any specific internal control components does not
reduce to a relatively low level the risk that
errors or irregularities in amounts that would be
material in relation to the financial statements
being audited may occur and not be detected within
a timely period by employees in the normal course
of performing their assigned functions. However,
we noted no matters involving internal control,
including control activities for safeguarding
securities, that we consider to be material
weaknesses as defined above as of September 30,
1997.
This report is intended solely for the information
and use of management and the Board of Directors
of the Fund and the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

We have examined the accompanying description of the
Prudential
Multiple Class Pricing Worksheet (the "Worksheet")
application of
State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street"),
custodian and
recordkeeper for the Prudential Mutual Funds (the "Funds").
Our
examination included procedures to obtain reasonable
assurance about
whether (1) the accompanying description presents fairly, in
all
material respects, the aspects of State Street's policies
and
procedures that may be relevant to a Fund's internal control
structure
relating to the Worksheet, (2) the control structure
policies and
procedures included in the description were suitably
designed to
achieve the control objectives specified in the description,
if those
policies and procedures were complied with satisfactorily,
and (3)
such policies and procedures had been placed in operation as
of
June 30, 1996. The control objectives were specified by
Prudential
Mutual Fund Management, Inc. Our examination was performed
in
accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of
Certified Public Accountants and included those procedures
we
considered necessary in the circumstances to obtain a
reasonable basis
for rendering our opinion.
In our opinion, the accompanying description of the
aforementioned
application presents fairly, in all material respects, the
relevant
aspects of State Street's policies and procedures that had
been placed
in operation as of June 30, 1996. Also, in our opinion, the
policies
and procedures, as described, are suitably designed to
provide
reasonable assurance that the specified control objectives
would be
achieved if the described policies and procedures were
complied with
satisfactorily.
In addition to the procedures we considered necessary to
render our
opinion as expressed in the previous paragraph, we applied
tests to
specific policies and procedures, listed in Section I, to
obtain
evidence about their effectiveness in meeting the control
objectives,
described in Section I during the period from July 1, 1995
to June 30,
1996. The nature, timing, extent, and results of the tests
are listed
in Section II. In our opinion the policies and procedures
that were
tested, as described in Section II, were operating with
sufficient
effectiveness to provide reasonable, but not absolute,
assurance that
the control objectives specified in Section I were achieved
during the
period from July 1, 1995 to June 30, 1996. However, the
scope of our
engagement did not include tests to determine whether
control
objectives not listed in Section I were achieved;
accordingly we
express no opinion on the achievement of control objectives
not
included in Section I.
The relative effectiveness and significance of specific
policies and
procedures at State Street, and their effect on assessments
of control
risk on the Funds are dependent on their interaction with
the
policies, procedures, and other factors present at
individual Funds.
We have performed no procedures to evaluate the
effectiveness of
policies and procedures at individual Funds in connection
with this
report.
The description of policies and procedures at State Street
is as of
June 30, 1996, and information about tests of the operating
effectiveness of specified policies and procedures covers
the period
from July 1, 1995 to June 30, 1996. Any projection of such
information to the future is subject to the risk that,
because of
change, the description may no longer portray the system in
existence.
The potential effectiveness of specified policies and
procedures at
State Street is subject to inherent limitations and,
accordingly,
errors or irregularities may occur and not be detected.
Furthermore,
the projection of any conclusions, based on our findings, to
future
periods is subject to the risk that changes may alter the
validity of
such conclusions.
This report is intended solely for use by the management and
Boards of
Directors/Trustees of the Funds, the independent auditors of
the Funds
and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

SECTION I
Policies and Procedures Placed in
Operation
Prudential Multiple Class Pricing
Worksheet
The Prudential Mutual Funds (the "Funds") have adopted a
multiple
class pricing system. The multiple class pricing system
consists of
four classes of shares (Class A, Class B, Class C and Class
Z). Class
A shares are subject to an initial sales charge, Class B and
Class C
shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge and
Class Z
shares have no sales charge (Class Z shares which were first
offered
on March 1, 1996, are offered exclusively for sale to the
PSI Pension
Plan). Each of the classes of shares represent interests in
the same
portfolio of investments of the respective Fund and are
identical in
all respects, except that each class is subject to different
distribution expenses and has exclusive voting rights with
respect to
the Rule 12b-1 distribution plan pursuant to which such
distribution
expenses are paid.
In order to allocate income and expenses among the classes
of shares,
State Street Bank and Trust Company (the Funds' custodian
and
recordkeeper) utilizes the Prudential Multiple Class Pricing
Worksheet
(the "Worksheet") (see Exhibit I). The Worksheet is a
manual
supplementary application that extracts relevant data from
the Funds'
primary accounting system, allocates income and expenses
among the
classes of shares and computes the daily net asset value
and, if
applicable, the dividend/distribution for each class of
shares.
Internal accounting controls that are relevant to the Fund
can be
divided into two components - controls related to the mutual
fund
accounting system resident at State Street Bank and Trust
Company (the
"primary accounting system") and controls related to the
Worksheet.
The specific control objectives and policies and procedures
relating
to the Worksheet are described on pages 4 and 5. A
description of the
tests of the policies and procedures designed to obtain
evidence about
the operating effectiveness of those policies and procedures
in
achieving the specific control objectives is included in
Section II.
Control Objectives and Policies and
Procedures
Prudential Multiple Class Pricing
Worksheet
The Worksheet is a supplementary manual application to the
Funds'
primary accounting system. Certain data is extracted from
the primary
accounting system to allocate income and expenses and to
calculate the
daily net asset value and, if applicable,
dividends/distributions for
each class of shares. The primary accounting system
includes the
details of transactions in accordance with the Investment
Company Act
of 1940, as amended.
The following represents the internal accounting control
objectives
and policies and procedures for the allocation of income and
expenses
and the computation of the net asset value and, if
applicable, the
dividend/distribution for each class of shares utilizing the
Worksheet. It does not cover the internal accounting
control policies
and procedures surrounding the processing of information
into the
Funds' primary accounting system.

SECTION II
Tests of Operating Effectiveness
Prudential Multiple Class Pricing
Worksheet
July 1, 1995 to June 30, 1996
We reviewed the methodology and procedures for calculating
the daily
net asset value and, if applicable, the
dividends/distributions of the
classes of shares and the allocation of income and expenses
among the
classes of shares.
The following are the detailed procedures which we performed
with
respect to the Worksheet. These procedures were performed
for
selected days encompassing all Funds subject to multiple
class pricing
during the year ended June 30, 1996, which we believe is a
representative sample, to test compliance with the control
policies
and procedures as described in Section I.

and has represented to us that adequate facilities are in
place to
ensure implementation of the methodology and procedures for
calculating the net asset value and dividends/distributions
of the
classes of shares and the allocation of income and expenses
among the
classes of shares. Based on our review of the description
of the
policies and procedures of the Worksheet, as described in
Section I,
and performance of tests of operating effectiveness as
described in
Section II, we concur with such representation.
