(a)  Securities issued in reliance on Section (4) 2 or Rule 144A of the 
Securities Act of 1933. Rule 144A securities may be resold in transactions 
exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At April 
30, 1998, these securities amounted to $142,395,355, representing 8.1% of net 
assets on the Prime Portfolio, and $20,639,518, representing 5.3% of net assets 
on the Trust Portfolio.

(b)  Funding agreements are illiquid securities subject to restrictions as to 
resale. These securities amounted to $70,000,000, representing 4.0% of net 
assets on the Prime Portfolio, and $15,000,000, representing 3.8% of net assets 
on the Trust Portfolio (see Note A to the financial statements).

(c)  Repurchase agreement which is terminable within 7 days.

(d)  Variable Rate Demand Notes (VRDN) are instruments whose interest rates 
change on a specified date (such as a coupon date or interest payment date) or 
whose interest rates vary with changes in a designated base rate (such as the 
prime interest rate). These instruments are payable on demand and are secured 
by letters of credit or other credit support agreements from major banks. 
Periodic Put Bonds (PPB) are payable on demand quarterly, semi-annually or 
annually and their interest rates change less frequently than rates on Variable 
Rate Demand Notes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 1998                                       ACM INSTITUTIONAL RESERVES
_______________________________________________________________________________

NOTE A: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ACM Institutional Reserves, Inc. (the "Fund") is registered under the 
Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment company. The Fund 
operates as a series company currently consisting of four Portfolios: Prime 
Portfolio, Government Portfolio, Tax-Free Portfolio and Trust Portfolio. Each 
Portfolio is considered to be a separate entity for financial reporting and tax 
purposes. As a matter of fundamental policy, each Portfolio pursues its 
objectives by maintaining a portfolio of high-quality money market securities 
all of which, at the time of investment, have remaining maturities of 397 days 
or less. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make 
certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets 
and liabilities in the financial statements and amounts of income and expenses 
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the 
Fund.

1. VALUATION OF SECURITIES
Securities in which the Fund invests are traded primarily in the 
over-the-counter market and are valued at amortized cost, under which method a 
portfolio instrument is valued at cost and any premium or discount is amortized 
on a constant basis to maturity. Certain illiquid securities containing 
unconditional par puts are also valued at amortized cost. Amortization of 
premium is charged to income. Accretion of market discount is credited to 
unrealized gain.

2. TAXES
It is the Fund's policy to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code 
applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its 
investment company taxable income and net realized gains, if any, to its 
shareholders. Therefore, no provisions for federal income or excise taxes are 
required.

3. INVESTMENT INCOME AND INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Interest income is accrued daily. Investment transactions are recorded on the 
date securities are purchased or sold. Investment gains and losses are 
determined on the identified cost basis. 

4. DIVIDENDS
The Fund declares dividends daily from net investment income and automatically 
reinvests such dividends in additional shares at net asset value. Net realized 
capital gains on investments, if any, are expected to be distributed near year 
end. Dividends paid by Tax-Free Portfolio from net investment income for the 
year ended April 30, 1998 are exempt from federal income taxes. However, 
certain shareholders may be subject to the alternative minimum tax.

5. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
It is the Fund's policy to take possession of securities as collateral under 
repurchase agreements and to determine on a daily basis that the value of such 
securities are sufficient to cover the value of the repurchase agreements.


NOTE B: ADVISORY FEE AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AN AFFILIATE OF THE ADVISER
Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays Alliance 
Capital Management L.P., (the "Adviser"), an advisory fee at the annual rate of 
 .20% of average daily net assets for the Prime, Government and Tax-Free 
Portfolios and .45% of average daily net assets for the Trust Portfolio. The 
Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Prime, Government and Tax-Free Portfolios 
to the extent that their annual aggregate operating expenses (excluding taxes, 
brokerage, interest and, where permitted, extraordinary expenses) exceed .20% 
of their average daily net assets for any fiscal year, and with respect to the 
Trust Portfolio, from May 1, 1997 to July 13, 1997 for expenses exceeding .45% 
of its average daily net assets and from July 14, 1997 to April 30, 1998 for 
expenses exceeding .50% of its average daily net assets. For the year ended 
April 30, 1998, reimbursement was $562,608, $243,394, $205,077 and $128,100 for 
the Prime, Government, Tax-Free and Trust Portfolios, respectively. 

Each Portfolio compensates Alliance Fund Services, Inc., a wholly-owned 
subsidiary of the Adviser, under a Transfer Agency Agreement for providing 
personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services. Such compensation 
for the Prime, Government, Tax-Free and Trust Portfolios, for the year ended 
April 30, 1998, was $18,000 per Portfolio.


NOTE C: INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
At April 30, 1998, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was 
the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes for all Portfolios. For 
federal income tax purposes, the Prime Portfolio had a capital loss 
carryforward available to offset future gains at April 30, 1998 of $183,720, of 
which $1,293 expires in 1999, $3,535 in 2000, $6,777 in 2001, $29,045 in 2002,

$274,591,724 on Government Portfolio, $293,847,141 on Tax-Free Portfolio, and

(c)  Capital contributed by the Adviser had no material effect on net asset

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT                         ACM INSTITUTIONAL RESERVES
_______________________________________________________________________________

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS ACM INSTITUTIONAL RESERVES, INC.

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of ACM Institutional 
Reserves--Prime, Government, Tax-Free and Trust Portfolios as of April 30, 1998 
and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets, and financial 
highlights for the periods indicated in the accompanying financial statements. 
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of 
the Portfolios' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on 
these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain 
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial 
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a 
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial 
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of 
April 30, 1998 by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes 
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by 
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to 
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ACM 
Institutional Reserves--Prime, Government, Tax-Free and Trust Portfolios as of 
April 30, 1998, and the results of their operations, changes in their net 
assets, and financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles.
