TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS:
For the six-month period ended September 30, 1994, CMA Pennsylvania
Municipal Money Fund paid shareholders a net annualized yield of
2.23%*. As of September 30, 1994, the Fund's 7-day yield was 2.79%.
The Environment
Concerns of increasing inflationary pressures continued to prompt
volatility in the US stock and bond markets during the July--
September period. In addition, the weakness of the US dollar in
foreign exchange markets caused intermittent stock and bond market
declines during the period. While the immediate concerns regarding
the US dollar had diminished by late July, the possibility of
continued tightening by the Federal Reserve Board persisted for most
of the period. However, a lower-than-expected rate of growth
reported for the US economy during the second calendar quarter
allayed inflationary concerns to some degree, despite the fifth
increase this year in short-term interest rates made by the central
bank in mid-August. Inflationary expectations surfaced again with
the announcement of significant upward revision in industrial
production and capacity utilization for the May--July period. When
the central bank did not raise short-term interest rates at the late
September Federal Open Market Committee meeting, financial markets
rallied on the expectation that the US economy was not overheating
and therefore significant further monetary policy tightening would
not be necessary.
Despite the stronger-than-expected industrial production results,
other economic data suggest that while the economic recovery is
continuing, it is losing some momentum. Consumer spending is
increasing, but at a relatively slow pace, and existing home sales
may have peaked. Inflation remains subdued at the retail level. In
the industrial sector, the sharp increase in manufacturing
production in August was largely the result of a strong increase in
motor vehicle assemblies, which may level off in the weeks ahead. On
balance, it appears that the growth in US industry is progressing at
a steady, modest rate.

*Based on a constant investment throughout the period, with
dividends compounded daily, and reflecting a net return to the
investor after all expenses.
Despite evidence of a moderating trend in the US economy, Chairman
Greenspan indicated in his July Humphrey-Hawkins testimony that the
central bank would prefer to err on the side of too much monetary
tightening rather than too little. In the weeks ahead, investors
will continue to assess economic data and inflationary trends in
order to gauge whether further increases in short-term interest
rates are imminent. Continued indications of moderate and
sustainable levels of economic growth would be positive for the US
capital markets.

Investment Outlook and Strategy
During the six-month period ended September 30, 1994, the US economy
continued to surprise investors with its resiliency. Manufacturing
provided a strong catalyst for growth, and continued strength in
housing and automobile sales also provided the impetus for the
Federal Reserve Board to continue the restrictive monetary policy
initiated in February. This was accomplished by raising the Federal
Funds rate by 25 basis points (0.25%) to 3.75% in April, with more
aggressive 50 basis point increases in May and August to its current
rate of 4.75%. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board raised the
discount rate by 50 basis points in both May and August.
Additionally, during the period the yield on the one-year US
Treasury bill rose approximately 155 points to 5.95% by September
30, 1994.
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania continued to benefit from the
current economic expansion during the six-month period ended
September 30, 1994. Manufacturing, led by automobile production,
enabled the Commonwealth to prosper indirectly through related
industries, such as steel production. In addition, growth in trade-
related, as well as medical and healthcare services, helped the
Commonwealth diversify its economy away from its traditional heavy
industrial base. Finally, the long-standing agricultural base
continued to be a contributor to the Commonwealth's stability, since
Pennsylvania ranks in the top ten states in production of various
agricultural products. However, future growth remains a question as
the Federal Reserve Board continued to tighten monetary policy to
curb economic growth and ease inflationary pressures.
Positive economic growth combined with prudent fiscal management
enabled the Commonwealth to end its fiscal year 1994 on target with
original revenue and spending estimates while recording a $302
million surplus. This surplus will be used in the fiscal 1995 budget
to assist low-income working families and businesses, and to meet in-
creased spending needs. The enacted fiscal 1995 budget calls for an
increase of approximately 4% over fiscal year 1994 to $15.7 billion.
This budget reduces personal income taxes for low-income working
families by increasing their exemptions. It also reduces small
business taxes and increases spending for education, jobs and human
services.
Although the Commonwealth's tax revenue collections met original
budget estimates, the Commonwealth is still expected to issue its
annual Tax Anticipation Notes (TANs) in the amount of $600 million
in late October to address short-term financing needs. These TANs
will mature June 30, 1995, and represent an increase of 50% over
last year's total issuance. The various Pennsylvania school
districts issued their annual Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes
(TRANs) during the Fund's reporting period. The total issuance of
these Pennsylvania school district TRANs declined approximately 22%
to $508 million from the comparable period last year.
<PAGE>
CMA Pennsylvania Municipal Money Fund maintained a somewhat
defensive strategy during the six-month period ended September 30,
1994. The average portfolio maturity was maintained in the 50-day
range for the majority of the six-month period ended September 30,
1994. Unlike previous years, we did not purchase any local school
district TRANs. Instead, after the Federal Reserve Board raised
interest rates, we purchased higher-yielding securities bought by
the various regional banks for diversification purposes. We continue
to closely monitor credit quality while seeking to offer
shareholders an attractive tax-exempt yield.
In Conclusion
We thank you for your support of CMA Pennsylvania Municipal Money
Fund, and we look forward to serving your investment needs in the
future.
Sincerely,

CMA PENNSYLVANIA MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies:
CMA Pennsylvania Municipal Money Fund (the "Fund") is part of CMA
Multi-State Municipal Series Trust (the "Trust"). The Fund is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-
diversified, open-end management investment company. The following
is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Fund.
(a) Valuation of investments--Investments are valued at amortized
cost, which approximates market value. For the purpose of valuation,
the maturity of a variable rate demand instrument is deemed to be
the next coupon date on which the interest rate is to be adjusted.
In the case of a floating rate instrument, the remaining maturity is
the demand notice payment period.
(b) Income taxes--It is the Fund's policy to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its
taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax
provision is required.
(c) Security transactions and investment income--Security
transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered
into (the trade dates). Interest income (including amortization of
premium and discount) is recognized on the accrual basis. Realized
gains and losses on security transactions are determined on the
identified cost basis.
(d) Deferred organization expenses and prepaid registration fees--
Deferred organization expenses are charged to expense on a straight-
line basis over a five-year period. Prepaid registration fees are
charged to expense as the related shares are issued.
(e) Dividends to shareholders--The Fund declares dividends daily
and reinvests daily such dividends (net of non-resident alien tax
withheld) in additional fund shares at net asset value. Dividends
are declared from the total of net investment income, excluding
discounts earned other than original issue discounts. Net realized
capital gains, if any, are normally distributed annually after
deducting prior years' loss carryforward. The Fund may distribute
capital gains more frequently than annually in order to maintain the
Fund's net asset value at $1.00 per share.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Transactions with Affiliates:
The Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Fund
Asset Management, L.P. ("FAM"). The general partner of FAM is
Princeton Services, Inc. ("PSI"), an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of Merrill Lynch & Co. ("ML & Co"). The limited partners
are ML & Co. and Fund Asset Management, Inc. ("FAMI"), which is also
an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ML & Co.
FAM is responsible for the management of the Fund's portfolio and
provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain
other services necessary to the operations of the Fund. For such
services, the Fund pays a monthly fee based upon the average daily
value of the Fund's net assets, at the following annual rates: 0.50%
of the first $500 million of average daily net assets; 0.425% of
average daily net assets in excess of $500 million but not exceeding
$1 billion; and 0.375% of average daily net assets in excess of $1
billion.
The most restrictive annual expense limitation requires that the
adviser reimburse the Fund to the extent the Fund's expenses
(excluding interest, taxes, distribution fees, brokerage fees and
commissions, and extraordinary items) exceed in any fiscal year 2.5%
of the Fund's first $30 million of average daily net assets, 2.0% of
the Fund's next $70 million of average daily net assets, and 1.5% of
the average daily net assets in excess thereof. No fee payment will
be made to the Investment Adviser during any year which will cause
such expenses to exceed the pro rata expense limitation at the time
of such payment.
CMA PENNSYLVANIA MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND
