LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Shareholder:

We  are  pleased  to  present  this  semiannual  report for Dreyfus Pennsylvania
Municipal  Money Market Fund, covering the six-month period from October 1, 1999
through  March  31, 2000. Inside, you'll find valuable information about how the
fund  was  managed  during the reporting period, including a discussion with the
fund's portfolio manager, Scott Sprauer.

When  the  reporting  period  began,  international  and domestic economies were
growing  faster  than  most  analysts  expected,  giving  rise  to concerns that
long-dormant  inflationary  pressures  might  re-emerge.  Consumers continued to
spend  heavily, unemployment levels reached new lows and the stock market, while
highly volatile, continued to climb.

Because   unsustainable   economic  growth  may  trigger  unwanted  inflationary
pressures,  the Federal Reserve Board raised key short-term interest rates twice
more during the reporting period. In total, the Federal Reserve Board has raised
short-term  interest rates by 125 basis points since late June 1999. While these
economic  influences  adversely  affected  longer  term  municipal  bonds,  they
positively    influenced    tax-exempt    money    market    yields.

We  appreciate  your confidence over the past six months, and we look forward to
your  continued  participation  in  Dreyfus  Pennsylvania Municipal Money Market
Fund.

Sincerely,


Stephen E. Canter
President and Chief Investment Officer
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

Scott Sprauer, Portfolio Manager

How did Dreyfus Pennsylvania Municipal Money Market Fund perform during the
period?

For  the  six-month period ended March 31, 2000, the fund produced an annualized
tax-exempt  yield  of 2.96%. Taking into account the effects of compounding, the
fund provided an annualized effective yield of 3.00%.(1 )We attribute the fund's
performance  to  higher  short-term  interest  rates  implemented by the Federal
Reserve Board, which helped enhance tax-exempt money market yields. On the other
hand,  the  effects  of  higher  interest  rates  were  partially offset by high
investor  demand  and  a  declining supply of newly issued short-term tax-exempt
securities.

What is the fund's investment approach?

The  fund' s objective is to seek a high level of federal and Pennsylvania state
tax-exempt  income  while  maintaining  a  stable  $1.00  share  price.  We  are
especially    vigilant    in    our    efforts    to    preserve    capital.

In  pursuing this objective, we employ two primary strategies. First, we attempt
to  add  value  by  constructing a diverse portfolio of high quality, tax-exempt
money  market  instruments from Pennsylvania issuers. Second, we actively manage
the  portfolio' s  average  maturity in anticipation of interest-rate trends and
supply-and-demand changes in Pennsylvania's short-term municipal marketplace.

For  example, if we expect an increase in short-term supply, we may decrease the
average  maturity  of  the  portfolio,  which  would  enable  us to purchase new
securities  with higher yields. Yields tend to rise when there is an increase in
new-issue  supply  competing for investor interest. New securities are generally
issued   with  maturities  in  the  one-year  range,  which  will  lengthen  the
portfolio' s average maturity. If we anticipate limited new-issue supply, we may
extend  the  portfolio's average maturity to maintain current yields for as long
as    practi

                                                                        The Fund


DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (CONTINUED)

cal.  At  other  times, we try to maintain an average maturity that reflects our
view   of   short-term   interest-rate   trends   and  future  supply-and-demand
considerations.

What other factors influenced the fund's performance?

The  fund  was  primarily  influenced  by  robust  U.S.  economic growth, rising
interest  rates and a declining supply of newly issued securities throughout the
six-month    reporting    period.

By  the  time  the  reporting period began on October 1, 1999, it was clear that
economic  growth  in  the  United  States  and  overseas  was stronger than many
analysts  had  expected.  In the U.S., consumer confidence had reached a 30-year
high,  oil prices had bounced back from the previous year's lows, and employment
was  strong,  with  hourly  wages  rising. These economic forces raised concerns
among  fixed-income  investors  that  long-dormant  inflationary pressures might
re-emerge.  In  response,  the  Federal  Reserve  Board  had  already  increased
short-term  interest  rates  twice  in  June and August, before the start of the
six-month reporting period. The Fed then implemented three additional rate hikes
in  November,  February  and March -- during the reporting period -- for a total
increase of 125 basis points since last summer.

Although  these  interest-rate  increases caused short-term tax-exempt yields to
rise  throughout  the reporting period, tax-exempt money market yields generally
rose  slightly  less  than  comparable  taxable yields over the past six months.
That' s  because  Pennsylvania and many of its municipalities enjoyed higher tax
revenues   during  this  period  of  economic  prosperity.  As  a  result,  many
municipalities  had less need to borrow to satisfy their short-term obligations,
resulting in a reduced supply of securities.

What is the fund's current strategy?

We  have  continued to manage the fund's weighted average maturity and portfolio
mix according to our interest-rate and supply-and-demand expectations.


Accordingly,  when  the  reporting  period  began,  we adopted a relatively long
average  maturity  to  maintain  competitive  yields during a time of little new
issuance. We later allowed the portfolio's average maturity to decline naturally
as  existing  holdings  matured, enabling us to capture higher yields during the
fourth  quarter  of 1999, when issuance increased. We again extended the average
maturity  toward  the  end  of  the year to take advantage of market weakness in
advance  of  potential Year 2000 concerns, which ultimately proved unfounded. We
ended  the reporting period with a weighted average maturity that was solidly in
the neutral range relative to our peer group.

Our  security selection strategy continued to focus on very high quality, liquid
money market instruments from an array of Pennsylvania issuers. Some of the most
frequently  used  instruments included Variable Rate Demand Notes (VRDNs), which
feature  adjustable  yields,  short  maturities, and afford the portfolio a high
degree  of  liquidity  and  credit  quality.  Whenever  opportunities  arose, we
attempted  to  take  advantage  of  any available municipal notes and commercial
paper  in  order  to lock in attractive yields. Of course, portfolio composition
will change over time.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1--Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus  Pennsylvania  Municipal  Money  Market  Fund (the "fund") is registered
under  the  Investment  Company  Act  of  1940,  as  amended  (the  "Act"), as a
non-diversified  open-end  management  investment company. The fund's investment
objective  is to provide investors with as high a level of current income exempt
from  Federal  and  Pennsylvania  state  income  taxes as is consistent with the
preservation   of   capital  and  the  maintenance  of  liquidity.  The  Dreyfus
Corporation (the "Manager") serves as the fund's investment adviser. The Manager
is  a  direct subsidiary of Mellon Bank, N.A, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of  Mellon  Financial  Corporation.  Effective  March  22, 2000, Dreyfus Service
Corporation  (" DSC" ), a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  the Manager, became the
distributor  of  the fund's shares, which are sold to the public without a sales
charge.  Prior  to  March  22,  2000, Premier Mutual Fund Services, Inc. was the
distributor.

It  is  the  fund's policy to maintain a continuous net asset value per share of
$1.00; the fund has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend
and distribution policies to enable it to do so. There is no assurance, however,
that  the  fund  will  be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share of
$1.00.

The  fund' s  financial  statements  are  prepared  in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles which may require the use of management estimates
and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at amortized cost,
which  has been determined by the fund's Board of Trustees to represent the fair
value of the fund's investments.

(b)  Securities  transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are
recorded  on  a  trade date 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. Realized gain and loss from securities
transactions  are  recorded  on  the  identified cost basis. Cost of investments
represents    amortized    cost.

Under  the  terms  of  the  custody agreement, the fund received net earnings of
$4,510  during  the period ended March 31, 2000 based on available cash balances
left  on  deposit.  Income earned under this arrangement is included in interest
income.

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: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends
daily  from  investment  income-net.  Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends
from net realized capital gain, if any, are normally declared and paid annually,
but  the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the
distribution  requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
" Code" ). To the extent that net realized capital gain can be offset by capital
loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gain.

(d) 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 Code, and to make distributions
of  income  and  net  realized  capital  gain  sufficient  to  relieve  it  from
substantially all Federal income and excise taxes.

The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of approximately $29,000 available
for  Federal  income  tax  purposes  to be applied against future net securities
profits, if any, realized subsequent to September 30, 1999. If not applied, $100
of  the carryover expires in fiscal 2000, $3,600 expires in fiscal 2003, $17,800
expires  in  fiscal  2004,  $2,500  expires in fiscal 2006 and $5,000 expires in
fiscal 2007.

At  March  31, 2000, 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).
