TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS:
For the year ended March 31, 1995, CMA Ohio Municipal Money Fund
paid shareholders a net annualized yield of 2.65%*. As of March 31,
1995, the Fund's 7-day yield was 3.46%.
The Environment
During the six months ended March 31, 1995, the perception that the
US economy was overheating and inflationary pressures were
increasing gave way to a more benign economic outlook. With more
signs of slowing growth, investors now appear to be forecasting a
"soft landing" for the US economy. Although gross domestic product
(GDP) was reported to have increased at a revised 5.1% rate during
the final quarter of 1994, declines in other indicators such as new
home sales and durable goods orders registered thus far in 1995 have
led investors to anticipate that the economy is losing enough
momentum to keep inflation under control and preclude further
significant monetary policy tightening by the Federal Reserve Board.
However, as US stock and bond markets have risen on more positive
economic news, the value of the US dollar reached new lows relative
to the yen and the Deutschemark. Persistent trade deficits and
exports of capital from the United States have kept the US currency
in a decade-long decline relative to the Japanese and German
currencies. Over the longer term, since the United States has the
highest productivity among industrialized nations and among the
lowest labor costs, demand for US dollar-denominated assets may
improve. However, a reduction of the still-widening US trade deficit
may be necessary before the US dollar appreciates substantially
relative to the yen and the Deutschemark.
[FN]
*Based on a constant investment throughout the period, with
dividends compounded daily, and reflecting a net return to the
investor after all expenses.
The first months of 1995 have been very positive for the stock and
bond markets. Continued signs of a moderating expansion and
well-contained inflationary pressures would provide further
assurance that the peak in interest rates is behind us. On the other
hand, indications of reaccelerating growth and further significant
monetary policy tightening by the Federal Reserve Board would be a
decided negative for the US financial markets.
<PAGE>
Investment Outlook and Strategy
Interest rates on short-term securities finished the six-month
period ended March 31, 1995 higher than at the beginning of the
period. However, interest rates were volatile during the March
period. The restrictive monetary policy initiated by the Federal
Reserve Board in February 1994 was maintained during the six-month
period ended March 31, 1995. On November 15, 1994 the Federal
Reserve Board made its most aggressive move of the cycle by hiking
both the Federal Funds rate and the discount rate 75 basis points
(0.75%) to 5.50% and 4.75%, respectively. The Federal Reserve Board
followed this move with a 50 basis point increase on February 1,
1995, making it the seventh interest rate hike of the cycle and
doubling the Federal Funds rate to its current level of 6.00%. The
first half of the six-month period ended March 31, 1995 was one of
rising short-term interest rates as investors drove interest rates
up in anticipation of additional Federal Reserve Board tightening.
However, the larger-than-expected increase in the Federal Funds rate
in November 1994 led investors to believe that the Federal Reserve
Board would achieve the elusive soft landing of the US economy. This
set the stage for a rally in US financial markets which drove
interest rates sharply lower. For example, interest rates on six-
month US Treasury bills rose by nearly 110 basis points by the
beginning of December 1994 from their October 1, 1994 levels, only
to fall by approximately 50 basis points by March 31, 1995 for a net
increase of approximately 60 basis points.
Ohio, which exhibited strong economic growth in the past, showed
signs of easing during the latter part of the six-month period ended
March 31, 1995. Manufacturing activity began to subside from its
torrid pace, as the automobile industry initiated a program of
production cutbacks to meet slowing domestic demand. However, Ohio
continued to diversify its manufacturing employment sector, allowing
many small and large manufacturers to expand and restructure their
productive capacity to meet global demand for an array of consumer
products. This allowed Ohio's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate
of 3.8% for March 1995 to remain low relative to the national
average of 5.5%. Despite a low unemployment rate, job creation
lagged behind the nation's employment growth rate. In addition,
Ohio's income growth tends to lag behind the national average,
primarily because of its disproportionate amount of manufacturing
jobs. Wages for these jobs also tend to fall behind increases in the
service sector.
The re-election of Governor George Voinovich in November 1994 should
insure a similar political agenda over the next four years. In his
latest budget proposal for fiscal year 1996, Governor Voinovich
plans to eliminate General Assistance and some Disability Assistance
welfare programs, saving approximately $196.6 million over two
years. His budget also proposes reinstating a soda tax with revenue
earmarked for community projects, boosting funding for primary and
secondary education, and possibly reducing income taxes if Ohio's
economic situation continues to improve.
<PAGE>
Positive economic growth continues to translate into positive tax
receipts for fiscal year 1995 that are running slightly higher than
1994's levels. Ohio employed these positive revenue streams into
managing daily operations, thus avoiding the need to borrow in the
short-term market. However, total issuance for the various local
municipalities remained moderate at $472 million, or 78% higher than
the comparable 1994 period and were predominately issued with
one-year maturities.
CMA Ohio Municipal Money Fund maintained a predominately defensive
strategy throughout the six-month period ended March 31, 1995. We
allowed the average portfolio maturity to decline from the 55-day
range at September 30, 1994 to the 30-day range. We also reduced our
purchases of one-year municipal notes, maintained a high percentage
of variable rate demand notes, and kept tax-exempt commercial paper
in the 30-day range. Several factors guided our actions, including
the uncertainty over whether the Federal Reserve Board had ended
monetary tightening, the declining dollar, and the Mexican peso
crisis. These events created an atmosphere that warranted a more
conservative approach. We continue to closely monitor credit quality
while seeking to offer shareholders an attractive tax-exempt yield.

CMA OHIO MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies:
CMA Ohio 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" or "Adviser"). The general partner of
FAM is Princeton Services, Inc. ("PSI"), an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. ("ML & Co."), which is the
limited partner.
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 Adviser during any year which
will cause such expenses to exceed the pro rata expense limitation
at the time of such payment.
CMA OHIO MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONCLUDED)
Pursuant to the Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan in
compliance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc. ("MLPF&S") receives a
distribution fee from the Fund at the end of each month at the
annual rate of 0.125% of average daily net assets of the Fund. The
distribution fee is to compensate MLPF&S financial consultants and
other directly involved branch office personnel for selling shares
of the Fund and for providing direct personal services to
shareholders. The distribution fee is not compensation for the
administrative and operational services rendered to the Fund by
MLPF&S in processing share orders and administering shareholder
accounts.
Financial Data Services, Inc. ("FDS"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
ML & Co., is the Fund's transfer agent.
Accounting services are provided to the Fund by FAM at cost.

Certain officers and/or trustees of the Fund are officers and/or
directors of FAM, PSI, MLPF&S, FDS, and/or ML & Co.
3. Shares of Beneficial Interest:
The number of shares purchased and redeemed during the period
corresponds to the amounts included in the Statements of Changes in
Net Assets for net proceeds from sale of shares and cost of shares
redeemed, respectively, since shares are recorded at $1.00 per
share.
4. Capital Loss Carryforward:
At March 31, 1995, the Fund had a net capital loss carryforward of
approximately $32,000, of which $23,000 expires in 2000, $5,000
