Semi-Annual Report

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS:

For the six-month period ended September 30, 1998, CMA Connecticut Municipal
Money Fund paid shareholders a net annualized yield of 2.83%.* As of September
30, 1998, the Fund's 7-day yield was 2.93%.

Economic Environment

During the six-month period ended September 30, 1998, the economic instability
previously limited to Asia spread to several other regions, including Russia and
Latin America. Problems in our own domestic economy also became more apparent,
with declining consumer confidence and diminishing corporate profits. US equity
markets were hard hit as the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 10.9% and the
broader unmanaged Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell by 7.7% for the six-month
period ended September 30, 1998. In an effort to prevent the US economy from
slipping into a possible recession, the Federal Reserve Board lowered the
Federal Funds target rate by 25 basis points (0.25%) to 5.25% at its September
29, 1998 meeting. This easing was the first by the Federal Reserve Board since
January 1996. The central bank unexpectedly cut the Federal Funds rate another
quarter point in October, which investors viewed positively.

The US Treasury market was the clear beneficiary of the global market turmoil,
with investors viewing US Treasury issues as a safe haven from the world's
financial problems. The intermediate-term maturities on the interest rate yield
curve saw the largest gains as the yields on five-year and ten-year US Treasury
notes fell 139 basis points and 124 basis points, respectively, since March 31,
1998 to end the period at 4.22% and 4.40%, respectively.

Investment Strategy

CMA Connecticut Municipal Money Fund began the six-month period ended September
30, 1998 with an average portfolio maturity of 45 days. In view of changing
market conditions, we made several purchases of notes and tax-exempt commercial
paper during the six-month period that increased the Fund's average portfolio
maturity to 60 days by period-end. The note purchases provided yields to the
Fund in the 3.50%-3.55% range, with maturities from six months to one year. By
September period-end, Connecticut note yields had fallen to the 3.20% range for
a one-year maturity as demand increased and supply decreased.

Overall, short-term issuance within the state decreased 50.5% in the first nine
months of this year as compared to the previous year as state and local
government finances continued to improve, thereby reducing the need of
municipalities to borrow. Also, during the six-month period Connecticut Power &
Light Co., a large issuer of short-term variable rate debt in the state,
converted over $400 million of its debt from a short-term variable rate to a
long-term fixed rate. The issuer's decision 

*     Based on a constant investment throughout the period, with dividends
      compounded daily, and reflecting a net return to the investor after all
      expenses.


                                                                               1

to pursue long-term financing placed further downward pressure on Connecticut
note yields as municipal money funds looked to fill the gap left by these large
programs. We also increased our holdings in tax-exempt commercial paper by 5%
since the beginning of the period, locking in yields in the 60-day-90-day range.
Commercial paper remains an important tool in managing the Fund's average
portfolio maturity while providing solid credit quality. Finally, in our March
31, 1998 letter to shareholders, we had discussed the new SEC Rule 2a-7
diversification guidelines that took effect on July 1, 1998. The Fund was well
positioned in terms of diversification, which facilitated a smooth transition to
the new guidelines.

In the upcoming months, we expect that market conditions will remain challenging
as the world financial community intensifies its effort to prevent a global
recession. Short-term municipal bond yields will likely remain under pressure if
the Federal Reserve Board eases monetary policy further. We will continue to
seek opportunities to purchase securities that will provide shareholders with
the highest credit quality, a stable net asset value and an attractive yield.

In Conclusion

We thank you for your continued interest in CMA Connecticut Municipal Money
Fund, and we look forward to serving your investment needs in the future.

Sincerely,

CMA CONNECTICUT MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Significant Accounting Policies:

CMA Connecticut 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. These unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the
results for the interim period presented. All such adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature. 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) Prepaid registration fees--Prepaid registration fees are charged to expense
as the related shares are issued.

(e) Dividends and distributions to shareholders--The Fund declares dividends
daily and reinvests daily such dividends (net of non-resident alien tax and
back-up withholding 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., 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.

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

CMA CONNECTICUT MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONCLUDED)

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, 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, 1998, the Fund had a net capital loss carryforward of approximately
$178,000, of which $69,000 expires in 2000, $30,000 expires in 2001, $10,000
expires in 2002, $27,000 expires in 2003, $2,000 expires in 2005 and $40,000
expires in 2006. This amount will be available to offset like amounts of any
future taxable gains.
