</TABLE>
The partnership's net assets declined 10.01% in the first three quarters
of 1998. This was a result of redemptions and net profit on trading.
Trading conditions in financial futures and currencies were erratic during
the first three months of 1998. A downtrend in global interest rates led to
significant profits for the portfolio during January, even though currency
and stock index trading produced losses. During February, however, a sharp
reversal of this interest rate trend in the U.S., along with increased
volatility in trading currencies and stock indices, produced sizable losses
in the portfolio. In March, currency trading was quite profitable, but losses
were registered again in interest rates and stock indices.
Market conditions remained volatile during 1998's second quarter. In April,
the fund's broad diversification failed to prevent a sizable loss as negative
results were registered in each of the four market sectors comprising the
portfolio--currency, interest rate, stock index, and metal trading. Although
the fund is broadly diversified among more than forty markets in four sectors
which are not correlated over time, April characterized the unusual situation
of all four sectors producing losses concurrently. In May, on the other
hand, all four sectors of the portfolio produced profits, thereby recovering
about one-third of the prior month's losses. In June, profits in currency,
stock index, and metal trading slightly outdistanced the losses from interest
rate trading.
The dominant factor influencing third quarter performance in the Millburn
Global Markets Portfolio L. P. was a worldwide "flight to quality". As the
Russian default and devaluation, and later the hedge fund problems rattled
the markets, investors sought safety and liquidity in major government debt
securities. Hence, the Fund's long futures positions in Japanese, German,
Spanish, French, Italian and US bonds, as well as in short-term eurodollar
and euroyen deposits were quite profitable. On balance, currency trading
had no impact on quarterly performance. The dollar, which had risen coming
into the quarter, turned downward producing losses on existing long
positions in July and August, before bringing offsetting profits on short
positions during latter stages of the quarter. Industrial metals prices
were volatile throughout the three months, resulting in losses on both sides
of the market. Stock index futures trading was also unsettled, generating
small declines for the three months.
