     President's Letter


Dear Shareholder:
 
The Walnut Street Funds is pleased to present you with our 1995 semi-annual re-
port. The economic environment during the first six months of 1995 led rapidly
to dynamic increases in equity prices in general, resulting in new highs on ma-
jor stock indexes. Short-term yields stabilized during the period as the Fed-
eral Reserve Board reversed its trend of increasing rates, with a decrease in
the Federal Fund rate occurring on July 6, 1995.
 
Investors continue to show confidence in money market funds, as industry-wide
money market assets during the period grew by 1.7%. The Prime Reserve Fund ex-
perienced growth in assets of more than 34% during the first six months of
1995, reaching assets of $120.3 million on June 30, 1995. The seven-day current
yield for the Prime Reserve Fund was 5.29% on June 30, 1995, with an average
maturity of 44 days.
 
Walnut Street Funds, Inc. and General American Investment Management Company,
the Fund's investment adviser, remain committed to providing our shareholders
with excellent service and professional investment management.
 
                                          Sincerely,
 
                                          /s/ Rene C. Lorio
 
                                          Rene C. Lorio
                                          President
                                          The Walnut Street Funds, Inc.
 
  Yields will fluctuate with market conditions. Past performance is no
  guarantee of future returns. Investments in money market funds are not
  insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government and there is no assurance
  that the Fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of
  $1.00 per share. The Fund is currently waiving certain fees. Had fees
  not been waived, the 7-day current yield would have been 5.18% and the
  total return would have been lower. The voluntary waiver of fees may
  be modified or terminated at any time, which would reduce the Fund's
  performance.

     Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
 
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
 
The Walnut Street Funds, Inc. (the "Company") was organized as a Maryland Cor-
poration on January 22, 1993 and is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 as an open-end management investment company. The Company currently
consists of one series. The Walnut Street Prime Reserve Fund (the "Fund") com-
menced investment operations on July 21, 1993.
 
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) SECURITY VALUATIONS
 
Securities are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. This
method values a security at its cost at the time of purchase and thereafter as-
sumes a constant rate of amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.
 
(B) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
 
The Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. The
Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
applicable to regulated investment companies and distribute income to share-
holders within the allowable time limits. Therefore, no federal income tax pro-
vision is required.
 
(C) DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS
 
Net investment income is declared daily and paid monthly.
 
Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from methods used to determine the
corresponding income and capital gains amounts in accordance with generally ac-
cepted accounting principles.
 
(D) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME
 
Security transactions are recorded on the trade date and interest income is ac-
crued daily. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over
the life of the respective securities.
 
(E) ORGANIZATION COSTS
 
Costs incurred in connection with the organization and initial registration of
the Fund are being amortized over the period of benefit not to exceed 60 months
from the date upon which the Fund commenced investment operations.
 
If any or all of the shares representing initial capital of the Fund are re-
deemed by any holder thereof prior to the end of the amortization period, the
proceeds will be reduced by the unamortized organizational expense balance in
the same proportion as the number of such shares redeemed bears to the number
of initial shares outstanding immediately before the redemption.

General American Investment Management Company acts as the Fund's investment
adviser (the "Adviser"). The Adviser manages the investments of the Fund and is
