ABBREVIATIONS AND
OTHER INFORMATION

With respect to the Schedules of Investments, the percentage shown for each
investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a
percentage of total net assets.

Interest rates represent either the stated coupon rate, annualized yield on date
of purchase for discounted notes, or, for floating rate securities, the current
reset rate.

Prerefunding is a procedure in which a bond issuer floats a second bond in order
to pay off the first bond at the first call date. The proceeds from the sale of
the second bond are safely invested, usually in Treasury securities, that will
mature at the first call date of the first bond issue. Those first bonds are
said to be prerefunded after this operation has taken place.

Maturity dates represent the stated date on the security, the next interest
reset date for floating rate securities or the prerefunded date for these types
of securities.

                          ECONOMIC AND MARKET OVERVIEW

REVIEW AND OUTLOOK OF THE ECONOMY - GROWTH SHOULD CONTINUE IN 1997
A number of factors lead us to conclude that the U.S. economy should continue to
grow throughout 1997. Domestic economic demand appears to have strengthened from
the fourth quarter of 1996. Business inventories are low and material prices are
starting to rise. This creates the potential for stronger voluntary accumulation
of inventories in the first half of 1997.

In light of the stronger-than-expected economic growth and the potential for an
even tighter labor market, the Federal Open Market Committee tightened 
monetary policy a notch toward the end of March. Given that current monetary 
policy does not appear to be excessively accommodative, and inflation
psychology is all but absent in the economy, the tightening by the Federal
Reserve is interpreted as fine-tuning. We anticipate the Fed's actions are meant
to slow economic growth marginally below its potential, rather than to act as
major counter-cyclical tightening, which often results in a recession.

Labor markets remain tight. We could see further tightening as labor force
growth slows in accordance with demographic trends. While welfare reform could
push labor force participation rates higher, there is a question about how
employable these new workers may be, especially in light of the higher minimum
wage. So far, the tight labor market has yet to manifest itself in higher core
inflation, although further tightening could affect it.

Food prices may not moderate as much as some had expected. Livestock prices are
rising as a result of last year's hard culling. Grain and oilseed prices are
increasing again due to continued strong demand, low inventories and concerns
that this year's harvests could be restrained by spring flooding.

As the peak driving season approaches, gasoline inventories are lower than they
were last year, with little excess refinery capacity available. As a result,
gasoline prices could rise more than usual this summer.

Although domestic economic demand is strong, net exports could be a drag on
growth, at least in the first quarter. The reasons for this are the lagged
effects of last year's strengthening in the U.S. dollar and continued economic
softness in the industrialized economies, especially those in continental
Europe. Countering this, however, is strengthening domestic demand in Canada --
our largest single-country export market -- and continued economic strength in
Mexico and the U.K. -- our third- and fourth-largest export markets,
respectively.

After Japan, our largest bilateral trade deficit is now with the People's
Republic of China. Allegations that the Chinese government has tried to
influence federal government decisions through campaign contributions have
heightened the political sensitivity of our large Chinese trade deficit.
Because China wants to remain in "most favored nation" trade status and wants to
be admitted to the World Trade Organization, the Chinese government might take
steps to increase imports from the U.S. Thus, despite the past rise in the U.S.
dollar, our trade deficit position could improve.

                             PORTFOLIO COMMENTARIES

MONEY MARKET FUND
During the latter part of 1996 and the first quarter of 1997, the maturity
structure of the Fund anticipated higher interest rates in the short-term money
market.  The portfolio is heavily weighted in Tier-One commercial paper (issues
rate in the highest rating category by at least two nationally
recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs)) where yields are
presently most attractive.  The remainder is invested in certificates of
deposit, repurchase agreements, variable rate notes, Treasury bills and other
high-quality securities.  Quality remains the primary factor in selecting issues
for the portfolio with yield being a secondary factor.  During the upcoming
year, the Fund will be managed to take advantage of the Federal Reserve's
increasing interest rates.  The barbell strategy will also be used to take
advantage of any backup in the market on the longer end.  As always, we will
continue to focus on providing our shareholders with the quality, liquidity and
yield they are seeking in a money market fund.

Mary Ann Flynn
Portfolio Manager


U.S. GOVERNMENT
MONEY MARKET FUND

U.S. GOVERNMENT SELECT
MONEY MARKET FUND
Although the Federal Reserve raised interest rates only once last year,
interest rates were volatile and had a major effect on both Funds'
performance. During the year, we maintained our heavy weighting in securities
issued by agencies of the U.S. government. For the remainder of this year, we
anticipate positioning both Funds to maintain our emphasis on quality and to
protect liquidity. We will focus closely on the direction of the economy and
Federal Funds interest rates and extend the portfolios' average maturities when
conditions warrant.

Edward Kyritz, III
Portfolio Manager


MUNICIPAL MONEY
MARKET FUND
Last year we maintained a longer average maturity and invested in more 
fixed-rate bonds and Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) securities. As a result, we
outperformed our benchmark (IBC's Money Fund Average/TM/All Tax-Free). We plan
to closely watch the supply of short-term securities and the actions of the 
Federal Reserve. In order to take advantage of rising interest rates, we 
anticipate keeping the average maturity of the portfolio relatively short.

Brad Snyder
Portfolio Manager


CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL
MONEY MARKET FUND
The supply of short-term, tax-exempt California securities was very limited last
year, causing lower than normal yields. By maintaining a longer average maturity
than our peer group, however, we were able to outperform our benchmark (IBC's
Money Fund Average/TM/California State-Specific Stock Broker & General Purpose).
During the coming year, we will closely monitor the actions of the Federal
Reserve. We plan to keep the portfolio's average maturity relatively short to
take advantage of the expected higher interest rates.

NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1997


1. ORGANIZATION

Northern Funds was organized October 12, 1993 as a Massachusetts business trust
and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end
management investment company consisting of 19 portfolios.  The Money Market,
U.S. Government Money Market, Municipal Money Market, U.S. Government Select
Money Market and California Municipal Money Market Funds (collectively the
"Funds") are separate, diversified investment portfolios of Northern Funds,
except the California Municipal Money Market Fund which is a non-diversified
portfolio of Northern Funds.  Non-diversified portfolios may invest a relatively
high percentage of their net assets in obligations of a limited number of
issuers.  Each of the Funds maintains its own investment objective.
   The Funds have entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with The
Northern Trust Company ("Northern Trust" or the "Adviser").  Northern Trust also
serves as custodian, fund accountant and transfer agent for the Funds.


2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.  These
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP").  The presentation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results may differ from those estimates.

A. VALUATION OF SECURITIES - Short-term investments held by the Funds are 
   valued using the amortized cost method, which approximates market value.  
   Under this method, investments purchased at a discount or premium are valued
   by amortizing the difference between the original purchase price and maturity
   value of the issue over the period to maturity.  Guaranteed investment
   contracts are valued at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market
   value.  Any securities for which no current quotations are readily available
   are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser under the
   supervision of the Board of Trustees.

B. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS - During the term of a repurchase agreement, the market
   value of the underlying collateral, including accrued interest, is required
   to equal or exceed the market value of the repurchase agreement.  The
   underlying collateral for all repurchase agreements is held in a customer-
   only account of Northern Trust, as custodian for the Funds, at the Federal
   Reserve Bank of Chicago.

C. ORGANIZATION COSTS - Organization expenses of approximately $342,000 have 
   been deferred and are being amortized on a straight-line basis through 1999.

D. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME - Investment transactions are recorded as
   of the trade date.  The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from
   investment transactions by using an identified cost basis method.  Interest
   income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes amortization of
   discounts and premiums.

E. EXPENSES - The Funds are charged for those expenses that are directly
   attributable to each Fund.  Expenses that are not directly attributable to a
   Fund are typically allocated among the Funds in proportion to their
   respective net assets.

F. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - Dividends from net investment income are
   declared daily and paid monthly.
      Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared at least
   annually.  Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend
   date.
      The timing and character of distributions determined in accordance with
   federal income tax regulations may differ from financial statement amounts
   determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles due to
   differences in the treatment and recognition of investment income and
   realized gains (losses).  These differences are primarily related to capital
   loss carryforwards.  Certain differences in treatment of income and capital
   gains for distributions, which are permanent, may result in periodic
   reclassifications in the Funds' capital accounts.

G. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES - No provision for federal income taxes has been made
   since the Funds intend to comply with the requirements of the Internal
   Revenue Code available to regulated investment companies and to distribute
   substantially all of their taxable income to their shareholders.
      At March 31, 1997, the Funds' most recent fiscal year end, the approximate
   capital loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes were
   approximately $109,000 and $1,000 for the Municipal Money Market and the U.S.
   Government Select Money Market Funds, respectively.  These capital loss
   carryforwards, due to expire March 31, 2005, are available to offset future
   capital gains.

H. RECLASSIFICATIONS - At March 31, 1997, the Funds made reclassifications among
   their capital accounts to reflect the characterization of certain income and
   capital gain distributions for federal income tax purposes which may differ
   from amounts determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
   principles, as follows:

                      UNDISTRIBUTED      UNDISTRIBUTED
                           NET                NET              PAID
AMOUNTS                 INVESTMENT          CAPITAL             IN
IN THOUSANDS              INCOME             GAINS           CAPITAL
- --------------------    ----------          -------          ------
Money Market               $24               $ _             $(24)

U.S. Government
  Money Market               6                 _               (6)

Municipal Money
  Market                    47                 _              (47)

U.S. Government Select
  Money Market               4                 _               (4)

California Municipal
  Money Market               3                 _               (3)


   These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Funds
and are primarily due to differing treatments of certain fees and expenses.

3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

Pursuant to its advisory agreement with the Funds, the Adviser is entitled to
receive a fee, calculated daily and payable monthly, at the annual rates
presented below as applied to each Fund's daily net assets.  For the year ended
March 31, 1997, the Adviser voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its
advisory fees as applied to each Fund's daily net assets as shown on the
accompanying Statements of Operations.  Northern Trust had also agreed to
reimburse the Funds as shown on the accompanying Statements of Operations to

Financial Group, Inc. ("Sunstone") for certain administrative services.
Pursuant to its administrative agreement with the Funds, Sunstone is entitled to
receive a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.15%
of each Fund's daily net assets.  For the year ended March 31, 1997, Sunstone
voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its administration fees as shown on the
accompanying Statements of Operations.

4. BANK LOANS

and other purposes.  Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at 1% above
the Fed Funds rate and are secured by pledged securities equal to or exceeding
120% of the outstanding balance.
   As of March 31, 1997, there were no outstanding borrowings.



REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES:
NORTHERN FUNDS MONEY MARKET FUND, U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND, MUNICIPAL
MONEY MARKET FUND, U.S. GOVERNMENT SELECT MONEY MARKET FUND, CALIFORNIA
MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of
Northern Funds (a Massachusetts business trust consisting of the Money Market
Fund, U.S. Government Money Market Fund, Municipal Money Market Fund, U.S.
Government Select Money Market Fund and California Municipal Money Market Fund),
including the schedules of investments, as of March 31, 1997, and the related
statements of operations, changes in net assets, and the financial highlights
for the periods indicated thereon.  These financial statements and financial
highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management.  Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights
based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.  Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
March 31, 1997, by physical examination of the securities held by the custodian
and by correspondence with outside depositories and brokers.  An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each
of the respective portfolios constituting Northern Funds as of March 31, 1997,
the results of their operations, changes in their net assets, and financial
highlights for the periods indicated thereon, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
