PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although the markets have been fairly positive this year, no one can
predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted
below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This
downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was almost
ideal.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that can help investors in every type of market.
First, take a long-term approach when investing. If you can afford to leave
your money invested through the inevitable ups and downs of financial
markets, you will greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline.
Over time, for example, stock prices have gone up - and have significantly
outperformed other types of investments and stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage risk by diversifying your investments. A
stock mutual fund is already diversified, because it invests in many
different companies. You can increase your diversification by investing in
a number of different stock funds, or in different investment categories,
such as bonds. You should also keep money you'll need in the near future in
a more stable investment.
Finally, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing
a set amount of money at the same time each month or quarter. That way, you
can avoid getting caught up in the excitement of a rapidly-rising market -
and won't end up buying all your shares at market highs. This strategy
won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, but
it should help you lower the average cost of your purchases. For this to be
effective, you must continue to buy shares in both up and down markets.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We would be happy
to send you a Fidelity FundMatch kit, which can help you determine the mix
of investments that is right for you. You might also find it convenient to
set up a regular investment plan using the Fidelity Automatic Account
Builder.SM
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
To measure a money market fund's performance, you can look at either total
return or yield. Total return reflects the change in a fund's share price
over a given period, reinvestment of its dividends (or income) and the
effect of the fund's $5 account closeout fee on an average sized account.
Yield measures the income paid by a fund. Since a money market fund tries
to maintain a $1 share price, yield is an important measure of performance.
If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses during the periods
shown, the past five years and life of fund total returns would have been
lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or since
the fund started on January 23, 1989. For example, if you invested $1,000
in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your
investment would be $1,050. To measure how the fund's performance stacked
up against its peers, you can compare it to the average all taxable money
market fund, which reflects the performance of 757 taxable money market
funds with similar objectives tracked by IBC/Donoghue over the past six
months. Comparing the fund's performance to the consumer price index (CPI)
helps show how your fund did compared to inflation. (The periods covered by
the CPI and IBC/Donoghue numbers are the closest available match to those
covered by the fund.)

MMDA
YIELD refers to the income paid by the fund over a given period. Yields for
money market funds are usually for seven-day periods, expressed as annual
percentage rates. A yield that assumes income earned is reinvested or
compounded is called an effective yield. The chart above shows the fund's
current seven-day yield at quarterly intervals over the past year. You can
compare these yields to the average all taxable money market fund and the
average bank money market deposit account (MMDA). Figures for the average
all taxable money market fund are from IBC/Donoghue. The MMDA average is
supplied by BANK RATE MONITOR.(Trademark)
A MONEY MARKET FUND'S TOTAL RETURNS AND YIELDS WILL VARY, AND REFLECT PAST
RESULTS RATHER THAN PREDICT FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
COMPARING
PERFORMANCE
There are some important
differences between a bank
money market deposit
account (MMDA) and a
money market fund. First, the
U.S. government neither
insures nor guarantees a
money market fund. In fact,
there is no assurance that a
money market fund will
maintain a $1 share price.
Second, a money market
fund returns to its
shareholders income earned
by the fund's investments
after expenses. This is in
contrast to banks, which set
their MMDA rates periodically
based on current interest
rates, competitors' rates, and
internal criteria.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with John Todd, Portfolio Manager of Spartan Money Market Fund
Q. JOHN, THE ECONOMIC INDICATORS HAVE BEEN SENDING US CONTRADICTORY
SIGNALS. HOW WOULD YOU CHARACTERIZE THE INVESTMENT CLIMATE DURING THE PAST
SIX MONTHS?
A. Last April we had just entered what turned out to be the weakest quarter
of the year, with the economy expanding at an annual rate of only 1.3%.
Some saw that as a sign of a coming recession. By early July, the Federal
Reserve was sufficiently concerned to shave one-quarter percentage point
off the federal funds rate, the interest rate banks charge each other for
overnight loans. That ended a string of seven rate increases by the Federal
Reserve dating back to February 1994. But even as the Fed was taking that
small step to stimulate economic growth, there were signs that the spring
slowdown had perhaps been no more than an inventory correction. Initial
estimates of the annualized growth rate during the third quarter of 1995
came in at slightly above 4%. Employment has remained firm throughout, with
the unemployment rate hovering around 5.5%. Normally when unemployment dips
below 6%, we would expect to see some upward pressure on wages. That hasn't
happened yet, in part because a continuation of corporate downsizing dating
back to the last recession has made people more concerned with job security
than growth in salary and benefits. Because of this and the productivity
improvements resulting from strong business investment during this
expansion, inflation has remained subdued.
Q. DOES THAT MEAN YOU THINK THE FED WON'T LOWER RATES AGAIN?
A. Not necessarily. There's also the budget debate to consider. If Congress
passes a credible deficit reduction package later this fall, and it becomes
law, the Fed might respond with another rate cut to help offset the fiscal
drag of budget cuts. It's not a sure thing since the major spending cuts
probably won't kick in for several years, and if long-term rates come down
sufficiently, that alone could be enough to stimulate growth. Still, most
market participants are assuming the Fed will lower rates by as much as
half a percentage point if the budget deal goes through, and have already
factored that assumption into the pricing of short-term instruments.
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY IN THE FACE OF SO MANY CONFLICTING CURRENTS?
A. The fund's average maturity when the period began was 52 days. It
reached 60 days on the eve of the Fed's rate cut in July and since then has
fluctuated in a range generally between 50 and 60 days. Variable rate
securities made up 17% of the fund's assets when the period began, many
with interest rates that adjusted at weekly or even daily intervals. I let
most of those mature during the course of the second and third quarter of
1995. By the end of August, variable rate securities made up only 11% of
the fund. Since then I've been reestablishing the fund's stake in variable
rate securities but with an emphasis on those with rates that reset at
longer intervals.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. The fund's seven-day yield on October 31, 1995, was 5.44%, compared to
5.82% six months ago. The fund's total return for the six-month period was
2.86%, which beat the average total return of 2.73% during the same period
for all taxable money market funds, according to IBC/Donoghue.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. As we head toward 1996, I think the total economic picture remains
bright, thanks to a rare combination of decent growth, low unemployment and
very mild inflationary pressures. But while I may not see a strong need for
the Fed to stimulate growth in the months ahead, I think some sort of token
rate cut is possible, even likely. So I'll probably look for opportunities
to extend the fund's average maturity out to around 70 days.

WORDS TO KNOW
BANKERS' ACCEPTANCE (BA): A
short-term note whose
payment is guaranteed by a
bank.
CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT (CD): An
interest-bearing deposit with a
specific maturity. Large
denomination CDs, like the
fund buys, have negotiable
interest rates and can be sold
in the secondary market.
COMMERCIAL PAPER: A
short-term note from a bank or
corporation.
FEDERAL FUNDS RATE: The interest
rate banks charge each other
for overnight loans.
MATURITY: The time remaining
before an issuer is scheduled
to repay the principal amount
on a debt security. When the
fund's average maturity,
weighted by dollar amount, is
short, the fund manager is
expecting rates to rise. When
the average maturity is
neutral, the manager wants
the flexibility to respond to
rising rates, while still
capturing a portion of the
higher yields available from
issues with longer maturities.
TIME DEPOSIT (TD): An
interest-bearing deposit with a
specific maturity. Large
denomination TDs, like the
fund buys, differ from CDs in
that they can't be sold in the
secondary market.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended October 31, 1995 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Spartan Money Market Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Hereford Street
Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares.
The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The
following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, and
certain conditions therein, securities are valued initially at cost and
thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or
premium.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for
its fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding
income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends are declared daily and paid
monthly from net interest income.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other
affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may
transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts.
These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that
mature in 60 days or less from the date of purchase, and are collateralized
by U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency Securities, the market
value of which is required to be at least equal to the repurchase price.
For term repurchase agreement transactions, the underlying securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
repurchase price. FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities that
are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration
or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these
securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt
sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. At the end of the period,
restricted securities (excluding 144A issues) amounted to $238,991,000 or
2.8% of net assets.
3. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR pays all expenses,
except the compensation of the non-interested Trustees and certain
exceptions such as interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses. FMR receives a fee that is computed daily at an annual rate of
.45% of the fund's average net assets.
FMR also bears the cost of providing shareholder services to the fund. To
offset the cost of providing these services, FMR or its affiliates collect
certain transaction fees from the fund's shareholders which amounted to
$134,000 for the period.
SUB-ADVISER FEE. As the fund's investment sub-adviser, FMR Texas Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of FMR, receives a fee from FMR of 50% of the
management fee payable to FMR. The fee is paid prior to any voluntary
expense reimbursements which may be in effect, and after reducing the fee
for any payments by FMR pursuant to the fund's Distribution and Service
Plan.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although the markets have been fairly positive this year, no one can
predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted
below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This
downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was almost
ideal.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that can help investors in every type of market.
First, take a long-term approach when investing. If you can afford to leave
your money invested through the inevitable ups and downs of financial
markets, you will greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline.
Over time, for example, stock prices have gone up - and have significantly
outperformed other types of investments and stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage risk by diversifying your investments. A
stock mutual fund is already diversified, because it invests in many
different companies. You can increase your diversification by investing in
a number of different stock funds, or in different investment categories,
such as bonds. You should also keep money you'll need in the near future in
a more stable investment.
Finally, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing
a set amount of money at the same time each month or quarter. That way, you
can avoid getting caught up in the excitement of a rapidly-rising market -
and won't end up buying all your shares at market highs. This strategy
won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, but
it should help you lower the average cost of your purchases. For this to be
effective, you must continue to buy shares in both up and down markets.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We would be happy
to send you a Fidelity FundMatch kit, which can help you determine the mix
of investments that is right for you. You might also find it convenient to
set up a regular investment plan using the Fidelity Automatic Account
Builder.SM
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
To measure a money market fund's performance, you can look at either total
return or yield. Total return reflects the change in a fund's share price
over a given period, reinvestment of its dividends (or income) and the
effect of the fund's $5 account closeout fee on an average sized account.
Yield measures the income paid by a fund. Since a money market fund tries
to maintain a $1 share price, yield is an important measure of performance.
If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses during the periods
shown, the past five years and life of fund total returns would have been
lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years, or
since the fund started on February 5, 1990. For example, if you invested
$1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your
investment would be $1,050. To measure how the fund's performance stacked
up against its peers, you can compare it to the average government money
market fund, which reflects the performance of 229 government money market
funds with similar objectives tracked by IBC/Donoghue over the past six
months. Comparing the fund's performance to the consumer price index (CPI)
helps show how your fund did compared to inflation. (The periods covered by
the CPI and IBC/Donoghue numbers are the closest available match to those
covered by the fund.)

YIELD refers to the income paid by the fund over a given period. Yields for
money market funds are usually for seven-day periods, expressed as annual
percentage rates. A yield that assumes income earned is reinvested or
compounded is called an effective yield. The chart above shows the fund's
current seven-day yield at quarterly intervals over the past year. You can
compare these yields to the average government money market fund and the
average bank money market deposit account (MMDA). Figures for the average
government money market fund are from IBC/Donoghue. The MMDA average is
supplied by BANK RATE MONITOR.(Trademark)
A MONEY MARKET FUND'S TOTAL RETURNS AND YIELDS WILL VARY, AND REFLECT PAST
RESULTS RATHER THAN PREDICT FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
COMPARING
PERFORMANCE
There are some important
differences between a bank
money market deposit
account (MMDA) and a money
market fund. First, the U.S.
government neither insures
nor guarantees a money
market fund. In fact, there is no
assurance that a money
market fund will maintain a $1
share price. Second, a money
market fund returns to its
shareholders income earned
by the fund's investments after
expenses. This is in contrast to
banks, which set their MMDA
rates periodically based on
current interest rates,
competitors' rates, and
internal criteria.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Leland Barron, Portfolio Manager of Spartan U.S.
Government Money Market Fund
Q. LELAND, HOW HAS THE INVESTMENT CLIMATE CHANGED DURING THE PAST SIX
MONTHS?
A. Short-term yields have declined about one-half percentage point since
the end of April as market participants have continually tried to stay
ahead of the next rate cut by the Federal Reserve. The Fed acted only once
during the period, shaving one-quarter percentage point off the federal
funds rate in July. The change in Fed policy came about because growth had
slowed to the point where some economists were talking about a recession.
Since then, however, the economy has shown surprising, if sporadic, signs
of strength. During the third quarter, according to the initial estimate,
the economy expanded at an annual rate of more than 4%.
Q. HAVE RATES STABILIZED SINCE THEN?
A. No, they've kept falling. That's because now that the economy seems to
be doing better, attention has shifted to the budget debate in Congress. If
Congress acts forcefully to cut the budget deficit, some say the Fed will
have to respond with another rate cut. The argument gets a boost as well
from the remarkably low inflation rate, which has been hovering around 2%
all year. As long as inflation stays low, the Fed may feel it can safely
cut interest rates even before the economy feels the full effect of reduced
government spending. That kind of thinking kept up the downward pressure on
rates throughout the fall and early winter.
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY DURING THE PERIOD?
A. Yields on shorter-term instruments, including repurchase agreements and
variable rate securities, were especially attractive for much of the
period, and I built core positions around them. That kept the fund's
average maturity fairly low, between 30 and 40 days for much of the period.
Lately, though, I've found more buying opportunities in fixed-rate
securities as well as variable-rate securities with longer reset intervals,
and the fund's average maturity has gotten a little longer. At the end of
the period it was 43 days, which is still within the neutral range.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. Better than most of its peers. On October 31, 1995, the fund's seven-day
yield was 5.42%, compared to 5.69% six months earlier. The fund's total
return for the six-month period was 2.83%. That beat the total return of
2.64% for the average government money market fund during the same period,
according to IBC/Donoghue.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. While the economy has been giving off mixed signals lately, I think
overall it's doing better than some market participants give it credit for;
if so, another Fed rate cut may not be necessary. Moreover, even if
Congress were to come up with a fiscally restrictive budget, it's possible
that lower interest rates at the long end of the bond market could provide
the economy with all the stimulative counterbalance it needs, and again the
Fed would have no reason to act. But whether it's necessary or not, I think
if there is a budget agreement, the chances are good that the Fed will make
at least a token rate cut, and I need to be prepared for that, too.
Therefore my goal in the months ahead will be to maintain flexibility,
probably by keeping the fund's average maturity between 45 and 55 days.

WORDS TO KNOW
AGENCY ISSUE: Debt security
issued by a government
agency, such as the Federal
National Mortgage Association
(Fannie Mae). Although their
credit ratings are high, most
agency issues are not backed
by the full faith and credit of the
U.S. government.
AVERAGE MATURITY: The average
maturity of debt securities in a
fund, weighted by dollar
amount. When the average
maturity is short, the fund
manager believes interest
rates will rise. When the
average maturity is long, the
fund manager is expecting
rates to fall.
DISCOUNT RATE: The interest rate
the Federal Reserve charges
member banks for loans.
FEDERAL FUNDS RATE: The interest
rate banks charge each other
for overnight loans.
MATURITY: The amount of time
remaining before a debt
security is scheduled to be
redeemed.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENT:
Agreement between a seller
and a buyer in which the seller
promises to repurchase a block
of securities at a set price and
time. Also known as a "repo."
TREASURY OBLIGATION: Debt
security issued directly by the
U.S. government. Payment of
principal and interest are
guaranteed.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended October 31, 1995 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Spartan U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Hereford Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment
company. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of
the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, and
certain conditions therein, securities are valued initially at cost and
thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or
premium.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for
its fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding
income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends are declared daily and paid
monthly from net interest income.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other
affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may
transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts.
These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that
mature in 60 days or less from the date of purchase, and are collateralized
by U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency Securities, the market
value of which is required to be at least equal to the repurchase price.
For term repurchase agreement transactions, the underlying securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
repurchase price. FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. At all times that a reverse repurchase
agreement is outstanding, the fund identifies cash and liquid securities as
segregated in its custodian records with a value at least equal to its
obligation under the agreement.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities that
are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration
or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these
securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt
sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. At the end of the period,
restricted securities (excluding 144A issues) amounted to $4,764,632 or
0.6% of net assets.
3. JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT.
At the end of the period, the fund had 20% or more of its total investments
in repurchase agreements through a joint trading account. These repurchase
agreements were with entities whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and
found satisfactory by FMR. The maturity values of the joint trading account
investments were $324,419,394 at 5.93%. The investments in repurchase
agreements through the joint trading account are summarized as follows:
SUMMARY OF JOINT TRADING
DATED 10/31/95, DUE 11/1/95 5.93%
Number of dealers or banks 4
Maximum amount with one dealer or bank 40.5%
Aggregate principal amount of agreements $3,700,000,000
Aggregate maturity amount of agreements $3,700,609,056
Aggregate market value of collateral $3,816,483,868
Coupon rates of collateral 0% to 13.50%
Maturity dates of collateral 11/16/95 to 5/1/35
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR pays all expenses,
except the compensation of the non-interested Trustees and certain
exceptions such as interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses. FMR receives a fee that is computed daily at an annual rate of
.45% of the fund's average net assets.
FMR also bears the cost of providing shareholder services to the fund. To
offset the cost of providing these services, FMR or its affiliates collect
certain transaction fees from the fund's shareholders which amounted to
$10,601 for the period.
SUB-ADVISER FEE. As the fund's investment sub-adviser, FMR Texas Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of FMR, receives a fee from FMR of 50% of the
management fee payable to FMR. The fee is paid prior to any voluntary
expense reimbursements which may be in effect, and after reducing the fee
for any payments by FMR pursuant to the fund's Distribution and Service
Plan.
