LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS                                    AFD EXCHANGE RESERVES
_______________________________________________________________________________

October 29, 1997

Dear Shareholder,

We are pleased to provide an overview of market and Fund activity during AFD 
Exchange Reserves annual reporting period ended September 30, 1997. AFD 
Exchange Reserves serves as the money market fund exchange vehicle for the 
Alliance mutual funds. The Fund's investment objective is to provide maximum 
current income consistent with safety of principal and liquidity.

The Fund's net assets at the end of September totaled approximately $139.6 
million. The Fund remains invested in high quality money market securities 
which include marketable obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. 
government and its agencies, certificates of deposits, and commercial paper. As 
of September 30, the average weighted maturity of the portfolio was 47 days.

ECONOMIC COMMENTARY
During the reporting period, the Federal Reserve kept rates steady at 5.5%. The 
U.S. economy grew at an above-trend 4.1% during the first half of 1997. We 
expect the economy to decelerate to a 2.8% growth rate in the second half of 
1997 and to a sustainable 2.5% rate in 1998. Consumer prices rose 2.2% in the 
third quarter from the same period in 1996. Despite this excellent inflation 
performance, strong growth and labor market pressures create a risk of higher 
U.S. inflation in 1998. We expect the Federal Reserve to increase official 
rates by 25 basis points during the next six months with little disruptive 
impact on U.S. securities markets.

We appreciate your continued interest in AFD Exchange Reserves.

Sincerely,


John D. Carifa
Chairman and President


AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND IS NOT (I) INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY THE U.S. 
GOVERNMENT, (II) A DEPOSIT OR OBLIGATION OF, OR GUARANTEED OR ENDORSED BY ANY 
BANK, OR (III) FEDERALLY INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION, 
THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD OR ANY OTHER AGENCY. THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT 
THE FUND WILL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN A STABLE NET ASSET VALUE OF $1.00 PER SHARE.

_______________________________________________________________________________

NOTE A: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
AFD Exchange Reserves (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company 
Act of 1940 as a diversified open-end investment company. The Fund's investment 
objective is to provide maximum current income to the extent consistent with 
safety of principal and liquidity. The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C 
and Advisor Class shares. All four classes of shares have identical voting, 
dividend, liquidation and other rights, except that each class bears its own 
distribution and transfer agency expenses and has exclusive voting rights with 
respect to its distribution plan.

Class A shares are sold for cash without any initial sales charge at the time 
of purchase. On cash purchases of $1,000,000 or more, however, a contingent 
deferred sales charge ("CDSC") equal to 1% of the lesser of net asset value at 
the time of redemption or original cost if redeemed within one year will be 
charged. Class A shares may be exchanged for Class A shares of other Alliance 
Mutual Funds, subject, in the case of Class A shares of the Fund that were 
purchased for cash, to any applicable initial sales charge at the time of 
exchange. Class A shares of the Fund also are offered in exchange for Class A 
shares of other Alliance Mutual Funds without any sales charge at the time of 
purchase, but on Class A shares that were received in exchange for Alliance 
Mutual Fund Class A shares that were not subject to an initial sales charge 
when originally purchased for cash because the purchase was of $1,000,000 or 
more, a 1% CDSC may be assessed if shares of the Fund are redeemed within one 
year of the Alliance Mutual Fund Class A shares originally purchased for cash.

Class B shares are sold for cash without an initial sales charge. However, a 
CDSC is charged if shares are redeemed within four years after purchase. The 
CDSC charge declines from 4% to zero depending on the period of time the shares 
are held. Class B shares purchased for cash will automatically convert to Class 
A shares after eight years. Class B shares may be exchanged for Class B shares 
of other Alliance Mutual Funds. Class B shares also are offered in exchange for 
Class B shares of other Alliance Mutual Funds without any initial sales charge. 
However, a CDSC may be charged if shares are redeemed within a certain number 
of years of the original purchase of Alliance Mutual Fund Class B shares. When 
redemption occurs, the applicable CDSC schedule is that which applied to the 
Alliance Mutual Fund Class B shares originally purchased for cash at the time 
of their purchase.

Class C shares are sold for cash or in exchange for Class C shares of another 
Alliance Mutual Fund. Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales 
charge of 1% on redemptions made within the first year after purchase. Class C 
shares do not convert to any other class of shares of the Fund. Class C shares 
may be exchanged for Class C shares of other Alliance Mutual Funds.

Advisor Class shares are sold for cash or in exchange for Advisor Class shares 
of another Alliance Mutual Fund without any initial sales charge or contingent 
CDSC and are not subject to ongoing distribution expenses. Advisor Class shares 
are offered solely to (i) investors participating in fee-based programs and to 
certain retirement plan accounts.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the 
Fund.

1. VALUATION OF SECURITIES
Securities in which the Fund invests are traded primarily in the 
over-the-counter market and are valued at amortized cost, under which method a 
portfolio instrument is valued at cost and any premium or discount is amortized 
on a constant basis to maturity.

2. ORGANIZATION EXPENSES
Organization expenses have been deferred and are being amortized on a 
straight-line basis through March, 1999.

3. 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 all of its 
investment company taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to its 
shareholders. Therefore, no provisions for federal income or excise taxes are 
required.

4. DIVIDENDS
The Fund declares dividends daily and automatically reinvests such dividends in 
additional shares at net asset value. Net realized capital gains on 
investments, if any, are expected to be distributed near calendar year end.

5. INCOME AND EXPENSES
All income earned and expenses incurred by the Fund are borne on a pro-rata 
basis by each outstanding class of shares, based on the proportionate interest 
in the Fund represented by the shares of such class, except that the Fund's 
Class B and Class C shares bear higher distribution and transfer agent fees 
than Class A shares and the Advisory Class shares have no distribution fees.

6. INVESTMENT INCOME AND INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Interest income is accrued daily. Investment transactions are recorded on the 
date securities are purchased or sold. Investment gains and losses are 
determined on the identified cost basis. It is the Fund's policy to take 
possession of securities as collateral under repurchase agreements and to 
determine on a daily basis that the value of such securities are sufficient to 
cover the value of the repurchase agreements.


NOTE B: ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Fund pays its Adviser, Alliance Capital Management L.P. an advisory fee at 
the annual rate of .25 of 1% on the first $1.25 billion of average daily net 
assets; .24 of 1% on the next $.25 billion; .23 of 1% on the next $.25 billion; 
 .22 of 1% on the next $.25 billion; .21 of 1% on the next $1 billion; and .20 
of 1% in excess of $3 billion. In addition to the advisory fee, the Fund also 
reimburses the Adviser for certain legal and accounting services provided to 
the Fund by the Adviser. For the year ended September 30, 1997, the Fund 
incurred costs of $96,000.

The Fund compensates Alliance Fund Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of 
the Adviser, under a Transfer Agency Agreement for providing personnel and 
facilities to perform transfer agency services. Such compensation amounted to 
$160,742 for the year ended September 30, 1997.


NOTE C: DISTRIBUTION SERVICES AGREEMENT
The Fund has adopted a Distribution Services Agreement (the "Agreement") 
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Class A, 
Class B and Class C. Under the Agreement, the Fund pays a distribution fee to 
the Distributor at an annual rate of up to .50 of 1% of the Fund's average 
daily net assets attributable to Class A shares, 1.00% of the average daily net 
assets attributable to Class B shares and .75 of 1% of the average daily net 
assets attributable to Class C shares. There is no distribution fee on the 
Advisor Class shares. Such fee is accrued daily and paid monthly. The Agreement 
provides that the Distributor will use such payments in their entirety for 
distribution assistance and promotional activities. The Agreement also provides 
that the Adviser may use its own resources to finance the distribution of the 
Fund's shares.


NOTE D: INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
At September 30, 1997, the cost of securities for federal income tax purposes 
was the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes. At September 30, 
1997, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $2,497, of which $2,186 
expires in 2003 and $311 expires in the year 2004.

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS AFD EXCHANGE RESERVES

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including 
the portfolio of investments of AFD Exchange Reserves as of September 30, 1997 
and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets, and financial 
highlights for the periods indicated in the accompanying financial statements. 
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of 
the Fund's 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 
September 30, 1997 by correspondence with the custodian. 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 AFD 
Exchange Reserves as of September 30, 1997, and the results of its operations, 
changes in its net assets, and financial highlights for the periods indicated, 
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
