              The attached final prospectus for a prior Series of National
Municipal Trust is hereby used as a preliminary prospectus for Series 175 of
the Trust.  The narrative information relating to the operation of this Series
and the structure of the final prospectus for this Series will be
substantially the same as that set forth in the attached prospectus.
Information with respect to pricing, the number of Units, dates and summary
information regarding the characteristics of securities to be deposited in
this Series is not now available and will be different from that included in
the attached final prospectus since each Series has a unique Portfolio.  The
ratings of the securities of this Series are expected to be comparable to
those of the securities in the previous Series.  However, the estimated
current return and estimated long-term return for this Series (which will
depend on the interest rates and prices of the securities to be deposited in,
and the estimated annual expenses of, this Series) may vary materially from
that of the previous Series.  Accordingly, the information contained herein
with regard to the previous Series should be considered as being presented for
informational purposes only.  Investors should contact account executives of
the Sponsor who will be informed of the expected effective date of this Series
and who will be supplied with complete information with respect to such Series
on the day of effectiveness of the registration statement relating to Units of
this Series.     

            Information contained herein is subject to completion or
amendment.  A registration statement relating to these securities has been
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  These securities may not
be sold nor may offers to buy them be accepted prior to the time the
registration statement becomes effective.  This prospectus shall not
constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall
there be any sale of these securities in any State in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification
under the securities laws of such state.

                         REFERENCE TRUST AGREEMENT


          This reference Trust Agreement dated            , 19   among
Prudential Securities Incorporated as Depositor, United States Trust

provisions in full and incorporates other provisions by reference to
the document entitled "National Municipal Trust, Trust Indenture and 
Agreement" (the "Basic Agreement") dated September 6, 1989 as amended.
Such provisions as are incorporated by reference constitute a single 
instrument (the "Indenture").

                             WITNESSETH THAT:

          In consideration of the premises and of the mutual agreements

                  STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF TRUST

          Subject to the provisions of Part II hereof, all the provisions
contained in the Basic Agreement are herein incorporated by reference in
their entirety and shall be deemed to be a part of this instrument as fully
and to the same extent as though said provisions had been set forth in full

          herein) as are listed in schedules of a Supplemental Reference
          Trust Agreement and which are deposited in connection with an
          increase in the number of Units initially specified in a
          Reference Trust Agreement."
<PAGE>


               "(2) "Additional Deposited Units" shall mean such
          Deposited Units (as defined herein) as are listed in schedules
          of a Supplemental Reference Trust Agreement and which are
          deposited in connection with an increase in the number of
          Units initially specified in a Reference Trust Agreement."

               "(3) "Additional Securities" shall mean such Securities
          (as defined herein) as are listed in schedules of a

          initially specified in a Reference Trust Agreement.
          "Additional Securities" may consist of "Additional Bonds"
          and/or "Additional Deposited Units."

               "(4) "Additional Units" shall mean such Units (as defined
          herein) as are issued in respect of Additional Securities."

               "(31) "Supplemental Reference Trust Agreement" shall mean a

          and to insert the following language in renumbered paragraph (6)
          defining "Bonds" after each reference to Reference Trust
          Agreement:

               "and Supplemental Reference Trust Agreements"

          and to replace the last word in renumbered paragraph (6) defining
          "Bonds" with the word "relate"

          and to insert the following language in renumbered paragraph (10)
          defining "Contract Bonds" after the reference to Reference Trust
          Agreement and redesignate the subsequent clause accordingly:

               "(ii) Bonds listed in schedules of Supplemental
               Reference Trust Agreements"

          and to add the following language to the end of renumbered
          paragraph (27) defining "Securities":

               "deposited in trust and listed on a schedule
               attached to the Reference Trust Agreement or on any
               schedule of a Supplemental Reference Trust

          and to add the following language to the end of renumbered
          paragraph (35) defining "Unit":


<PAGE>


               "hereof and increased by the number of Additional
               Units created pursuant to Section 2.05 hereof."

     (b)  Article II, entitled "Deposit of Securities; Acceptance of Trust;
          Issuance of Units; Form of Certificates", shall be amended to add
          a new Section 2.05 entitled "Deposit of Additional Securities" to
          read as follows:

               "From time to time and in the discretion of the
               Depositor, the Depositor may make deposits of
               Additional Securities duly endorsed in blank or
               accompanied by all necessary instruments of
               assignment and transfer in proper form (or contracts
               to purchase Additional Securities and cash or an
               irrevocable letter of credit in an amount necessary
               to consummate the purchase of any Additional
               Securities pursuant to such contracts ("Additional
               Contract Securities")) and Cash (as defined below),
               if Cash is an asset of the Trust immediately prior
               to the supplemental deposit, provided that each
               deposit of Additional Securities and Cash, if any,
               deposited during the 90-day period following the
               first deposit of Securities in the Trust shall
               replicate, to the extent practicable as hereinafter
               provided, the Securities (including Contract Bonds)
               and shall exactly replicate Cash (other than Cash to
               be distributed only to the Sponsor or in respect of
               Units issued and outstanding prior to the deposit)
               held in the Trust immediately prior to each such
               deposit; and, provided further that each deposit of
               Additional Securities and Cash, if any, subsequent
               to such 90-day period shall exactly replicate the
               Securities (including Contract Bonds) and Cash
               (other than Cash to be distributed only to the
               Sponsor or in respect of Units issued and
               outstanding prior to the deposit) held in the Trust
               immediately prior to each such deposit.  For
               purposes of this Section 2.05 Cash means cash on
               hand in the Trust and/or cash receivable by the
               Trust as of the date of the supplemental deposit in
               respect of a coupon date which has occurred on or
               before the date of such supplemental deposit,
               reduced by payables and accrued expenses on such
               date, but shall not include cash received on any
               Security which is allocable to the amount paid to
               the Unit Holders of record on the first settlement
               date for the Trust. 



<PAGE>


                    Accordingly, for a deposit subsequent to the
               90-day period following the first deposit of
               Securities:

                    (l)  Any Additional Bonds included in a deposit
               shall be identical to Bonds held in the Trust
               immediately prior to the deposit and in face amounts
               such that (i) the face amount of Additional Bonds of
               a particular issue included in a deposit divided by
               (ii) the aggregate of the face amounts of all
               Additional Bonds included in the deposit results in
               a fraction which is the same as the fraction
               resulting from division of (iii) the aggregate face
               amount of the Bonds of the same issue held in the
               Trust divided by (iv) the aggregate face amount of
               all Bonds held in the Trust immediately prior to the
               deposit;

                    (2)  Any deposit of Additional Securities shall
               be accompanied by Cash in an amount bearing the same
               ratio to the aggregate face amount of all Additional
               Bonds in the deposit as the Cash held in the Trust
               immediately prior to the deposit bears to the
               aggregate face amount of all Bonds held in the Trust
               immediately prior to the deposit, exclusive of Cash
               held in the Trust and designated for distribution
               only to the Sponsor or with respect to Units issued
               and outstanding prior to the deposit; and

                    (3)  Any Additional Deposited Units included in
               a deposit shall be identical with Deposited Units
               then held in the Trust and shall be in numbers
               determined by multiplying the number of Deposited
               Units with respect to a particular prior series of
               the National Municipal Trust held in the Trust
               immediately prior to the deposit by the fraction
               obtained by dividing the face amount of all
               Additional Bonds included in the deposit by the face
               amount of all Bonds included in the Trust
               immediately prior to the deposit; 

               and for a deposit during the 90-day period following
               the first deposit of Securities in the Trust, the
               rules stated in paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) of this
               Section 2.05 shall apply except that any Additional
               Securities (including Additional Contract
               Securities) need be only substantially similar
               (rather than identical to) Securities held in the
               Trust immediately prior to the deposit and the
               proportionality requirements need be met only to the
<PAGE>


               extent practicable.  Without limiting the generality
               of the phrase "to the extent practicable", if the
               Depositor specifies a minimum face amount of a Bond
               or minimum number of Deposited Units with respect to
               a particular trust to be included in a deposit and
               such minimum requirement cannot be met or if a
               Security identical to a Security held in the Trust
               is not readily obtainable, substitution of other
               substantially similar Securities (including
               Securities of an issue originally deposited) in
               order to meet the foregoing proportionality
               requirements shall be considered as a meeting of
               such requirements "to the extent practicable".

               Each deposit of Additional Securities shall be
               listed in and made in accordance with a
               Supplementary Schedule to the Reference Trust
               Agreement stating the date of such deposit and the
               number of Additional Units being issued therefor.
               The execution by the Depositor in connection with
               the deposit of Additional Securities of a
               Supplementary Schedule to the Reference Trust
               Agreement shall constitute the approval by the
               Depositor as satisfactory in form and substance of
               the contracts to be entered into or assumed by the
               Trustee with regard to any Additional Securities
               listed on such Supplementary Schedule and
               authorization to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust
               to enter into or assume such contracts and otherwise
               to carry out the terms and provisions thereof or to
               take other appropriate action in order to complete
               the deposit of the Additional Securities covered
               thereby into the Trust."

     (c)  Article III, entitled "Administration of Trust", shall be amended
          as follows:

          (i)  section 3.05 Distribution shall be amended by
               replacing "$1.00" with "$5.00" in the first and last
               sentences of the third paragraph; and 

          (ii) section 3.14 Replacement Bond shall be amended by
               deleting from part (vi) of the second sentence the
               words "in the category A or better" and inserting
               after the word "organization" the words "in the same
               category as the Contract Bond which it replaces".

     (d)  Article VI, entitled "Trustee", section 6.01 General Definition
          of Trustee's Liabilities, Rights and Duties shall be amended as
          follows:
<PAGE>


          (i)  Section 6.01(g) shall be amended by deleting the word
               "originally"

          (ii) Section 6.01(g) shall be amended by inserting the phrase
               "including supplemental deposits, if any, of Securities in
               the Trust" after the first reference to "Trust".

     (e)  Article IX, entitled Additional Covenants; Miscellaneous
          Provisions", Section 9.01 Amendments shall be amended as follows:

          (i)  To add the following phrase after the word "Indenture" in
               (1):

               "except as the result of the deposit of Additional
               Securities, as herein provided"

          (ii) To add the following phrase after the word "Bonds" in (2):

               "except in the manner permitted by the Indenture as
               in effect on the first deposit of Securities".
