Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Series
Monthly Report
July 1999

Dear Limited Partner:

The Net Asset Value per Unit for each of the four Morgan Stanley Dean
Witter Spectrum Funds as of July 31, 1999 was as follows:

Funds                    N.A.V.                   % change for month
Spectrum Global Balanced $15.90                             -1.71%
Spectrum Select          $22.60                             -4.42%
Spectrum Strategic       $12.81                             -1.06%
Spectrum Technical       $15.75                             -3.88%

In Spectrum Global Balanced, a balanced portfolio of stocks, bonds and
managed futures, losses were experienced during July primarily in the
global stock index component from long German stock index futures positions
as German equity prices declined as investors reacted to the strengthening
euro by selling stocks.  Additional losses were incurred from long S&P 500
Index futures positions as domestic equity prices declined on inflationary
concerns in the U.S. after Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said
that the economy may be growing fast enough to warrant a second interest
rate increase later this year.  In the global interest rate futures
component, losses were experienced from long U.S. interest rate futures
positions as domestic bond prices moved lower during the second half of the
month as reports on labor costs, home sales, manufacturing and personal
income added to concern that the U.S. Federal Reserve will raise interest
rates soon.  In soft commodities, losses were recorded from long sugar
futures positions as prices decreased amid seasonally slow demand, the end
of Russia's spring buying spree and ample world supplies.  A portion of the
Fund's overall losses was offset by gains in the energy markets recorded
during the first half of July from long crude oil futures positions as
prices moved higher due to decreasing U.S. oil inventories and continuing
adherence to output reductions by OPEC countries.  In agriculturals, gains
were recorded from short soybean oil futures positions as prices fell due
to rain in scattered areas of the central Midwest, as well as forecasts for
cooler temperatures.  In the currency markets, gains were recorded from
long Japanese yen positions as the value of the yen reached a 5 1/2 month
high versus the U.S. dollar due to inflationary pressures in the United
States and optimistic prospects for economic growth in Japan.

In Spectrum Select, a Fund managed by multiple trading advisors who employ
long-term technical trend-following trading strategies, losses were
recorded during July primarily in the currency markets from short euro
positions as its value reversed its recent downward trend versus the U.S.
dollar due to a better-than-expected German business sentiment survey and a
record U.S. trade deficit.  Additional losses were recorded in the global
stock index futures markets from long S&P 500 Index futures positions as
prices fell after Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said that the
economy may be growing fast enough to warrant a second interest rate
increase later this year.  Smaller losses were experienced in the global
interest rate futures markets from short positions in Japanese interest
rate futures as prices moved higher amid investors' fears that a strong
Japanese yen might slowdown that nation's budding recovery.  A portion of
the Fund's overall losses was offset by gains recorded in the energy
markets from long unleaded gas futures positions earlier in the month as
prices increased due to a fall in U.S. oil inventories, production
difficulties in Nigeria and continued adherence to output reductions from
OPEC countries.  Additional gains were recorded in the soft commodities
markets from short coffee futures positions as prices declined as fears of
impending frost damage to Brazilian crops evaporated and on predictions
that Brazil would reap a record harvest next year.  In metals, profits
resulted from short gold futures positions as prices reached 20-year lows
amid continuing murmurs that central banks were offloading or seeking to
offload the precious metal, following the Bank of England's example.
Smaller gains were experienced in the agricultural markets from short
soybean oil futures positions as prices fell earlier in the month on
forecasts for beneficial crop weather.

In Spectrum Strategic, a Fund managed by multiple trading advisors who
employ fundamental trading methodologies, losses were experienced during
July primarily in the currency markets from short Japanese yen positions as
its value strengthened relative to the U.S. dollar in the absence of any
U.S. dollar-buying intervention by the Bank of Japan and on talks that
Japan will end its zero interest rate policy.  Later in the month,
additional losses were also recorded in this
<PAGE>
market as the value of the yen reached a 5 1/2 month high versus the U.S.
dollar due to inflationary pressures in the United States and optimistic
prospects for economic growth in Japan.  In the global interest rate
futures markets, losses were recorded from short U.S. interest rate futures
positions as U.S. Treasury prices temporarily climbed during mid-month as
talks of economic problems in Latin America sent Argentine and Brazilian
stock prices sharply lower, thus fueling demand for the safety of U.S.
government securities.  In the agricultural markets, losses were recorded
early in the month from long positions in soybeans and corn futures as
prices declined on forecasts for favorable crop weather in the U.S.  A
portion of the Fund's overall losses was offset by gains in the energy
markets during the first half of July from long futures positions in crude
oil and its refined products, unleaded gas and heating oil, as oil prices
moved higher due to decreasing U.S. oil inventories and continuing
adherence to output reductions by OPEC countries.  In the metals markets,
gains were recorded from long zinc futures positions as base metals prices
rallied as a result of recent producer output cutbacks and stock drawdowns.
In the global stock index futures markets, gains were recorded later in the
month from long positions in Nikkei Index futures as Japanese equity prices
were boosted higher on views that the Japanese economy is improving,
reports of strong industrial production data and gains in the high-tech
sector.

In Spectrum Technical, a Fund managed by multiple trading advisors who
employ long-term technical trend-following trading systems, losses were
recorded during July primarily in the currency markets from short British
pound positions as its value increased relative to the U.S. dollar in
anticipation of British economic data and on the weakness of the U.S.
dollar.  Short positions in the Swiss franc and the European common
currency, the euro, were also unprofitable as the value of these currencies
also reversed their recent downward trend versus the U.S. dollar due to a
better-than-expected German business sentiment survey and a record U.S.
trade deficit.  In global stock index futures, losses were experienced from
long positions in ASE All Ordinaries Index futures as Australian stock
prices moved lower on inflationary concerns in the U.S.  Long S&P 500 Index
futures positions also resulted in losses as prices declined after Federal
Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said that the U.S. economy may be growing
fast enough to warrant a second interest rate increase this year.  In the
agricultural markets, smaller losses resulted from long soybean meal
futures positions as prices declined amid a drop in soybean prices.  A
portion of the Fund's overall losses was offset by gains recorded in the
energy markets from long crude oil futures positions as oil prices
increased due to a fall in U.S. oil inventories, production difficulties in
Nigeria and continued adherence to output reductions from OPEC countries.
Additional gains were recorded in the global interest rate futures markets
from short German bond futures positions as most European bond prices
decreased on signs of a resurgence in that region's economy.  Smaller gains
were experienced in the metals markets from short gold futures positions as
prices reached 20-year lows amid continuing murmurs that central banks were
offloading or seeking to offload the precious metal, following the Bank of
England's example.

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization - Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Global
Balanced L.P. ("Spectrum Global Balanced"), Morgan Stanley Dean
Witter Spectrum Select L.P. ("Spectrum Select"), Morgan Stanley
Dean Witter Spectrum Strategic L.P. ("Spectrum Strategic") and
Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Technical L.P. ("Spectrum
Technical") (individually, a "Partnership", or collectively,
the "Partnerships") are limited partnerships organized to
engage primarily in the speculative trading of futures and
forward contracts, options on futures contracts and on physical
commodities, and other commodities interests, including, but
not limited to, foreign currencies, financial instruments,
precious and industrial metals, energy products, and
agriculturals (collectively, "futures interests").  The general
partner for each Partnership is Demeter Management Corporation
("Demeter").  The non-clearing commodity broker is Dean Witter
Reynolds, Inc. ("DWR") and an unaffiliated clearing commodity
broker, Carr Futures Inc. ("Carr"), provides clearing and
execution services. Both Demeter and DWR are wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co.

Demeter is required to maintain a 1% minimum interest in the
equity of each Partnership and income (losses) are shared by
the General and Limited Partners based upon their proportional
ownership interests.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition - Futures interests are open commitments
until settlement date.  They are valued at market and the
resulting unrealized gains and losses are reflected in income.
Monthly, DWR pays each Partnership interest income based upon
80% of its average daily "Net Assets" (as defined in the
limited partnership agreements), for the month in the case of
Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic and Spectrum Technical and
100% in the case of Spectrum Global Balanced.  The interest
rate is equal to a prevailing rate on U.S. Treasury bills.  For
purposes of such interest payments, Net Assets do not include
monies due  to the Partnership on futures interests, but not
actually received.

Net Income (Loss) per Unit - Net income (loss) per Unit is
computed using the weighted average number of Units outstanding
during the period.

Brokerage and Related Transaction Fees and Costs - Brokerage
fees for Spectrum Global Balanced are accrued at a flat monthly
rate of 1/12 of 4.60% (a 4.60% annual rate) of the Net Assets
as of the first day of each month.

Spectrum Technical are accrued at a flat monthly rate of 1/12
of 7.25% (a 7.25% annual rate) of the Net Assets as of the
first day of each month.

Such fee covers all brokerage commissions, transaction fees and
costs and ordinary administrative and continuing offering
expenses.

Operating Expenses - The Partnerships incur monthly management
fees and may incur incentive fees.  All common administrative
and continuing offering expenses including legal, auditing,
accounting, filing fees and other related expenses are borne by
DWR through the brokerage fees paid by each Partnership.

Income Taxes - No provision for income taxes has been made in
the accompanying financial statements, as partners are
individually responsible for reporting income or loss based
upon their respective share of each Partnership's revenues and
expenses for income tax purposes.

Distributions - Distributions, other than on redemptions of
Units, are made on a pro-rata basis at the sole discretion of
Demeter.  No distributions have been made to date.

Continuing Offering - Units of each Partnership are offered at
a price equal to 100% of the Net Asset Value per Unit as of the
close of business on the last day of the month.  No selling
commissions or charges related to the continuing offering of
Units are borne by the Limited Partners or the Partnership.
DWR will pays all such costs.

Redemptions - Limited Partners may redeem some or all of their
Units at 100% of the Net Asset Value Per Unit as of the end of
the last day that is six months after the closing at which a
person becomes a Limited Partner, upon five business days
advance notice by redemption form to Demeter.  Thereafter,
Units redeemed on or prior to the last day of the twelfth month
after such Units were purchased will be subject to a redemption
charge equal to 2% of the Net Asset Value of a Unit on the date
of such redemption.  Units redeemed after the last day of the
twelfth month and on or prior to the last day of the twenty-
fourth month after which such Units were purchased will be
subject to a redemption charge equal to 1% of the Net Asset
Value of a Unit on the date of such redemption.  Units redeemed
after the last day of the twenty-fourth month after which such
Units were purchased will not be subject to a redemption
charge.  The foregoing redemptions charges will be paid to DWR.
Redemptions must be made in whole Units, in a minimum amount of
50 Units, unless a Limited Partner is redeeming his entire
interest in a Partnership.
