		QUARTERLY REPORT TO THE LIMITED PARTNERS
			OF DSI REALTY INCOME FUND IX


DEAR LIMITED PARTNERS:

We are pleased to enclose the Partnership's unaudited consolidated financial
statements  for  the  period  ended  June 30, 1999.  The  following  is
Management's  discussion  and  analysis  of  the  Partnership's  financial
condition  and  results  of  its  operations.

For  the  three  month  periods  ended  June 30, 1999,  and  1998,  total
revenues  increased  8.1%  from  $680,298  to  $735,285  and  total expenses
increased 5.0% from $435,006 to $456,759.  Minority interest in income of
real estate joint venture increased 9.4% from $27,036 to $29,576.  As a result,
net income increased 14.1% from $218,256 to $248,950 for the three-month
period ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the same period in 1998.  Rental
revenue increased as a result of higher unit rental rates as occupancy levels
for the Partnership's six mini-storage facilities averaged 83.6% for the three
month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.  The Partnership is continuing its
marketing efforts to attract and keep new tenants in its various mini-storage
facilities.  Operating expenses increased approximately $22,100(5.9%) due
primarily to increases in salaries and wage expense and property management
fees.  Property management fees, which are based on rental revenue, increased
as a result of the increase in rental revenue.  General and adminstrative
expenses decreased slightly as a decrease in legal and professional expense
was offset by an increase in Colorado State taxes and relatively insignificant
increases in various other expense accounts.  Minority interest in income of
real estate joint venture increased primarily as a result of higher rental
revenue.

For the six  month  periods ended  June 30, 1999, and 1998, total  revenues
increased 7.7% from $1,340,160 to $1,443,628 and total expenses increased
11.7% from $848,665 to $947,563.  Minority interest in income of real estate
joint venture increased 6.6% from $51,824 to $55,225.  As a result, net income
increased slightly by 0.3% from $439,671 to $440,840 for the six-month period
ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the same period in 1998.  The increase
in revenue is primarily due to the increase in rental income as a result of
higher occupancy and unit rental rates, partially offset by a decrease in U-Haul
commission income.  Operating expenses increased approximately $101,800
(14.3%) due primarily to increases in maintenance and repair, salaries and
wages, workers compensation, power and sweeping expenses and property manage-
ment fees.  The increase in property management fees was discussed above.
Power and sweeping expense increased as a result of the substantial snow
removal costs associated with the blizzard that hit Illinois, where two of
the Partnership's properties are located.  General and administrative expenses
decreased approximately $2,900 (2.2%) for the same reasons as discussed above.
Minority interest in income of real estate joint venture increased primarily
as a result of higher rental revenue partially offset by an increase in
maintenance and repair expense.

The  General  Partners plan to continue their policy of funding  improvements
and  maintenance of  Partnership  properties with  cash  generated from
operations.  The Partnership's  resources appear to be adequate to meet
its needs.  The  General  Partners  anticipate  distributions to the Limited
Partners to  remain at the  current  level  for  the  foreseeable  future.

The Year 2000 issue refers to the inability of certain computer systems to
recognize a date using "00" as the Year 2000.  The Partnership has implemented
a Year 2000 programs, which has three phases: (1) identification; (2)
remediation; and (3) testing and verification.  The Partnership, as well as
the property management company and the Partnership's warehouse facilities
have completed those phases.  Computer programs have been upgraded and tested
to function properly with respect to the dates in the Year 2000 and thereafter.
Year 2000 compliance costs are nominal and have been expensed in the regular
course of business.  The Partnership provides no assurance that third-party
suppliers and customers will be compliant.  Nevertheless, the Partnership does
not believe that the Year 2000 issue will have a material adverse effect on
its financial condition or results of operations.
