                               June 30, 1997


(1)	GENERAL INFORMATION AND SUMMARY

IDS Managed Futures II, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited
partnership organized on April 21, 1987 under the Delaware
Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act.  The Partnership was
formed to speculatively trade commodity interests, including
futures contracts, forward contracts, physical commodities and
related options thereon pursuant to the trading instructions of
independent trading advisors.  The General Partners of the
Partnership are CIS Investments, Inc. ("CISI") and IDS Futures
Corporation ("IDS Futures") (collectively, the "General
Partners").  The General Partners are registered commodity pool
operators under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and are
responsible for administering the business and affairs of the
Partnership exclusive of trading decisions.  CISI is an
affiliate of Cargill Investor Services, Inc. ("CIS"), the
clearing broker for the Partnership.  IDS Futures is an
affiliate of American Express Financial Advisors Inc. ("AXP
Advisors"), formerly  IDS Financial Services Inc., which acts as
the Partnership's introducing broker and selling agent.  Trading
decisions for the Partnership were made by two independent
commodity trading advisors, John W. Henry & Company, Inc. and
Sabre Fund Management Limited, until July 31, 1997.  Effective
August 1, 1997 the General Partners added Welton Investment
Corporation as an additional independent commodity trading
advisor for the Partnership.

Units of limited partnership interest ("Units") were offered by
AXP Advisors commencing July 14, 1987 through December 31, 1988.
The total amount of the offering was $40,000,000.  There is no
definite number of Units authorized for the Partnership because
investors affiliated with the Selling Agent of the Partnership
were not required to pay selling commissions.  As of December
31, 1988, 60,127.14 Units representing a total investment of
$14,983,249 had been sold and accepted into the Partnership
(excluding 627.95 Units purchased by the General Partners for
$150,110).  A final group of investors purchasing Units worth
$423,750 between December 20, 1988 and December 31, 1988 were
admitted into the Partnership on January 31, 1989, at a Net
Asset Value of $255.27.  The General Partners also purchased an
additional $3,960 of Units on January 31, 1989.

No redemptions are permitted by a subscriber during the first
six months after he or she has been admitted to the Partnership.
Thereafter, a Limited Partner may cause any or all of his or
her Units to be redeemed by the Partnership effective as of the
last trading day of any month of the Partnership based on the
Net Asset Value per Unit on ten days written notice to the
General Partners.  There are no additional charges to the
investors at redemption.  The General Partners may declare
additional redemption dates upon notice to the Limited Partners.
Payment will be made within ten business days of the effective
date of the redemption.  The Partnership's Limited Partnership
Agreement contains a full description of redemption and
distribution procedures.

The Partnership shall be terminated on December 31, 2007 if
none of the following occur prior to that date: (1) investors
holding more than 50 percent of the outstanding Units notify the
General Partners to dissolve the Partnership as of a specific
date;  (2) withdrawal, removal, insolvency, bankruptcy, legal
disability or dissolution of the General Partners of the
Partnership;  (3) bankruptcy or insolvency of the Partnership;
(4) decrease in the net asset value to less than $1,500,000; (5)
the Partnership is declared unlawful, or (6) the net asset value
per Unit declines to less than $125 per Unit and the General
Partners elect to withdraw from the Partnership.


(2)	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting and reporting policies of the Partnership
conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to
general practices within the commodities industry.  The
following is a description of the more significant of those
policies which the Partnership follows in preparing its
financial statements.


Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation
No. 39 Reporting

Reporting in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 39 ("FIN
39") is not applicable to the Partnership and the provisions of
FIN 39 do not have any effect on the Partnership's financial
statements.  


Revenue Recognition

Commodity futures contracts, forward contracts, physical
commodities and related options are recorded on the trade date. 
All such transactions are reported on an identified cost basis. 
Realized gains and losses are determined by comparing the
purchase price to the sales price when the trades are offset. 
Unrealized gains and losses reflected in the statements of
financial condition represent the difference between original
contract amount and market value (as determined by exchange
settlement prices for futures contracts and related options and
cash dealer prices at a predetermined time for forward
contracts, physical commodities and their related options) as of
the last business day of the quarter.

The Partnership earns interest on 100 percent of the
Partnership's average monthly cash balance on deposit with the
Clearing Broker at a rate equal to 80 percent of the average
90day Treasury bill rate for U.S. Treasury bills issued during
that month.


Commissions

Brokerage commissions, National Futures Association fees, and
clearing and exchange fees are accrued on a round-turn basis on
open commodity futures contracts.  The Partnership pays
commissions on trades executed on its behalf at a rate of $58.75
per round turn contract to CIS which in turn reallocates $37.25
per round turn contract to AXP Advisors, an affiliate of IDS
Futures. 


Foreign Currency Transactions

Trading accounts on foreign currency denominations are
susceptible to both movements on underlying contract markets as
well as fluctuation in currency rates.  Foreign currencies are
translated into U.S. dollars for closed positions at an average
exchange rate for the quarter while quarterend balances are
translated at the quarterend currency rates.  The impact of the
translation is reflected in the statement of operations.


Statements of Cash Flow

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash represents
cash on deposit with the Clearing Broker in commodity futures
trading accounts.   


(3)	FEES

Management fees are accrued and paid monthly, and incentive
fees are accrued monthly and paid quarterly.  Trading decisions
for the period of these financial statements were made by John
W. Henry & Company, Inc. ("JWH") and Sabre Fund Management
Limited ("Sabre") the Partnership's Commodity Trading Advisors
("CTAs").   Pursuant to an agreement between the Partnership and
JWH,  JWH receives 1/3 of 1% of the monthend net asset value of
the Partnership under its management.  Pursuant to an agreement
between the Partnership and Sabre dated December 26, 1995 and
effective January 1, 1996, Sabre's monthly management fee was
reduced from 1/3 of 1% to 1/6 of 1% of the Partnership's Net
Asset Value subject to Sabre's trading performance.  This
reduction in management fees will continue until such time that
the cumulative trading performance of Sabre reaches 40%.  The
Partnership pays each Advisor a quarterly incentive fee of 15%
of trading profits achieved on the NAV of the Partnership
allocated by the General Partners to such Advisor's management.


(4)	INCOME TAXES

No provision for Federal Income Taxes has been made in the
accompanying financial statements as each partner is responsible
for reporting income (loss) based on the prorata share of the
profits or losses of the Partnership.  The Partnership is
responsible for the Illinois Personal Property and Income Tax
based on the operating results of the Partnership.  Such tax
amounted to $0 and $2,779 for the periods ended June 30, 1997
and June 30, 1996, respectively, and is included in operating
expenses in the Statements of Operations.


(5)     FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF BALANCE SHEET RISK 

The Partnership was formed to speculatively trade Commodity
Interests.  It has commodity transactions and all of its cash on
deposit at its Clearing Broker at all times.  In the event that
volatility of trading of other customers of the Clearing Broker
impaired the ability of the Clearing Broker to satisfy its
obligations to the Partnership, the Partnership would be exposed
to offbalance sheet risk.  Such risk is defined in Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 105 ("SFAS 105") as a credit
risk.  To mitigate this risk, the Clearing Broker, pursuant to
the mandates of the Commodity Exchange Act, is required to
maintain funds deposited by customers relating to futures
contracts in regulated commodities in separate bank accounts
which are designated as segregated customers' accounts.  In
addition, the Clearing Broker has set aside funds deposited by
customers relating to foreign futures and options in separate
bank accounts which are designated as customer secured accounts.
 Lastly, the Clearing Broker is subject to the Securities and
Exchange Commission's Uniform Net Capital Rule which requires
the maintenance of minimum net capital at least equal to 4% of
the funds required to be segregated pursuant to the Commodity
Exchange Act.  The Clearing Broker has controls in place to make
certain that all customers maintain adequate margin deposits for
the positions which they maintain at the Clearing Broker.  Such
procedures should protect the Partnership from the offbalance
sheet risk as mentioned earlier.  The Clearing Broker does not
engage in proprietary trading and thus has no direct market
exposure.

The counterparty of the Partnership for futures contracts
traded in the United States and most nonU.S. exchanges on which
the Partnership trades is the Clearing House associated with the
exchange.  In general, Clearing Houses are backed by the
membership and will act in the event of nonperformance by one of
its members or one of the members' customers and as such should
significantly reduce this credit risk.  In the cases where the
Partnership trades on exchanges on which the Clearing House is
not backed by the membership, the sole recourse of the
Partnership for nonperformance will be the Clearing House.

The Partnership holds futures and futures options positions on
the various exchanges throughout the world.  The Partnership
does not trade over the counter contracts.   As defined by SFAS
105, futures positions are classified as financial instruments. 
SFAS 105 requires that the Partnership disclose the market risk
of loss from all of its financial instruments.  Market risk is
defined as the possibility that future changes in market prices
may make a financial instrument less valuable or more onerous. 
If the markets should move against all of the futures positions
held by the Partnership at the same time, and if the markets
moved such that the Trading Advisors were unable to offset the
futures positions of the Partnership, the Partnership could lose
all of its assets and the partners would realize a 100% loss. 
The Partnership has contracts with three CTAs who make the
trading decisions.  Two of the CTAs trade a program diversified
among all commodity groups, while the third is diversified among
the various futures contracts in the financials and metals
group.  All three CTAs trade on U.S. and non-U.S. exchanges. 
Such diversification should greatly reduce this market risk. 
Cash was on deposit with the Clearing Broker in each time period
of the financial statements which exceeded the cash requirements
of the Commodity Interests of the Partnership.

The following chart discloses the dollar amount of the
unrealized gain or loss on open contracts related to exchange
traded contracts for the Partnership as of June 30, 1997:


    COMMODITY GROUP              UNREALIZED GAIN/(LOSS)   

AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES             41,544   

FOREIGN CURRENCIES                  161,530   

STOCK INDICES                        17,229   

ENERGIES                               (720)   

METALS                              198,247   

INTEREST RATE INSTRUMENTS           286,181   
                                    _______                    
TOTAL                               704,011   


The range of maturity dates of these exchange traded open
contracts is July of 1997 through June of 1998.  The average
open trade equity for the period of January 1, 1996 to June 30,
1997 was $523,797.

The margin requirement at June 30, 1997 was $1,636,988.  To
meet this requirement, the Partnership had on deposit with the
Clearing Broker $9,896,129 in segregated funds and $1,844,335 in
secured funds.


(6)	FINANCIAL STATEMENT PREPARATION

The interim financial statements are unaudited but reflect all
adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
a fair statement of the results for the interim periods
presented.  These adjustments consist primarily of normal
recurring accruals.

The results of operations for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected
for the fiscal year.


Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
         Condition and  Results of Operation 
                
                Fiscal Quarter ended June 30, 1997
                
The Partnership recorded a loss of $875,007 or $43.38 per Unit
for the second quarter of 1997.  This compares to a  gain of
$189,919 or $8.65 per Unit for the second quarter of 1996. 

During the first two months of the quarter the Partnership
experienced losses primarily as a result of losses in precious
metals and foreign exchange.  The third month experienced gains
due to profitable positions in metals, interest rates
and stock indices.  Overall, the second quarter of fiscal 1997
ended negatively for the Partnership's accounts managed by John
W. Henry & Company, Inc. and only slightly positive for Sabre
Fund Management Limited.  At June 30, 1997, John W. Henry &
Company, Inc. was managing 82.6% of the Partnership's assets and
Sabre Fund Management Limited was managing 17.4% of the
Partnership's assets.

In April, yields on the U.S. Treasury 30-year bond soared to a
nine-month high, only to fall by month end resulting in losses
in interest rates.  The U.S. dollar continued its rise in the
weeks leading up to the meeting of the G-7 finance ministers,
reaching new highs against the Japanese yen and the German mark.
 Gains were realized in coffee as prices soared amid increasing
concerns about adequate supply.  In precious metals, both gold
and silver prices declined as investors' concerns over U.S.
inflation subsided.  However, the Partnership recorded a loss of
$321,966.98 or $15.88 per Unit in April.

Worldwide political events upset currency markets in May.  The
British pound rallied sharply, but briefly, hitting its highest
intraday level since August 1992 after a surprise decision by
Britain's newly elected Labour Government to give the Bank of
England more autonomy in setting interest rates.  In Japan,
official warnings of intervention to cap the U.S. dollar's rise
against the Japanese yen and a report that the Bank of Japan
might raise a key interest rate pushed the dollar to a 4 1/2
month low against the Japanese currency.  Surprising strength in
the polls by French socialists and sharp disagreement in Germany
over the use of gold reserves to meet criteria for European
union membership threw the future of that monetary union in
doubt.  Trading in stock indices and agricultural commodities
generated gains, while trading in metals was mixed.  The
Partnership recorded a loss of $910,669.26 or $45.41 per Unit in
May.

In June, gold prices fell to a four-year low as the U.S. dollar
strengthened and inflation indicators remained favorable. 
Positions in both gold and silver were profitable.  Continued
uncertainty surrounding the European currency union benefited
bond markets outside the EMU circle of nations.  In the currency
markets, the Swiss monetary authority's determination to keep
the franc from appreciating against major currencies succeeded
in pushing the price of that currency down.  After reaching a
20-year high in May, coffee prices fell steadily in June on news
of higher world exports and concerns about the impact of high
prices on demand.  The Partnership recorded a gain of
$357,629.31 or $17.91 per Unit in June.

On June 24, 1997, Jan R. Waye was elected Senior Vice President
of CIS Investments, Inc., a General Partner of the Partnership. 

During the quarter, investors redeemed a total of 480.85 Units.
At the end of the quarter there were 19,794.48 Units
outstanding (including 644.45 Units owned by the General
Partners).

During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership
had no material credit exposure to a counterparty which is a
foreign commodities exchange.

The Partnership currently only trades on recognized global
futures exchanges.  In the event the Partnership begins trading
over the counter contracts, any credit exposure to a
counterparty which exceeds 10% of the Partnership's total assets
will be disclosed.

See Footnote 5 of the Financial Statements for procedures
established by the General Partners to monitor and minimize
market and credit risks for the Partnership.  In addition to the
procedures set out in Footnote 5, the General Partners review on
a daily basis reports of the Partnership's performance,
including monitoring of the daily net asset value of the
Partnership.  The General Partners also review the financial
situation of the Partnership's Clearing Broker on a monthly
basis.  The General Partners rely on the policies of the
Clearing Broker to monitor specific credit risks.  The Clearing
Broker does not engage in proprietary trading and thus has no
direct market exposure which provides the General Partners
assurance that the Partnership will not suffer trading losses
through the Clearing Broker.   


                 Fiscal Quarter ended June 30, 1996

The Partnership recorded a gain of $189,919 or $8.65 per Unit
for the second quarter of 1996.  This compares to a profit of
$494,432 or $20.62 per Unit for the second quarter of 1995. 
During the first quarter of 1996, the Partnership recorded a
loss of $6,334 or $0.35 per Unit, which compares to a profit of
$1,808,624 or $74.45 per Unit for the first quarter of 1995. 

Favorable positions in global currency and physical commodity
markets generated profits in the first and third months of the
quarter.  The second month of the quarter saw losses in metals
and global interest rates.  Overall, the second quarter ended
positively for the Partnership's accounts managed by John W.
Henry & Co., Inc. and Sabre Fund Management Limited.  At June
30, 1996, John W. Henry & Co., Inc. was managing 80.7% of the
Partnership's assets and Sabre Fund Management Limited was
managing 19.3% of the Partnership's assets.

In April, crude oil prices continued to surge upwards as
refiners pushed to replenish record-low inventory levels.  In
the agricultural sector, prices of wheat, corn and soybeans
soared as export demand remained strong.  The currency markets
saw relatively high U.S. bond yields which attracted investors
to the U.S. dollar, thus strengthening the dollar against the
German mark and Swiss franc.  The Partnership recorded a profit
of $309,559 or $14.02 per Unit in April.

In May, the grain and oilseed markets were volatile as concerns
over winter crops were replaced by reports of poor planting
conditions for spring crops.  Crude oil prices succumbed to
political pressures and the expected impact on world oil
supplies of the long-anticipated U.N./Iraq oil agreement.  In
the currency markets, the British pound declined to a two-year
low against the U.S. dollar early in the month, but rallied back
by the end of the month well ahead of the dollar as well as the
German mark.  The Partnership recorded a loss of $271,870 or
$12.37 per Unit in May.

In June, the metals markets were impacted by repercussions from
the Sumitomo copper trading losses and by an increase in the
world supply of gold; the result of selling by central banks. 
Crude oil prices reflected continued inventory shortages and the
renewal of tension in the Middle East.  The U.S. dollar reached
a 28-month high against the Japanese yen early in the month, but
ended lower at month's end as investors turned to higher
yielding European currencies.  The Partnership recorded a profit
of $152,230 or $7.00 per Unit in June.
                    
During the quarter, investors redeemed a total of 516.07 Units.
At the end of the quarter there were 20,920.91 Units
outstanding (including 644.45 Units owned by the General
Partners).

During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership
had no credit exposure to a counterparty which is a foreign
commodities exchange which was material.


              Fiscal Quarter ended March 31, 1997

The Partnership recorded a gain of $362,334 or $17.39 per Unit
for the first quarter of 1997.  This compares to a loss of
$6,334 or $0.35 per Unit for the first quarter of 1996. 

During the first month, the Partnership experienced gains
primarily as a result of profits in foreign exchange rates,
while during the second two months losses were recorded due to
volatile interest rate markets and a sudden reversal in gold
prices.  Overall, the first quarter of fiscal 1997 ended
positively for the Partnership's accounts managed by John W.
Henry & Company, Inc. and Sabre Fund Management Limited.  At
March 31, 1997, John W. Henry & Company, Inc. was managing 84%
of the Partnership's assets and Sabre Fund Management Limited
was managing 16% of the Partnership's assets.

In January, the U.S. dollar continued to dominate world
currencies, reflecting both sound economic fundamentals and a
policy, shared by both the U.S. central bank and Treasury
administration officials, in support of a strong dollar.  The
Japanese yen suffered from problems in the Japanese banking
sector.  Rising unemployment and weak economic numbers in
Germany once again drove the German mark down against the U.S.
dollar.  Trading in the British pound grew increasingly volatile
as prospects for an interest rate increase in Britain weakened. 
Gold prices reached a three year low at midmonth.  Therefore,
the Partnership recorded a profit of $515,676 or $24.76 per Unit
in January.

In February, the U.S. dollar reached new highs against the
German mark, Japanese yen and Swiss franc.  The Federal Reserve
chairman hinted of a possible hike in U.S. interest rates which
sent the dollar soaring. Volatility in global interest rate
markets continued to be fueled by speculation on the direction
of global interest rates.  Early in the month, central banks in
Germany, England and the U.S announced their decisions to keep
rates stable.  In commodity markets, gold prices rose as demand
was rekindled by the lowest spot prices since 1993.  In
agricultural markets, a twomonth bull trend in coffee prices
continued as unfavorable weather and labor strife in South
America threatened supply.  The Partnership recorded a loss of
$114,916 or $5.52 per Unit in February.

In March, speculation over the direction of U.S. interest rates
unsettled financial markets around the world.  Rising U.S.
interest rates, unease over first quarter corporate earnings and
lofty stock evaluations resulted in turmoil in U.S equity
markets.  In Europe, renewed speculation about a delay in the
European Union's plans for economic and monetary union pushed
the German mark higher against the U.S. dollar.  Agricultural
markets recorded profits resulting from persistent supply
concerns.  Due to overall market turbulence, the Partnership
recorded a loss of $38,426 or $1.85 per Unit in March.

During the quarter, investors redeemed a total of 542.80 Units.
At the end of the quarter there were 20,275.35 Units
outstanding (including 644.45 Units owned by the General
Partners).

During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Partnership
had no material credit exposure to a counterparty which is a
foreign commodities exchange.


                Fiscal Quarter ended March 31, 1996

The Partnership recorded a loss of $6,334 or $0.35 per Unit for
the first quarter of 1996.  During the first month of the
quarter, the Partnership experienced gains primarily as a result
of profits in foreign exchange rates.  The Partnership then
recorded losses in the following two months due to unprofitable
currency positions and losses in trading of stock indices and
metals.  The first quarter of fiscal 1996 ended negatively for
the Partnership's accounts managed by John W. Henry & Company,
Inc. and Sabre Fund Management Limited.  At March 31, 1996, John
W. Henry & Company, Inc. was managing 80% of the Partnership's
assets and Sabre Fund Management Limited was managing 20% of the
Partnership's assets.

In January, the primary influence on markets was the U.S.
dollar, which rose against most currencies and hit its highest
level in two years against the Japanese yen.  Trading in foreign
exchange generated the majority of profits.  Trading in stock
indices was slightly profitable.  The Partnership recorded a
profit of $529,633 or $23.51 per Unit in January.

In February, the U.S. dollar lost ground against the Japanese
yen, British pound, Swiss franc and German mark, resulting in
the Partnership giving back some of the profits earned in
January.  The largest decline occurred in Japanese yen
positions.  In the metals markets, subsiding inflation fears and
weakening demand pushed gold prices beneath the $400 threshold
reached only a month before.  Trading in interest rates and
stock indices was also unprofitable.  The Partnership recorded a
loss of $514,051 or $22.88 per Unit in February.

In March, trading was volatile, reflecting investors' confusion
over the direction of the U.S. economy.   In addition, political
tensions between China and Taiwan and "Mad Cow" disease outbreak
in Britain further added to economic uncertainties.  Elections
in Australia, which resulted in the end of 13 years of Labor
Party rule, strengthened the Australian dollar to levels not
recorded in at least 10 months.  Trading in stock indices and
metals was unprofitable.   As a result, the Partnership recorded
a loss of $21,916 or $0.99 per Unit in March.

During the quarter, investors redeemed a total of 447.35 Units.
At the end of the quarter there were 22,081.44 Units
outstanding (including 644.45 Units owned by the General
Partners).

During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Partnership
had no material credit exposure to a counterparty which is a
foreign commodities exchange.
