                    IDS MANAGED FUTURES II, L.P.
                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                          JUNE 30, 1998
                 

(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. ("AEFA"),
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.
("JWH") and Sabre Fund Management Limited ("Sabre"), until July
31, 1997.  Effective August 1, 1997 the General Partners added
Welton Investment Corporation ("Welton") as an additional
independent commodity trading advisor for the Partnership and
the assets of the Partnership were re-allocated among the three
independent commodity trading advisors.  The General Partners
elected not to renew the Advisory Contract of Sabre Fund
Management Limited and it expired on December 31, 1997. 
Effective January 1,1998, all of the assets of the Partnership
are managed by JWH and Welton. 
                 
Units of limited partnership interest ("Units") were offered by
AEFA 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.  60,127.14 Units
representing a total investment of $14,983,249 had been sold and
accepted into the Partnership during the offering period from
July 14, 1987 to December 31, 1988 (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 were permitted by a subscriber during the first
six months after he or she was 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)
disassociation of the General Partners with the Partnership; 
(3) bankruptcy 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 partners elect to terminate 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.


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. 
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
90-day Treasury bill rate for U.S. Treasury bills issued during
that month.


Redemptions

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.  Redemptions are based  on the Net Asset Value per
unit as of the last day of the month and require ten days'
written notice to the General 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.


Commissions

Brokerage commissions and National Futures Association clearing
and exchange fees are accrued on a round-turn basis on open
commodity futures contracts.  The Partnership pays CIS
commissions on trades executed on its behalf at a rate of $58.75
per round turn contract.  For trades executed by Welton
Investment Corporation, the Partnership pays $43.75 per round
turn contract.  The Partnership pays these commissions directly
to CIS and CIS then reallocates the appropriate portion to AEFA.


Foreign Currency Transactions

Trading accounts in foreign currency denominations are
susceptible to both movements in underlying contract markets as
well as fluctuations in currency rates.  Translation of foreign
currencies into U.S. dollars for closed positions are translated
at an average exchange rate for the quarter while quarter-end
balances are translated at the quarter-end 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.


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 increase and decrease in net assets from
operations during the period.  Actual results could differ from
those estimates.


(3)	FEES

Management fees are accrued and paid monthly and incentive fees
are accrued monthly and paid quarterly.   Trading decisions for
the periods covered in these financial statements were made by
JWH, Sabre and Welton, the Partnership's Commodity Trading
Advisors ("CTAs").   See Note 1 for the specific periods of
trading for each CTA.

Effective January 1, 1996, Sabre received management fees of 1/6
of 1% of the month-end net assets, until December 31, 1997 when
the agreement with Sabre, which expired, was not renewed.

Under signed agreement, JWH will receive a monthly management
fee of 1/3 of 1% of the month-end net asset value of the
Partnership under its management and 15%  of the Partnership's
net trading profits, if any, attributable to its management.

Under signed agreement dated July 8, 1997, Welton will receive a
monthly management fee of 1/4 of 1% of the month-end net asset
value of the Partnership under its management and 18%  of the
Partnership's net trading profits, if any, attributable to its
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 pro rata share of the
profits or losses of the Partnership.  The Partnership is
responsible for the Illinois State Partnership Information and
Replacement Tax based on the operating results of the
Partnership.  Such tax amounted to $0 and $0 for the periods
ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997, respectively.


(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 off-balance 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 off-balance
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 non-U.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. 
As of June 30, 1998 the Partnership had contracts with two CTAs
who make the trading decisions.  One of the CTAs trades a
program diversified among all commodity groups, while the other
is diversified among the various futures contracts in the
financials and metals group.  Both 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, 1998:


    COMMODITY GROUP     	UNREALIZED GAIN/(LOSS)   


AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES                8,825   

FOREIGN CURRENCIES                   (118,707)   

STOCK INDICES                         (94,763) 

ENERGIES                               (4,294)

The range of maturity dates of these exchange traded open
contracts is July of 1998 to June of 1999.  The average open
trade equity for the period of January 1, 1998 to June 30, 1998
was $421,873.
                                            
The margin requirement at June 30, 1998 was $1,725,607.  To meet
this requirement, the Partnership had on deposit with the
Clearing Broker $9,793,728 in segregated funds and $1,026,841 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
for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods
presented.  These adjustments consist primarily of normal
recurring accruals.  These interim financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of
the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 1997, as filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 1998,
as part of its Annual Report on Form 10-K.
              
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, 1998
                
The Partnership recorded a loss of $887,650 or $47.31 per Unit
for the second quarter of 1998.  This compares to a loss of
$875,007 or $43.38 per Unit for the second quarter of 1997.   
                
During the first and third months of the quarter, the
Partnership experienced losses primarily as a result of
unprofitable positions in currencies, interest rates and metals,
while during the second month gains were recorded primarily due
to gains in the currency, interest rate, metals and energy
markets.  Overall, the second quarter of fiscal 1998 ended
negatively for the Partnership accounts managed by JWH and
Welton.  At June 30, 1998, JWH was managing 61% of the
Partnership's assets and Welton was managing 39% of the
Partnership's assets.
                
In April, positions in nearly all markets traded were
unprofitable.  Positions in the U.S. 30-year bond and Euro
dollar markets resulted in losses for interest rate futures. 
Unprofitable positions in the German mark and Swiss franc offset
gains in other currencies traded.  Silver prices fell following
reports that a major investment company had sold a third of its
holdings.  Losses in silver and copper offset profits in gold. 
Sugar prices fell to a five-year low on prospects of a large
Brazilian crop.  Positions in sugar resulted in profits as did
positions in coffee, wheat, corn and soybean oil.  The
Partnership recorded a loss of $731,219 or $38.72 per Unit in
April.

In May modest gains were recorded reflecting profitable
positions in interest rates, metals, energies and currencies. 
The strongest gains overall came from positions in the Japanese
yen, Japanese Government bond, silver and crude oil.  Silver
prices slumped as investors who bought on hopes of rising value
lost patience and took profits.  Crude oil prices were pressured
by worries of oversupply in world markets.  Gains were also
recorded in positions in the Australian dollar as a nervous
market dealt with rumors of further currency devaluations in
Asia; the Australian currency fell to a 12-year low against the
U.S. dollar.  Positions in stock indices and agricultural
commodities resulted in losses overal; but the Partnership
recorded a gain of $264,294 or $14.21 per Unit in May. 

In June losses were recorded due largely to unprofitable
positions in global interest rates and metals.  Unprofitable
positions in the Japanese Government bond led losses in global
interest rates as the yield rose from record lows following
intervention to support the yen.  A marginal gain in the
Japanese yen failed to offset losses in the British pound and
Swiss franc.  Positions in gold and silver also resulted in
losses as the prices of both metals remained coupled to
movements in the Japanese yen.  Gains were recorded in crude oil
positions as inventories worldwide continued to exceed demand
and prices fell.  Profitable positions in cotton, sugar, coffee
and corn offset losses in other agricultural markets.  The
Partnership recorded a loss of $420,725 or $22.80 per Unit in
June. 

During the quarter, investors redeemed a total of 834.60 Units. 
At the end of the quarter there were 18,051.09 Units outstanding
(including 644.45 Units owned by the General Partners).

On June 1, 1998 the following changes became effective for CIS
Investments, Inc., one of the General Partners of the
Partnership:  Hal T. Hansen resigned as President and Director
due to upcoming retirement;  L. Carlton Anderson resigned as
Vice President and Director due to upcoming retirement; Bernard
W. Dan was elected President and Director; Barbara A. Pfendler
was elected Director (she also holds the position of Vice
President) and Ronald L. Davis was elected Vice President.   

During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 1998, 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, 1997

The Partnership recorded a loss of $875,007 or $43.38 per Unit
for the second quarter of 1997.  

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
resulted 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 JWH
and only slightly positive for Sabre.  At June 30, 1997, JWH was
managing 82.6% of the Partnership's assets and Sabre 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.

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.



           Fiscal Quarter ended March 31, 1998

The Partnership recorded a loss of $272,893 or $14.17 per Unit
for the first quarter of 1998.  This compares to  a gain of
$362,334 or $17.39 per Unit for the first quarter of 1997.  

During the first two months of the quarter, the Partnership
experienced losses primarily as a result of unprofitable
positions in currencies and interest rates, while during the
third month gains were recorded primarily due to gains in the
currency and energy markets.  Overall, the first quarter of
fiscal 1998 ended negatively for the Partnership account managed
by JWH and positively for the Partnership account managed by
Welton.  At March 31, 1998, JWH was managing 62.1% of the
Partnership's assets and Welton was managing 37.9% of the
Partnership's assets.

In January, performance was negatively impacted by sharp
reversals in Japanese financial markets and in gold.  Investor
optimism over efforts to revive ailing Asian economies boosted
the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar and gave support to the
Nikkei; positions in both resulted in losses for the
Partnership.  Benign inflation news in Europe and the U.S.
boosted bond markets in both regions, resulting in gains for the
Partnership.  These gains were offset by losses in stock indices
and in gold prices.  Positions in crude oil and coffee produced
small gains for the Partnership.  Overall, the Partnership
recorded a loss of $353,393 or $18.40 per Unit in January.

In February, losses were incurred in nearly all currencies
traded.  Trading was also unprofitable in U.S. Treasury bonds,
interest rates and gold.  The purchase of large quantities of
silver by a major investor caused the prices of the precious
metal to soar in world markets, before succumbing to some profit
taking at month end; positions in silver resulted in gains for
the Partnership.  Profitable positions in most European bonds
failed to offset losses in other long- and short-term interest
rates.  Gains in sugar, corn and cotton offset losses in other
agricultural commodities traded.  The Partnership recorded a
loss of $47,483 or $2.49 per Unit in February.  

In March, the U.S. dollar rose against most of its major
counterparts, gaining strength from the flight of international
capital from a deteriorating Japanese economy and the purchase
of dollars to buy U.S. Treasury bonds as yields in key European
bond markets hit post-war lows.  Positions in the Swiss franc
and the German mark resulted in gains for the Partnership.  The
market for crude oil generated a lot of excitement during the
month, following the surprise announcement by OPEC and non-OPEC
oil-producing nations of an agreement to cut production. 
Positions in energy markets were profitable overall.  Inflation
concerns, fueled by rising oil prices, propelled gold prices
sharply higher.  Positions in gold were unprofitable, as were
positions in silver, which became more volatile during the
month.  Except for small gains in soybeans and
soybean-derivative markets, positions in agricultural
commodities resulted in losses overall.   The Partnership
recorded a gain of $127,983 or $6.72 per Unit in March.  

During the quarter, investors redeemed a total of 315.18 Units. 
At the end of the quarter there were 18,885.71 Units outstanding
(including 644.45 Units owned by the General Partners).

During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Partnership
had no material credit exposure to a counterparty which is a
foreign commodities exchange.



               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.  

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 JWH and
Sabre.  At March 31, 1997, JWH was managing 84% of the
Partnership's assets and Sabre 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 mid-month.  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 two-month 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.
