                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           (UNAUDITED)

The  financial statements include, in the opinion of  management,

all  adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results

of  operations and financial condition.  The financial statements

and condensed notes herein should be read in conjunction with the

Partnership's December 31, 1996 Annual Report on Form 10K.


1. Organization

Dean Witter Global Perspective Portfolio Fund L.P. (the "Partner-

ship")  is  a  limited partnership organized  to  engage  in  the

speculative  trading  of commodity futures  contracts,  commodity

options  contracts  and forward contracts on  foreign  currencies

(collectively, "futures interests").  The general partner for the

Partnership  is Demeter Management Corporation ("Demeter").   The

commodity  broker for most of the Partnership's  transactions  is

Dean  Witter  Reynolds Inc. ("DWR").  Both Demeter  and  DWR  are

wholly   owned  subsidiaries  of  Morgan  Stanley,  Dean  Witter,

Discover  &  Co. ("MSDWD").  Demeter has retained ELM  Financial,

Inc.,  EMC  Capital  Management, Inc.,  and  Millburn  Ridgefield

Corporation   as   the  trading  advisors  of  the   Partnership.

Effective  March 1, 1997, Abacus Asset Management Inc. ("Abacus")

was   removed  as  a  trading  advisor  and  Partnership   assets

previously  managed by Abacus were reallocated to  the  remaining

advisors.



On  July  31,  1997,  DWR closed the sale  of  its  institutional

futures business and foreign currency trading operations to Carr

       DEAN WITTER GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE PORTFOLIO FUND L.P.
            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)




Futures  Inc. ("Carr"), a subsidiary of Credit Agricole Indosuez.

Following  the  sale,  Carr  became  the  counterparty   on   the

Partnership's  foreign  currency  trades.   However,   during   a

transition  period  of about four months, DWR  will  continue  to

perform  certain  services relating to the Partnership's  futures

trading  including clearance.  After such transition period,  DWR

will continue to serve as a non-clearing commodity broker for the

Partnership  with  Carr  providing  all  clearing  services   for

Partnership transactions.



2.  Related Party Transactions

The  Partnership's  cash  is on deposit  with  DWR  and  Carr  in

commodity trading accounts to meet margin requirements as needed.

DWR  pays  interest on these funds based on current 13-week  U.S.

Treasury   Bill  rates.  Brokerage  expenses  incurred   by   the

Partnership are paid to DWR.



3.  Financial Instruments

The Partnership trades futures, options and forward contracts  in

interest rates, stock indices, commodities, currencies, petroleum

and  precious  metals.  Futures and forwards represent  contracts

for  delayed  delivery of an instrument at a specified  date  and

price.   Risk arises from changes in the value of these contracts

and  the  potential inability of counterparties to perform  under

the terms

of   the  contracts.   There  are  numerous  factors  which   may

significantly  influence  the market value  of  these  contracts,

including  interest rate volatility.  At September 30,  1997  and

December 31, 1996, open contracts were:

offsetting,  but are not offset in the forward market  until  the

basis,  with variations in value settled on a daily basis.   DWR,

as  the  futures commission merchant for all of the Partnership's

exchange-traded  futures  and  options  contracts,  is   required

pursuant   to  regulations  of  the  Commodity  Futures   Trading

Commission ("CFTC") to segregate from its own assets and for  the

sole  benefit of its commodity customers all funds  held  by  DWR

with  respect  to  exchange-traded futures and options  contracts

including an amount equal to the net unrealized gain on all  open

futures  and  options contracts, which funds totaled  $20,416,004

of  variations  in  value nor is there any  requirement  that  an

amount equal to the net unrealized gain on open forward contracts

currency contracts, the Partnership is at risk to the ability  of

Carr,  the  sole counterparty on all such contracts, to  perform.

Item   2.  MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Liquidity  - The Partnership's assets are on deposit  in  futures

interests trading accounts with DWR and Carr, and are used by the

Partnership as margin to engage in futures interest trading.  DWR

and Carr hold such assets in either designated depositories or in

securities approved by the CFTC for investment of customer funds.

The  Partnership's assets held by DWR and Carr  may  be  used  as

margin   solely  for  the  Partnership's  trading.    Since   the

Partnership's  sole purpose is to trade in futures interests,  it

is expected that the Partnership will continue to own such liquid

assets for margin purposes.



The  Partnership's investment in futures interests may, from time

to time, be illiquid.  Most United States futures exchanges limit

fluctuations in certain futures interest prices during  a  single

day  by  regulations  referred to as  "daily  price  fluctuations

limits" or "daily limits".  Pursuant to such regulations,  during

a  single trading day no trades may be executed at prices  beyond

the  daily limit.  If the price of a particular futures  interest

has  increased  or  decreased by an amount equal  to  the  "daily

limit",  positions in such futures interest can neither be  taken

nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at  or

within  the  limit.   Futures interest prices  have  occasionally

moved the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or

no trading.  Such market conditions could prevent the Partnership

from promptly liquidating its futures interests and result in

<PAGE>

restrictions on redemptions.  However, since the commencement  of

trading  by  the Partnership, there has never been  a  time  when

illiquidity  has affected a material portion of the Partnership's

assets.



There  is  no limitation on daily price moves in trading  forward

contracts  on  foreign currencies.  The markets  for  some  world

currencies  have low trading volume and are illiquid,  which  may

prevent  the  Partnership from trading in potentially  profitable

markets  or  prevent  the Partnership from  promptly  liquidating

unfavorable  positions  in  such markets  and  subjecting  it  to

substantial  losses.   Either of these  market  conditions  could

result in restrictions on redemptions.



Capital  Resources. The Partnership does not have,  nor  does  it

expect  to  have, any capital assets.  Redemptions of  additional

Units  of Limited Partnership Interest in the future will  affect

the   amount  of  funds  available  for  investments  in  futures

interests  in  subsequent periods.  As  redemptions  are  at  the

discretion  of Limited Partners, it is not possible  to  estimate

the amount and therefore the impact of future redemptions.

                                

Results of Operations

For the Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997

For the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership's total

revenues including interest income were $1,124,273.   During



<PAGE>

the  third  quarter, the Partnership posted an  increase  in  Net

Asset  Value per Unit.  The most significant gains were  recorded

in  financial futures due primarily to an upward trend in  global

interest  rate  futures  prices during  July  and  September.   A

portion of these gains was offset by losses recorded from trading

global  stock index futures during the quarter.  In the  currency

markets,  gains were recorded during July from short German  mark

positions  as the value of the U.S. dollar increased  versus  the

German   mark.    Smaller  currency  gains  were  recorded   from

transactions  involving the Mexican Peso, Swiss  franc  and  most

minor  European  currencies.   A  portion  of  the  Partnership's

overall  gains for the quarter was offset by losses  recorded  in

the soft commodities agricultural, metals and energy markets.  In

the  soft  commodities  and  agricultural  markets,  losses  were

recorded from trendless price movement across a majority  of  the

markets.  In metals, gains recorded from trading gold and  silver

futures were offset by losses recorded from trendless movement in

base  metals  prices,  particularly nickel and  aluminum  futures

prices during August and September.  In the energy markets, gains

recorded  from  long natural gas positions, as  prices  increased

during August and September, offset losses from trading crude and

heating  oil  futures during July and September.  Total  expenses

for  the  quarter  were $637,807, resulting in a  net  income  of

$486,466.   The  value of an individual Unit in  the  Partnership

increased  from $968.55 at June 30, 1997 to $988.52 at  September

30, 1997.



<PAGE>

For  the  nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership's

total  revenues including interest income were $4,832,697. During

the  first three quarters of the year, the Partnership posted  an

increase in Net Asset Value per Unit.  The most significant gains

were  recorded in the currency markets as the value of  the  U.S.

dollar  increased relative to most major world currencies  during

the period January through April.  Additional currency gains were

recorded from short positions in the Japanese yen during June  as

the  value of the U.S. dollar continued to strengthen versus  the

yen.    Trading   gains  were  also  recorded  from  transactions

involving the German mark relative to the U.S. dollar during  the

second  and third quarters.  In financial futures trading,  gains

were  recorded during the third quarter from long global interest

rate  futures positions as prices increased, and during  May  and

June from long positions in global stock index futures, as global

equity  prices  trended higher.  A portion of  the  Partnership's

overall gains during this period was offset by losses recorded in

the  energy markets as most gas and oil prices moved in a  short-

term  volatile pattern. One exception in the energy  complex  was

natural  gas  futures prices, which increased  during  the  third

quarter,  thus  resulting in gains from long  positions.   Losses

were also experienced from long positions in base metals futures,

as  prices  moved  lower during March and April  and  then  in  a

trendless  pattern throughout the third quarter.  Smaller  losses

were recorded in the agricultural and soft commodities markets as

small  profits recorded in the first half of the year  were  more

than offset by losses recorded from trendless movement throughout

<PAGE>

a  majority of the third quarter.  Total expenses for the  period

were $1,924,080 resulting in net income of $2,908,617.  The value

of  an  individual Unit in the Partnership increased from $870.11

at December 31, 1996 to $988.52 at September 30, 1997.



For the Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996

For the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership's total

trading  revenues  including  interest  income  were  $1,006,308.

During  the third quarter, the Partnership posted an increase  in

Net  Asset  Value per Unit.  The most significant  trading  gains

were   recorded  in  the  financial  futures  markets  from  long

European,  Australian  and  Japanese bond  futures  positions  as

international  interest rate futures prices moved higher  between

July and September.  Additional gains were recorded in the energy

markets  from long positions in crude and heating oil futures  as

oil  prices trended higher throughout the quarter.  A portion  of

the  overall  gains for the quarter was offset by losses  in  the

currency  markets from short Swiss franc positions as  its  value

increased  relative to the U.S. dollar and other world currencies

during   July.   Additional  losses  were  experienced  in   soft

commodities  as  a  result of trendless movement  in  coffee  and

cotton  prices  throughout a majority of  the  quarter.   In  the

agricultural markets, losses were experienced as soybean and corn

futures  prices  moved  in  an inconsistent  pattern  during  the

quarter.  Total expenses for the quarter were $638,401, resulting

in  net  income of $367,907.  The value of an individual Unit  in

the Partnership increased from



<PAGE>

$752.69 at June 30, 1996 to $766.90 at September 30, 1996.



For  the  nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership's

total trading revenues including interest income were $1,048,852.

During  the first nine months of the year, the Partnership posted

a decrease in Net Asset Value per Unit.  Trading gains during the

first   nine  months  of  the  year  were  offset  by   brokerage

commissions  resulting  in  a  net loss.   The  most  significant

trading  losses  were recorded in the financial futures  markets.

These losses recorded during the first six months of the year  in

global  interest  rate and stock index futures more  than  offset

gains  recorded during the third quarter from long  positions  in

international bond futures.  Additional losses were  recorded  in

the soft commodities markets as a result of choppy price movement

in  coffee and sugar futures during a majority of the first  nine

months  of the year.  A majority of overall losses for  the  year

was  offset by gains from long heating, crude and gas oil futures

positions  as  oil prices moved significantly higher  during  the

third  quarter.  Gains were also recorded in the currency markets

from  transactions  involving  the  Japanese  yen  throughout   a

majority  of  the  first nine months of the year.   Additionally,

profits  recorded  from  long wheat and  corn  futures  positions

during  the second quarter more than offset losses in these  same

markets  recorded during the third quarter.  Total  expenses  for

the  period were $1,980,493, resulting in a net loss of $931,641.

The value of an individual Unit in the Partnership decreased from

$796.35 at December 31, 1995 to $766.90 at September 30, 1996.

                   PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On  September 6, 10, and 20, 1996, and on March 13, 1997, similar

purported class actions were filed in the Superior Court  of  the

State  of  California, County of Los Angeles, on  behalf  of  all

purchasers  of  interests in limited partnership commodity  pools

sold  by DWR.  Named defendants include DWR, Demeter, Dean Witter

Futures  &  Currency Management, Inc., MSDWD  (all  such  parties

referred  to  hereafter  as the "Dean Witter  Parties"),  certain

limited  partnership  commodity pools of  which  Demeter  is  the

general partner, and certain trading advisors to those pools.  On

June  16,  1997,  the  plaintiffs in the above  actions  filed  a

consolidated amended complaint.  Similar purported class  actions

were also filed on September 18 and 20, 1996 in the Supreme Court

of  the  State of New York, New York County, and on November  14,

1996  in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, New  Castle

County,  against  the  Dean Witter Parties  and  certain  trading

advisors  on  behalf  of all purchasers of interests  in  various

limited  partnership  commodity pools sold  by  DWR.   Generally,

these  complaints allege, among other things, that the defendants

committed  fraud, deceit, misrepresentation, breach of  fiduciary

duty,   fraudulent   and   unfair  business   practices,   unjust

enrichment,  and  conversion  in connection  with  the  sale  and

operation  of  the  various limited partnership commodity  pools.

The  complaints  seek  unspecified amounts  of  compensatory  and

punitive   damages  and  other  relief.   It  is  possible   that

additional  similar actions may be filed and that, in the  course

of these actions, other parties

<PAGE>

could  be  added as defendants.  The Dean Witter Parties  believe

that  they  have  strong defenses to, and  they  will  vigorously

contest,  the  actions.  Although the ultimate outcome  of  legal

proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion

of  management of the Dean Witter Parties that the resolution  of

the  actions  will  not  have a material adverse  effect  on  the

financial  condition or the results of operations of any  of  the

Dean Witter Parties.



Item 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

On  July  21,  1997,  MSDWD,  the sole  shareholder  of  Demeter,

appointed  a  new  Board of Directors consisting  of  Richard  M.

DeMartini, Mark J. Hawley, Lawrence Volpe, Joseph G. Siniscalchi,

Edward C. Oelsner III, and Robert E. Murray.
