                  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  (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  is Dean Witter Reynolds  Inc.  ("DWR").   Both

Demeter  and  DWR  are  all 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.



2.  Related Party Transactions

The  Partnership's  cash  is on deposit  with  DWR  in  commodity

trading

            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                                

                                

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  June  30,  1997  and

December 31, 1996, open contracts were:

                                 Contract or Notional Amount
                              June 30, 1997  December 31, 1996

A  portion of the amounts indicated as off-balance-sheet risk  in

forward   currency   contracts  is  due  to  offsetting   forward

commitments to purchase and to sell the same currency on the same

date   in   the   future.   These  commitments  are  economically

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

settlement date.


                                
The  net  unrealized gains on open contracts are  reported  as  a

component  of  "Equity in Commodity futures trading accounts"  on

the  Statements of Financial Condition and totaled  $693,422  and

$1,076,373  at June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.

Of the $693,422 net unrealized gain on open contracts at June 30,

1997,  $656,715 was related to exchange-traded futures  contracts

and  $36,707  related  to  off-exchange-traded  forward  currency

contracts.   Of  the  $1,076,373  net  unrealized  gain  on  open

contracts  at December 31, 1996, $1,046,658 related to  exchange-

traded  futures  contracts and $29,715 related  to  off-exchange-

traded forward currency contracts.


Exchange-traded futures contracts held by the Partnership at June

30,  1997 and December 31, 1996 mature through December 1997  and

June  1998,  respectively.  Off-exchange-traded forward  currency

contracts  held by the Partnership at June 30, 1997 and  December

31,  1996 mature through September 1997 and January 1997, respec-

tively.  The  contract amounts in the above table  represent  the

Partnership's extent of involvement in the particular class of

financial  instrument, but not the credit  risk  associated  with

counterparty  nonperformance.  The credit  risk  associated  with

these  instruments  is limited to the amounts  reflected  in  the

Partnership's Statements of Financial Condition.


The  Partnership  also has credit risk because DWR  acts  as  the

futures  commission  merchant  or  the  sole  counterparty,  with

respect  to  most  of the Partnership's assets.   Exchange-traded

futures  and options contracts are marked to market  on  a  daily

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  $22,390,634

and   $21,838,132  at  June  30,  1997  and  December  31,  1996,

respectively.   With  respect to the Partnership's  off-exchange-

traded forward currency contracts, there are no daily settlements

of  variations  in  value nor is there any  requirement  that  an

amount equal to the net unrealized gain on open forward contracts

be segregated.  With respect to those off-exchange-traded forward

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

DWR, the counterparty on all such contracts, to perform.

4.  Subsequent Event

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

futures business and foreign currency trading operations to  Carr

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 three months, DWR will continue to

            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONCLUDED)
                                
                                
                                
                                
perform  certain  services relating to the Partnership's  futures

trading  including clearance.  After such transition period,  DWR

will  continue  to serve as a futures broker for the  Partnership

with  Carr  providing  execution and clearing  services  for  the

Partnership's account.








































<PAGE>
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  are  used  by  the

Partnership as margin to engage in futures interest trading.  DWR

holds  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 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 and  sales  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 Six Months Ended June 30, 1997

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

trading revenues including interest income were $365,459.  During



<PAGE>

the  second  quarter, the Partnership posted a  decrease  in  Net

Asset Value per Unit.  Losses were recorded in the energy markets

as  gas  and  oil  prices moved in a short-term volatile  pattern

throughout  the  quarter.  Additional losses were  recorded  from

long positions in base metals futures, particularly aluminum  and

copper  futures, as these prices moved lower during the  quarter.

In  the  financial futures markets, losses were  recorded  during

April  from  choppy  price  movement in  European  interest  rate

futures.  Smaller losses were experienced in the currency markets

as gains experienced from transactions involving the Japanese yen

and  German  mark were more than offset by losses  recorded  from

trendless  movement in the value of the British pound  and  Swiss

franc  versus  the U.S. dollar.  A portion of the overall  losses

for  the quarter was offset by gains recorded during May and June

from   long  Australian  bond  and  global  stock  index  futures

positions,  as  prices in these markets trended higher.   Trading

gains  were also recorded in the soft commodities markets  during

April  and  May  from  long coffee futures  positions  as  prices

trended  higher.  Total expenses for the quarter  were  $663,881,

resulting  in a net loss of $298,422.  The value of an individual

Unit  in the Partnership decreased from $980.28 at March 31, 1997

to $968.55 at June 30, 1997.



For  the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership's  total

trading  revenues  including  interest  income  were  $3,708,425.

During  the first six months, 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

<PAGE>

increased  relative  to  most major world currencies  during  the

period  January  through April.  Additional currency  gains  were

recorded in the Japanese yen and German mark during June  as  the

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

currencies.  Trading gains were recorded in the financial futures

markets  during May and June from long positions in global  stock

index  futures  as global equity prices trended higher.   Profits

were also recorded from long positions in soybean, wheat and corn

futures  during March as prices moved higher, and  in  June  from

short  positions  in  these same markets as prices  moved  lower.

Smaller gains were recorded in the soft commodities markets  from

long coffee futures positions as coffee prices trended higher for

a  majority  of  the first half of the year.  A  portion  of  the

Partnership's  overall gains during this  period  was  offset  by

losses recorded in the energy markets as gas and oil prices moved

in   a   short-term  volatile  pattern.   Smaller   losses   were

experienced from long positions in base metals futures, as prices

moved  lower  during  March and April.  Total  expenses  for  the

period  were  $1,286,274 resulting in net income  of  $2,422,151.

The value of an individual Unit in the Partnership increased from

$870.11 at December 31, 1996 to $968.55 at June 30, 1997.



For the Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 1996

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

trading  revenues  including  interest  income  were  $1,017,289.

During the second quarter, the Partnership posted an increase  in

Net  Asset  Value per Unit.  The most significant  trading  gains

were

<PAGE>

recorded in the currency markets as a decline in the value of the

German  mark and Swiss franc relative to the U.S. dollar resulted

in  profits for short German mark and Swiss franc positions.   In

the  energy  markets, gains were recorded from long  natural  gas

futures positions as prices moved higher during June.  Additional

trading gains were experienced in the metals markets during  June

from short copper futures positions as prices moved sharply lower

on  news of significant losses by Sumitomo Corporation.   In  the

agricultural markets, trading gains were recorded from long wheat

and  corn  futures  positions, as prices in these  markets  moved

higher.   Gains  in  soft commodities from short  cotton  futures

positions during May and June more than offset losses experienced

in  coffee,  orange juice and cocoa during April.  A  portion  of

overall  gains  for  the  quarter was offset  by  losses  in  the

financial  futures markets from global interest  rate  and  stock

index  futures trading as prices in these markets were  trendless

throughout  the  quarter.  Total expenses for  the  quarter  were

$675,748, resulting in net income of $341,541.  The value  of  an

individual  Unit  in the Partnership increased  from  $741.59  at

March 31, 1996 to $752.69 at June 30, 1996.



For  the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership's  total

trading revenues including interest income were $42,544.   During

the first half of the year, the Partnership posted a decrease  in

Net  Asset  Value  per  Unit.  The most significant  losses  were

recorded  in the financial futures markets during February  as  a

sharp reversal downward was experienced in global bond futures

<PAGE>

prices.   Additional  losses were recorded in  non-U.S.  interest

rate  and  global stock index futures between March and  June  as

trendless price movement followed.  Losses were also recorded  in

soft  commodities as prices moved in a choppy pattern during  the

first   quarter.   However,  gains  from  short  cotton   futures

positions  during May and June helped to mitigate  these  losses.

Gains  were  recorded in the currency markets during  April  from

short  German  mark and Swiss franc positions, as  well  as  from

trading  other  European currencies.  Smaller  gains  experienced

from transactions involving the Japanese yen offset a portion  of

overall  losses.   Smaller  gains  were  also  recorded  in   the

agricultural  markets from trading wheat and corn futures  during

April  and  May,  as rising prices resulted in  profits  for  the

Partnership's long positions.  In the energy markets, gains  from

trading  natural gas futures during June more than offset  losses

incurred  during  May from trading unleaded  gas  and  crude  oil

futures.   In  metals, gains from short copper futures  positions

during June more than offset losses from trendless price movement

in  other  base metals during the first quarter.  Total  expenses

for  the  period  were $1,342,092, resulting in  a  net  loss  of

$1,299,548.   The value of an individual Unit in the  Partnership

decreased  from $796.35 at December 31, 1995 to $752.69  at  June

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.
