                  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 of  Dean  Witter  Global

Perspective  Portfolio L.P. (the "Partnership").   The  financial

statements  and  condensed  notes  herein  should  be   read   in

conjunction  with  the  Partnership's December  31,  1997  Annual

Report on Form 10-K.


1. Organization

Dean  Witter  Global  Perspective Portfolio  L.P.  is  a  limited

partnership  organized  to engage in the speculative  trading  of

commodity  futures  contracts, commodity  options  contracts  and

forward  contracts  (collectively,  "futures  interests").    The

general  partner  is Demeter Management Corporation  ("Demeter").

The  non-clearing commodity broker is Dean Witter  Reynolds  Inc.

("DWR"), an affiliate of Demeter.  The clearing commodity  broker

is  Carr  Futures Inc. ("Carr"), providing clearing and execution

services.  Both Demeter and DWR are wholly-owned subsidiaries  of

Morgan  Stanley Dean Witter & Co. ("MSDW").  Demeter has retained

ELM  Financial, Inc., EMC Capital Management, Inc., and  Millburn

Ridgefield  Corporation, (the "Trading Advisors") to  be  trading

advisors for the Partnership.

2.  Related Party Transactions

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

interest trading accounts to meet margin requirements as needed.



<PAGE>
          DEAN WITTER GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE PORTFOLIO L.P.
            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                                

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  and  currencies.

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, 1998 and December  31,  1997,

open contracts were:

                             Contract or Notional Amount
                          September 30, 1998 December 31, 1997

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 $3,233,109 and

$1,204,698  at  September  30,  1998  and  December   31,   1997,

respectively.



Of  the  $3,233,109  net unrealized gain  on  open  contracts  at

September 30, 1998, $2,972,869 related to exchange-traded futures

contracts  and  $260,240  related to off-exchange-traded  forward

currency contracts.



Of  the  $1,204,698  net unrealized gain  on  open  contracts  at

December 31, 1997, $1,259,832 related to exchange-traded  futures

contracts  and  $(55,134) related to off-exchange-traded  forward

currency contracts.


Exchange-traded  futures contracts held  by  the  Partnership  at

September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 mature through June 1999

and  December  1998,  respectively.  Off-exchange-traded  forward

currency contracts held by the Partnership at September 30,  1998

and  December  31, 1997 mature through December  1998  and  March

1998, respectively.



The   contract   amounts  in  the  above  table   represent   the

Partnership's  extent  of involvement in a  particular  class  of

financial  instrument, but not the credit  risk  associated  with

counterparty  non-performance.  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 and Carr act  as

the  futures  commission  merchants or the  counterparties,  with

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

futures and futures styled options contracts are marked to market

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

basis.   Each  of DWR and Carr, as a futures commission  merchant

for  the Partnership's exchange-traded futures and futures styled

options contracts, are required, pursuant to regulations  of  the

Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"), to segregate  from

their  own  assets, and for the sole benefit of  their  commodity

customers, all funds held by them with respect to exchange-traded

futures and futures styled options contracts, including an amount

equal to the net unrealized gain on all open futures and futures

styled options contracts, which funds, in the aggregate, totaled

$21,162,959  and $20,945,026 at September 30, 1998  and  December

31,  1997,  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 Carr, the sole counterparty on all such contracts,

to   perform.   Carr's  parent,  Credit  Agricole  Indosuez,  has

guaranteed  to  the  Partnership payment of the  net  liquidating

value of the transactions in the Partnership's account with  Carr

(including foreign currency contracts).


For  the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and the year  ended

December   31,   1997,  the  average  fair  value  of   financial

instruments held for trading purposes was as follows:

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


Liquidity - Assets of the Partnership are deposited with  DWR  as

non-clearing  broker  and  Carr as clearing  broker  in  separate

futures  interest trading accounts established for  each  Trading

Advisor  and are used by the Partnership as margin to  engage  in

futures  interest trading.  Such assets are held in  either  non-

interest bearing bank accounts 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 for 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 interests prices have  occasionally

moved the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or

no trading.  Such market conditions could prevent the Partnership

                                

<PAGE>

from  promptly  liquidating its futures interests and  result  in

restrictions on redemptions.



There  is  no limitation on daily price moves in trading  forward

contracts  on  foreign  currency.  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.  Future redemptions of  Units

of  Limited Partnership Interest will affect the amount of  funds

available  for  investment  in futures  interests  in  subsequent

periods.   Since they 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, 1998

For  the  quarter  ended  September  30,  1998,  the  Partnership

recorded  total  trading revenues including  interest  income  of

$4,424,264  and posted an increase in Net Asset Value  per  Unit.

The Partnership recorded gains primarily in the financial futures

markets  from  long global interest rate futures positions.   The

most  significant of these gains were recorded during August  and

September from long

<PAGE>

U.S.,  German and Japanese bond futures positions as prices moved

significantly higher as investors sought the perceived safety  of

fixed income investments in lieu of the volatility plaguing  most

global   financial   markets.   In  the   agricultural   markets,

additional gains were recorded during July and August from  short

corn  futures  positions as prices moved lower  on  near  perfect

growing  conditions  and  disappointing export  demand.   Smaller

gains were recorded in the energy markets from short positions in

crude  oil futures during July and August as oil prices  declined

on  speculation  regarding OPEC's proposed  production  cuts.   A

portion  of  the Partnership's overall gains for the quarter  was

offset  by losses recorded in the metals markets from long copper

and  aluminum futures positions as base metal prices moved  in  a

choppy pattern throughout the quarter amid uncertain demand  from

Asia.   In  soft commodities, losses were recorded  from  trading

coffee futures during the quarter as prices in this market  moved

in  a  trendless  manner.  Losses were also experienced  in  this

market  complex  from long cotton futures as prices  moved  lower

during  July  and  August. Smaller losses were  recorded  in  the

currency markets from transactions involving the Japanese yen  as

the  value of the yen moved in a choppy pattern versus most world

currencies during August and September.  Total expenses  for  the

three months ended September 30, 1998 were $543,669, resulting in

net income of $3,880,595.  The value of an individual Unit in the

Partnership  increased from 900.01 at June 30, 1998 to  $1,097.12

at September 30, 1998.





<PAGE>

For  the  nine  months ended September 30, 1998, the  Partnership

recorded  total  trading revenues including  interest  income  of

$4,089,647  and posted an increase in Net Asset Value  per  Unit.

The  most  significant gains were recorded from long global  bond

futures  positions  as German, Japanese and  U.S.  interest  rate

futures  prices  moved higher during August and  September  after

experiencing trendless price movements during a majority  of  the

first  half  of  the year.  This trend higher in global  interest

rate  futures prices was a direct result of increased  volatility

in the global financial markets which caused a flight of investor

capital  to  the  perceived safety of government  debt.   Smaller

gains were recorded in this market complex from long German stock

index  futures positions.  A portion of the Partnership's overall

gains  was  offset by losses experienced in the currency  markets

from transactions involving the British pound as the value of the

pound versus the U.S. dollar moved in a choppy pattern during the

first  three  quarters.  Smaller currency losses were experienced

during  the  first half of the year from trading the Swiss  franc

and  German mark.  Additional Partnership losses recorded in soft

commodities during July and August from long positions in  cotton

futures  more than offset profits recorded during the first  half

of  the  year from short sugar futures positions.  In the  metals

markets, losses were recorded from transactions involving  copper

futures   positions  as  prices  moved  in  a  trendless   manner

throughout the first nine months of the year.  Total expenses for

the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1998  were  $1,635,927,

resulting  in  net  income  of  $2,453,720.   The  value  of   an

individual Unit in the Partnership increased from 967.23 at

<PAGE>

December 31, 1997 to $1,097.12 at September 30, 1998.



For the Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997

For  the  quarter  ended  September  30,  1997,  the  Partnership

recorded  total  trading revenues including  interest  income  of

$1,124,273  and 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 three months ended September

                                

<PAGE>

30, 1997 were $637,807, resulting in 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.



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

recorded  total  trading revenues including  interest  income  of

$4,832,697  and 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

<PAGE>

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 a majority  of

the  third  quarter.  Total expenses for the  nine  months  ended

September  30,  1997 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.



Year 2000 Problem -  Commodity pools, like financial and business

organizations  and individuals around the world,  depend  on  the

smooth functioning of computer systems.  Many computer systems in

use  today cannot recognize the computer code for the year  2000,

but revert to 1900 or some other date.  This is commonly known as

the  "Year  2000  Problem".  The Partnership could  be  adversely

affected  if computer systems used by it or any third party  with

whom  it has a material relationship do not properly process  and

calculate date-related information and data concerning  dates  on

or  after  January 1, 2000.  Such a failure could have a negative

impact  on  the handling or determination of futures  trades  and

prices and the services provided the Partnership.



MSDW  began its planning in response to the Year 2000 Problem  in

1995  and currently has several hundred employees working on such

response.  It has developed its own Year 2000 compliance plan  to

deal  with the problem and had the plan approved by the company's

executive   management,  Board  of  Directors   and   Information

Technology Department.  Demeter is coordinating with MSDW in

<PAGE>

taking steps that both believe are reasonably designed to address

the  Year 2000 Problem with respect to Demeter's computer systems

that  relate  to  the  Partnership.  This includes  hardware  and

software upgrades, systems consulting and computer maintenance.



Beyond  the  challenge  facing  internal  computer  systems,  the

systems  failure  of  any  of the third  parties  with  whom  the

Partnership  has a material relationship - the futures  exchanges

and  clearing organizations through which it trades, Carr, or the

Trading  Advisors - could result in a material financial risk  to

the  Partnership.   Regarding  the futures  exchanges,  all  U.S.

futures  exchanges will be subject to the monitoring of the  CFTC

for  their  Year 2000 preparedness and the major foreign  futures

exchanges are also expected to be subject to market-wide  testing

of  their Year 2000 compliance during 1999.  With respect to Carr

and  the  Trading  Advisors, Demeter  intends  to  monitor  their

progress throughout 1999 in their Year 2000 compliance and, where

applicable,  to  test its external interface with  Carr  and  the

Trading Advisors.



Finally, MSDW has begun developing various "contingency plans" in

the  event  that  the  systems of such third  parties  fail,  and

Demeter  intends  to  consult closely with MSDW  in  implementing

those   plans.   MSDW  has  also  recently  reported   that   its

development of such contingency plans is proceeding on  schedule.

Despite the best efforts of both Demeter and MSDW, however, there

can be no assurance that the above steps will be sufficient to

                                

<PAGE>

avoid  any  adverse  impact  to  the  Partnership,  whether  from

failures  in  their own computer systems or those  of  Carr,  the

Trading Advisors or any other third party.



Risks  Associated  with  the Euro - On January  1,  1999,  eleven

countries  in  the  European  Union  intend  to  establish  fixed

conversion  rates  on  their existing  sovereign  currencies  and

convert to a common single currency (the "euro").  During a three-

year  transition  period, the existing sovereign currencies  will

continue  to exist but only as a fixed denomination of the  euro.

Conversion  to  the euro will prevent the Trading  Advisors  from

trading  in  certain currencies and thereby limit its ability  to

take  advantage  of  potential market  opportunities  that  might

otherwise have existed had separate currencies been available  to

trade,  and  could  result  in  losses  with  respect  to   those

positions.
