                  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"),  with  an unaffiliated clearing commodity  broker,  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   as  the  trading   advisors   of   the

Partnership.

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.

          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 June 30, 1998 and December 31,  1997,  open

contracts were:

                                 Contract or Notional Amount
                              June 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  $595,988  and

$1,204,698 at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively.



Of the $595,988 net unrealized gain on open contracts at June 30,

1998,  $751,727 related to exchange-traded futures contracts  and

$(155,739)   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 June

30,  1998  and  December 31, 1997 mature through March  1999  and

December   1998,   respectively.    Off-exchange-traded   forward

currency  contracts held by the Partnership at June 30, 1998  and

31,   1997   mature  through  September  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

$18,245,393  and  $20,945,026 at June 30, 1998 and  December  31,

1997, respectively. With respect to the Partnership's off-

<PAGE>

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


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).

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


Liquidity - The Partnership's assets are deposited with  DWR,  as

non-clearing broker and with Carr, as clearing broker in separate

futures   interest  trading  accounts,  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   be

illiquid.  If  the price of a futures contract for  a  particular

commodity  has increased or decreased by an amount equal  to  the

"daily  limit," positions in the commodity can neither  be  taken

nor liquidated unless traders are willing to effect trades at  or

within  the  limit.   Commodity futures 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 commodity futures  positions  and

result in restrictions on redemptions.

                                

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

<PAGE>

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  Units  of

Limited Partnership Interest in the future 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 Six Months Ended June 30, 1998

For  the  quarter  ended June 30, 1998, the Partnership  recorded

total  trading  losses  net of interest income  of  $719,211  and

posted  a  decrease  in  Net  Asset Value  per  Unit.   The  most

significant losses were recorded in the financial futures markets

during April and June.  In April, losses were recorded from  long

global  bond  futures  positions  as  Australian,  Japanese   and

European  interest  rate  futures  prices  reversed  lower  after

trending higher previously.  This trend higher in global interest

rate  futures  prices reemerged during May.  However,  additional

losses  were  recorded during June as this upward  move  reversed

sharply  lower  during  mid-month  in  reaction  to  the  Federal

Reserve's intervention to halt the downward slide of the Japanese

<PAGE>

yen.   A  small  portion  of these losses  was  offset  by  gains

recorded  from  long  European  stock  index  futures  positions.

Smaller  losses were recorded in the currency markets from  short

positions  in  the German mark and Swiss franc during  April  and

June.   Smaller  losses were recorded in the agricultural  market

from  long soybean oil positions as prices reversed lower  during

May  after  trending higher in March and April.   Smaller  losses

were  recorded in the energy and metals markets during the second

quarter.   A  portion of the overall losses for the  quarter  was

offset  by  gains recorded in soft commodities during  June  from

long cotton futures positions as prices moved higher.  Additional

gains were recorded from short coffee futures positions as coffee

prices  moved  lower.  Total expenses for the three months  ended

June  30,  1998  were  $514,862,  resulting  in  a  net  loss  of

$1,234,073.   The value of an individual Unit in the  Partnership

decreased from $958.16 at March 31, 1998 to $900.01 at  June  30,

1998.



For  the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Partnership recorded

total  trading  losses  net of interest income  of  $334,617  and

posted  a  decrease  in  Net  Asset Value  per  Unit.   The  most

significant  losses were recorded from long global  bond  futures

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

prices  reversed  lower after trending higher  previously.   This

trend  higher  in  global interest rate futures prices  reemerged

during May.  However, additional losses were recorded during June

as  this  upward move reversed sharply lower during mid-month  in

reaction to the Federal Reserve's intervention to halt the

<PAGE>

downward  slide  of the Japanese yen.  A small portion  of  these

losses  was  offset  by gains recorded from long  European  stock

index futures positions.  Additional losses were recorded in  the

currency markets during January due primarily to a reversal lower

in  the  previous  upward trend in the value of the  U.S.  dollar

relative  to  the  German mark, Japanese yen and  the  Australian

dollar.   Currency losses were also recorded during February  and

June from trading the Japanese yen and in March from trading  the

German  mark.   In the metals markets, losses were recorded  from

short  copper  futures positions as prices  moved  higher  during

January  and  March,  and from long silver futures  positions  as

silver  prices  reversed  sharply  lower  during  February  after

trending  higher previously.  In the agricultural markets  losses

were  recorded from trading soybean oil futures in May  and  corn

futures  in  June.  Smaller losses were recorded  in  the  energy

markets.   A  portion  of the Partnership's  overall  losses  was

offset  by gains in soft commodities from short sugar and  coffee

futures as prices in these markets trended lower.  Total expenses

for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were $1,092,258, resulting

in  a net loss of $1,426,875.  The value of an individual Unit in

the  Partnership decreased from $967.23 at December 31,  1997  to

$900.01 at June 30, 1998.



For the Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 1997

For  the  quarter  ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership  recorded

total trading revenues including interest income of $365,459  and

after  expenses  posted a decrease in Net Asset Value  per  Unit.

Net

trading losses were recorded in the energy markets as gas and oil

<PAGE>

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 three months ended June 30, 1997 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 recorded

total  trading  revenues including interest income of  $3,708,425

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 in the Japanese yen and German mark

<PAGE>

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 six months ended June 30, 1997 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.
