HOW TO REDEEM SHARES
        Effective November 4, 1996, the Fund will deduct a redemption fee
equal to 1% of the net asset value of Fund shares redeemed (including
redemptions through the use of the Fund Exchanges service) less than fifteen
days following the issuance of such shares. The fee will be retained by the
Fund and used primarily to offset the transaction costs that short-term
trading imposes on the Fund and its shareholders. No redemption fee will be
charged upon the redemption of shares through the Fund's Check Redemption
Privilege, Automatic Withdrawal Plan or Dreyfus Auto-Exchange Privilege, or
shares redeemed from omnibus accounts. Furthermore, no redemption fee will be
charged upon the redemption of Fund shares acquired through reinvestment of
dividends or distributions, nor will the redemption fee be used to pay fees
imposed for various Fund services or shares. The redemption fee may be
waived, modified or discontinued at any time, or from time to time.
