		QUARTERLY REPORT TO THE LIMITED PARTNERS
			OF DSI REALTY INCOME FUND IX


DEAR LIMITED PARTNERS:

We are pleased to enclose the Partnership's unaudited consolidated financial
statements  for  the  period  ended  March 31, 1999.  The  following  is 
Management's  discussion  and  analysis  of  the  Partnership's  financial 
condition  and  results  of  its  operations.

For the three month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, total revenues
increased 7.4% from $659,862 to $708,343 and total expenses increased 18.7%
from $413,659 to $490,804.  Minority interest in income of real estate joint
venture increased slightly from $24,788 to $25,649.  As a result, net income
decreased 13.3% from $221,415 to $191,890 for the three month period ended
March 31, 1999, as compared to the same period in 1998.  The increase in
revenue can be attributed to an increase in rental income due to higher
occupancy and unit rental rates.  Occupancy levels for the Partnership's
six mini-storage facilities averaged 83.3% for the three month period ended
March 31, 1999 as compared to 81.2% for the same period in 1998.  The
Partnership is continuing its marketing efforts to attract and keep new
tenants in its various mini-storage facilities.  Operating expenses increased
by approximately $79,600 (23.5%) primarily as a result of increases in
maintenance and repair, real estate tax, salaries and wages, workers
compensation insurance expenses and property management fees, partially offset
by a decrease in yellow pages advertising costs.  Property management fees,
which are based on rental revenue, increased as a result of the increase in
rental revenue.  Power and sweeping expenses increased as a result of the
extraordinary snow removal costs associated with the blizzard that hit
Illinois, where two of the Partnership's properties are located.  General
and administrative expenses remained relatively constant.

The General Partners plan to continue their policy of funding the continuing 
improvements and maintenance of  Partnership properties with  cash generated 
from operations.  The Partnership's  resources appear to be adequate to meet 
its needs.  The  General  Partners  anticipate  distributions to the Limited 
Partners to  remain at the  current  level  for  the  foreseeable  future.

We are not enclosing a copy of the Partnership Form 10-Q as filed with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission since all the information set forth 
therein is contained either in this letter or in the attached financial 
statements. However, if you wish to receive a copy of said report, please
