RE: NYMEX Rule 9.33/COMEX Rule 4.46 ) Large Trader Position Reporting For 
Thanksgiving Day Holiday
___________________________________________________________


This is a reminder that the New York Mercantile Exchange ("the "Exchange") 
and its COMEX Division will be closed on Thursday, November 23 and Friday, 
November 24, 2000.  The Compliance Department,s modem lines can accept 
NYMEX/COMEX large trader data transmissions for the close of business 
Wednesday, November 22, 2000, any time after 8:00 P.M. on Wednesday, November 
22 until 8:00 A.M. on Monday, November 27, 2000.

 If your large trader data for the trade date November 22, 2000 is 
transmitted on any day other than Thursday, November 23, 2000, please ensure 
that the trade date that appears in each record is November 22, 2000.  The 
computer system will accept no other date.  There have been problems in the 
past when the Exchange was closed because clearing members, computer systems 
automatically counted ahead one day.  In such cases, the data transmitted on 
the first business day following the Exchange holiday incorrectly referenced 
the trade date as the date of the holiday instead of the date preceding it.

Should you have any questions, please contact Bonnie H. Yurga at (212) 
299-2879, or Nick Falcone at (212) 299-2919.
