          (File No. 333-34673)

Gentlemen:

     In accordance with the provisions of Rule 497(j) of Regulation C under the 
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") this letter serves to certify that
the most recent amendment to the registration statement of Form S-6 for the 
above captioned Trust does not differ from that which would have been filed 
pursuant to Rule 497(b) of the Securities Act.  Amendment No. 1 to the 
registration statement, which was the most recent amendment to the registration 
statement, was filed electronically with the Commission on September 22, 1997.

                                         Very truly yours,



                                         HOWE BARNES INVESTMENTS, INC.
