Re: PCQuote.com, Inc. Form S-1 Registration Statement No. 333-80335
Application for Withdrawal Pursuant to Rules 477 and 478
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477(a) and (c) and Rule 478(c) of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, PCQuote.com, Inc. (the "Company") hereby applies for
withdrawal of the registration statement on Form S-1 and all exhibits thereto
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on June 9,
1999 (File No. 333-80335), as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the
Commission on June 28, 1999, as further amended by Amendment No. 2 filed with
the Commission on July 19, 1999, as further amended by Amendment No. 3 filed
with the Commission on July 21, 1999, as further amended by Amendment No. 4
filed with the Commission on August 13, 1999, as further amended by Amendment
No. 5 filed with the Commission on August 31, 1999, as further amended by
Amendment No. 6 filed with the Commission on September 13, 1999, as further
amended by Amendment No. 7 filed with the Commission on September 28, 1999, as
further amended by Amendment No. 8 filed with the Commission on October 4, 1999
(as amended, the "Registration Statement"). The Company has determined to
request withdrawal because of unfavorable market conditions and the
determination by its Board of Directors that the sale of the securities covered
by the Registration Statement at this time would not be in the best interests of
its stockholders. None of the securities covered by the Registration Statement
have been sold.
The Company further requests:
1. That the Commission find that the withdrawal hereby requested is
consistent with the public interest and the protection of
investors; and
2. That an order with the date of granting of this withdrawal be
included in the files of the Commission for the Registration
Statement, stating "Withdrawn upon the request of the registrant,
the Commission consenting thereto."
