World Wide Stone Corporation New Corporate Offices, Factory Showroom and Warehouse: 5236 South 40TH Street, Phoenix, Arizona 85040, USA Telephone (602) 438-1001 <> Telefax (602) 438-6888 Jonathan G. Katz Secretary, Securities and Exchange Commission Mail Stop 6-9 450 Fifth Street NW Washington DC, 20549 re: file no. S7-5-99 Dear Mr. Katz I am writing you to urge you not to pass the above referenced rule changes to 15c2-11. I agree that fraud in this segment of stock trading is high and an enormous problem of concern to us all. However this proposed action will, in my opinion, seriously exacerbate the problem. No broker dealer will be able to accept such a liability as proposed and therefor will not be trading in pinks or bulletin board stocks. I believe the SEC is well intentioned in its efforts to combat microcap fraud, but fails to recognize the impractical and onerous burden this amendment would place on legitimate market makers. Under these amendments, the responsibility of regulating and policing small company issuers, whether reporting or non-reporting, would effectively shift from the SEC to the Market Makers who trade in these stocks. Please sir, let's not allow this serious error to pass through the system. We will be forced to live with the damage done for a long time. Thank you. Sincerely, Frank Cunningham President
