    Dear Sir
    The opportunity to comment on precious metals position limits and to have these comments
    inserted into the public record is very much appreciated.
    On the issue of COMEX silver speculative position limits a limit of 1500 contracts would appear
    to be the general consensus and I would like to ask the commission to consider establishing
    these limits.
    Please restrict any hedging exemptions from those limits to legitimate hedgers only.
    The concentration in COMEX silver futures have been very high for several years now on the
    short side of the market, and I would respectably request that the commission work within its full
    de legated powers to stop these levels of concentration.
    Thank you again for your attention to this important matter.
    ~incerely
    /~
