SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
 

Valspar Corp.; Application To Withdraw From Listing and 
Registration

February 25, 1994.
    In the matter of Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application to 
Withdraw from Listing and Registration; (Valspar Corporation, Common 
Stock, $.50 Par Value) File No. 1-3011.
    Valspar Corporation (``Company'') has filed an application with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to 
section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') and Rule 
12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to withdraw the above specified 
security from listing and registration on the American Stock Exchange, 
Inc. (``Amex'').
    The reasons alleged in the application for withdrawing this 
security from listing and registration include the following:
    According to the Company, in addition to being listed on the Amex, 
its common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. 
(``NYSE''). The Company's common stock commenced trading on the NYSE at 
the opening of business on December 8, 1993 and concurrently therewith 
such stock was suspended from trading on the Amex.
    In making the decision to withdraw its common stock from listing on 
the Amex, the Company considered the direct and indirect costs and 
expenses attendant in maintaining the dual listing of its common stock 
on the NYSE and on the Amex. The Company does not see any particular 
advantage in the dual trading of its common stock and believes that 
dual listing would fragment the market for the common stock.
    Any interested person may, on or before March 18, 1994 submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street NW., Washington, DC 20549, facts bearing upon whether the 
application has been made in accordance with the rules of the exchanges 
and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission for the 
protection of investors. The Commission, based on the information 
submitted to it, will issue an order granting the application after the 
date mentioned above, unless the Commission determines to order a 
hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
