SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application to Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (Eaton Vance Corp., Non-voting Common Stock, $0.625, 
Par Value) File No. 1-8100

February 21, 1997.
    Eaton Vance Corp. (``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 (``Security'') from listing and registration on the Boston 
Stock Exchange, Inc. (``BSE'').
    The reasons alleged in the application for withdrawing the Security 
from listing and registration include the following:
    According to the Company, the non-voting common stock is listed on 
the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE''), and an application on 
Form 8-A for registration of the Company's non-voting common stock on 
the NYSE was declared effective by the Commission on August 15, 1996. 
The Company does not see any particular advantage in the dual trading 
of its securities and believes that dual listing would fragment the 
market for its securities. Also, the Company cannot justify the expense 
of being listed on two exchanges and thereby, wishes to withdraw from 
the BSE.
    Any interested person may, on or before March 14, 1997, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 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.
