SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application to Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (The New York Times Company, Class A Common Stock, 
$0.10 Par Value) File No. 1-5837

September 11, 1997.
    The New York Times Company (``Company'') has filed an application 
with 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 American 
Stock Exchange, Inc. (``Amex'' or ``Exchange'').
    The reasons cited in the application for withdrawing the Security 
from listing and registration include the following:
    According to the Company, it believes that listing the Security on 
the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE'') will provide the Company 
with a higher profile venue for trading and that the holders of the 
Security will benefit from access to the larger trading market offered 
by the NYSE.
    The Company has complied with Amex Rule 18 by filing with the 
Exchange a certified copy of the resolutions adopted by the Board of 
Directors of the Company authorizing the withdrawal of the Security 
from listing and registration on the Amex, and a statement of Mr. 
Solomon B. Watson IV, the Senior Vice President and General Counsel of 
the Company, setting forth in detail the reasons for such proposed 
withdrawal, and the facts in support thereof.
    Any interested person may, on or before October 2, 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 
exchange 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 matters.

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