SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (P.H. Glatfelter Company, Common Stock, $.01 Par 
Value) File No. 1-3560

December 3, 1998.
    P.H. Glatfelter Company (``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 American 
Stock Exchange, Inc. (``Amex'' or ``Exchange'').
    The reasons cited in the application for withdrawing the Security 
from listing and registration include the following:
    The Company's Security has been listed for trading on the Amex and, 
pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form 8-A which became effective 
on October 23, 1998, the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE''). 
Trading in the Company's Security on the NYSE commenced at the opening 
of business on November 12, 1998, and concurrently therewith such 
Security was suspended from trading on the Amex.
    The Company has complied with Rule 18 of the Amex by filing with 
the Exchange a certified copy of the resolutions adopted by the 
Company's Board of Directors authorizing the withdrawal of its Security 
from listing and registration on the Amex and by setting forth in 
detail to the Exchange the reasons for such proposed withdrawal, and 
the facts in support thereof. In making the decision to withdraw its 
Security from listing on the Amex, the Company has concluded that after 
the recent acquisition of S&H Papier-Holding GmbH, the specialty paper 
division of the Schoeller & Hoesch Group, in Germany, a listing on

the NYSE will enhance its international visibility and will foster its 
reputation as an international producer of fine printing and writing 
papers, as well as tobacco and other specialty papers.
    The Exchange has informed the Company that it has no objection to 
the withdrawal of the Company's Security from listing and registration 
on the Amex.
    This application relates solely to the withdrawal from listing of 
the Company's Security from the Exchange and shall have no effect upon 
the continued listing of the Security on the NYSE.
    By reason of Section 12(b) of the Act and the rules and regulations 
thereunder, the Company shall continue to be obligated to file reports 
under Section 13 of the Act with the Commission and the NYSE.
    Any interested person may, on or before December 24, 1998, 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 
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 matter.

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