SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Self-Regulatory Organizations; Notice of Application of Campbell 
Soup Company To Withdraw Its Common Stock, $.0375 Par Value, From 
Listing and Registration on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Inc., File 
No. 1-03822

May 24, 2005.
    On May 3, 2005, Campbell Soup Company, a New Jersey corporation 
(``Issuer''), filed an application with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to Section

[[Page 31551]]

12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act''),\1\ and Rule 
12d2-2(d) thereunder,\2\ to withdraw its common stock, $.0375 par value 
(``Security''), from listing and registration on the Philadelphia Stock 
Exchange, Inc. (``Phlx'' or ``Exchange'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(d).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Board of Directors (``Board'') of the Issuer approved 
resolutions on March 24, 2005 to voluntarily withdraw the Security from 
listing on the Exchange. The Board stated that among the reasons for 
its decision to withdraw the Security from Phlx were: (i) The Issuer 
maintains the principal listing for the Security on the New York Stock 
Exchange (``NYSE''); (ii) the maintenance of multiple listings requires 
significant time and expense in ensuring compliance with the rules and 
disclosure requirements of both the NYSE and the Phlx; and (iii) in the 
judgment of the Board, the benefits of continued listing on the Phlx 
are outweighed by the incremental cost and administrative burden of 
such listing.
    The Issuer states in its application that it has met the 
requirements of Phlx Rule 809 governing an issuer's voluntary 
withdrawal of a security from listing and registration by providing the 
required documents for withdrawal from Phlx. The Issuer's application 
relates solely to the withdrawal of the Security from listing on the 
Phlx, and shall not affect its continued listing on the NYSE or its 
obligation to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Act.\3\

    Any interested person may, on or before June 15, 2005, comment on 
the facts bearing upon whether the application has been made in 
accordance with the rules of Phlx, and what terms, if any, should be 
imposed by the Commission for the protection of investors. All comment 
letters may be submitted by either of the following methods:
