Dear Sirs:
     
I am a public SOES trader and in regards to the actual size rule,
I think Market Makers should have to post the actual size they have 
avaiable just as we would have to post our actual size on any of the 
ECN networks.  These two standards, one for public traders and one for 
Market makers, gives them an unfair advantage in that they can lure as 
many SOES traders, or any trader for that matter, into a stock and never show 
the actual size they are willing to buy or sell.  This greatly changes 
the way we must trade because we are never really sure if we can buy or sell
more than 100 shares from any given market maker.  I'm sure you are 
concerned with how this ruling will affect the entire market, and from the 
public's point of view, I can assure you this change will only help the market marker 
to the detriment of everyone else.
     
thank you for you time,
