Re:      Market Vectors ETF Trust, et al. (File No. 812-14418)

Request for Withdrawal of Application

Dear Ms. Hahn:

On January 15, 2015, Market Vectors ETF Trust and other applicants (the “Applicants”) filed an application for an order under Section 6(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), to amend an order under Section 6 (c) for an exemption from Sections 18(f)(1) and 18(i) of the Act (the “Application”) (SEC Accession No. 0000930413-15-000147). Due to an administrative error, the Application was filed via EDGAR Type 40-APP, when it should been filed via EDGAR Type 40-APP/A under existing File No. 812-14010.

Applicants hereby respectfully request that the Application be withdrawn and that the Securities and Exchange Commission take no action with respect thereto.

Should you have any questions, please call me at (212) 698-3526.

Sincerely,

/s/ Allison M. Fumai

Allison M. Fumai
