            File No. 811-5584
            Registration No. 33-23494

To the Securities and Exchange Commission:

      An electronic  filing was made under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933
Act")  and the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940 (the  "1940  Act") on behalf of
Centennial New York Tax Exempt Trust (the "Fund") on October 28, 1998 (accession
number  0000837278-98-000010).  The filing  consisted  of  documents  comprising
Post-Effective Amendment No. 13 to the Fund's 1933 Act Registration Statement on
Form N-1A and  Amendment  No.  15 to its 1940 Act  Registration  Statement  (the
"Amendment").

      Pursuant  to Rule  477 of the  1933  Act,  we are  hereby  requesting  the
withdrawal of the Amendment  filing.  The reason for the withdrawal is that this
filing was filed in duplicate. The Amendment was accepted under accession number
0000837278-98-000009 on October 28, 1998.

     If you  have  any  questions  regarding  this  filing,  please  me at (800)
552-1149.

                                                      Sincerely,


                                                      /s/ Patricia C. Foster
