1Opinion of the Court
TONE, Circuit Judge.
This is a diversity action asserting claims arising out of silver transactions on the London Silver Market. Jurisdiction over the person of the defendants is asserted under the Illinois long-arm statute, Ill.Rev. Stat., ch. 110, § 17, applicable by virtue of Rule 4(e), Fed.R.Civ.P. Based on depositions, documents, and affidavits, the court dismissed the action for lack of jurisdiction, holding that the defendants’ contacts with Illinois were insufficient to subject them to that state’s jurisdiction. We reverse that decision with respect to two defendants.
