<DIV><BR>>MAD BOTTLENECK IN AUSTRALIAN GOLD MARKET <BR>><BR>>Sydney, 
Oct. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Gold rose 4 percent to a <BR>>two-year high in Asia as 
speculators, producers, <BR>>investment fund managers and banks raised bids 
to buy <BR>>the precious metal in a rally that's seen the price <BR>>jump 
22.4 percent in nine days. <BR>><BR>>Gold for immediate delivery rose as 
much as US$13.15 an <BR>>ounce, or 4.1 percent, to US$330.50 an ounce in 
Sydney <BR>>interbank trading, the highest price since October <BR>>1997. 
<BR>><BR>>Dresdner Kelinwort Benson bullion trader Paul Lee said 
<BR>>he's never seen anything like the move to buy gold to <BR>>cover 
forward and futures positions in his 10 years of <BR>>gold trading. 
<BR>><BR>>"It's like there's a fire and everyone's running toward 
<BR>>the same exit door. We have banks, producers, hedge <BR>>funds all 
wanting to do the same thing at the same <BR>>time. We are seeing a supply 
bottleneck. Producers are <BR>>backing off from selling. They are standing 
aside and <BR>>not selling any more," he said.
