Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

GATA Chairman Bill Murphy has sent the following
letter to the Frankfurter Allgemeine in response
to its September 7 story quoting criticism of
GATA by the World Gold Council and its consultant,
Jessica Cross.

Murphy's reply is specific in every respect and

the WGC don't know what they are talking about, so

Anti-gold cabal gets desperate

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

One big gold shorter, Deutsche Bank, having bid for
another big gold shorter, J.P. Morgan, who else would
be the latest suitor for Morgan but ... the third
biggest gold shorter, Chase Manhattan?

That was the news today, and a Reuters story about it
is attached. This seems like a lot more than mere
coincidence. Gold's enemies are all collecting in one

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

The World Gold Council and Gold Fields Mineral Service
got their say today in the Frankfurter Allgemeine,
Germany's leading newspaper, as it published its third
article about GATA in two weeks.

Translations were quickly and most generously supplied by

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Reginald H. Howe of www.GoldenSextant.com has analyzed
the report on gold loans commissioned from Jessica
Cross by the World Gold Council and has found it not

Indeed, the Cross report may be taken as evidence of the
gold council's having gone over to the camp of the shorts

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

As chief executive of the World Gold Council, Haruko
Fukuda has developed an outstanding relationship with
executives of the gold mining companies. But there is a

in the gold market. She knows that and we know that.

So on behalf of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee, I
have sent her the letter that appears below.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

As you'll see from the attached dispatch from GATA
Chairman Bill Murphy, Europe's central banking
officials are awakening to the manipulation of markets
in the United States -- and GATA seems to have been the
alarm clock.

Now if only the gold mining industry itself would
awaken and begin supporting GATA in a substantial way.

European banks may be ready for showdown over gold

Spot gold $277.20, up $3.70
Spot silver $4.96, up 5 cents

Today was the best trading day of the summer for gold
and silver. The dollar was very strong as it went into
new contract high ground. Oil set back temporarily
after its torrid run up.

Why the relatively big move for the precious metals?

The German Bundesbank, or quot;Bubaquot; as it sometimes called by
certain locals, is reputed to make its views known on occasion
through articles placed in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung,
one of Germany's leading newspapers. On August 25, 2000, the FAZ
ran an article about gold that featured GATA and suggested that
