CME Declares Force Majeure at Manhattan Gold Depository

``CME Group Inc. (CME) on Monday said that Manfra, Tordella and Brookes Inc., one of the exchange's gold depositories, will not be able to deliver metal as the lower Manhattan company deals with "operational limitations" almost a month after the arrival of Hurricane Sandy... CME said that individuals holding MTB warrants, or certificates for a specific lot of metal stored in the depository, may receive gold delivered from Brinks Co. (BCO) in New York. MTB is responsible for any additional costs incurred by customers receiving metal from Brinks, CME said.''
