LONDON, Sept 21 (Reuters) - Spot gold prices continued higher on Tuesday in the wake of Britain's second gold auction, with short-covering pushing the price to touch $260.00 a troy ounce.

Dealers said the market saw the auction result as positive, after 25 tonnes of gold sold for $255.75 an ounce at a sale which was eight times oversubscribed.

Spot gold moved as high as $260.40 bid before dropping back. It was quoted at $259.90/$260.40 by 1440 GMT.

Gold's rise to a one-month high, through the top of the narrow range it held prior to Britain's second auction, followed dealer short-covering on the unexpectedly strong demand.

The auction price of $255.75 a troy ounce was down on the $261.20 received at the first auction in July but above recent market levels.

The sale netted Britain $206 million for reserve investments in dollars, euros and yen.
