darrell, more off topic on Jap US Treasury holdings, from FWN Washington-Oct. 28-FWN--JAPANESE HOLDINGS OF U.S. Treasury securities grew to a record $321.1 billion as of Aug. 31, according to U.S. Treasury Department figures released today. Japan holds 9.5% of all total privately held U.S. Treasury securities, the largest of any country. United Kingdom investors are next in line with 7.5% of all U.S. government bills, notes and bonds. In 1995 and 1996, Japanese investors held 6.7% and 8.4% of all U.S. government debt, respectively. The reason Japan continues to snap up U.S. Treasuries is yield. Japanese government securities yield far less than U.S. instruments. That has forced Japanese investors to seek higher yielding instruments outside of Japan. (c) Copyright 1997 FWN
