Treasury Ad Campaign Fails To Lift Bond Sales
The July balance shows $418 million in sales versus $523 million in redemptions, keeping the Treasury $110 million in the hole for the month.

The Treasury asks Congress to raise rates to 5 percent, but a lasting fix requires curbing inflation and restoring public confidence in dollars.
