U S Senator Thomas Eagleton cites preliminary Missouri bank survey data showing many banks hold New York securities in their municipal portfolios and that a default could affect Missouri bond issues. He notes 11 banks have over 50 percent of assets in New York bonds and 34 percent favor federal aid to bail out New York. Bond rates in Kansas City reportedly improve as Midwest banks invest more conservatively.
