Kimberly-Clark, InterGen Find Buyers for New Bond Sales as Demand Slumps

(Bloomberg) -- Kimberly-Clark Corp., the maker of
Huggies diapers and Kleenex tissues, and power producer InterGen
were among borrowers that pressed ahead with $10.6 billion of bond
sales this week as investor demand for company debt slumped.

Kimberly-Clark raised $2.1 billion in its biggest offering.
InterGen of Burlington, Massachusetts, sold $1.88 billion of
notes after reducing the sale and boosting yields twice to
attract investors. The deals brought total offerings for the
month to $37.6 billion, the slowest this year and a 19 percent
decrease from July 2006, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
