Five high-grade companies borrowed a combined $2 billion Wednesday, down from more than $3 billion of new-volume in each of the prior two sessions.Larger deals included a $650 million, seven-year offering from asset manager Legg Mason Inc. (LM), which was priced to yield 5.682%, or 4.5 percentage points over Treasurys. Also, Cardinal Health (CAH) sold a $500 million issue of five- and 10-year bonds at 1.935% and 3.214%, respectively, or 1.20 and 1.45 points over Treasurys.Offered yields are generally falling as deals flow through the marketing period, suggesting they are being absorbed without much difficulty.
