WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -

The Federal Reserve on Tuesday said it received 71 bidders for its Monday auction of $75 billion in 28-day credit. The loans are being offered as part of a special term auction facility to help alleviate liquidity problems in global financial markets stemming from losses due to risky mortgage-based securities. Total propositions submitted reached $96.6 billion, or a bid/cover ratio of 1.29. The awarded loans will settle on Thursday.
