But by last week the rush had resumed. International Utilities, a U.S. holding company whose subsidiaries supply gas and electricity in Canada, brought out a $12 million issue. A subsidiary of Manhattan's Bankers' Trust Co., the eighth largest U.S. commercial bank, turned to the Eurodollar market for $20 million.
