The ten-year note auction drew a high yield of 4.310 percent and a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.59.
Last month, the Treasury sold $42 billion worth of ten-year notes, drawing a high yield of 4.632 percent and a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.48.
The bid-to-cover ratio is a measure of demand that indicates the amount of bids for each dollar worth of securities being sold.

On Tuesday, the Treasury revealed this month's auction of $58 billion worth of three-year notes also attracted above average demand.
