 LONDON, July 14 (Reuters) - The interbank cost of borrowing
three-month dollar funds edged up for a second day running while
equivalent euro and sterling rates marked the latest in a series
of historic lows on Tuesday, according to the latest daily
fixing from the British Bankers' Association. 
 The spread of three-month London interbank offered rate over
OIS rates for the greenback inched out but equivalent spreads
for euros and sterling tightened slightly.
 The spread expresses the three-month premium paid over
anticipated central bank rates, or Overnight Index Swap rates
and is seen as a gauge of banks' willingness to lend to each
other -- a wider spread is seen as an indication of decreased
inclination to lend. 
 Below is a table of the London interbank offered rates
(Libor) for dollar, euro and sterling funds in percentage terms,
with the change from the previous session in parentheses:
