Bid-to-cover is the dollar amount bid divided by the amount sold; higher means stronger demand. "vs prior" compares each auction with the same security's previous auction, which may fall in an earlier month. Indirect share is indirect bidders' accepted amount over all competitive accepted, a gauge of foreign demand.
