Describe Wal-Mart and Targets types of securities issued at the last offering
when the offering took place?
how much was offered?
Could you PLEASE post a reference.

Hello and thank you for your question.

The Wal-Mart SEC filings are listed chronologically at
http://www.hoovers.com/wal-mart/--ID__11600,Page__1,Sort__D--/free-co-sec.xhtml

Reading through the headings, the most recent securities offering is a
Form 424B2 filed in connection with a primary offering of securities
on a delayed basis:
http://www.hoovers.com/free/co/secdoc.xhtml?ipage=3198556&doc=1&num=4
"After the sale of the notes, we will be permitted to issue an
additional $1,800,000,000 of debt securities under a registration
statement of which the accompanying prospectus and this prospectus
supplement are a part. No limit exists on our ability to register
additional debt securities for sale in the future."

If the 'delayed basis' is a problem for you, the next earlier Wal-Mart
filing that might suit your needs is
£1,000,000,000 initial principal amount of 5.25% Notes due 2035.

[I don't think this is what you want, however)

and, earlier, a delayed basis filing similar to what we saw for Wal-Mart
The notes will be our general unsecured and senior obligations issued
in an initial aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000. The notes
will rank equally with all of our other present and future senior
unsecured indebtedness.

and before that, a non-prospective filing 
TARGET CORP S-3 filed on 02/11/2002 
Debt securities, preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, common
stock, par value $.0833 per share(5), depositary shares and securities
warrants   $4,000,000,000
