Sept 16 - Foreign holdings of U.S. Treasuries declined for a second straight month in July, data from the Treasury Department showed on Wednesday, led by declines in holdings from Japan and China.

* Japan holdings fell to $1.104 trillion in July, down 1.1% from $1.117 trillion in June. Its holdings dropped for a third straight month. It remained, however, the biggest non-U.S. holder of U.S. Treasuries, with holdings hitting a peak of $1.325 trillion in November 2021.
