Alternatives might be to track one of the various utility indexes, like
the UTY index (Phily elec. Utils, ^UTY on Yahoo!), or the DJ utilis
index.  Some things I've read indicate that utilities lead the bond, so
that makes them a good candidate.  You can also look at the various
interest rate indexes, like TYX (^TYX on Yahoo!) which is the effective
interest rate on the cash 30-year bond.
