KING FIGHTS FOR
 HIS VERY LIFE
(Continued from First page)
father alive.
 Brief Bulletin

father alive.
 RrirC Bulletin
 The official bulletin, which was brief and still -commttal con- Neyed little to the general public. and certainly gave no ground Tor belief that there was any change for the better in the kings condition.
 It was evident that the persistent fever which has wracked King George for more than three weeks and has been sapping strength day by day still held a firm grip upon him.
 Resistance Weakens
 That the kings powers Of re- sistance have been ebbing for days under the strain of lung infection which spread to his general system, has been evident from the physi- clans recent reports. There was some comfort for his anxious sub jects, who have been hoping almost against hope. however in the state ment in today's bulletin that there had been no further diminution of strength after a night in which the king had several hours sleep in stead of passing a disturbed night as was Sundays. Whether this was a natural sleep was not stated ill the bulletin.
 The bulletin signed by Sir Stanley hewett and Lord Dawson of Penn said:
 His Majesty, the King. has had several hours sleep. The tcmpera- ture remams high but there is nc further impairment of the strength.
 That public concern over the kings condition was increasing was shown by the growing size of the crowds which gathered around Buckingham Palace. The thrOne was large despite the prevalence oi biting winds which sweep across the exposed plaza these cold wintcl days.
 Not Much Comfort
 Those who waited outside tho palace had to he content with what comfort could be obtained from the statement that there was no further diminution in the kings strength and this statement when read 1T connection with the fact that there vas no relaxation in the grip of tn, fever, did not afford any grea amount of comfort.

MARKET STAGES
 RECOVERY TODAY
Rises Uader Stimulus Of Short
 Covering 6-Crdit Eases

New York, Dec. Il R-The stock market made further recovery to- day under the stimulus of short covering and further easing in credit conditions. Several of the high priced specialties snapped back 5 to Is points, with the copper, public utility, merchandising. motor and rail shares giving the best demonstrations of group strength. Trading was only moderately heavy in volume.
 Call money renewed at 8 per cent and then dropped to z, with no ap- preciabie calling of loans. Bankers point out that the course of the money market for the balance Of the year will be governed. to some extent, by stock market activity. but a temporary stiffening is expected later in the week because of pre- parations for Dec. 15 income tax payments.
 The receipt of $2.o0o,noo addition al gold from Canada today brought the total on the current movement to $7.0Oo,o00.
 Rumors of several impending consultations had a buoyant effect on stock prices. The announcement last night of a large department store merger is widely believed 10 be the forerunner of series of im- portant consultations next year in the merchandising, automotive, tex tile and other fields. Except for a sharp drop in Bolivian bonds yes terjey, the market has not mani- fested much concern over the bor- der dispute between Bolivia and Paraguay. The critical turn taken by King Georges illness is reported to have resulted in some selling of American securities by British in- vestors, but good foreign buying is reported from Amsterdam.
