REPORT P|LSUDSK|
 IS SERIOUSLY ILL
Delay in Forming Polish Cabinet
 Laid to Sickness

Breslau, Germany, Dec. Il H(- Reliable information received today indicates Marshal Josef Pilsudski, Poland's strong man and dictator, is again seriously ill, and his illness is delaying formation of new cabinet to replace that of NJ. Swi- talski, resigned.
 Unusual slowness with which President Mosciki has conferred with leaders of the various parties is interpreted by certain observers as a deliberate effort 10 delay mat ters until the minister of war is again well, for nobody dares 10 form a government without the diCtators approval, not even the parties which overthrow the Switalski cabinet.
 President Mosciki saw only the leaders of the largest parliamentary faction yesterday and will see sev- cral more today and additional ones on following days, but he has given the impression of anything but haste. News of Marshal pilsudski's illness has been kept carefully from the public.
 As he suffered stroke twice before and his health has been poor lately, there was apprehension in informed circles, though his friends say he feels worse periodi- cally and then always rallies again.

TRADING IN BONDS
 VERY LIGHT TODAY
Interest Decreases as Confidence
 in Stocks Increases

New York, Dec. il tP, - The lightest bond market in weeks found prices moving listlessly to- day. In contrast to the buoyancy that accompanied the easing of money rates since the dehation in stocks, the market has been irregu- larly lower in recent sessions on the appearance of the higher charges for time loans which nor mally appear at this season. The rise in money has so far amounted to only half of one per cent, but hat has been sufficient to keep a0nd buying down.
 The list was steader in today's "arly trading, although changes were small. United States govern tIcnts met with somewhat better market, and the trcasuries made an Upward turn.
 New York Issue Offered
 Outstanding in the news was the sale of a SG5,o0O,00O issue of New ' Ork city 1 1-2 per cent corporate stock to q banking syndicate head ed by the National City company on bid of 102.G4S7. This repre- S"nted a premium of $1.52G,655 on the securities, which were divided into three groups; $27,O00,000 in lo-year stock; $30,OOO,00O in serial bonds due to 40 years; and sS,- 'oo.o00 in one to 50 year bonds.
 The Notation was originally chedulod for late in October, but vas postponed because of unfavor- able market conditions. Interest in municipal bonds has become lively in the last month and numerous loans have been sold at par or slightly over. The comparatively high price which New York was able to command was taken as in dcation of the bond markets inn proved position despite the tempo rary dullness which may be expect ed 10 prevail until the holiday pres sure on money rates has relaxed.
 Rails displayed firmness, with tiny gains and losses evenly distri- huted. Investment bonds in the utility and industrial groups were likewise steady and no changes of consequence developed.
 New issues publicly sold today included d $%,oo0, GOO loan in Peoples Light X Power year 51s per cent gold notes at 99:50 and an ad- ditional $3,000.0o0 offering of Cen tral Maine Power first 5s, due 1855, at 9S.50.
