 New York, December S.-The stock mar ket for the short session today was very active and prices held very steady with inc exception of a few industrials. The weakest feature of the market was in T. c. l., which lost about points, selling at one time as low as 561a, after which there was a rally to 5S. The granger list lost slightly at the opening but recovered near the close. Sugar eased to 122% but rallied to 12S% on the close. Federal Steel was in good demand and gained over per cent. American Steel and Wire, while not active, was strong and higher. The London mar ket was a shade higher than our market this morning, causing a better feeling here. Money ruled comparatively easy but the bank statement was not considered good, although the reserve decreased it was not as large expected, being only $5,00O0O0. The close of the market was quite steady.
