BIZ In Equity Filed for an Accounting
of Its Business.

equity which calls upon the American
Sugar Refining company to give an &C.
counting of its business for the past
four years was filed before Chancellor
Magic Friday on behalf of George H.
Earle, Jr., receiver of the Pennsyl.
vania Sugar Refining company, OF
Philadelphia.
The suit, 1t is said, is the only one
Of the kind ever filed in this country
and the step taken by the receiver OF
the Pennsylvania company may be
the means of opening an entire new
field for investigating the trusts. The
suit is separate from that for $780,.
100000 damages which Mr.. Earle in.
stituted against the American Sugar
Refining company in New York Mr..
Earle, who was appointed ancilary
receiver for the Pennsylvania Sugar
Refining company in New Jersey,
seeks by his suit to compel the Amer
ican Sugar Refining company to make
an accounting of its profits since De
icember 10, 1903, when 1t secured con
troll Of the Pennsylvania company. He
holds that in securing the controlling
interest In the Pennsylvania company
the American company became trus
tee for the concern and is responsible
TO It for an accounting.
The American Sugar Refining com
pany never operated the Pennsylvania
Sugar Refining company plant, but the
receiver for the latter company holds
that the old law which makes it neces.
sary for trustee to make profits and
render an accounting of funds placed
in its custody, applies to the Ameri.
can Sugar Refining company.

ket opened firm at a decline of 2 points to
an advance OF II points, and inside Of the

December 10 against II, 112,000 to the same
date last year. This report was a dot
above expectations of a week or so ago,

at the opening. Later the market eased
off several points from the best under re-
alizing. but was steady during the middle
of the morning at a net advance of about
13ll5 points. Cables we're slightly dlsap-

vance of about 10 to II points.
