SUGAR CoMpANY's REPORT.
Epreckcls Ritlicules Manner in Which Public is Taken Into Confidence.

Directors of the American Sugar Re- fnfng company made public to-day its balance sheet and net income account, which they had promised to publish af- ter the dispute over the question of publicity. at the shareholders meeting last January
 The statement as published was slightly more complete than that which in previous years the company had filed with the State officials of Massa- chusetts. but the general judgment of Wall street was that to-day's report was not complete enough to mark any very distinct progress toward publicity.
 Claus A Spreckels, who Is large holder of American Sugar stock, and at whose behest the promise of pub llcity had been made by the directors, declared that the management had not lived up to it's agreement
 In commenting on the company's statement Mir. Spreekels said:
 Wall street has been hearing for weeks of the elaborate report that the Sugar Trust was preparing, but all that can be said about the statement given out is that it is joke. There is TO more informa tion in that balance sheet than in the one that has been published in Massachusetts for years. No shareholder can tell from it what property is owned

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Continued Irrcgularity With BuIlish
 Tendency Marks Day.

New York, March 23.-Irregularitv marked the movement of prices in the stock market to-day. Business was in moderate volume and as has been the case for some time past almost who'll ly professional There is still dearth of public interest. Sentiment was bullish in the main, though de- velopments were not all of the sort to make for increased confidence. The days budget of news included fore casts of President Roosevelt's forth coming special message to congress. concerning which there was much di- versity of opinion; the first public re- port of the American Sugar Refining company, showing unexpectedly large cash assets and cash surplus; advices from the leading railway centers which bespoke more cheerful view of general conditions, despite fears of coal strike; a reported decrease in the number of idle freight cars and a good crop outlook. Dispatches from New England mill towns, telling of further wage reductions, served to call renewed attention to the labor situation, as something suggested by last weeks advices on that subject 1 from Washington. Rumors of a strike on the Reading system depress- ed the coalers during the early ses- sion. the balance of the railway list falling in sympathy, but general re- coveries were later registered. The early movement of prices was more i favorable to the industrial group than to the railers. Excepting the excel lent statement of the sugar company
 which advanced that stock smartly. i there was little to account for the strength in the industrial shares, though the belief is gaining ground that conditions in steel and iron and the metal trade generally are beginning to i take on a more hopeful aspect. In the final hour the market developed increased activity and strength under the lead of the Hartman and Hill is- sues and the steel and copper shares, the movement embracing the entire active list and number of specialties ] Ailpib liit ililptiil1fE tdDstS were the decision of the United States supreme ] court, which overturns the Minnesota

During the greater part of the morn ing Sugar Refining, Canadian Pa cific, American Locomotive, National Lead, and similar issues received most attention. These did not induce any public buying; in fact. their ac- tivity tended to arouse suspicion on the permancy of the advance.

New York banks paid the govern ment nearly S14,000.000 to-day on the treasury's recall of S35,000,000 public deposits. This was the last instalment paid by the banks since the treasury gave notice that the fund must be re- turned. Much of the money was for the account of out-of-town banks, which drew down their New York balances to pay the treasury at this centre. The operation was financed without the slightest difficulty, as the banks had more money to lend than the market would take around 2 per cent. on call Time money rates were a shade easier
