Eight i'm Trap Accused
OfSIOO, 900 Rum Theft
Men Cornered in Empty Ware
house Said To BE Band That
Robbed The Pcrsliing Concern

Trapped In an empty warehouse last
night at 81 Moore Street, Brooklyn, by
detectives who cornered them at the
point of revolvers eight men sur
rendered and were taken to the Stagg
Street station charged with burglary.
BY their arrest tbs police believe they
have captured the men who robbed the
Pershing Warehouse at Cd Meserole
Street, Brooklyn, on October 10 and
took 100000 worth Of bonded whisky.
The prisoners said they were Daniel
Epstein, of Al Forsythe Avenue; John
Baker. of 1874 West seventy-fifth
Street; Edward Mooney, 3aa Spring
Street; Thomas Russell. of ITS Perry
Street; Herman Sampson, Of 108 Marcy
Street, Brooklyn: Benjamin Knapp, of
81 Division Street. and Hyman Glasser,
of 81 Montgomery Street.
John Baker, the police say is out on
$4,000 bail for supposed connection
with the Leonard Street mail hold-up.
He was in charge Of the whisky truck
load.
Since the robbery Of the Pershing
Warehouse, the biggest theft of whisky
on record, detectives have been work
ing along the water front disguised as
longshoremep.
In a truck which they followed to the
warehouse last night was whisky
valued at $4,000, which the police say is
part of the loot from the Pershing
Warehouse.

views of the week by leading finan-

fact that, with only 10e cities so

prudent action at this time affords
a solid foundation for subsequent
progress.

Significant dew

Significant developments have
taken place in the money market
during the past week. There has
been flood of losnable funds from
interior points and time money is
now quoted at the lowest rate in
five years. Rates for call money
have not declined below 40 per
cent, but there Is an abundance OF
funds for all requirements. The

remained steady and wheat and
cotton prices have been inclined
upward while commodity prices are

the volume OF stock sales exceeded

clans have been searching the records
Tor a match TO the performance OF
the stock market during the past
week and have found that not since
May 1890. has there been week
marked by such transactions on
every full business day, and at that
time Wall Street was suddenly con-
fronted with the first shock OF com.
prehension that big business re-
action was impending. In contrast
TO present tendencies in the market,
SPECTATORS were as anxious 70

from that time until the latter part
of 1891 the stock market experienced
D period OF heartbreaking liquidation
in which prices never seemed TO
strike bottom, while the professionals
reaped the benefits of gigantic
ghort-selling process. Even the small
trader was induced to try his hand
at selling 'em short" and found IL
more profitable than buying for the
rise. Now the process has been com.
pletely reversed and the bulls have
had things their own way for an
uninterrupted period Of three months

steady quickening of the steal in
