The AsToR EsTATE.--rhe Journal of Com
merce learns from very good authority that the
value of the estate of the late John Jacob Astor
does not exceed 81 100000, of which about ST.
100000 is real, and $500, 900 personal The
real is given in the form of life estates, with pow
er of letting and selling. Mr.. VIM. b. Astor has
half the resduary personal estate in his own right
say 81 100000 to 81 100000. He is said to
have received 100000 several years ago ffom an
uncle, Henry Astor, which, by good management
and economy, with additions from other sources,
amounted at the date Of his fathers decease, to "a
bout $3,000O00 This, with what he receives
from the present estate as the residuaJy egatee,
will form an aggregate approaching the wealth Of
his father.
