On Thursday afternoon the will OF the late Edwin
A. Stevens was opened and read In presence Of his
family Two public school houses in H0boken,

cational purposes. He bequeaths s150,0o0 for the
erection OF an educational establishment on the
block at Hudson and Sixth streets and $4,000 for
the maintenance thereof when established The
stevens Battery is to be completed at cost not
ceeding 81, GOO, 900, and when completed to be pre-

With the exception OF the foregoing requests the
entire property falls TO the widow and children OF

widow OF deceased), Samuel b. Dodd (brother OF
Mrs. Stevensl and W. w. shippen. The latter gentle
man will continue TO transact the business OF the
stevens property and becomes chief agent OF the
Hoboken Land and Improvement Company. For
the last few years he has had almost absolute con-
troll OF Mr. stevens business.
The total value OF the property bequeathed, IN
GLIDING stocks capital and real estate, amounts 10
nearly s20,00000 This does not include the water
front from the Hoboken ferry to the Elysian Fields,
which at the lowest value would realize OO0
Within few years, when piers aud docks Will be

cialy as the Eyslan Fields will sooner or later be-
now the West Shore Hudson River Railroad, In
process OF construction, terminates there.
Mr.. stevens certainly found himself, on attaining
his majority the heir to ahandsome fortune but I'M
ike many unfortunate SPECTATORS spendthrifts or
lazy men OF his time, he invested all In what evenu-
ally brought him colossal wealth. His mind was an
active one and was ever engaged In the prosecution
OF some scientific plan or business enterprise SLOW.
ly, but steadily, the Of the H0boken Land
aud Improvement Company doubled and trebed, till
Mr. Stevens found himself monarch of territory
was not natural but was the product OF activity,
perseverance and innexble determination.

The general trade OF the city was moderately ac-
tive for the season. but prices not in all
fully supported. The dropping tendency OF cotton
impaired heaviness to cotton fabrics In the dry goods
trade and domestics declined from a half to one
cent per yard. The decline was assisted In some in
stances by obbers anxious to repenish their stocks
at the reduced quotations. The auction sales were
less numerous than In the previous week and not 80
well attended, while the bidding was comparatively
spiritess except for fine foreign goods and woollens,
which were comparatively firm.
The foreign exchange market was dull and droop-
ing. especially towards the Close owing to an en-
larged supply Of bills drawn against shipments OF
uroduce and nve-twentes and the absence OF q
corresponding demand from importers and others
for remttances. Prime bankers sterling at sixty

Money was abundant at three per cent to the prin-
cipal dealers In government securities and at four
per cent to borrowers mixed collateras, with
ceptiona transactions at five, some lenders asking
this rate for small and moderate amounts on the
pledge of speculative stocks. The supply OF CONNER
cial paper was about equal to the average OF late
and the best grade passed freely at 6h per cent
and in a few instances at g. The drain Of currency
westward was light, and this feature Of monetary
affairs reflected in the statement of the associated
banks Of this city for the week ending yesterday for
although the deposits show decrease Of s2664 4s7,
the loss in currency deposits is only $l1792s7, the
decrease in specie being sl,4s5,2oO. The other
changes are unimportant, but they, alike with the
other figures already quoted favor continued at
this centre There Is a decrease in the loans Of
sso3, 5s4 and in the circulation Of 500, 23S, while in
the legal tenders which includes three per cent
tcates there Is an increase OF s343 372a result not
improbably due to the return flow OF currency from
the West. which, according to some estimates was
nearly equal to the amount RENTED to that section.
