LONDON, April 24. -- Counsel for Oscar Wilde made application in the Old Bailey Court this morning for a postponement of his client's trial.

Taylor's counsel wished to proceed, and the prosecuting lawyer argued in opposition to postponement. The court fixed Friday as the day for trial.

The sale of Oscar Wilde's effects by auction upon the order of the Sheriff is regarded as an indication that his pecuniary means are exhausted.
