London, Aug. 22.—A statement of the condition of Oscar Wilde’s finances shows his liabilities to be £3591, with no available assets. His
insolvency is ascribed by him to the failure of his action for libel against the Marquis of Queensberry, who is now a petitioning creditor seeking the
payment of the costs of his defence, which the court ordered Wilde to pay. Wilde’s income has averaged £2000 a year, chiefly derived from his literary and
dramatic work. He has been insolvent two years his expenditures having greatly exceeded his income.
