A Comp! tion of Nervous Ailments and Bright's Di se. ‘Washington, Aug. 5.—Mrs. Woodrow ‘Wilson, wife of the president of the United States, lies at the point of death tonight. Four months of almost unbroken iii ness, a complication of nervous ail- ments and Bright's disease have sap- ped the vitality of the first lady of the land. The end is regarded as a mat- ter of days. perhaps hours. Her three daughters are at her bedside and rela- tives have been summoned. Physi- cians have been in consultation for days, but it was admitted at the “White House tonight that hope for her recovery had almost vanished. Conscious at Intervals. Consclous only at intervals, Mrs. Wilson has been cheerful and has ca'l- ed constantly for her husband. Every spare moment that could be spared from urgent official duties bave been devoted by the president to his wife. At the side of his constant helpmate and adviser, he wrote the tender of good offices appealing to the Furopean monarchs to stay their conflict. From the sick room he has been giving di- rections to the various department heads for the relief of thousands of Americans stranded abroad. The press of domestia legisiation, the European war and Mexican situation, and the flurry - over finaneial conditio s throughout the eountry, have welghsd heavily on the presidént as he nas maintained his day and night vigil.

For several days it-hls been known te those in closest touch with the White House that Mrs, ‘Wilson was gravely ill and that hope for her re- €overy was slight, The president him- seif has clung desperately te the hope that she might yet survive the erisis, but her frail eonstitution, drai ed by months of never-ending fllness, hxas been unable to withstand the bat- tle.

Some Inquiry for Stocks. There was some inquiry for the bet- ter known . stocks from local and out of town sources at prices a point or more over last Thursday’s quotations, but sales were moderate and trading Iimited to outside brokers. Money markets, while in no sense demoralized, maintained their nominal tone of recent days. Some of the banks advanced loans from six to eight per cent, but the former rate pre- vailed in most cases. Banks were loath to renew expiring lpans on the ground that the absence of trading made such action unnecessary and on the additiona] ground that it was deemed best fo strengthen reserves. Nevertheless, arrangements wers under way for the completion of large | loans, possibly up to $50,000,000, to | cotton planters, whose affairs are in a onfused state because of the war. Loans made will probably.stand until | the staple can be shipped to foreign ports without danger. | Foreign Exchange Nominal. relign exchange also was nomi- ndl, with transactions at a minimum. | Brokers are yet without satisfactory | means to carry out existing contracts and will make no new ones. Commer- clal banks are likely to purchase com- mercial paper before long, unless the domestiec monetary situation becomes more complicated.

Applications at the sub-treasury to- day fbsorbed about two-thirds of the $45,000,000 currency on hand there, is that daily receiuts of about $100,00,000 from Washington for the balance of the week will be sufficient for local needs.” Savings Banks Free from Runs. Further runs on small private banks ‘whose business is mainly with foreign- ers were reported today, but these were accepted as a naturai corollary of existing conditfons and without bear- ing upon financial conditions as a whole. Savings banks were mostly free from anything In the nature of runs or uneasiness on the part of de- | positors. Quotations for steel and iron were withdrawn by leading mears today. This, it was said. indicates a purpose | to make no commitments at recent low | prices. ASPECTS OF A BLOCKADE A OFF ATLANTIC COAST. British, German and French War Vessels Lurking Along Ocean Lane.
