The elevator storage at Minneapolis and

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. I

CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-The present condition
OF business shows that many people in their
extreme anxiety to believe in better times
ahead have been ascribing the existing de-
preston to wrong and superficial causes.
The first supposed bugbear in the way of a
return to prosperity was uureasauably.warm
weather in the early fall months, but this
went by and still business did not revive.
The next trumpeted obstacle in the path of
progress was the exciting presidential cleo
tion, but this came and went and still the
blessing Is not experienced. II will soon be
Acknowledged on all sides perhaps that
no superficial or temporary reasons can
account for the continued business
stagnation in this and other countries. The
circumstances are not only UNIQUE, but
somewhat contradictory. Makers and deal
ers are suffering from too much, aud makers
and consumers from too little. In other
words, plethora in some directions is ere
ating scarcity in others. FOO much fullness
is producing want. A river channel too
full OverdOws and causes destruction and
desolation as widespread as would ensue If
the same channel we're wholly dried up.
France paid to Germany after the last war
so much money as to bring on very serious
national evils and business depression
throughout the whole Germanic empire, and
similar troubles, arising from excess, are
now being felt in this country. We have 50
much money aud so many goods that poor
people can hardly get living and nobody
can get rich. Undoubtedly this rush aud
gorge of blood in the national system will in
time subside, and then the partially stag
nant channels of commerce aud industry
will again be healthful and active as before.
During the week there have been few
changes TO note. The movement in general
trade has been steady and quiet and uni
form. The quantity of goods going out is
fully up to the average of the same period
last year. The tone of the market is cheer
full, and there is no apparent sign of dis
cOuragement. IL seems that both merchants
and manufacturers have made up their
minds to enforce ecouOmy and to make a
vigorous effort for trade. Competition is
sharp, but prices can hardly go much lower.
Collections have improved very little. A
good many farmers are still holding their
grain in the hopes of better prices, and this
makes money rather scarce with the country
merchants to whom these farmers are in
debted. The feeling among money lenders
and capitalists is perhaps q trihe easier and
better than formerly

C0LERIDGE LIBEL SUIT.
The Lord Chief Justice Placed in a
Most Unenviable Position.

-hOSb OSlAlOus
NEW YORK, NoY. ga Sun special cable
referring to the Coleridge libel suit, says
Lord Chief Justice Coleridge is placed in a
most unenviable position before the public
by Mr.. Adams, who seems to be sincere and
determined in his action, and has thus far
managed to secure a large share of public
sympathy. During the proceedings he
labored to make a strong point morally
against the Coleridges, both father and son.
He showed that the lord chief JUSTICES
daughter was perfectly aware that he was a
poor man, compelled to make his own way
in the world. She had not been made the
victim of any deception in this respect
and entered into the engagement with full
appreciation of the change in her circum-
stances which the union would entail, and
agreed to the marriage from motives of the
purest and highest affection. When she
made her family acquainted with her inten-
lion, her father, Adams, alleged, became
furious and treated her with meanness and
barbarity. When he found that his cruelty
served but to increase her determination he
lnstigated his son Bernard to engage in the
Effort to poison hel mind against her be-
srothed. Bernards efforts towards this end
eliminated in his composition of the
letter TO his sister, which forms
the basis for the action. In
his presentation of the case Adams said
that Miss Coleridge was not shaken in her
affection by her brothers. efforts, and that
the letter only served to excite her indigna-
ton. When her father found out she had
delivered the letter to Adams he disinherited
her and turned her out from the parental
roof. Adams further showed Miss Colerdge
adhered to her engagement aud that she
warmly supported him in his present action
against her brother, toward the lord chief
justice Adams was very bitter. He desired
chief justice who would move heaven
and earth, to secure justice, even when II ad
versely affected himself or his interests.
Bernard Coleridge shows a disposition to
make vigorous resistance. His plea in de-
tense is that the letter being private com
munication from one momber of the family
10 another, from a brother to a sister.
warning her of her danger, must be consid
cred privileged communication and
therefore not actionable. Adams contends
that the law concerning privileged eommu-
nlcations must be confined in its projections
only to such communications as those for in
stance which pass between lawyers and their
clients, and cannot be extended to cover
malicious aad intended material iniuries
So far as the rulings of the Judge have indi-
Gated he appears to favor the plea raised by
the defense. Lord Chief Justice Coleridqe
has been subpenaed to appear as witness on
Monday next. Miss Mary Mildred Coeridge,
the heroine of the case, has also consented to
appear on the witness stand.
