Mr. Barklev has taken the contentions 

 of the loprescntatives of these lines un- 

 der consideration and in all probability 

 when the bill is reintroduced at the next 

 session of Congress it will contain a pro- 

 vision ■ exempting seeds and nursery 

 stock wliore the misbranding occurs in- 

 nocently. 



The Barkley bill has the approval of 

 a great many trade organizations in 

 other lines of business, and it will doubt- 

 lessly go through shortly after the new 

 session of Congress convenes. Nursery 

 and seed trade representatives have 

 stated that they would interpose no fur- 

 ther objections if the amendments they 

 desire are adopted. C. L. L. 



NEW TWISTS IN CONTKACTS. 



A recent case before the Mississippi 

 Supreme court draws attention to an 

 interesting and important rule of law 

 governing the making of contracts of 

 sale. 



In this case the plaintiff agreed to 

 buy from the defendant 450 bushels of 

 peas. After this contract had been 

 made by telegraph, the buyer sent a 

 letter of confirmation, in which was 

 included tlie statement, "Kindly take 

 precaution and have them thoroughly 

 cleaned, seeing that they are in first- 

 class condition." This letter was not 

 received by defendant, or seller, until 

 after 175 bushels of the peas had been 

 shipped, and he then refused to make 

 further delivery on the ground that 

 he liad not agreed to sell peas cleaned 

 and of first-class stock, although the 

 buyer made frequent requests for com- 

 pletion of delivery under the contract. 

 The buyer then sued for damages for 

 such non-delivery and showed that he 

 had to buy substitute peas in the open^ 

 market, at a higher price than that at 

 which tlie defendant had agreed to sell. 

 In holding that the buyer was entitled 

 to recover such damages, the court said: 



"If the sort of peas mentioned in 

 the plaintiff's letter were not the kind 

 stipulated for in the original contract, 

 the defendant could have insisted on 

 the plaintiff standing by the contract 

 and receiving the peas contracted for. 

 The plaintiff received and paid for 175 

 bushels of the peas contracted for, and 

 the defendant could not relieve himself 

 from his contract without offering to 

 carry it out under the terms as origi- 

 nally stipulated. The defendant not 

 only failed to tender a performance of 

 his part of the contract, but repudiated 

 the contract by the positive refusal on 

 his part to carry it out." 



In other words, the court holds that 

 after a contract of sale has been made, 

 the seller has no right to regard it as 

 repudiated by the buyer merely because

the latter asks for delivery of a higher 

 quality of goods than covered by the 

 agreement. But the decision is not in- 

 consistent with the well settled rule of 

 law that the buyer's insistence that a 

 better grade than the contract quality 

 be delivered would amount to a repudi- 

 ation of the original contract. 



The decision applies the fundamental 

 legal principle that after a contract 

 has been once finally made, it is not 

 affected by any new terms that one 

 party may seek to impose without the 

 consent of the other. Of course, the 

 buyer in this case might have imposed 

 the condition that the peas be cleaned 

 and that they be of first-class stock, in
