 A Potato Case. 



"In the case of Hurley v. Buchi, 10 

 Lea (78 Tenn.) 346, it appeared that 

 Buchi, a market gardener, applied to 

 Hurley to buy Early Kose potatoes, in- 

 forming the latter that they were de- 

 sired to plant for the early market; 

 that that variety matured about the 

 middle of June, and was worth on the 

 market $3.50 per bushel. A different 

 kind, actually furnished and planted, 

 did not mature until August. The court 

 disallowed the claim of the plaintiff 

 that he was entitled to recover as dam- 

 ages the increased value of the potatoes 

 he would have raised and sold if the 

 seed potatoes delivered had been of the 

 Early Rose variety; and this, on the 

 ground that the claim was based on the 

 assumption that, if the variety ordered 

 had been delivered, they would have 

 been planted, cultivated and matured at 

 a given time (in June), and that there- 

 fore speculative profits would be in- 

 volved. The speculative element, we 

 conceive, was that the anticipated crop 

 would have matured on a date that sub- 

 stantially differed from the date when 

 the seed potatoes that were actually 

 furnished would and did mature. 



"In its particular ruling on the point 

 of speculative damages, the case ^ of 

 Hurley v. Buchi may, and we think 

 should, be treated as not out of har- 

 mony with the widely accepted general 

 rule, but as announcing an exception to 

 it, based on the fact above referred to. 

 The uncertainty in the quantity of the 

 crop, dependent on weather and season, 

 under the facts of that case, was not 

 removed by any aiding reference to the 

 actual yieid under precisely, or fairly 

 similar circumstances. The weather at 

 or near the date of the maturing of 

 'Early Rose' seed potatoes might have 

 been such as to materially affect the 

 quantity and quality of the production, 

 while not having identical effect upon 

 the later maturing variety. 



The Measure of Damages. 



"Broadly stated, the rule is that for 

 the breach of an express warranty that 

 seed is true to name, where the seller 

 knows the use for which the same is 

 bought and the purchaser sows in ig- 

 norance of the true character of the 

 seed, the measure of recoverable dam- 

 ages is the value of a crop had the seed 

 been as warranted, such as would ordi- 

 narily have been produced that year, 

 less the value of the crop actually 

 raised. Wolcott v. Mount, 38 N. J.

EUBOFEAN MARKETS. 



The 'U. S. Department of Commerce 

 has the following to say on European 

 markets for American seeds: 



From Consul Frost, at Queenstown, 



Ireland: 



Leading seedsmen agree that, except in the 

 bulb trade, there has been no special difficulty 

 in securing stocks of seeds. Vegetable seeds 

 for this district are principally cabbage, turnip, 

 and mangold. These, together -with the ordi- 

 nary garden seeds, such as beets, carrots, beans.
