The Florists^ Review 



Maecu 18, 1920 



7^ plaintiff on its proving to be at least 

 ninety per cent good. The corn ten- 

 dered failed to come up to the required 

 test and there was some negotiation 

 looking to the acceptance of it at a re- 

 duced price, but plaintiff never took 

 possession of the corn, although it was 

 left at a certain place for him. 



The defendant, claiming that the mat- 

 ter had been adjusted under the nego- 

 tiations referred to, sent the plaintiff 

 a check for $44, bearing on its face the 

 words, ' ' For difference on seed corn and 

 bags." The plaintiff retained the check 

 for three months, without cashing it, and 

 then offered to return it, demanding re- 

 payment of the full $110 paid by him 

 in advance as the price of the corn to 

 be delivered under the original con- 

 tract. He then sued for the $110, and 

 the Wisconsin Supreme court upholds 

 his right to recover, as against a con- 

 tention made by the defendant that re- 

 tention of the check constituted a final 

 settlement which could not afterwards 

 be upset without mutual consent. 



"Had the check been cashed," said 

 the court, "and the money retained by 

 plaintiff, there would have been force 

 in the defendant's contention." S.

SOARING PRICE OF COWPEAS. 



Tlie present price at which cowpeas 

 are being quoted by shippers and deal- 

 ers rejiresents an almost unheard-of val- 

 uation for this commodity. 



The .short crop of cowpeas in 1919, 

 states t)ie Market Reporter, of the De- 

 partment of Agriculture, togetlier with 

 the small carry-over of the 1918 crop 

 July 1, 1919, has resulted in a commer- 

 cial supply this season which is little 

 more than one-half that of last season. 

 Altlinngh the production of cowpeas in 

 1919 was less than in 1918, the fact that 

 the carry-over in seedsmen's hands Julv 

 1, 1919, was only 2,000,000 pounds, as 

 comjtared with 9,800,000 July 1, 

 1918, doubtless is an equally important 

 factor affecting the present commercial 

 supply.
