of the defendant acted only as the plain- 

 tiff 'b amanuensis in writing it on the 

 document. The agent testified that he 

 told the plaintiff that the defendant's 

 acceptance of it was necessary if it was 

 to have any force. 



"On the evidence, as it appears in 

 writing, and on testimony which is not 

 disputed, we are of the opinion that 

 there was nothing in the defendant's 

 action which amounts to an acceptance 

 of the memorandum proposition by the 

 plaintiff. It must therefore be held that 

 the plaintiff had no right to recover for 

 the 2 cents per pound claimed." S.

BRITISH INCOBFOBATIONS. 



The change of three large British 

 seed houses into what are called in that 

 country public joint stock companies 

 during the present year has caused the 

 Financial Times of London to comment 

 upon this action, hitherto unknown in 

 the seed trade there. 



"The first company floated," stated 

 the Financial Times, "was the South- 

 ampton firm of Toogood & Sons, which 

 has a capital of £250,000. It came out 

 in January, and as it took over the 

 business from the previous July 1, it has 

 already been able to issue its first an- 

 nual report, exhibiting excellent results. 

 Then in July appeared the St. Albans 

 house of Ryder & Son, which has a 

 capital of £150,000, and a few weeks 

 after followed the Sleaford undertaking 

 of Charles Sharpe & Co., which has a 

 share and debenture capital of £250,000. 

 These seed houses are all well known 

 to those who love gardens and have 

 been long established, Toogood in 1815, 

 Sharpe also in the early part of last 

 century, and Ryder in 1897. 



"Neither of the giants of the indus- 

 try, Sutton & Sons and James Carter & 

 Co., has yet fallen into the promoter's 

 net, and one can well imagine what 

 an oversubscription they would get if 

 ever put on the market. Sutton's was 

 founded in 1832, and all the partners 

 still bear the family name. Carter's 

 dates back to 1836, and no longer in- 

 cludes anyone of that style in the part- 

 nership. We can understand how the
