The Hon. Mr. E. H. Sharp, K.C., instructed by Mr. John Hastings, appeared for the plain tiff Orm; and Mr. H. Pollock, KC, insterated by Mr. R. F. C. Master (of Moss, Jobinson, Stokon and Mastor) for the defendants.
The Hon. Mr. Sharp, in opening, said: There are seven contracte between the plaintiffs and the defendants; and this action is to recover damages for non-delivery of yarn under these seven similar contracts of asle. The plaintiffs show that these contracts were made on three dates close together, the 8th. 17th and 20th of December 1963. The first of these contracts is for 200 bales, at $199 por balo, of which the plaintiff got 167 kales only; and 300 bales at a lightly advanced price, $1094, which the dofon. dants were unable to deliver in any part. On
the ith Decomber there were five contracts.
Altogether these added 700 bales which the plaintitis wore szable to deliver; and on the 20th Decomber Where was one contract for
bales which the defendunts did not deliver. So there was a total of 1,700 bales of which the defendants have only delivered 167, leaving 1,533 still due. The contracts were expresset to be for cargo in godown, but, as it turned out, the defendants had ouly paper cargo," and nothing, or at any ralo no great anioant
in the goderm. That is to say, the defendants entered into the contracts for the sale of yaru which they had not got, speculating on the state of the market whom they should have to deliver, and the market wont against them. The prico rose, and the defendants were unable or unwilling to meet their obligations. buy this large amount of yarn, in order to satisfy the plaintiffs, at the contract price. We shall prove a rise in the market after the date of the entrant. In January 1903 the market prica was about $116 per bale, a very considerable rise from $100 per bale. Io the middle of February there was a slight relapse or account of the war. In the middle of March the price was again $116:
