    Simmons, J. — A contract for the sale of goods was not complete, where there was an offer to buy at a given price, which was answered substantially in these terms: “Will accept. Eeasonable time for delivery. Please name limit ” ; no limit being at any time named, so far as appears.
    October 22, 1894.
    Complaint. Before Judge Sweat. Glynn superior court. May term, 1894.
    The petition was dismissed on motion, as insufficient in law. It alleged, that Davant & Hunt, brokers, sold to plaintiffs, for account of defendants ten cars of grits at $1.13 per sack, which sale was based on a telegram in the following language, sent by defendants to Davant & Hunt: “ Will accept for ten cars grits in sacks. Reasonable time for delivery. Please name limit.” Defendants failed to deliver the goods at the price agreed by them; whereby plaintiffs were compelled to buy and did buy ten cars of grits at $1.60 per sack. The' suit was for the difference in price.
    Garrard, Meldrim & Newman and Goodyear & Kay, for plaintiffs. Symmes & Bennet, by Harrison & Peebles, for defendants.
   Judgment affirmed.
