Important Grain a rbitratIon Decision

An important decision has Just been rem
dered by an arbitration committee OF the
Corn and Flour Exchange, which will in
future, no doubt, serve as precedent when
sales or offers by cable are in dispute. The
committee was appointed to settle dis
agreement between MessrS. Branch Il Co.,
OF Richmond, and BorrOwman, Phillips a.
Co of London, growing out Of the follow
ing transaction: Some time since Branch d
Co. cabed to the London firm an offer OF
a cargo OF grain at certain figure, but
did not receive a reply until late in the
evening, after business hours, when the
London house agreed TO take the cargo at
the stipulated price. In the mean time the
price OF grain had advanced, and the Rich
mond frm declined TO make good their
offer upon the ground that according TO
their code (Which regulates the manner OF
selling, and with which every grain firm is
provided they should have received reply
accepting The offer before ~ o'clock noon
The London firm contended that their code
read different, and that Branch & Co. were
liable, and should deliver the cargo at the
price offered and accepted. 1t was al length
agreed by both parties to submit the case to
committee OF arbitration, appointed BY
the Baltimore Corn and Flour Exchange
who, after a careful Investigation Of The
case, decided In favor Of Nessrs. Branch &
Co. Mr. BorrowmaD, Of the London firm
