HAYS, Circuit Judge
(concurring and dissenting).
It was unreasonable for Glidden to pay $24.50 and $26.50 a ton when Hellenic repeatedly offered to carry the ore for $20.50 per ton.
*166Hellenic’s offer of November 8 was in writing and could have been accepted “without prejudice.” I find no evidence in the record of “refusal” to put the later offers in writing. In fact Glidden’s repeated counter-proposals appeared to make such a course fruitless, and there is no indication whatever that Glidden’s failure to accept the later offers was based on their not being made in writing
I therefore respectfully dissent.
I concur, however, in the opinion of the court as to the reduction of the Commissioner’s fees.
