Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1894. Excerpt: . . . 1894. Opinion of the Court. trolling thought of the contract in this regard is that the seller is to deliver at Philadelphia or Perth Amhoy, and to assume all expenses and all risks except the risk of freight strictly so called. If this clause had been omitted from the contract the buyer would have paid the exact price stipulated without deduction or addition, and the sellers profit would have been the profit on that price, increased by dispatch-money or lessened by demurrage. That the actual cost of transportation would vary from the rates of ocean freight was almost certain in the delivery by vessels of 160, 000 tons of ore and extending over a period of two years. There was danger of ruinous charges for demurrage, and the earning of dispatch-money depended upon the energy and foresight of the seller. There was but a chance of doing this, and there could be no reasonable expectation that it would ever be more than a chance unless the party whose skill and vigilance could improve it would be benefited thereby. When therefore the parties stipulated for a price based on a rate of ocean freight of eleven shillings per ton, and gave the buyer the benefit or burden of the difference, they meant the freight rate strictly so called, and not the net cost of transportation. The freight rate would be diminished by dispatchmoney or increased by demurrage, but these were unknown quantities upon which nothing could be based. They were risks which might result in gain or loss, but to the extent to which they were not purely chances, they depended upon the action of the seller. It is conceded that the plaintiffs would have borne the burden of demurrage charges, and they are entitled under the contract to the benefit of the dispatch-money. The judgment is affirmed. Sher. . .
