Plaintiff's assignor was authorized to sell defendants' manufactory for $125,000. He found parties willing to take a lease of it for six months, with privilege to purchase it for the price stated. Defendants stated to one M. about the same time that they would be glad if a purchaser could be found at $100,000, but it did not appear that this remark ever reached the proposed lessees, or any intending purchaser. There was no evidence that the property had a market value of $125,000, except the above proposal of lease. Held, that defendants' statement did not destroy the market at $125,000, so as to entitle plaintiff's assignor to the commissions he would have made in case of sale. Barkley v. Olcott, 5 N. Y. S. 525.
