    Action by Oscar M. Hayman and others against the Canton Art Metal Company. From a judgment for plaintiffs, and an order denying its motion for a new trial, defendant appeals.- Reversed and remanded, with directions.
    Argued before KRUSE, P. J., and FOOTE, LAMBERT, MERRELL, and DE ANGELIS, JJ.
    Willard W. S'aperston and Saperston & McNaughtan, all of Buffalo, for appellant.
    ■ Vernon Cole and Shire & Jellinek, all of Buffalo, for respondents.
   PER CURIAM.

Defendant’s telegraphic offer to sell required its acceptance to be accompanied by certified check for $1,000. Defendant’s offer was withdrawn before plaintiffs had made their acceptance complete by mailing to defendant the required check. This we think defendant had the right to do and that there was no completed contract of sale. Defendant’s motion for a nonsuit should have been granted.

The judgment and order should be reversed, and judgment directed in favor of defendant, dismissing plaintiffs’ complaint, with costs to defendant in this court and in the court below.
