      Abstract of the Decision.
    1. Sales, § 114
      
      —when refusal to accept shipments constitutes breach of contract. Where defendant contracted to purchase of plaintiff certain “Newark antimonial lead, running approximately from 15% to 18% antimony and not above 1% arsenic,” and accepted a certain quantity shipped but refused to accept further shipments unless they were found to be absolutely free from copper, and defendant’s witnesses testified no antimonial lead is produced “absolutely free of copper,” and there was no evidence that the amount of copper supposed to be in the antimonial lead was sufficient to impair its value or render it unsuitable to defendant’s purposes, held that defendant’s refusal to accept shipments unless found to be absolutely free from copper constituted a breach of the contract for, which plaintiff would be entitled to recover.
    2. Sales, § 65*—what is effect of provision in contract as to prohibition of given substance in ore. The expression in a contract of a prohibition against the presence of a given substance in ore sold would, under ordinary canons of construction, exclude any implied exclusion of any other substance.
