    1. Evidence, § 154*—what constitutes admission, of existence of contract. Testimony of a corporation defendant’s president identifying his letter to plaintiff referring to “our contract of February 8, 1915” and annulling “our contract with you,” held to he an admission of the contract, in an action to recover thereunder in which defendant’s affidavit of merits denied the making of the contract.

    3. Sales, § 376*—what is measure of damages for breach of com-■tract for purchase of goods. In an action to recover for breach of a contract for the purchase of certain goods, the difference between the contract price and the market price on resale after such breach, held to he the measure of damages.
    4. Municipal Coubt of Chicago, § 13
      
      —when affidavit of defense is insufficient. An affidavit of defense filed in an action in the Municipal Court, stating merely that the defendant did not know plaintiff to he a corporation, held not to he sufficient to put plaintiff to proof of its incorporation.
