Magnifique Manufacturing Co. in New York for their October 1 Fall Showing. The cost
of shipping the dresses is $300. In New York, Magnifique dresses were the rage, but the
boom had not yet reached Dallas. By September 15, Smith’s realized that the shop could
not afford all of these dresses and called Magnifique to cancel the contract before the
goods were shipped. On September 15, the market price for the dresses in New York
was $9,000 and in Dallas, $5,000. On October 1, the market price had risen to $9,500 in
New York and to $7,000 in Dallas. What may Magnifique do? What damages may be
sought from Smith’s?
