Plaintiff sued to recover $2,-608.62 as damages for the alleged failure of the defendant to deliver lumber pursuant to the terms of a written contract between the parties.
Defendant pleaded an exception of no cause of action, which was referred to the merits. For answer the defendant alleged that plaintiff did not comply with the obligations of the contract in the matter of sending inspectors and of making cash advances on lumber ready for delivery, and that both parties mutually agreed that the contract should continue no longer than was necessary to deliver all lumber then on hand.
