Though ordinarily damages for delay in delivering freight are measurable by the value of the freight at the des- tination, the bill of lading may validly provide that the value shall be com- puted with reference to the place of shipment. From the facts in this case, it appears that the holly was loaded December 12, that it did not arrive in Kansas City until December 17 and notice of its arrival was not given until the next morning, when there was no available market. The shipment, being refused by the customer for whom it nad been sent, was sold by the railro9,d company for an amount which netted only $ above freight charges. S. A MEMORIAL EMBLEM.
