A pillow manufacturer telegraphed a merchant who sold feathers: “Please have 6,000 pounds of feathers ready for June 1 delivery.” The feather merchant’s reply stated that he would be happy to fill the order at the usual price, but added that he could have only 4,000 pounds ready on June 1, with another 2,000 pounds ready June 8. The pillow manufacturer did not respond.
The effect of the communications between the pillow manufacturer and the feather merchant is that:
A. No contract was formed unless the pillow manufacturer informed the feather merchant of her assent to the proposed delivery schedule within a reasonable time.
B. No contract was formed because the feather merchant’s terms constituted a rejection of the pillow manufacturer’s offer.
C. There is a contract for the delivery of 6,000 pounds on June 1.
D. There is a contract for delivery of 4,000 pounds on June 1 and 2000 pounds on June 8.
