The effort exerted by the agent to obtain the best price for the client is his duty and in exchange for his wage. He is not entitled to take the increase resulting from price differences, for this money is a trust that must be returned to the client company. Difficult financial circumstances do not justify seizing it, and he must seek permission from the company before taking or returning the money.
