A warehouseman, in the absence of some lawful excuse provided by this act, is bound to deliver the grain upon a demand made either by the holder of a receipt for the grain, or by the depositor, if such demand is accompanied with: (a) An offer to satisfy the warehouseman's lien; (b) an offer to surrender the receipt, if negotiable, with such endorsements as would be necessary for the negotiation of the receipt; and (c) a readiness and willingness to sign, when the grain is delivered, an acknowledgement that it has been delivered, if such acknowledgement is requested by the warehouseman.
