234 A HISTORY OF SHORT-HORN CATTLE, 



Lucilla, roan four-year-old, by Edmund (1954) , also bought by 

 Mr. Neff and resold to Benjamin Scott of Kentucky. 



Brutus 31, roan yearling bull, bred by Whitaker, bought by 

 Mr. Neff for $330. 



Bruce (3233) , red yearling bull, bred by Whitaker, bought by 

 Mr. Rotch of New York for $360. 



Miser (2323) , white yearling bull, bred by Whitaker, bought by 

 Mr. Cunningham for $470. 



While these prices were not altogether sat- 

 isfactory to Mr. Whitaker he sent out another 

 considerable shipment in 1838 or 1839 that were 

 also- sold near Philadelphia. In this lot were 

 twenty-two cows and heifers and six bulls. 

 They were sold at sales held in the years 1838 

 and 1839, but accurate records as to what be- 

 came of many of the cattle have not been pre- 

 served. There are in fact few descendants of 

 the females included in these last shipments on 

 record in this country. One exception to this 

 may be noted, however, in the case of the roan 

 Victoria, by Luck's All (2230), of Mr. Cattley's 

 breeding, that was bought at the sale by Mr. 

 George Brinton for $520. This was about the 

 highest price made at the last sales, values rang- 

 ing sharply downward from about that figure. 

 The depression which was at this date begin- 

 ning to settle down upon American industries 

 militated against success in these operations of 

 Mr. Whitaker and he made no further ship- 

 ments.
