cattle sold for near $40,000, the top being $3,060 

 for the bull Lancaster, Mr. BOOTH giving $1,350 

 for the bull calf Pilot (496), afterwards a famous 

 sire. The end came in October, 1820, when the 

 remaining 46 head sold for around $10,000. There 

 was general depression in agriculture at this period. 

 It appears, nevertheless, that about $50,000 was 

 realized at the two auctions.
