"The profit per head would have been $4.61 had this lot been sold on 

 a market equally as good as that four weeks previous when the first 

 four lots were sold. The profits on Lot 6 would also have been greater 

 on such a market or the market four weeks later when the quotations 

 were 50 cents per hundred higher for this class of cattle.
