The standard was set by American influence, values ruling at Id to above those of Southern sales. A moderate estimate of the amount realised by the sale is £IBO,OOO. The catalogue comprised 9012 bales. Buyers represented English, American, and French manufacturers. American influence practically dominated the market.
