To calculate the total cost: 130 calices of salt beef & pork at $32 per calice is $37, 6-37 cents, or thirty-seven dollars and thirty cents in round numbers, and a half.
Multiply the cost by the number of vessels, which are supplied yearly, and you get the amount which strengthens Gaines' supply yearly.
