Cost priority is self explaining.

Number is the unique port identifier for all ports on all bridges

--> Bridge id + port number

Thanks. One thing more, I am confused with Bridge ID. I know the Root ID. Please help me about Bridge ID.

BID is priority 8192 + extended ID (vlan 130) + MAC address.

In your case, you're the root, so the two lines of output are the same.
