You said: “Trade begins with wandering peddlars (sic) who trade what they can carry while walking. This is the prototype. Now, of course the intelligent among them make sure they carry small, high value items, LUXURIES.”

And you were asked what this had to do with trade in 1860.

Are you going to explain that or just babble on?
