[1913 Webster]
4. Specifically: The act or business of exchanging

commerce; traffic; barter.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Trade comprehends every species of exchange or dealing,
either in the produce of land, in manufactures, in
bills, or in money; but it is chiefly used to denote
the barter or purchase and sale of goods, wares, and
merchandise, either by wholesale or retail. Trade is
either foreign or domestic. Foreign trade consists in
the exportation and importation of goods, or the
exchange of the commodities of different countries.
Domestic, or home, trade is the exchange, or buying and
selling, of goods within a country. Trade is also by
the wholesale, that is, by the package or in large
quantities, generally to be sold again, or it is by
retail, or in small parcels. The carrying trade is the
business of transporting commodities from one country
to another, or between places in the same country, by
land or water.
[1913 Webster]
5. The business which a person has learned, and which he
engages in, for procuring subsistence, or for profit;
occupation; especially, mechanical employment as
distinguished from the liberal arts, the learned
professions, and agriculture; as, we speak of the trade of

[1913 Webster]
Note: The general direction of the trade winds is from N. E.
to S. W. on the north side of the equator, and from S.
E. to N. W. on the south side of the equator. They are
produced by the joint effect of the rotation of the
earth and the movement of the air from the polar toward
the equatorial regions, to supply the vacancy caused by
heating, rarefaction, and consequent ascent of the air
in the latter regions. The trade winds are principally
limited to two belts in the tropical regions, one on
each side of the equator, and separated by a belt which
is characterized by calms or variable weather.
