Key to Commodity descriptions

Besides which different types of commodities are shipped and bought in different quantities and different frequencies. A system that describes both the price and variation of wheat in Tâl Katar and marble in Bekdur must neccesarily be rather vague.
But I hope this will give the reader some idea of what I mean:
