As a settlement grows the returns on trade improve too, as long as merchants are encouraged to do business. An organised Market allows locals to trade and brings in outside traders too. It's a place for people to meet, buy and sell, and catch up on gossip. Many goods are available, including information - at the right price.

Trade can, of course, be taxed. It can also be improved when this building is upgraded.

The Market is also a place to hire those who specialise in the information business.
