Village dwellers bought items from itemsman’s or in the alehouse. Merchants, townspeople, tradesman used to sell seld made production from workshops or in the markets and marts. Noblemans organized trade at the alehouse. Peasants handled rarely. Only the most sophisticated and minded peasants were engaged in a commercial activity. Under the serfdom conditions mighty merchants and townspeople strife, juridical confines of economic activity and itemsmans and shoppers well organized trade system at the villages formed peasants uninterested in the enterprise. During the reforms season in the villages spread mobility trade forms. It was also influenced by the sparse web of townships, in possession of wright to organize markets and marts. But the liquidation of serfdom gave the way to enter the trade. Increasingly peasants and townspeople involved in the trade business simultaneously the web of domestic trade increased – the number of markets, marts and dolly-shops. While the web of domestic trade was spreading the emporium became more available. Therefore after the 1861 reforms the demand of mobility trade forms at the markets declined.

The increasing demands of the dwellers the requirements of permanent realization of goods, roused by industrial production. Furthermore, the specialization of trade enterprise showed up.
