Buying and selling were carried on after Mass, but this custom is not carried on now.
Money was not always given for goods, but labour was given in exchange.
Words connected with buying and selling in former times were "boot", "tick", "change" and "cant"
It was supposed to be very unlucky to sell anything on a Saturday.
Markets were held in towns an villages in former times.
There are some accounts of hucksters, pedlars, and dealers in feathers and rags, who visited these districts. It is very seldom they come now-a-days.
