问题 　　A market is commonly thought of as a place where commodities are bought and sold. Thus fruit and vegetables are sold wholesale at Covent Garden Market and meat is sold wholesale at Smithfield Market. But there are markets for things  【21】______   commodities, in the usual sense. There are  【22】______   estate markets, foreign exchange markets, labor markets, short-term capital markets, and so on; there may be a market for anything which has a price. And there may be no particular place  【23】______   dealings are confined. Buyers and sellers may be  【24】______   over the whole world and instead of actually meeting together in a market-place they may deal with one another  【25】______   telephone, telegram, cable or letter.  【26】______   dealings are  【27】______   to a particular place, the dealers may consist wholly or in part of agents  【28】______   instructions from clients far away. Thus agents buy meat at Smithfield  【29】______   retail butchers all over England; and  【30】______   on the London Stock Exchange buy and sell  【31】______   on instructions from clients all over the world. We must therefore define a market  【32】______   any area over which buyers and sellers are  【33】______   such close touch with one another, either directly or  【34】______   dealers, that the prices  【35】______   in one part of the market affect the prices paid in other parts.
　　Modem means of communication are so rapid that a buyer can discover  【36】______   asking, and can accept it if he wishes,  【37】______   he may be thousands of miles away. Thus the market for anything is 【38】______   . the whole world. But in fact things have, normally, only a local or national market.
　　  This may be because nearly the whole demand is concentrated  【39】______   one locality. These special local demands,  【40】______   , are of quite minor importance. The main reason why many things do not have a world market is that they are costly or difficult to transport.
